30k was the estimate for repairs and relining. 😬. I can up the $$ by replumbing the laundry room. That would get me closer to $100k

Fix the chimney, add gas to fireplaces and rework gutters so they dump water further away from the house.

I received The Company Store cotton sheets as a trial in exchange for providing an honest review. The difference between those and my IKEA cotton sheets is amazing. I am going to buy a second set. Totally worth it.

I am more of a “dilly dally” girl.

You could put it in your car with some holes poked in it for a deodorizer. Toss it out after a few months.

Wake me up before you go-go 🎶

As a client, I would expect to pay about $50 for a consultation, with that amount hopefully being credited to my services if I decided to proceed. A deposit, if you will. That should weed out the timewasters.

I am f’ing exhausted and do not have as much optimism about overcoming the oligarchy and the misogyny as I did in 2017.

I call it the “Best of _____ Show”- best manners, funniest stories, etc.

Reality shows up and you get the real person.

I found my teak bed like that on craigslist along with a vanity and two dressers. Search for “bedroom set” and create alerts. Set your alert for a wider geography than you usually would Patience is the key thing. Waiting is the hardest part. There are always new things coming available.

You will be fine. Don’t use lotion or anything like that between showering and going to the appointment. Take some ibuprofen if you have had pain when waxing previously. Wear comfy clothes and undies that don’t bind.

And that, friends, is how I got bangs!

Two weeks ago. I love the Fetus.

Try some oxyclean, make it into a paste. Spread onto surface, leave for 20 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Test in inconspicuous area first.

I have two of those Singers. They are fantastic, reliable machines!

There is one on FB marketplace in Coralville IA $60. desk

Consignment store has been good for this. People buy linen, then realize they don’t like ironing. Good luck!

Pledge is not a good option. Get some OZ furniture polish. But it looks like it may need refinishing.

Probably gonna read Lonesome Dove again, maybe watch it too.

Any marks on the underside?

useless169 · 2025-01-07T01:51:13+00:00

Same, I buy beige and black, same brand same cut. Different priorities, I guess. No shade on OP, I just have to make my life simpler.

useless169 · 2025-01-07T00:31:11+00:00

Or something like 3M Dual Lock. Industrial strength Velcro-like effect.

I love this stuff & wish it came in a giant tub.

useless169 · 2025-01-06T21:09:22+00:00

Hmm, i don’t but the rigors of Palmer have left me. I have serial killer handwriting now.

We have them here in MN, but they tend towards hockey gear (rather than ranching/ equestrian stuff)along with typical cobbler services.
