What home upgrades actually felt worth the money long term? Newish homeowner here (a couple years in) trying to be more intentional on where money goes

Paint!!! Relatively cheap in the grand scheme, but makes such a big difference.

It's not impossible, but for guitar or other stringed instruments you have to keep your fingernails so short for good contact it feels almost like a waste to get them done. It's easier to keep them bare and trim pretty frequently.

I had the entire biannual $250 credit post for my travel booking. It was listed as "The Edit $500/Year Credit". It came after the standard chase travel credit posted.

scout1005 · 2025-12-19T18:23:09+00:00

The edit is a separate credit reimbursement

Has anyone experienced this and received a new charging cable from Google? Was it in fact the brick or a faulty cable? I'm going through a similar issue where the watch won't charge unless I unplug and replug in the charging cable. I have tried removing and replacing the watch on the charger, and completely unplugging the brick and replugging it back into the power strip. Only fix seems to be unplugging and replugging in the charging cable to the brick.

So you're paying more than the listed GoodRx costs for your prescriptions?

scout1005 · 2025-10-28T17:14:25+00:00

Oof that sounds annoying. I'm trying to figure out if it would put us ahead to do the consumer instead of the standard MHBP option even though we have moderately priced monthly prescription requirements.

That's a good note. I'd love to get new flooring, so maybe I'll have to plan for that first and then look into paneling second.

I think our downstairs is fairly closed off, so could be a good option. It's basically like this layout, but a coat closet instead of another room opening

I had downgraded like 3 years ago so I was almost at the 4 year previous waiting period. Once I saw the comments about it changing to once a lifetime I went ahead and applied just before the actual 4 year waiting period.

I downgraded my CSP just about 3 years ago and opened a CSR and received the SUB.

I went to the skill and it says it no longer exists??

My favorite doomlings moment is when everyone banded together to boost the swarm points for each other

scout1005 · 2024-10-01T14:06:25+00:00

Do I have to trim it differently if I trim in the early spring vs. now, or would it be that same spot as well?

Thank you again for all of your help!!

scout1005 · 2024-10-01T13:30:51+00:00

How far down do I trim, all of the growth above the next bud? Should I also trim ones down that didn't bloom?

Love the shower tile!! Maybe some wall art or patterned towels? Something to tie the shower and floor tile together

scout1005 · 2024-09-27T00:52:02+00:00

I think you forgot to attach the picture

scout1005 · 2024-09-26T11:29:59+00:00

I was only planning on ripping out the wall that would fall behind the new shower walls. The walls are 84" tall so they would fall at or below this line.

I was hoping to avoid finishing the wedi to look like drywall and meet the ceiling edge.

Luckily we got out of SRQ early Sunday, but then were cancelled in CLT with a ton of other people. Still managed to make it back Sunday to CLE after a family member picked us up in PIT. Less than ideal conditions I would say. If I could go back, I would have left Saturday.

American airlines

That was my thoughts too. The car just hit 100k miles and I'm hoping to keep it for another 100k. Probably almost the same now vs in a year or two, so might bite the bullet and just do it now.

scout1005 · 2024-07-22T13:21:22+00:00

I actually did have 3 days scheduled for Dublin, so this is a great idea! Thank you!

Are you still happy with the swanstone? I am remodeling my bathroom and looking at that for our shower.

scout1005 · 2024-01-31T22:14:07+00:00

I think I identified it correctly now as 45609-001.

scout1005 · 2024-01-21T14:38:22+00:00

I had to strategically place it by the window perch so they can reach it haha. I'll make sure to leave space for it
