  1. We just redid our bedroom. I went mid-century mod with Flexsteel Ludwig dresser and night tables: https://www.homemakers.com/shop/bedroom/dressers/flexsteel-ludwig-dresser/571091.html Because I can't attach a normal headboard to my bed, we had to get more creative: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08B8SGBML/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 We had really big furniture in our room and it made our very big bedroom feel cramped. We paired flax colored linen curtains with gauzy white and a toile bedspread. Painted the previously blue room neutral. The only thing I don't love is my area rug but oh well. The entire room feels very light and open, breezy. I think to have everything match feels heavier, somehow?
  2. I think I've mentioned before that we are finishing all house projects in case we decide to sell. So much has been done and upgraded and we are now almost to trim. The windows are the best part of the house and the heavier trim of craftsman would be attractive but do you do when the house resists? For example, two doorways are side by side. There is not space for two boards 4"+ thick. Coat closet door is too close to the corner. Do I give up and just do traditional or is there a non-akward way to do this?
  3. Magtein’s L-threonate after a lot of research.
  4. DD19 is leaving for a semester in South Korea in February! We're excited for her (she'll be there when the cherry blossoms bloom) but would like to know as much as possible! She has her passport and will apply for her visa after the 1st of the year, She is our first to participate in a study abroad experience.
  5. Tucker turns 2 on Christmas Day. Saga is, best estimate, 2.5. Being a mix of larger breeds, she has a lot of silly goofy puppy in her. Thankfully she loves outside time when it’s cold so keeping them apart or heavily supervised is easy now but it is obviously easier if they could be together.
  6. So sorry for leaving you all hanging! DH called Monday morning and they slid him in in the afternoon. I was so grateful. They were getting dogs from vehicles and not allowing anyone in the waiting area; I presume due to the virus. Negative for parvovirus! He has two types of worms and the vet says he’s a bit underweight. He was supposedly a mini aussie but he’s definitely not full. We think he is likely aussie and papillon. He’s a very delicate twelve pounds!!!!! We are NOT small dog people, or so we thought! He was not a house dog but he has the best manners. He’s not fearful but he is reserved. He loves DH best right now but is adored by our 9 & 10 year old. Our only concern is that we’ve been introducing Saga and Tucker and Saga is wholly unaware of their size difference. She plays rough and she is an incredibly fit and muscular 70 lbs. They are thrilled to meet and sniff but Saga gets so excited. She is the same with my daughter’s corgi but he’s a very sturdy 30-35 pounds and he loves tussling with her. Any experience with this?
  7. I’m sorry for all affected. I’ll never understand how something so small as not being chosen for a job can trigger such rage as to react like this. It’s on our local news that he previously taught at our smallest state school where one of my daughters currently attends.
  8. Through a FB page devoted to a specific breed lovers of our state, I found a gal rehoming a few dogs - a 3yo female, 2yo male, and a young half/mixed pup. I assumed backyard breeder, but this was not a pup so I felt I’m not contributing to a puppy problem. DH drove three hours south to get what is possibly the world’s most adorable dog. He is so sweet, but on the way back? Repeated bouts of diarrhea, some of it appeared bloody. We’re keeping him away from Saga and we’re calling the very first thing in the AM to get him checked out. It could be fairly benign, right? I’m worried about parvovirus. He’s eating fine, perky, interested in people and environment.
  9. My 2020 Sienna has Bluetooth, an aux cord outlet, and a CD player. I’d ask.
  10. It never occurred to me until you asked. We moved to the family farm when I was 14. My parents tore down my grandparents' farm house and built a modern home. I never lived in it so it's never been 'our' home. It was neat to look back at the house I grew up in 0-14. We planted so many trees that are now 30+ years old! I have many wonderful memories of that house and it's so nice to see they not only kept the old barns but improved them. They must have worked on the house a lot too because it sold in 2015 for significantly more than I'd have guessed.
  11. Kitchen flooding qualifies as major in my book. I have a weird annoyance. I had all the amalgam removed from the right side of my mouth yesterday and replaced with a composite. There is a hair about 3" long caught in it. I'm going to lose my mind..........
  12. This happened to us on Thanksgiving! We found a used one on FB Marketplace that a fella let us pick up!
  13. And by close enough, anywhere under an hour is worth it. I like it because it makes organic affordable for us. Kevin's (gf meal in a box) alone probably saves us our membership. The REAL question is regular membership or executive. The executive membership is $120 but you get a percentage back. We buy *everything* from Costco. Fridge? Costco. Clothes? Costco. Pet stuff? Costco. Eyeglasses? Costco. Basement flooring? Costco. Furniture? Costco. You get the idea. My check back from Costco was almost $800 this year but we're finishing the house and all that is on it. But it is generally $250-$300, easily covering the executive membership.
