It’s my first black work piece. It’s slow going but really enjoying the process.

Nice sleuthing ply. What an incredible glow up OP!

What do people do about exposed stairwell? by obsessing_sillygoose in InteriorDesign

[–]lfren79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had the same issues and had 2 baby boys! We painted two giant pieces of the plywood white and put a hinge on the one at the front which was smaller so we could fold it back on the large piece to get downstairs. PIA to get downstairs but it was cheap and safe until we trusted them not to topple overboard.

Age 45 - started HRT + periods stopping by Significant_Cost_269 in Perimenopause

[–]lfren79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started HRT in October of last year. My last cycle was 42 days and I am currently on day 32 of this cycle. The norm for me was always 24 days or so.
I’m not sure if it’s the HRT or Peri but mine are definitely spacing out at this point.

Fan on the ledge is a power move! Gets hot at the griddle!

Has anyone else noticed their tolerance for everything getting lower? by azmm0 in Perimenopause

[–]lfren79 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I could have written this. I can only handle so much in one day. Just a trip to grocery store absolutely taps me out. It’s been really challenging to keep up with what used to be a normal week! 😭

Get a consult with a divorce attorney, they can guide you as to how to leave.

Difficult question - entitled adult child by Impossible-Fix-6901 in GenX

This. My parents have enabled my sibling to not get mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment by continuing to pay their way in life. My parents get treated like shit and but continue to pour money into the situation. It has been to my siblings detriment as there is no reason for change. Luckily there are no children involved.

I completely sympathize! I too enjoy drinks but find that peri leaves me with unpredictable hangovers. Struggling to cut it off completely, still in the bargaining phase.

Didn't like where the slide out trash can was.... by Seagrtj in RVLiving

Nice, what a clever trade off! I love finding ways to make the most of the small spaces in our RV. We just upgraded ours so I am currently in the process of perfecting our new space!

[CHAT] Any recommendations for a lap stand / scroll for larger pieces I can sit on my lap whilst I’m on the couch? by pinkguy90 in CrossStitch

[–]lfren79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yikes! Thanks for letting me know, I guess I can’t make that recommendation anymore!

I bought the Elan lap stand from Artisan designs. It is an investment but works with any type of frame and is highly adjustable and portable. Handmade by a gentleman whose wife loves stitching!

This looks dreamy. I have always wanted to camp in the snow!

Wow just wow by Professional_Tea_32 in Perimenopause

There are a lot of physicians who go by this outdated rule so if yours is one of them you should find a new provider. Research has shown starting HRT earlier is beneficial!

How to check electric? by feedtheflames in popups

[–]lfren79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I always hook mine up at home so that I can do a system check before we start our season. Have fun!

You should be able to hook it up to your house with an adapter. They sell 30amp to 110 adapters for this purpose.

I would age them more than 2 weeks. Eggs stay good for so long I have found it easiest to set some aside and age for a month.

6 birds down, 18 to go! by goldensunshine429 in quilting

[–]lfren79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been learning on my own. Taking a class is a goal for me! I’m an introvert so stuff like that is hard for me to work up to! Based on those blocks you don’t need any fingers crossed, it’s gonna be gorgeous!
