    "We Buy Houses!"

    I dont know about the actual businesses that do the "We Buy Houses" thing. But in a town 2 hours from me there is a guy who runs an ad like that. He buys the ugly and run down ones. Ones that others are not buying at all. Most people want a house you can move into right away with minimal work...

    How would you handle somone's insistence in this situation?

    I dont know. Maybe just let her be nice and bring you extra snacks. Just dont bring up the subject of food to much, maybe she will stop being pushy or worrying about this topic. Just an idea. Maybe she saw how worried you are about the food, so she is now worrying about it along with you. And...

    selling handmade sea salt?

    Or you could put a disclaimer on the salt you sell. Saying Use at your own risk. Or taken from mother nature, saltyness and minerals may vary from batch to batch. Maybe other people could come up with a better disclaimer. But I gave it a try. If it is mainly geared to vacationers. They may have...

    Now on the history channel

    There is a movie about a Pandemic of sorts. Its actually a dirty bomb. Its not gory or zombie like. It seems a bit more like how it would be if it was real. Its a bit slow, but it makes you think. What would I do if that happened near by. Also kind of makes you wonder about believing the ones...

    Food dehydrator questions

    Personally I like the ones that have the motor on the top, instead of the bottom. My grandma ruined one that had a bottom motor. She dried some really juicey fruit and to much of the juice dripped on the motor and eventually ruined it. And some of the juice got on the heating coils. Was very...

    Marriage questions

    Yes I agree. Get as much paper proof as you can get. He may seem nice now, but if he is doing some thing bad. He may get even more angry and mad that he was found out. When a guy gets caught, they usually get very mad and defensive. And an angry man usually only tries revenge. Even the once very...

    Marriage questions

    Im sorry of what your going through. But this is my view on it. Ok.. I dont know how long you have been together. But from my experience... When a guy starts to not let you take care of them, example; not washing his clothes, not letting you cook for him. And other small things you may have...

    How do you disenfect used shoes?

    That could be.. Although he got the foot problem before the known liver problem. But that could have been the first sign his liver was going bad. Maybe it made it easier for him to contract the foot problem.

    How do you disenfect used shoes?

    Sorry but I was just a bit leary of used shoes, since my step dad didnt have a foot virus/fungus until he bought a pair of used shoes. Now he can never get rid of it. The pills damage the liver, and his liver is already bad. So now the only thing he can do is when a toe nail gets to bad and...

    How do you disenfect used shoes?

    Do you know of any places online to get cheap new shoes, for kids? I guess if im doomed to get the used ones. Then maybe if I find a pair that look barely used, maybe they would have less chance of carrying any thing yucky.

    How do you disenfect used shoes?

    Thats a great idea. But here they dont allow flip flops at school. Well at least the small kids school. I think the high schoolers are allowed to wear them. Shoes have to be secure, and no open toes. Some open toed sandals you can get away with if they are barely open toed. I guess the school...

    I guess you now know why some SS'ers are paranoid. You never know when it will all be taken away. I hope the lady wins and that town has to give her back her rabbits and replace any that was lost.
