Activity Stream

I meant to show this earlier and forgot. I got this last year. It mounts under the cabinet. It works great, but sometimes it does leave some small...

The random nature of these appointments is maddening. A few minutes ago I read on Nextdoor that a local hospital is giving Covid shots to those...

I’ve had carpal tunnel/repetitive stress injury for years due to typing a ton from a young age. I don’t have a ton of hand strength. I find mugs with...

It was fun to listen to that song, then look up the rest of the lyrics and some info about the inchworm. It is a very hardworking inchworm working...

Yeah, they were in Santa Fe, so it made a whole lot more sense for them.

My wife got hers through her school. I thought I'd secured an appointment two days ago when I discovered that a local provider had 35 open...

Reading over this thread made me think of this wonderful Mary Hopkin song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atwolul-lhI

I'm knitting again but they feel so stiff and clumsy. Same with playing my viola. But I'll keep at it,

My mom had a lot of arthritis and she said that the best thing to do is to keep using your hands with exercises and activities that involve handwork....

Me too, Alan, we're unable to get them here even though we are eligible. you can also drive to amarillo texas and get them there--my brother and...

I have a lot of hand pain and my index finger is now bent and distorted with nodules so assumed it was arthritis. I was diagnosed with carpal...

My wife got her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine about half an hour ago. I'm still trying to secure an appointment somewhere, anywhere.

I would think this sort of thing would be easier to pull off in fields of study with high pre-existing levels of nonsensicality. That may also be why...

We definitely lose strength/grip as we age if we don't work at it. You may not necessarily have arthritis. You can improve strength using a...

I've had it a few times while drifting off to sleep, but not for years now.

That sounds awful.

I had my first Moderna shot a little less than an hour ago. I feel gratitude that my turn came, and I appreciate the friendly and efficient people...

I loved being the Director of my department at "the big house". But when I got handed a new job title and 13 departments? Not so much even though I...

Catherine, she likes Country Chic paint and I think it’s chalk paint. I am going to meet with my friend today to look at colors that also go with the...

I have not had it and it sounds awful. Do you think hypnosis might help?

Hmmm....I guess around that time we need to worry about asbestos? Ours was built around 1974?

I know it's not exactly the same thing, but this made me think of the old Peter Principle. Another thanks for the ratio'ed explanation - I had no...

That can't be said enough.

I guess I lack ambition, as i was approached several times about management within Megacorp, but I never considered it for a minute. With a shift...

I have horrible arthritis in my hands and especially my fingers. Sometimes I need to use both hands to lift a full glass. Also, I had to stop using...

I am curious about this too. Some of my drywall ceilings have hairline cracks. Of more concern is an acoustic tile ceiling that is sagging in one...

This is more to your ceiling problems. I only have 1 crack in a ceiling that goes across the opening from the bedroom to a small hallway. Just...

reminds me of the time that a company used the song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in an advertising campaign. It was particularly memorable...

I agree with rosa. I think grey would be really nice. IL suggested lacquer, which I could see, but also, have you considered chalk paint? I have an...

This isn't really frugal because I already spent the money, but I am finding things I forgot I bought during covid stockups. For instance, today...

I think the dresser would look nice in shades of gray.

I love duvet covers but I have messy dogs that hop up on the bed, so I am used to covering things in self defense.

Rosa, I looked up the mattress company and if we weren't totally broke right now and we knew we were staying in this house, I would definitely buy...

Tradd, I think from researching yesterday that it is a 3/4. I agree that a double mattress is the one I will try. I want to try to get a totally...

Thanks!

My son was telling me about this a week ago.

Thanks for the ideas both of you. Will discuss with my friend. I loved the finish of the dresser 24 years ago but now not so much. I bought the...

The current finish of your dresser isn’t one that I would like, so painting it would only be better in my book. I rather like the trifold mirror.Hi...

Haha,I’m sure these college professors werent the only ones to do it. They were a little different from the occasional prank though because they were...

@rosarugosa said:2-20-21 3:23pm Catherine: I agree on the duvet & cover. I had those some years back and I thought it was way more trouble than it...

I confess to knowing nothing about the time a Markov-chain-generated literary criticism theory article was accepted and published...

This is exciting and fun as I love pink and grey and think that it would look lovely, - pretty dresser! Possession on March 8th sounds good with...

Tybee, what size is the bed? FYI...if it’s a 3/4 bed, a full size mattress will probably fit. I was given an antique spindle bed about 15 years ago...

Sounds great!

The wall behind my bed is going to be a light pink. The other walls cream. We were thinking a combination of gray and pink. My sheets are pink and...

Good news! What colors do you have in mind for the furniture?

So for awhile it looked iffy if my ex husband was going to get a high enough loan to buy me out. It’s been 6 weeks of ups and downs by his...

Does not compute!

Thanks, rosa. Want to give credit where credit is due. My friend doesn't strike me as as Ramsey acolyte, but when the man's right, he's right.

@Tybee, it means a post that has has more replies to it than likes; generally indicating disagreement/contention among the participants in the...

I may have mentioned this here though I did it several years ago; I found a bunch of ribbons (like county fair ribbons) awarding people for surviving...

That happens a lot on the technical track at companies that aren't purely technical (that is, when IT, pure engineering, or research is not how the...

That’s funny Rosa!

Many people go into helping professions because they love helping people and then get promoted into management positions that they end up hating. ...

Well Alan if you're Hitlerian and I'm a Russian troll we still need to find out who is the pawn of China, since bashing that country is popular now....

Yes, there's a pattern of "I have the answer" that is so very familiar. And the arguing style.

More walks less meeting is funny! I used to volunteer to take minutes at meetings at work because that forced me to keep my mind from wandering....
