    Office and gaming chairs

    I have given up on finding a new chair as comfortable as the one I have had for almost a dozen years now. It was a Sealy "big and tall" office chair I bought at Sam's. Actual memory foam and spring coils in the cushion hoisting my luxurious ass. It got to the point that when the fine...

    Household Major Appliances

    I have a Midea in my detached garage (400 sq ft) and it does in fact rule. Coming up on a quandary of my own. Our range (A Samsung which is around 10 years old, and I'm learning to agree with a lot of people who don't have high opinions of Samsung appliances) is having an issue with the oven...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Be me... Have a storm destroy a chunk of your house in February. File insurance claim. They pay out the first 1/3 of it, and say they won't pay the rest until the repairs are done. (fine...) Put your own money with the pay out and rebuild the room better than it was before (it's over in the...

    Yeah, the chain link fence (which I need to repair some of) divides the back yard from the driveway which goes to the detached garage as to contain and control the pack of wild hounds in the back yard.

    It's tall enough, and the framer put in the two fan mounts (look at the middle of the celling with the can lights on either side). It will be one of those touches I haven't done yet. But it's not super tall, so it will need to be a low profile fan. And yeah @lurkingdirk , effectively added...

    You have summoned the incorrect member of the council. But I will stand by @Hoss , you're all essentially interchangeable with the variance being in the particular angles of bad your teeth are.

    Barbie (2023)

    I think at this point you have to give due credit to Greta Gertzwig or whatever her name is. Instead of trying to make a movie so devoid of "the message" as to try to appeal to all audiences, she has realized that the audiences are polarized to the point now that being neutral will not really...

    So my worry of the day.... My company moved our earnings announcement forward, but is also extending it to 2 hours of analyst call time. This right after a competitor announced earnings and tanked so badly they had to downward revise guidance for the entire next year, so the market is...

    Mom died in birthing. These were the only two pups that survived. We were going to just take one, the family who was lined up for Sugar (the one in the pic) backed out and my wife had the "but they only have each other!" bit.. so we ended up with both. They're almost 6 years old now and have...

    I'm at a point soon of realizing a certain degree of a windfall, but not like yours. I'm planning on mine getting me land away from town to build my "retiring here and dying" home/bunker/compound on. Then Chez Haus here becomes a rental to feed income into that.

    Well.. if it's got the legs people seem to think it has this movie should move to number 11 for the year this weekend (assuming a 40% WoW drop), could crack into the top 10 for the year this weekend if it slightly outperforms, but should definitely crack into the top 10 before theaters stop...

    As for doing something good with it. If you don't already own a home, I'd consider that depending on what the cash will get you around where you live. The price/value growth of my home has turned it into the most consistent investment I have honestly. heh And you will need somewhere to live...

    Only interested honestly in Booster if there's a legit Ted Kord Beetle to pair with him.... And with Fillion being cast as Guy Gardner (which I am 110% behind) that means my dream casting for Kord would have to change, but it's workable. She's not even in the league, hell not even in the same...

    This is what I have always traditionally thought, and yes I don't like the idea. Especially since when it comes down to it I'm an earth tone person now a gray person. But at this point we've had enough other house expenses that this interior paint and renovation will be January at the earliest.
