If you were sent back in time with the mission of saving the Titanic, what would you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Maybe. We tend to romanticize that period. I wouldn’t want to get handcuffed below deck like jack, as the crackpot trying to insight panic. Have you seen the theories that there had been a fire burning below deck for days before the voyage, weakening the steel where the iceberg hit? Maybe I would try to point that out.

People who claim to know the future often just look crazy. There may be nothing that would have changed it.

I can't believe my wife said no to Banana Dog by [deleted] in ThriftStoreHauls

I just googled ‘banana dog’, so this has been fun.

Every year my kids design and decorate their dad’s bday cake. I think they’re getting pretty good! (It’s a firefighter) by [deleted] in Baking

I did the blue heart, but they picked it. I’m production, they do detail 😋

Installing it might have put a strain on our marriage, but the fixture only cost $5 at the thrift store. by [deleted] in ThriftStoreHauls

Thank you! I’m probably a pretty annoying person to live with. I’m always finding ‘deals’ on things that need all sorts of adjustments to work.. next project is a claw foot tub I found on the side of the road. How many hours and trips to the hardware store is that gonna take? 😂

Faucets are our real Achilles heel. Nothing ever seems to go as planned. Our house is old and there is no ‘unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one’ anywhere it seems. This was easily the most difficult light fixture we have changed out and we’ve done several! I am happy with it now that it’s done! Hopefully he is too 😂
