right, like I have a VERY solid wooden kitchen table from them, so yea some of it is solid, others of it is pretty junky indeed (if it's made of...

My experience with ikea furniture is that some of it is pretty solid and some of it is dreck. The stuff that has been dreck has been the stuff that...

One door I put in the basement because it kept falling off and then the basement got water it in and I had forgotten it was there. It got all ruined....

Congrats, TT! A job well-done!

Well, we have a piece of their drek and it's wearing fine, lol. Jeppy, if for some reason you decide to dial back on the kitchen cabinets, could...

Yes, their cabinetry is decent. Their hard pieces of furniture are mostly drek.

Kamala Harris has been assigned this crisis but is not visiting Central America for months even while she travels elsewhere. I guess when it comes to...

I've never been to Ikea, but I have heard that a lot of their stuff is pretty much disposable furniture. I've heard better things about their...

I know some of you like Ikea but I am reading the book Having and Being Had and just read a section about all the broken Ikea furniture the author...

sure. I might add that it took several days, but only a couple or few hours a day. It wasn’t a big ordeal.

Well done, TT. Enjoy a break from moving stuff.

I was thinking about this thread earlier and realized how it has come to be that even neighbors in separate houses can be irritating. The loud lawn...

So the junk master took the last of his stuff yesterday. My purging rein has come to a end. I have nothing that I don’t want. I am so tired that I...

IL, our dogs are the boss in our house also:)).

Milton couldn't have said it any better!

Thanks, Rogar. Maybe a project for next winter, but that's a good reminder to hold onto my old laptop with the CD drive a bit longer!

Five hundred is a lot! Most of my conversions were done last winter. I set a work area up on my dining table and copied onto my laptop hard drive...

DH did not see things that needed to be done. He asked that I make a list of chores because he really could not see what needed to be done. That...

Found this about "approval": https://www.10news.com/news/coronavirus/in-depth-how-full-fda-approval-would-impact-vaccine-mandates-competition

It was the first to market. Are you waiting for full approval rather than the current EAU?

Got rid of a bunch of stuff Saturday with a quick garage sale with a girlfriend. Most of what didn't sell I donated. Gave a hightop table and 4...

I think the birth control risk is straightforward when one factors in that woman (still) die in pregnancy and at higher rate than from birth control....

It's not the many/masses though who decided to pull the vaccine, it is a small group of policy makers. There are those of us who are reluctant to...

well to be truthful much of the whining about the dangers of vaccine is probably coming from men who have probably given 1 seconds thought to birth...

Indeed. Although the numbers for preventing serious illness are considerably better then even the already good numbers for preventing infection.

Perspective on the blood clot concern.

Boy though does our household ever cater to the immutable will of a dog, when it is identified as immutable. you should’ve seen us dancing around...

Sometime dive buddy has been unemployed since finishing an advanced degree, about six months ago. She is in a very conservative field. Her parents...

It’s interesting how poorly so many of us assess risk. There is a much greater probability of blood clots for users of birth control pills or any...

Pfizer = 95% effectiveness Moderna = 86% effectiveness J&J = 72% effectiveness No one should be surprised by a lack of 100% effectiveness in any...

A customer at work was saying today his mother got the vaccine and afterwards tested positive for covid, so why should he get a vaccine? Two...

Funny! I feel the same way these days and the little dog does not get veto power, not often anyway. ;)

True. Although one will need several decimal places. I’ll take 99.999999% or whatever the actual number is.

I found more kitchen items in a bottom cabinet and asked him if he wanted them. While choosing some he proceeds to tell me that I don’t value...

And here I was just thinking boy I really need to sit down with my electronic contacts file and add tons of stuff to it. I still keep the...

I am laughing here. It’s a little bit sad but mostly not sad!

Not seeing is a wonderful genetic gift!

But it isnt going ro be 100% effective.

Seriously bad reactions to a rushed vaccine? Hyped by the media? I am shocked! Shocked I tell you. (Not) If they were going to stick the J and...

That's right. It's an insanely low risk. However, I read in the NJ online paper that I still get that a man got the J&J vaccine on March 12, was...

DW is much like SQ's DH (enough initials there? ;) ). I am fully convinced that, even if DW sees the mess, her brain spends zero cycles on...

Six cases claimed out of seven million doses administered. I doubt whether the trip to the clinic was less risky.

I’ve always thought meetings were a hard way to arrive at decisions, but an excellent way to protect oneself from accountability and disperse blame...

Got my 2nd Moderna shot yesterday around noon and by the end of my shift (midnight) the side effects hit - couldn't lift my shot arm, achy all over...

I am now retired from decluttering as there’s nothing left that I don’t want. My clutter problem is permanently solved since I decluttered by...

Good progress, folks!

It might eventually get on his radar...47 years of marriage...many things came onto the radar at about 10 years...I am sure there are things he would...

I have now canceled two J & J shots (last one at Costco) after the news of adverse reactions at mass clinics gave me cold feet. I read today that...

Bravo Terry and EJ!

You seem to be moving along quite nicely, accomodating but also MOVING ON! Good for you. I've found choosing my areas that I can do without anyone...

My DH and I just don't have the same standards when it comes to cleaning up in the kitchen. He literally has a mental block about cleaning out the...

When I took classes around the turn of the century, the fad was group projects. Most of us absolutely hated them--I certainly don't want to live in...

I guess it is good I did not get a vaccine yet. I would have gone for the J&J to avoid two trips and now it has been halted because it causes blood...

yes! Haha, and this is the problem. I think of people who gravitate toward these living situations as those people who like meetings and drag them...

Oh, I see. Yeah, I wonder how many "major decisions" need to be made. If it's one a year, like "should we expand our vegetable garden to include...

Sounds like life there would be one long committee meeting.

Jeppy: The site says it is for mass vaccination and regional collaborative locations, but they gave my friend an appointment at a site that was not...

Today the Consumer Price Index was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CPI-W (all items) is up 3% since March one year ago.
