I moved from overseas in mid-2021. I had to buy all new furniture. Manufacturers had a lead time of 6 months to a year, so I bought somewhat frantically in the one week I was visiting my new location. I have a very nice leather sofa and a very nice mattress which ended up being not what I...

I broke my upper humerus in 2 places 7 years ago. I didn't have surgery. I did have lots of PT. Around the 3 month mark, I had to start hand PT because I couldn't pinch or grasp any more because I hadn't been able to seriously use it for so long. I asked my ortho doctor when it would stop...

Of course it had to be in the Twin Cities. Twenty years ago, my children and I were at a Ringling Bros. circus performance at the Xcel Center in St Paul when a woman who was doing a silk performance a la Cirque de Soleil fell about 40 feet to concrete. She died immediately, but the announcement...

Stainless. I find black appliances depressing. I need light.

The Etsy scarf looks old-lady-ish. I'd definitely go with the Macy's scarf.

If you are getting a refrigerator that has a filter, check on where the filter sits. My current 2 year old GE side by side fridge has it all the way at the back, at the top. I cannot reach it and have to depend on my sons to change it when they visit. The switch for the icemaker is also...

I totally agree with you. I read this thread a few days ago. Based on the title, it gave me flashbacks to when my spouse was diagnosed with incurable cancer one July. He passed a few short months later. I was a teacher and summers have never been the same since. I came back to the thread to see...

My house is pending. It took about 40 days, a price reduction and some landscaping to get an offer. In my current area, the average DOM is about 80. Two years ago when I bought, DOM was about 6. Ask your realtor what the current days on market is for your area. There are 3 houses near me that...

They might have a problem with Celebrity Cruises which has been using the logo "X" for decades.

I did this for my current home. It was a brand new build, 5000 miles away from where I was living. I had studied the available floor plans prior. My agent did a facetime walk through of the property with me. No regrets.

The burger place is not getting a subsidy from another corporation or government entity based on the number of fries consumed though. American is likely getting a subsidy from the Charlotte airport authority or local government based on how many people fly in to Charlotte and how many people fly...

It applies up until they turn 18. My son flies frequently alone. He attended boarding school for high school. He had never been able to checkin with Delta online or at the kiosk. He always had to go to the ticket counter to checkin. Since Delta and JetBlue were the only 2 airlines with direct...

Some airlines don't allow minors who are flying alone to checkin without seeing a ticket agent. I know Delta doesn't.

I like DUCKFAN or THEDUCK. I like THEDUCK best.

My sons have worn Van's for years, as teenagers and young adults. They'll last on average about 6 months, with a lot of walking. Some of the styles come in leather.

I'm on my second RAV4 hybrid. There was nothing wrong with the first one, I just moved overseas and transport would have cost $$$. There are online RAV4 forums that discuss the gas vs hybrid issue frequently. My real world mpg on my current model RAV4 is 45 mpg. That's with perhaps 25-50%...

A change from 216 mg/dl to 33.3 mg/dl is a decrease. Both are extremely high. As mentioned, normal range is about 0.7-1.20 mg/dl. Are you sure you have the numbers and units correct?

I have 2 full beds in one guest room and a full bed with a trundle in a smaller guest room.

Sydney Agudong looks very much like a Hawaiian local, which she is. The picture in the OP looks very different than what is on imdb. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5867620/ There is almost no one who is full blooded Hawaiian any more.

Some places will have much higher property taxes if the property is not occupied by the owners. I used to rent out a couple of my properties. It was a PITA. I am so glad that I'm not a landlord any more. My mother used to rent out her basement apartment. As one tenant was moving out, they...
