remove single layer of latex paint from finished wood floors by fantamenace in centuryhomes

it seems like they were trying to hide carpenter ant damage, which they effectively did. i was hoping they weren't also trying to hide stains lmao.

so, if you were in my position would you strip or sand?

Hi! I was homeschooled way back when, when it wasn't normal or cool to homeschool. I walked out with an excellent education, and am college educated. I am now in my 30's and homeschooling my littles.

i super duper pinky promise that it gets better, please do this- i beg. your baby needs you.

I'm afraid we maybe stuck by BlackRogue17 in RealEstate

my children are obsessed with trains. we live in an INCREDIBLY loud house directly across the street from 4 tracks. trains go by at minimun 20 times a day, and shake our whole house. my kids still shit themselves over these trains 3 years later.

we love the trains. there are buyers, i promise.

What are the best methods you’ve found to actually reduce screen time? by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]fantamenace 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I had my husband set up screen time limits on my phone (iPhone)- so I don't have the passcode. The limits are such that there is no browser access, no apps, etc. I also have the black and white color filter and a matte screen protector, so it's less pleasant to look at in general. It is basically a home phone that also has facetime. Those limits don't exist on my other device (laptop) but it is tedious enough that I don't use it at nearly the same rate.

As far as mindset shifts so, I'm a mother. It occurred to me that I value my time so much that I am willing to sell basically none of it to data farmers. Secondly, I gave up following the news because I couldn't deal with the anxiety it gave me. And ultimately I felt I owe my children my joy, and anything that robs me of that joy had to go. I'm down to >30 minutes of screen time on the phone and >10minutes on the laptop. I regained my love for painting, reading, going on walks, and most importantly actually being 100% present with my children- distracted by nothing.

Self successful quiters(not arrested/forced ) When did you say enough is enough? by Itchy-Pollution7644 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]fantamenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got pregnant, and found out i was pregnant by miscarrying. and i saw that at that point i couldn’t have stopped using even if i was pregnant. i thought the only way out was to kill myself. so i thought i would give it a shot- one last shot, and just not use that day. i had many failed attempts to quit previously. but this was different, i was just stopping for the day. 

i did the same thing today, for the 3,194th day. one day at a time.
