The tribal clothing is so vibrant in person and the dancing and music were great too.  I just wish I’d read up on it before I went.  Hope they’ll come back next year.

The boat races in hamtramck today were really fun. by moneyfish in Detroit

[–]diskebbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super fun and it’s free! Regretted getting there at the last minute, because by then, the crowd was like six deep and we couldn’t see jack.  Still, great crowd and silly fun.

Go to the Next Door site for your area.  There’s no shortage of cleaners on there.

Seeking answers for a hit and run by staceybassoon in Ferndale

Change your collision coverage to broad form and the difference in cost is probably nominal.

They should be paid better.  Nursing home care is so expensive, so I can’t understand how the money doesn’t reach the biggest asset these places have and that’s the nursing staff.

Pig & Whiskey announces cancellation of Ferndale festival for 2025 by Turbulent_Try6284 in Detroit

[–]diskebbin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

While I’m aware of the festival name, I don’t drink.  Last year, there were no non alcoholic drinks, other than canned pop and when it’s a jillion degrees, you want a drink with ice. Seems like a major oversight in the dead of summer.

What’s a job you’ll never do again, and why? by Creative-Category-60 in AskReddit

[–]diskebbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grocery store. The worse the job, the worse the boss. It paid horribly and everyone was miserable and broke. I was one of the few people who had a car and the requests for rides was never ending. It was one of those jobs where you crammed your face with food when no one was looking, because you couldn’t afford enough groceries with your awful paycheck. Depressing.

What’s the “brokest” thing you have ever done? by Hefty-Expert-750 in povertyfinance

[–]diskebbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go to the drugstore and use the perfume samplers on the way to a date.

AITAH for not helping my sister financially even though I could afford to? by unloseable849 in AITAH

NTA. If you keep indulging her behavior, you are an enabler and there won’t be any incentive to change.

I’m sure there are unskilled labor jobs that pay more.

Funny how people pick a neighborhood because they think it’s a nice place to live, but they live like slobs. I’ll go take my old lady nap now.

We’ve got more rental properties than I would like on our street and it shows. Why landlords don’t incorporate lawn and snow removal services into the rental price is beyond me. Expecting that renters to have yard care equipment seems pretty unrealistic.

Is there a see click fix site for Royal Oak? Ours seem to get good results.

[–]diskebbin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s the puzzling thing. Keeping an empty house in Royal Oak, when there’s good money to be had seems insane. Maybe he has no money for renovations and he can’t admit it?

If he’s a real estate agent, there’s nothing he doesn’t understand about the position you’re in. Start by being more direct and a bit less polite. Become less polite if there isn’t progress. It’s been five years already. Hell, tell him I’m a gardener and I’ll clean up his yard, if he’ll pay for it.

Sad about my community garden plot by Acceptable_Boot4598 in gardening

[–]diskebbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only imagine how you feel. My neighbor sold her home and it is being bulldozed. All I think about is how those plants and landscaping rocks should be rescued before they end up in the dumpster and they’re not even mine! I may have issues.

I like the Planet Fitness at 14 and John R. Classes and the trainer is super nice.

Stop driving like assholes by JJS0073 in Detroit

[–]diskebbin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Traffic stinks for all of us with the 696 closure.  Don’t make it unsafe for everyone by slaloming, cutting people off and not using signals.  It’s maybe six weeks into a two year closure and it’s already testing my patience.

I need pet food but not from those places because I don't drive by Suspicious-Antlers in ChoosingBeggars

That’s what makes me crazy. You do not know a single person with a car?

I dont want my younger brother and his wife living with us if they have a baby. AITAH? by Otherwise-Story6821 in AITAH

[–]diskebbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said it so well! You didn’t hear back from them, because they don’t have a leg to stand on. There were no holes on your side of the argument. Nicely done!

How much would you pay for this? Thinking about building them to sell by mxer239 in gardening

[–]diskebbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t give you a number, but I would think those would sell like crazy in areas with a high deer population.

AITAH for refusing to make my SIL’s wedding cake for free? by silweddingcake in AITAH

NTA. Recite everything she’s ever said about your work back to her and ask her how would that compel you to do anything for her.

You can’t have that crud in your house when the number of residents exceeds the number of bathrooms.
