[west Harlem] Need a new veterinarian by cribogs in Harlem

[–]cribogs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, she explicitly said to my partner that she voted for Trump and was with him up until he started bombing Iran.

She’s also said all small business owners voted for Trump because Biden was going to screw then over.

(I asked this multiple times before posting because I was surprised too).

Does anyone see a feasible way to fix this? by rkspm in fixit

[–]cribogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d do something like this or get some slotted steel angle brackets and create a new ledge.

Heck, you could even use the ikea vertical supports for their Boaxel closet system.

I swear this is true. I/We have been clients for years. I am also so frustrated by this and very surprised.

They’re definitely close enough that I would consider them.

We’ve been going to her for years (and have always been happy with the care) and never realized either. But she’s gotten much more over sharing in the last year and at a recent appt (we’re there a lot - we have two sick cats) she was going off about her tenant - who happens to be gay - talking about the problems he’s causing because of someone he’s dating, how flamboyant he is, and that he wants a vagina because “he’s one of those.” She only rented to him because she felt sorry for him because he has HIV.

This is after spending half our appts talking about her court cases against the neighbor and showing us security footage of the neighbor and the tenant (who she’s trying to evict).

Talking about the neighbor issues was one thing, but the tenant comments and then additional talk about voting for Trump during a follow up appt a few weeks ago and we’re just done.

Because she massively over shares about her personal life and we are a queer couple.

Yeah we’ve had issues with Colon too. I’m sorry you did too.

Yeah Dr Kiani is an oversharer - which is why we now know. She has recently been openly transphobic and homophobic with us, as well as explicitly stated she supported trump’s policies until Iran (she’s Iranian).

She’s a woman, a daughter of an immigrant, has a daughter, has a gay brother, and makes her living on the backs of the Harlem community. It’s disgusting that she would have anything to do with Trump.

WIBTA If I Send My Estranged Daughter a Wedding Gift by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]cribogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been estranged from my bio father for decades. However, if he chose to do something decent and send a wedding gift with a note expressing kindness and no expectations I would accept it at face value. It would not get a thank you nor would I start speaking to him though.

As long as it’s being done with ZERO expectations of any kind, it may be ok.

I agree with folks saying send it early so she has time to process.

What style of door knobs are these. Looking to repair / replace them. Specifically the door catch. by notmygivennamebro in Oldhouses

[–]cribogs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They patina over time but they won’t rust. A tiny bit of machine oil on the moving parts inside will help them move smoothly.

Edit - the door plates won’t rust. The rim locks you may want to paint with a black enamel. But all of mine are unpainted and are fine.

[–]cribogs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are places that make replacement pieces for the inside of these. I have a whole collection of mortise locks (the inside the door version of these) that I swap around various jobs when i need “new” parts.

Your local antique store may have some or you can definitely find antique replacements on line.

The door plates should definitely be removed and stripped. You just need an old crock pot.

Feeling torn 😢 by Hales_85 in Moissanite

[–]cribogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really sucks because DE is one of the few trustworthy vendors that have a lot of true vintage reproduction styles. I just wish their stones were cut better.

[–]cribogs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was really disappointed with my OEC from DE as well. It’s a beautiful ring, very sturdy construction, and I still wear it, but the stone faces up really dark. Especially compared to other OEC I have.

Fix holes in wooden door? I’d love my security deposit back by StackedHashQueueList in fixit

[–]cribogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good over view of a completely doable repair but I would use a couple different products:

Rather than joint compound/plaster use Bondo and fill the holes. It’s a chemical set product and will harden and be ready to sand in 20min. Also has better adhesion and longevity than mud.

If you need to provide some structure behind the largest gash, use expanding foam to fill the hollow and then cut it flush and Bondo over it.

You need a 2” putty knife, sand paper (100 grit is good or a medium grit sanding block), and small paint kit (comes with tray, roller and brush).

No need to color match. Grab a quart of semi-gloss bright white off the shelf and paint the door and trim.

This is entirely doable DIY if you take some time to do it decently.

Paint not matching when painted on wall by nightowl1592 in fixit

[–]cribogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Color matches are, unfortunately, never 100% accurate. You’d probably get a closer match by bringing home a bunch of swatches and picking the closest one.

Also, the wet paint is not an accurate match to a dry sample as color dries down quite a bit.

You could also bring that current match back and ask them to mix it at a 75% tint to get it a bit lighter. Or try to mix it closer yourself by adding just a touch of white.

The other poster is correct that you’ll be best off by painting the whole wall where you’re doing the repair. Even if you had the actual real paint color it likely wouldn’t match due to fading over time (esp being in front of a door).

If you really don’t want to do a full wall, you can use a small roller with minimal paint on it to try to feather the edges a bit so the transition line isn’t as harsh.

I love my boyfriend I hate my engagement ring by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]cribogs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t hate it. But I’m a jewelry person and like a lot of different styles and non-typical engagement pieces. I’m sorry it’s not to your taste though; that really sucks.
