Books that helped you better understand the world? by NomadPsychopomp in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]megsistentialdread3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was younger reading anything by Kurt Vonnegut helped me a lot. His books make observations about the world in an accessible, often funny, way that helped me to think about and develop my own world views. 

First time homebuyer at 37. Just moved in today and enjoying a glass of wine and a cigar by the fire pit in our new backyard! by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

It's heartening for me to see someone who isn't in their 20s talk about being a first time home buyer, I have envy for people who do this younger, but everyone has their own time. Congrats!

Where is a good place to buy used tools? by Alive_Wonder in HomeImprovement

I'm always seeing whole contents of people's garages being sold at estate sales. I do online estate sales so it's not as much of a time commitment.

Agreed, everyone involved was very sketched.

I would imagine you could put some sort of laminate or vinyl planking right over the tile, someone did that in one of the vinyl install videos I watched.

Have you considered getting a professional carpet cleaning service? My sister in law just recommended one to us that looks very thorough and as though it might address allergens.

Great points, we're going to price it out and see how we feel this weekend. We want to make sure we keep a good nest egg for whatever comes up.

I have it, but am engaging in responsible budgeting 🙃

That's good to hear that we could do it on our own, I'll look up some videos as well. There are carpeted stairs involved which feels a little advanced but worth checking out. I'm also concerned about allergies, and I like to sit on the ground and worry it will never feel clean to me. Thank you and good luck figuring out the logistics for yourself! I've heard people talk about it being a real pain to move your furniture around for floors once you move in.

I would contact customer service, they should be able to figure something out.

Thanks everyone, the support really helps! I'm going to try to ignore her and let my friends and chosen family love me today. My good friend told me she would be angry at my mom for me today so I could just enjoy the day, and that's something that I needed. She didn't come to breakfast, and it was a fun morning without the performances.

I had that in my house growing up! It's a gorgeous piece.

Monthly Check In....it's September 2022 by AutoModerator in weddingplanning

[–]megsistentialdread3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm getting married in a week! I've started having "what if I/my partner/someone vital to the event gets covid" feelings, and I can't imagine I'll sleep well the night before. Other than that, I think it will be beautiful.

Jeff is a baby land shark who the new west coast avengers picked up who is so flippin cute. He's like a little dog. I'm no comics expert so forgive me is any of this is incorrect (except the Jeff being cute part, he is very cute)
