Rosa, people usually save the mirrors and then hang it somewhere or sell it.

I'm right there with you. This week I have dropped an astonishing number of things, the worst being a full jug of water I was using to water the...

Yes. When I had the floor redone in that room my original plan was to rip up the old flooring myself but all I did was remove the carpeting and I...

Pesto pasta with chicken sausage and green beans. All but the pasta was in the freezer 5h ago.

Or how about pointing in a straight line! LOL!

I am NOT ok with Oregonians coming across the river to my WA city and taking hard-sought and rare vaccine appointments. They sure as hell don't want...

They started checking IDs for our second shot. Only Indiana residents. First shot they did not care. Amazing how strange the distribution is and...

Snow peas sauteed with vegetable sauce and shredded cheese.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say.......you can breath in and still make the music. Whenever I hear people play the harmonica, it makes me want...

My fingers are bent. It's amazing what you can't do, when they're just a little bent. Picking up something like a needle or a toothpick is almost...

I had it when I was severely anemic. Went away when that was corrected.

So far, I haven't met a jar I couldn't open, but I'm sure I have diminished hand strength.

I made lentil-vegetable soup last week and I was eating it for days. I finally gave up...:~)

Yes, thank goodness I have someone else in the house who can open jars. Sometimes it momentarily astonishes me to look down and see my mom's hands...

I find the best solution for me is to lift light weights. If I do not do this I have pain as well as weakness. Worth a try.

I think the mirrors are the nicest feature and it would be a shame to lose them. I've used Annie Sloan and Dixie Belle chalk paints and they were...

Totally amazing! Thanks for posting! I googled some stuff and harmonica notes are created by both breathing in and breathing out, although I...

More tacos as there were enough leftovers.

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...
