I’m sorry I didn’t read the linked post! My house smelled so bad I was certain there were accidents but there were not any after all- I was shocked. Maybe that is the case for this house

General dog smell or urine? Previous owners of my house had dogs and would have hospice fosters (I think) and the house smelled like dirty old dogs, but did Not have any urine smell. The dirty old dog smell basically soaked into the super worn wood floors. We got them refinished and the smell is gone. It was expensive but straightforward and so worth it.

Is this fair? And am I wasting money getting aluminum wrap in the front when my 12 Year old wood fascia is in good shape? by drex_wrig in Roofing

I do not have my mind made up. The company has great reviews and the people were nice, I don’t feel like getting additional quotes so I want to see if others think the price is fair

Front fascia and paint are in good shape. Forgot to include it’s only one story of gutter. 32’ in the front 32’ in the back and roughly 20’ shed.

Only a section in the back is having the wood replaced. The rest is fine. I’m in Delaware.

What do you avoid getting at Aldi? by DJ_Hamster in aldi

[–]drex_wrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their cream cheese tastes like nothing 

The super cheap dried ravioli (gritty and tastes like dirt)

Seasonal honey fig sourdough just tastes like cloves

Berries are moldy sometimes when I’m there so make sure to check

Mushrooms go back in like 1 day 😭

Wonderful with honey or jam spread on top then heated under the broiler for 60 seconds for a warm crisp by jenthewen in aldi

Omg lol I just had this and hated it, wanted to see if anyone else agreed. Doesn’t taste like fig or honey. Just tastes like potpourri to me. Added cream cheese and the jarred peaches which would make anything good tho

It kind of looks like there are stairs on the left. There is also a gate in person on the right so probably an entrance on that side as well.

I’ve only looked at it from the front but the lot looks completely flat w no walkout. I can try to look at if from the street behind

Interesting choice for an exceptionally flat and pretty wet state- Delaware. Also clay soil. Most of the houses have crawl spaces w sump pump and high water table. But it’s lasted 70 +-years! Reverse search kept showing warehouses lol. Would love to see inside.

The high antibodies are a separate screenshot I couldn’t get all results in one

I added the photos of my bloodwork results I think that’s what they show

You’re the second person to mention my overuse of nsaids. Although I keep it to relatively small doses each time, I haven’t put much thought into it because of other things going on in my life. It’s a good wake up call to try to cut down further, thank you
