The last time I house/dogsat for my friends I woke up to dog puke and diarrhea all over the stairs first story of the home.

I could have used a poop contemplating burning the house down emoji for that text.

I rent a room from a family with three little kids and make cakes a lot - someone is ALWAYS trying to help.

Sorry, no way kid, nobody wants your dysentery. GTFO.

I remain skeptical on the chocolate chip cookie thing - I’ve eaten raw batter/dough my entire life (and I bake stuff a lot) and I’ve gotten sick once :) Go on, enjoy your cookie dough and candles!

Also a graphic designer, and yes. I will only do wedding work for close friends (because I can tell them to eff off if they’re ridiculous).

Yup, it’s way fun :)

I make stained glass - I approve!

When I was a teller cash deposits would post to the account immediately. Checks would have $100 available immediately, and then the remainder available the next business day (unless there was a hold of course).

Congrats! I just sold my condo that I lived in for ten years and am renting a room and saving like a banshee so that I can get into a real house. Getting your dream house must be the best thing ever!

Agreed. A friend of mine is an ICU nurse and was recently telling me about having to be the voice of reason to a daughter who was in denial that her mom’s stroke was unrecoverable. For three weeks mom was on tubes and wires and intubated and just about braindead. That is not a meaningful existence. If it were me…

Isn’t that just the coolest? Airplanes are neat.

This is also how I justify having someone else detail my car. I could either take an entire Saturday and a lot of labor to do it or someone can come to my office for two hours on a Friday and I actually get a weekend.

I love IKEA too! I just hate the river of people.

Yeah, the fixing up was because it had been a rental for who knows how long and was desperately in need of updates. There was pretty much nothing left untouched in the end. Fortunately I love doing that sort of thing so it worked out well, and I’m keeping my eye out for a house that is in need of similar love for my…

It was pretty much a buy low(ish), sell high situation. I bought it in 2007 as the market was heading down so it was a good deal, but other units sold for significantly less in the years that followed. In retrospect I should have waited to buy, but that wasn’t an option. However, I was there for 10 years fixing it…

Agreed. I recently sold my condo and ended up with a nice profit that needs to be kept safe, and added to, until I buy again. But, I also need my “everyday savings” and want to buy a new car in 2019. So, I topped up my regular savings with sale money and put the rest into a new “high interest rate” (lol) savings…

Looking at you, GSA.

if I see one more fucking park bench project, I’m gonna puke

Boxes to hide in, things to chase, things to scratch; anything that taps into her kitty powers.

I would need therapy if someone did that to my cast iron.
