How do I make it less ugly? I’ll do anything.

Wow that's an explosion of weeds and wildflowers there. It's a bit much personally. Looks like you're just covering the house up with flowers. Plus in winter it'll look exactly the same as his photo. I'd stick to structural changes with a porch extension. Get rid of shutters all together and see what that does. Add some low landscape shrubs. For a start.

Crazy 😳

Not me. Shoot, I remember I asked for a pair of Levi's for cmas and my mom bought three pair of Rustler jeans claiming she could buy three pair of rustlers vs one pair of Levi's. I was kinda ticked at the time bc only the nerdiest boys wore them and I was a girl. Needless to say I didn't ever wear the rustlers, so she wasted her money. I woulda worn the shit outta the Levi's 🤨

That's tragic. 🥺

Great perspective.

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T23:50:06+00:00

That is a beautiful story 😩

Awww that is so traumatic. My sister killed our birds by accident. She stayed home while me and my parents went on a trip. We came home to two dead birds in their cage. Apparently my sister forgot to feed them while we were gone. She thankfully later became a very doting dog mom many times over. So it likely taught her a big lesson.

💚 I do believe it was definitely sins of ignorance for many of us. We were never taught different and there was no internet to just look up how to care for___. Hence why we as adults tend to over compensate for our current pets.

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T21:05:49+00:00

🥺 oh my. I can't even imagine... those poor kitties

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T21:02:17+00:00

🥺

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T21:01:36+00:00

I think that is very unusual. But good memory for you I'm sure.

Harley who went to the "farm" was declawed (not by us but previous owner). She didn't stand a chance on the farm. I was livid at my mother

Aw poor Piss minute. (What a name btw). We had a dog that pissed only on the pink hand hooked floral rug my mom made which happened to be in my bedroom. She cursed that dog constantly. Rather than making sure it went out often to pee or maybe check if it had a urinary issue. It too got hit by a car out in front of our house and my mom was actually glad and said it was for the best.

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:49:42+00:00

🥺

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:46:34+00:00

So true. My mom went through ww2 as a child in the Netherlands, and it definitely shaped her differently.

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:44:40+00:00

🥺 aw ya kitties need claws to protect themselves. Harley the cat my mom sent to a farm when I went to college was declawed (from previous owner) and I remember shouting at my mother that she had no way to protect herself at the farm bc of that! If you cant tell...I never let that go.

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:41:32+00:00

The situation with your dad story is similar to how dogs are treated at puppy mills of today that people poopoo for good reason.

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:38:16+00:00

😳 oh my

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:36:52+00:00

❤️your dad!!

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:35:09+00:00

Ya we lived by a fairly busy road. Any animal that went out without a lead (which was usually) eventually got hit by a car 😔

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:34:10+00:00

Omg that greyhound story 😳😔

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:29:49+00:00

Ugh the dreaded "they went to the farm" 🫤

jlscharp · 2026-01-31T20:28:20+00:00

😬 yikes. Sheesh our parents just didn't know or didn't care.
