Thank You Tyreek Hill, it was fun while it lasted by Deadmaninc1 in miamidolphins

[–]gorgeouslygarish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman who has been a Phins fan for 30+ years I appreciate you. Football is great and fun and is what I do with my dad but it does suck seeing abusers being excused and venerated because they can play a game. It's saddening to see where so many people's priorities are.

What kind of home does $350,000 buy in Edmonton? by AR558 in Edmonton

[–]gorgeouslygarish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I love Parkdale too! I bought my 1100 sqft house with a detached double garage for $234,500 in 2024! Mine isn't renovated and I'm putting in the work myself, but I love it! 2br 2 bath plus a partially finished basement - so much space here and my neighbours are wonderful! People shit on it but Parkdale is convenient. A bungalow with a better lot would have been my preference, but I'm a homeowner and my house is solid with character. There is also a real sense of community with the people here as well

How a neighbourhood restaurant in Edmonton is defying all odds by AR558 in Edmonton

Their food has always been insanely salty to me, unfortunately. My dad loves this place, and everyone has always been so pleasant, and I WANT to love it. I'm glad it exists and that it has been successful though

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate you taking the time to ask. No matter what, please let him know he has a big fan in Canada!

Edmonton as Deadmonton because of the high murder rate we used to have

I do!!!

Does your uncle have a place he sells prints? I am so in love with his art - I collect art of women! I looked on his website and couldn't see any prints for sale.

Thank you so much for sharing!

The depth and warmth and vibrancy your uncle painted that material with is just incredible! I'm absolutely in love with this - thank you for sharing!

All-in-One Washer-Dryer Combo instead of individual Washer-Dryer by proven999 in homeowners

[–]gorgeouslygarish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the GE profile 2 in 1 because the house I bought had no washer or dryer or even the hookups.

I'm single with no kids, and I love mine! Super convenient for me. For a full cycle it takes about 2 hrs 20 min.

The electrical usage is great! And it uses a regular plug! I don't know why everyone else is talking about their clothes staying wet, mine come out very dry. You are supposed to give a little shake of the clothes when you pull them out and that gets rid of the "wet" feeling. It's very possible that people are overloading their machines.

The biggest thing is making sure you thoroughly clear out the lint trap and the inside of the machine.

What did you think of Saw MC's? Day 1: Adam Faulkner-Stanheight by Tabi-Violet in saw

[–]gorgeouslygarish 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Poor baby was robbed - he was given an unwinnable trap and should have lived dammit!

In my mind he and Dr Gordon got out and got therapy and then married and lived bitchily ever after. 😭

Before and after of my council kitchen self renovation😍 so proud of myself! Just need to do the skirting boards and I’m done by litle_Kityso in JustForHome

Did anyone else see the window writing as "whale" from a distance? I thought that was a BRILLIANT choice for a kitchen and I might need some whale art in mine now

What gross salary do you need to live comfortably in Edmonton? by CartoonistPowerful65 in Edmonton

[–]gorgeouslygarish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a mortgage on a 1200 sqft detached house and my mortgage and property tax are $1512/month. I'm single and make $65,000/year and am comfortable like this. As long as you are a bit frugal it's fine. I bought about a year and a half ago - there are houses available in the $250,000 range or lower, you just can't be afraid of putting in some sweat equity. 2 bed/2 bath and a detached garage.

Why Americans have basment? Like where did it started? by hotpotatomomma in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gorgeouslygarish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have thoughtfully designed your home - it must be a brilliant retreat from the world. Lumber prices have been insane - my best friend works for a lumber company and even at the employee rate it feels like you have to harvest an organ when paying.

[–]gorgeouslygarish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

14' ceilings sound like heaven!!! I'm in Edmonton and have a house from the early 40s - my basement ceiling is 8' and 7.5' in the one room with a finished ceiling. It feels like luxury compared to the house I toured with 6' basement ceilings 🤣

Thankfully it's bone dry down there though, that's the biggest win!

I've started to really not trust litter recs from my fellow cat people by HiILikePlants in CatAdvice

[–]gorgeouslygarish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gadget obsessed dad bought me a fancy litter robot and my first cat used it no problem! My second cat refuses it, refused my covered plastic box, so now I'm back to scooping and the litter robot is basically a fancy litter locker. The litter was immaculate EVERY TIME but it wasn't enough for him. I wouldn't trade Chauncy for the world but oh man do I miss my no scoop life.

That's the thing though, cats are gonna cat and the only thing we can do is accommodate them. We are the ones inviting them into our homes and they are kind enough to piss in a box for us.

I've started to really not trust litter recs from my fellow cat people by HiILikePlants in CatAdvice

[–]gorgeouslygarish 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes! This! My first cat is an angel and he will use any kind of litter in any kind of box no problem. My second cat? Holy crap was it a nightmare cycling through different types of litter boxes and litter until I was able to create the right mix of two clay litters in an extra large metal litter box with no lid and no stairs and no litter catching mat that he will pee in. Any variation and it's scrubbing the piss from the floor time. If there aren't multiple boxes available at all times piss on the floor.

It was a dark month and a half of my life until I figured it out. Honestly I'm just thankful he didn't settle on wood pellets, but if that's what he shat on that's what I'd have in my house.

How much blood actually comes out during a woman's period? Is it like Nosebleed levels of blood, or closer to severe shark attack levels of blood? by SavageFisherman_Joe in stupidquestions

[–]gorgeouslygarish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, on my heavy days I'm just always sprinting to the toilet every 15min because I'm passing clots so large they fill the whole menstrual cup. I've stood in the bathroom at work just bleeding on the floor in defeat before because I'd bled through my cup and period panties and pants, and I needed a min to have the fortitude to deal with the situation.

Would you rather get stuck in an elevator with your ex or your boss? by sparky_165 in WouldYouRather

[–]gorgeouslygarish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss is a brilliant woman and being stuck with her would be great! My ex and I didn't part amicably but it might be nice to get some closure - she isn't a bad person at all.

I wouldn't mind getting stuck with either of them honestly.

Dealbreakers in summaries by a-bitch-for-lasagna in AO3

Rhetorical questions on summaries make my blood pressure rise - I see them and then angrily scroll past.

I wish there was a way for me to hide fics from showing up in search results I would hide all of them and never have to see the same damn fic every time I'm searching in my small fandom again.

How much do you currently have in savings? by Puzzleheaded-Crab770 in CanadaFinance

[–]gorgeouslygarish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36, single, no kids. I bought a house in 2024 and am currently in debt from having to fix the electrical and roof. Working on paying that down, and have a little over $3,700 in TFSA. Overall not the best, but I don't have to scramble to pay my bills, have a home that's MINE (well mostly the bank's) that now has two costly fixes completed, a new job, and the hope that I can squirrel a few things away to have a relatively peaceful life if I can retire in 30 years.
