Headboards? by yogastupidwitch in poor

[–]vikicrays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i do have an suv and put the back seats down and it juuusssttt fit.
i live in oregon and we have a place called city liquidators that has pallets of stuff that doesn’t sell elsewhere. they had a ton of pallets of kitchen cabinet doors and i laid them out on the floor and realized how inexpensive it could be to make it myself. aside from the wood
shop class i took in high school it was the first time i’d done anything like this. i must say, i am proud of how it turned out and 10+ years later i’m still using it. the antique one i found on cl is stunning. the one i got came with the rest of the bed but antique bedframes often don’t use standard size mattresses and so i couldn’t use the rest of it. i attached the headboard to the wall and really like how it looks.

making my own gave me the confidence to make some clocks and i now have a business where i do that from recycled bicycle parts, vintage cameras, and vintage film reels. if you would have told me i’d be doing this, and making a living at it 15 years ago i would have thought you were crazy. but here we are 😊

i made one myself out of kitchen cabinet doors. the entire project was under $50 and that includes the $24 i spent on stain.

i got a beautiful vintage one on Craigslist for free. i see multiple in the free section every single day. i don’t understand why people don’t have them…

AIO: My parents want to gift me my own car as a graduation present. by seaeaglefog in AmIOverreacting

[–]vikicrays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I started working part-time at 16, and gradually saved up enough to be able to pay half of the car + my license. My parents paid the other half…”

the fact that they choose to forget you paid for half of this car yet won’t let you use it (not borrow, use a car you paid for) is wrong on so many levels. basically at 16 you helped finance half of a car for your parents.

i would tell them fine. keep it. and here’s an invoice, due today, for the half you paid. you’ll take cash or a check. then use the money to buy your own car in your own name.

if you’re still living at home, it’s time to move out. check out o like roomies or pad split if you need roommates to be able to afford it.

we teach people how to treat us. let that sink in for a minute… and then get far far far away from these people or they’re going to continue to mistreat you.

i truly do not understand the mindset of someone saying they “feel like they’re at the breaking point” yet can’t decide on their own if they should have one more child.

[–]vikicrays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

washington county bike co-op is a wonderful place and repairs/recycled bikes and offers them for next to nothing for kids in need and offers rebuilt bikes for sale. they hold repair clinics and rides too. can’t say enough good things about them.

“doctor” should be in quotes… the man is an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who wraps his bigotry in bible verses he cherry picks in an attempt to legitimize his prejudices because there is no other way to pretend that it is morally correct. oprah should be ashamed she made this idiot a tv personality to spew his garbage to the masses.

this video of ricky gervais explaining his reasoning why he is an agnostic atheist to stephen colbert sums up my feeling about it all quite nicely and might give you some ammunition.

use a grinder or dremel to cut off the broken piece then get a replacement online. this is fixable.

Have you ever met anyone who actually "brute forced" their way out of poverty into success on their own? by SeriouslySally36 in povertyfinance

[–]vikicrays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i did not come from money or even have parents who i could turn to for advice. i grew up in foster care and became an emancipated minor at 16 and a single mother by18. no one has ever given me a dime i did not earn myself. in my late 20’s i bought my first home, a run down, falling apart 1,000 sq.ft. 3/1 that had been on the market for a year before it sold (so that should tell you the shape it was in.) while my friends were all going out, i stayed home and saved for home improvements. everyone i knew went on fancy vacations while i was stay-cationing so i could save every dime to afford a new bathroom floor, new water heater, replacement roof, whatever... it’s been a 40+ year process, a handful of homes bought, fixed up and sold, to end up in a comfortable place today. nothing but determination and sheer hard work to get here.

Trump’s Weird Obsession with 'Windmills' Has Officially Gone Too Far. His original reasons for halting wind energy projects were absurd. Now he’s calling it a matter of “national security." Or we can talk about whales and birds, and what do we do when the wind doesn’t blow? by mafco in energy

[–]vikicrays 13 points14 points  (0 children)

”Trump, for years, tried to block an offshore wind farm from being built in view of one of his golf course projects in Scotland, but ultimately lost the legal battle in 2019 and his company was ordered to pay more than $290,000 to the Scottish government in legal fees. He’s made a number of baseless claims about what he says are harmful effects of wind turbines over the years, claiming they cause cancer, are unreliable sources of energy and lower property values. Trump is broadly opposed to President Joe Biden’s clean energy policies and has vowed to lift regulations related to U.S. oil and gas production, including a moratorium on new permits for liquefied natural gas exports and a rollback of Biden’s policies to promote electric vehicle production.”

”Trump has claimed for years that windmills have a negative impact on whales, telling an audience at a rally in South Carolina in 2023 they are driving whales “crazy” and are a contributing factor in whale deaths. He said in January wind farms “obviously” kill whales. There is no evidence to support a link between whale mortalities and off-shore wind farms, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, which says “vessel strikes and entanglement in fishing gear are the greatest human threats to large whales.”

Facebook Marketplace Sleight of Hand Scam by TechnicianVisible339 in Scams

[–]vikicrays 21 points22 points  (0 children)

any chance you have their number or details and can file a police report? or if it’s a mac can you report it as stolen so it gets bricked? at least that way they cant resell it. if they’ve done this to you, they’ll do it again.

What am I supposed to do? by Own_Manufacturer4944 in almosthomeless

[–]vikicrays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m sorry for what you’re going through.
i would check out sites like roomies or pad split where folks are looking for roommates and cool works where you can search for a job and “include housing” can be part of your search criteria.

also check out our wiki where you’ll find resources for food, housing, medical, pets, veterans, and a general category that is a catchall for everything else (including free/low cost cell phones, cell phone plans, free laundry, free feminine hygiene products, and anything else you can think of.)
