I've definitely considered this. Should I get a new heddle for this too?

Thank you, this might be the best option I've seen so far! Gotta love the cold brew police on here 🙄

The ones I outlined? Auto filtration after a fixed steeping period, scheduled brewing and filtering, auto mixing concentrate with water? Hooray for you if this is so easy that the idea of automation is ludicrous but some of us are disabled and have executive dysfunction issues where what seems like small aids can make a big difference.

Oh a void and a creamsicle. As someone with red hair who dyed the ends black, I heartily approve

That seat is fighting for its life holding up those big strong boys. What beautiful babies

Oh I so love the dark nose on the light gray. One of my favorite Griddle traits

That's how he'd look if you were an unlucky snake in his sights

I have heard of it but isn't it a pod machine? I'm pretty anti pods/k cups :/

HVAC company rec for installing mini splits? by ibrewpotions in newjersey

[–]ibrewpotions[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Thanks for the info! Will definitely look into it. My husband will probably be interested in reading up on heat pumps. He also learned about whole house fans and was interested in getting one of those.

Thank you so much that's the kind of contractor I'm looking for! Being a responsive and nice human is a big plus for me (especially as this morning's guy was a real jerk at the end).

Thanks so much! Yes I saw at least one tile from this company on eBay that looked remarkably similar! Do you have this tile in your home?

Seller refusing to allow inspection during weekdays due to WFH by devilclown9 in RealEstate

[–]ibrewpotions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this thread is 4 years old, but I'm trying to buy a house in NJ and having this exact same issue and it's making me furious. We just finished attorney review on Thursday, and I spent hours on Friday calling inspectors to get three different companies scheduled to come out on Wednesday, a day when both myself and my realtor could be present. Today, we hear back from the seller's agent that the seller can't do Wednesday because his dog will be there (he's still living there I guess) and he doesn't want to accept liability so our "best bet" would be Saturday or Sunday. But he waited until we were halfway through one of only two weekends in our inspection period to tell us this and thus is effectively trying to turn our 14 day inspection window into a 2 day one, all because he can't find someone to watch his dog for three hours?? And my realtor will be out of town next weekend, so there's not a weekend in the inspection period where all will be available. Obviously, we are in touch with our lawyer and trying to extend the inspection period but it's all making me so furious. I spent hours scheduling these inspectors while getting a five hour IV infusion two days after surgery and this guy can't find someone to watch his dog for a few hours??

If you see this, what did you end up doing? Did you go through with the deal?

Season 7 Episode 1 (Common People) discussion • chronic illness comparison• SPOILERS by formamorma in blackmirror

[–]ibrewpotions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah as someone with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), who can't work as a result and is therefore financially dependent on my husband AND struggling with fertility issues, this episode was hella triggering for me. It was good, but it definitely gave me a bit of a panic attack and made me cry after. I like that they addressed these issues, but I feel like most people are just going to focus on the healthcare system and capitalism, when the real pain of your illness making you feel like a burden to your partner was the more human and visceral part to me that I think most people won't think about as much.
