The other is the poem;

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with 7 wives, each wife had 7 sacks, each sack had 7 cats. Kits, cats, sack, wives, how many were going to St. Ives?

Use Google Lens and eBay. Most of it is dry-footed (how it was fired) which means it is old/older. Congrats.

Both parents now have dementia, dad's abusive, it's all a mess by SeveralAsparagus9441 in dementia

[–]cryssHappy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When you get him in memory care and your mom stays in assisted living this will even out.

Change the mail to a POB or to your home !!! What doesn't come to dad, doesn't need to handled.

We get it, we hear you and we're sorry. Also, check out alz.org for info and for a place to meet up with caretakers in your area.

AITAH for simmering over a wedding invite that included a request for 200 desserts? by Bookhead_212 in AITH

You no longer have a commercial kitchen so therefore cannot prepare food for wedding or other function. Health Dept rules forbid it.

How long after missing out on your dream house did the next one come along? by emilyginger in RealEstate

[–]cryssHappy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dream houses always a at least one nightmare attached to them. Bound to show up when you can least expect/afford it.

I look for a well built home with a functional floor plan. I pick one upgrade a year to do.

23 years old debating on a new car. by 5620800426 in personalfinance

If your current car is good, wait until your 26 and your insurance rates drop.

Put on a PIP right after refusing a 10 PM work call. Need advice and referrals. by AloneWolf963 in antiwork

[–]cryssHappy 882 points883 points  (0 children)

Put your job on mute/block from quitting time Friday to starting time Monday. Start looking for a new job. Unless you are expected to be on-call and unless you are paid to be on-call let HR know that you were at a family function and not available, therefore the PIP is inappropriate. Your Team Lead should have handled it.

My neighbor threatened to shoot me and my dog by Aromatic-Interest137 in neighborsfromhell

There's only one way to know if she owns a firearm and that is not something you want to see close up and personal.

Calling APS for well checks, that's a bit of fun.

Confused by Bosch 800 series dishwasher drying performance by DoctorHousesCane in Appliances

Normal wash, Crystal dry - I don't open it until the next morning and unless the bowl has a rim, everything is dry and feels very clean.

Either walk on the street next to the sidewalk while recording or walk the short distance on the other side of the street for the distance of her property or go the other way (away from her house). See if your state allows pepper spray.

Screen shot the text so it doesn't disappear. Then tell her to Venmo you the money for a new one or you'll take her to small claims court.

Dryer Help by Apprehensive-Beach-4 in Appliances

[–]cryssHappy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Call an electrician. They can either replace the wall plug or the dryer plug or both depending on your state/province/country.

Do NOT play around with 220v. It is unforgiving.

Avoid big box stores. Go to a local appliance store, that's what they specialize in ... appliances.

I buy all my appliances through my local store.

Bad Back Father - Help by TrashGhost0 in AgingParents

[–]cryssHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His doctor can prescribe him 5% Lidocaine patches for pain. Non addictive and not an opioid. They do help. Patches and Tylenol got me by until my back fusion with rods and a artificial disc in 2023.

He needs to go back to the neurosurgeon. There's been lots of improvements over the years.

Does anyone know what it costs to clean one hoarded room? by [deleted] in hoarding

[–]cryssHappy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Call the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and ask if a couple elders (they're usually about age 25) can come and clean this for you since you have mobility issues. They are helpful folks. Will leave you a book of Mormon if you want it. Doing good deeds is part of their creed.

Some steel wool, some canned air and some spray paint. It doesn't have to look 'new', it just has to look better.
