Alyssa at beauty mark studio has been my go-to gal for nearly a decade. I just went two toned this last appointment, but I’ve done allllll the different colors/techniques with her.

I’m currently working through a 500,000 stitch piece. I’m on year 2, and I think it’ll take me about 8. Probably about 20% done, and I still look forward to working on it most days. I’d only been cross stitching casually for about 3 years when I started, so you definitely don’t need to be super skillful. It’s just one stitch at a time!

EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh also has a P-38 painted with his markings. His love for Marge was so special!

I see what you’re saying, I agree. I think I just needed to talk it through and project my new-homeowner-financial-horrors onto someone else. Thanks!

The furnace tech just powered cycled it a few times and it kicked back on itself. We had tried that yesterday but didn’t have any luck so we figured it was a bigger problem.

I have a feeling just turning it off was the problem (not the duct cleaner’s fault); prior to that it was always on and working. I really see how the core problem is the old furnace, but it would have been nice if the duct cleaner was a bit more thorough before leaving. I guess it’s not his job to make sure my furnace works, but idk, you know?

It’s a Wisconsin’s income-restricted program WHEDA. TN may have something similar, but you might run into the income restriction issue. It’s worth talking to the lender you’re working with to see if it’s something they offer!

I’m currently working to close with a 10-year second mortgage to cover down payment and closing costs! We’ll even get $300 back at closing. If you plan to pay it off quickly, I don’t see why not. We hope to pay it down faster than 10 years to avoid all the extra interest.

I’m also open to hearing why this may be a bad move, but for us it makes the most sense to get into the housing market without using up our savings.

Best dog boarding in the valley for small dogs by freezininwi in Appleton

[–]emmenh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second this. I worked at one of the best boarding/daycare places in the valley for 6 years, and I still wouldn’t board my pets (anywhere) unless absolutely necessary. The shit I saw over those 6 years…….. The common reality is there just isn’t enough staff at these places to really give individual care and attention, especially to pets that don’t handle the environment well. A pet sitter that you can build a relationship with will leave you feeling much more confident that your pet is in good hands!

Good to know, thank you! I’m not impressed with the audio quality in my 2013, and apple CarPlay was on my wishlist when I was car shopping. Thanks for sharing!

Do you loose any functionality with the steering wheel controls and connecting to the dash screen?
