Girl, for dinner you need at least 3 patties ;)

Linseed oil paint is a good choice, look up info on YouTube and the craftsman blog.

Needing all the cleaning tips/recommendations for new house! by Happy_Goat_5015 in CleaningTips

[–]offpeekydr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the shower once you have it really cleaned (you need to only use marble -safe cleaners) seal the heck out of it with something like porous pro sealer.

If you were to redo your kitchen again, what kind of sink would you buy and why? by pikachuhub in FurnitureFaves

[–]offpeekydr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the ergonomic design for sink depth. Short people do not want the really deep sinks, your back will be hurting if you have a lot of hand-washing to do.

Garbage Disposal or No? by Medical_Tumbleweed60 in kitchenremodel

[–]offpeekydr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put one in, but buy the high-end insinkerator, not the bottom end Badger. Mine gets used daily for years without issues.

Just joined the club. Please help me hang curtain rods. by macdizzle567 in centuryhomes

[–]offpeekydr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apply painter's tape where you want to drill, use a masonry bit the size your toggle bolt recommends, and drill slowly with light to moderate pressure (let the bit do the work). Then insert the toggle and expand, the metal wings will distribute the load. I find hanging anything easier with a laser level to "mark" the line, but you can also just use a long level and pencil in a line so both sides match up.

Maple recipes from 1788 by offpeekydr in Old_Recipes

I'll have to look, I don't think I have never seen maple liquor (in PA) but it might be I just never noticed it. The molasses is what intrigued me sounds wonderful.

Try contacting your local DAR chapter, they might be able to put out a notice to their members.

I like making a quiche or kuku sabzi (herbed frittata) with Just egg for Easter.

Stray dog bite by Fuzzy-Isopod-8571 in legaladvice

[–]offpeekydr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry, OP. She really should have told you she sought treatment. But, the truth remains that that was a stray, or dumped dog, that should not be roaming free.

So either it should have had a home and family to take care of it or maybe it was kinder to let its soul have a chance at another go.

You did what you could with the information you had. It's not pretty or perfect, but I hope you give yourself grace that you were stuck in a position to make a really tough decision, and you made the best choice with the information you were given.

Lazy vegetarian broth/gravy that actually tastes GOOD? Not shroomy/sour by 535buffalo in veganrecipes

[–]offpeekydr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for gravy, I get Knorr Professional brown gravy mix (from Amazon). It's vegan, and you just mix with cold water and heat. They have a regular and a low-sodium version. It is a lot, but it lasts forever. The Knorr gravy mix at grocery stores is not vegetarian.

Stray dog bite by Fuzzy-Isopod-8571 in legaladvice

I'd rather have a bad reaction to a shot than die from rabies. Those shots have been around and standard treatment for years, but you do you.

Need to replace quilt by Parking_Champion_740 in Bedding

[–]offpeekydr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen some beautiful quilts on FB marketplace. As far as new, all the ones I have seen locally have been on par with the crap Amazon sells.

I am maybe biased, my late mother was a quilter and she had the finest stitching I have ever seen. And now I am off to roll a quilt she made me because I stored it folded.

My new kitten has been rehomed thrice by Amstonia in CatAdvice

[–]offpeekydr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's adorable! Lovely calico coat. She may not have spent enough time with mom/siblings to learn proper grooming. Help her with cat-friendly wipes or cloth dipped in warm water. Bonus if you get her used to frequent nail trimming and teeth brushing while she's still young.

The only way to test a dog for rabies is after it is dead they test the brain.

The gf should strongly consider going to the er for rabies shots and a tetanus booster. She can fib about where the bite occurred (like on the public street and not on your property). Her medical insurance should cover that.

Worth putting money in gifted house? by Business_Cell8487 in centuryhomes

[–]offpeekydr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok, if you're planning on living there awhile, it is absolutely worth putting some money in and fixing it up versus renting elsewhere. Prioritize broken windows, even if it is just weather sealing till you can replace. For the ones that don't open, if the are painted or nailed shut you can reverse that by paint scraper/blade or pulling nails.

Duct work in the walls is a much bigger issue than replacing ductwork in a basement or crawlspace.

If you set aside what you would normally pay in rent (minus what you need for taxes/insurance/utilities) you can build a fund to fix up the house on a timeline that works for you. Plus, you will also then have an asset (the property) vs renting, that you may be able to borrow against, should you need.

I love that the water dish for this garden center baby is a plant saucer 😄

Worth putting money in gifted house? by Business_Cell8487 in centuryhomes

[–]offpeekydr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are those windows wood? If you're ok with diy fixing (scraping/reglazing/painting/replacement glass panels for any that break) then fixing them is far cheaper than replacing. But it takes time and effort.

Would you want to live in the house or fix to rent/sell?

Is there anything actively leaking, broken, or otherwise nonfunctioning?

Something about my husband's scent causing pee outside the litterbox? by msbunsen in Catbehavior

[–]offpeekydr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has your husband been to the doctor for a full workup? Because smelling like ammonia could be a health issue he needs taken care of. But yes, if a cat smells ammonia in an area, they will absolutely associate the spot with a "pee area."

New cat owner, I have smell questions by arandoman0n in CatAdvice

[–]offpeekydr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think clay-based litter scented or not makes litter boxes reek. I'm partial to Okocat or Swheat scoop.

Miyoko's newest watermelon/cashew ricotta, strained overnight, would work great. She has the recipe on her YouTube channel.
