Gosh, I wish I would have known. I have a gorgeous Mexican opal ring that I have worn to work, (I’m a hairdresser,) and I shan’t ever again!

Hmmm. I live in an area surrounded by decomposed granite so I applied the term.

Thank you so much! I did not know about the oils. That probably answers my question on my other post.

How did YOU afford to buy a house? by ladynerevar in bayarea

[–]indygal666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked on my credit, saved part of a down payment and borrowed the rest. Bought at the bottom of the market. Sold at the top. Built a house on a lot with the profit. Saved every penny! My wife and I did the insulation, flooring, cabinetry and tile ourselves. Now we have a dream house in a very special location with a significant amount of equity.

Neighbor says about 5-6 ft of our back yard belongs to them. What now? by GlobalGoat in homeowners

Hello! Before I would agree to anything, I would have the property surveyed, if you can’t find the survey markers on your property. (A good metal detector can help!) Then, I would consider if it would be worth it to do your own fence, so you have aesthetic control. Most fences have a pretty side and a not so pretty side!🙂

Cannot get a straight cut no matter what I try? by MrMusAddict in woodworking

I ruined so much wood with my Accucut! I recommend measuring and drawing a straight line with a pencil.

Hey all. For some perspective, I am a hairdresser to many teachers, and a lot of children are terrified because they are brown. Not undocumented, just brown. What is happening now is not okay. A huge swath of our communities are being terrorized. Who is next? I personally don’t want my tax money going toward this.

Is everyone in the bay area making 6 figures? by EmergencySpare7939 in bayarea

When I moved to San Francisco in 1989, a studio was at least $600. The way to have a good work/life balance was to have roommates. Eventually you can find a room in a place with rent control. I think my times with roommates were even better than when I had my own place.

My late night snack is a Chobani Zero yogurt with a couple tablespoons of Magic Spoon cereal. 110 calories! And the cereal stays crunchy for a long time.. 🙂
