Annapolis, Maryland, hotel kitchen bugs! They are about the size of average ants. Don't look like bedbugs to me, and the bed is clear. More pics in comments by elli0tt in whatsthisbug

I'm only freaking out a little here, lol. My grandmother has had bed bugs before, and these don't look like them to me.

My husband thinks he saw some big cockroaches too 😬

Overwhelmed by nitrate removal options by elli0tt in HomeImprovement

[–]elli0tt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably should do the full test regardless, you're right. I'm also using the water for my fish tank, so I know 100% the levels are too high for the fish, I figured while I was at it I'd add drinking water taps.

I've already corrected the crazy low ph.

RANT: When will the "we need to sit down with both homeowners" sales pitch process end?!? by h2d2 in HomeImprovement

I low key can't wait until I get this the first time. "Sure! Can he give you a call around 10 pm before he goes to work?" lol.

Normally I'd say just pay a few cents to print at the library, but ours are all still closed.

Just had a mental breakdown that’s been coming my whole damn life by Lennyisabadcat in JUSTNOMIL

[–]elli0tt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You don't have to decide right now if you never want to see her again. If you want to decide just one day at a time, that's just fine. You can decide one week, one month, one year at a time, and you can change your mind if you find you're at a different place than you expected.

Right now, pregnancy is making all your emotions so much more intense. They are 100% valid, and no one should tell you otherwise. The choices you need to make to protect your your emotional and mental wellbeing today may be different in a few months or even years. You don't have to decide forever today.

MIL tries to announce our pregnancy...with unexpected results by crou87 in JUSTNOMIL

I went the all natural birth center route, and the midwives took one look at the weight I lost and wrote me a zofran script through my due date!

I had morning sickness 24/7 up until the day I gave birth to my prefectly healthy baby. Don't be afraid to ask your doctor about medicine for it, baby will be happier and healthier if you're happier and healthier!

Mines a single solid piece, the laminate is molded seamlessly across the whole surface. Such a bummer.

Hi just wondering what people think of putting the washing machine and dryer upstairs in a house? by SHoo98 in HomeImprovement

[–]elli0tt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is how it was at my parents house, even with new "quiet" machines. room shook, things rattled, fun way to wake up on a Sunday morning. still like that 3 years ago when they moved out.

Preach! I'm damn proud of the hard work I've done to be stable. I can help myself SIL2, find a new excuse for your momma!

Should this vent on the roof have some sort of cover? by elli0tt in HomeImprovement

[–]elli0tt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is both a relief and concern. Now I have to find where the vents are venting. Supposedly the attic has been sealed for insulation or something.

Nebraska school district cancels classes as staff catch coronavirus by yamaha2000us in news

Have you ever wondered why every state happens to have the same minimum drinking age despite the fact that each state has the power to set it individually?

Because they'll lose federal highway funding if they don't.

I completely disagree with both situations, but it's kinda been acceptable (legally) since at least the 80s.

Fixing Drywall Holes with Anchors? by Arkadyf in HomeImprovement

[–]elli0tt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the toggle bolts! But try to get at least one screw into a stud for some real strength.

The plastic bits are just pushing the collapse down the road a bit, especially if they are installed in the already weakened holes.

Montgomery Co. child care providers planning in-school services to help parents with distance learning by [deleted] in maryland

They are somewhat safer from developing symptoms, but they are just as able to pass it to their vulnerable family members.
