The thing that is annoying me the most is that it is not finished remodeling enough that we can move into it and we started almost a year ago.

My Mom was an OB Nurse and there is no way I could do that - not the caring type and no way I want to look at that many lady parts. My Dad was Navy. Would have liked to do that but don't think I have the perseverance for it.

Went to both the city and the county police station a few weeks ago to try and report my contractor for running off with my money and not finishing the job. But as I suspected they would not even take a report because it is a civil issue.

I picked Very Bad because we finally were able to get the construction loan to renovate my great grandparents home so that my husband and I could move in to it, but the contractor ran off with 90% of the money and only did the outside siding and windows. And strung us along all summer and into...

My favorite breakfast tends to be leftovers or TV Dinner. On weekend my favorite is Taco Bell or eggs and corned beef hash at home.

I played all kinds of sports but none really well. Played Little League as a grade schooler. Moved on to HS Softball in 8th grade. Started HS Volleyball in 9th grade. Tried Basketball but was not good. Got "lucky" and broke my arm in 9th grade so I ended up as the Basketball Scorekeeper /...

This was back in late 80s and I was only in Junior High. But we were the first house across the street from the school and behind the school was a back road that was only used by folks up to trouble. Anyway one morning about 2am there was banging on our front door and Mom looked out the window...

Does anyone have a stove in the island? How did you deal with the vent hood? We are redoing my great grandparents' house and they had the stove across from the sink and we left it there but ended up moving the stairwell to the basement so the stove is now on the island rather than against the...

My contractor ran off with over $100k and did not finish my house. We are now trying to piecemeal enough together to get it done enough to refinance and get out of the construction loan.

I agree with Scarecrow & Mrs King. Enjoyed that when it was on. One old one that I would love to find that probably would not seem as cool to me now as it did when I was 12 was MacGruder & Loed. It was about two beat cops who lived "next door" to each other. Think inner city apartments where...

I could go for 5years older if I could have some say in what gets taken care of in my "absence". i.e. My house gets finished. I get comfortable and experience in my new career.

Soda Pop Production Planner - 13.75years Picker / Packer - Less than a week. Went in for day shift and they asked for volunteers to go to night shift. I volunteered and thought I would go home and come back that evening. They thought I should work some on day shift first. As the day shift...

Work is falling apart. Seems every time they fix something to go faster, the machines revolt and get slower. Debating on a new job I've been offered. Much smaller upstart company. Positive side would be a few old coworkers are already there and can vouch for the place being what they say they...

I also got a little lucky. Mine was on my face stretching from just outside my eye up my nose to my eyebrow and thru it. I was on vacation and my face itched. So I thought one of my pups had given me poison ivy. I kept putting clear calamine lotion on it. But I also kept telling my husband...

Every time I try to book it I keep getting this error message. Has anyone else had this issue?

I got lucky. I was in my 30s when I had Shingles on my face and in my eye. I thought one of my dogs had given me poison ivy and kept treating it with calamine lotion. I went on vacation and came back about a week later and finally went to my GP. I kept saying poison ivy is not supposed to...

I am a small dog person. Growing up we had a choodle mix(Gidget)that was mostly long hair chihuahua. My first dog with my husband was a short hair chihuahua (Chase). Then we got my Mom a chihuahua / rat terrier mix - Chiarat named Skyler. Shortly after that she got a girl chiarat and a girl...

IT by Stephen King. Like the OP. The movie has some scary parts but I was older when I saw it and the original was "Made for TV" so not too scary. But the book was another story. I remember reading that book at 13yo and would have to close the book and regulate my breathing but I would still...

Our area - Southern Illinois - we had a shortage of regular Fritos for more than a month. And the Saltines section was empty - all brands. And I could not find Cran Pineapple Juice. But one day I got lucky and all three were available after weeks of not being anywhere.

Here is the pretty blue quartz countertops that we found for our renovation. We are planning on going with stained grey cabinets where you can see the grain lines.
