You need to make sure you only pass the cardboard air freshener tree through the rubbing alcohol - never let it rest in it.

FWIW - she passed on 3.6.17

And to be honest, sometimes that just makes more people talk to you.

Good for you both. If one couple, or just one person from a couple, does that, then it wasn’t in vain. And the hardest thing for both of us wasn’t that she’s dying. It was that she went through the physical part of this without me, and I went through the hassles of final paperwork, nurse call bells, and personal care…

I read this article while my wife is in the next room, on hospice care at home. She went for a PAP smear just over a year ago, which came back abnormal - as hers always did. But this time the call about her culposcopy results took longer. So now, after radical hysterectomy and two kinds of chemo, we’re thinking that…

You can go on theforklift.net (forgive me for any deal-finding addiction I’ve just led you towards) and find them cheap, usually $4 or less. For something that folds down the roughly the size of a composition book, it’s pretty handy to give you a little help against inattentive drivers (or wild Mustangs).

I submit for your consideration...

There’s lot of great hard rock/metal car songs.

In a personal note, I can tell you those doors are heavy, especially when hinges are failing and the door falls on your foot.

I used to have 7 big dogs.That industrial look is popular, I hear.

Recently, with winter weather, many local places have added Fireball to sangria drinks, with fair results. It’s not mulled wine, it’s not usually something I’d really call sangria, but it’s a better use for Fireball than many others. Certainly better than drinking it as a straight shot.

My wife is about to be discharged from the hospital, and to rehab, then home - with terminal cancer. “Hygge” seems a lot like our plan of action at this point, except not so much outdoorsy stuff. Although she’ll want some of that.

So, one person’s peanut butter got in another person’s... chocolate?

Our house will mostly be desired by builders/flippers. Everything is outdated, some major systems need work or replacement. The structure is good, the location is great (walking distance to a good school, 10 minute bike ride or 30 minute walk to the beach, lots of upscale shops), and the lot is roughly double the size…

My only contention is this: “but a Raspberry Pi with Emulation Station/RetroPie/Recalbox would be cheaper, easier to setup”

Another option is to make it a condition of the sale that you’ll “rent it back” from the new owners, right? I sure hope so, because since we are “cash poor and house rich” (HA!) we need the cash from the closing to buy our new home. We plan to pay buyer the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and a little “vig” if necessary,…
