We live in Minnesota. He’s originally from Costa Rica but doesn’t like heat. We go outside, he pees, and he runs (best as he can anyway) back to the house.
Years ago, I attached this t-shaped piece to my shower head to attach a separate hose, which I used to bathe my dog. I want to soak the whole thing in vinegar and water to clean it, not just the white shower head. There is green build up in the “T”. Would vinegar do any damage to the thread tape (I think that’s what it’s called)?
Edit: Question answered. Thanks everyone!
I recently gained an “Inherited IRA”. I already have my own IRA and decided to use the Inherited one to pay my mortgage each month. And yes it gets taxed each time I withdraw. It’s still free money and I need the money for bills now.
As a result, my monthly expenses will decrease. I am also considering increasing my employer 401k contributions, since it frees up some room in my bank account. But would this essentially mean the money used to pay the mortgage gets taxed again upon retirement?
I needed the main water shut off valve replaced (my fault). The pipe originally had foam insulation wrapped around it. The plumber had to remove it to do his job. He says it doesn’t need new insulation. For context, it is a town house. This space is an “internal” room. The wall behind it is a neighboring unit. So no exposure to winter temperatures unless you want to count the concrete slab and the fresh air intake. It’s also where the water softener, heater and furnace are.
Is he correct that I don’t need to replace the insulation?
I need to replace all the shut off valves in my house. I didn’t realize there are so many sizes!
Here is one photo of a toilet valve. Others have green corrosion on them. The nut leading to the toilet is 5/8”. The pipe from the wall is 5/8” diameter. The nut on that pipe is 1”.
What size valve do I need? Menards didn’t have anything “5/8 x 5/8”.
For tools, I have crescent wrenches, emery paper, thread tape, and a pipe brush. What other tools do I need?
I learned in drivers ed years ago, when you make a right turn, you stay in the right most lane, then shift to the left lane. Vice versa for left turns.
Sometimes I drive through this area with really impatient drivers. It’s a city road with lots of lights, but people weave through traffic and run a few lights.
I’m the red arrow in this picture. Light is red. I’m turning right, then immediately signaling to shift lanes. Yellow line is a car behind me. It zips by, going directly to the left lane as I already have my signal on for a few seconds and am in the process of shifting.
Who has the right of way?
You’re packing up your things, got your shoes on…
You’re going to work, an interview, a meeting, a date.
If you don’t leave right now, or maybe just a few minutes from now, you could be late. All looks good.
Then, you have to poop. And it takes its sweet time to finish. Sometimes you still make it on time, sometimes not.
No? Am I the only one?
I hauled 4-500 lb of metal to the recycling plant and made $79. I took a backroads route, not knowing how many downhill stops I’d hit.
Now, my brakes are softer and I hear a “clunking” noise which may be struts.
It’s a 2019 RAV4. It was like having 3 more adults in the car but I guess even that is too much.
Lesson learned!
We have a shared office space. We have 5ft walls separating us. When your computer speakers are hurting my ears, first, wear headphones, second, go see an audiologist.
Trying to update my cc info in an app. I double checked everything and clicked “save.” It says “You card could not be saved. Please try again later.” Of course there is nothing to explain WHY it isn’t saved. I hate technology.
So I’m walking my lab and this chihuahua. The chi pooped, and when she was done, she kicked up the grass (normal thing right?). The thing is, my dog was standing right behind her. He looks like he doesn’t know what happened! ❤️❤️
Gol is a 12 year old chocolate lab. I adopted him February of last year, knowing he wouldn’t be around super long. He’s always had bad legs but last year he managed it well. Last week, he could hardly stand. He’d walk a few steps and collapse. He prefers to just lay in the grass for close to an hour. He can still hold himself up to pee and poop. He struggled like this from Thursday to Sunday morning. I knew it was bad. I was starting to think of that final vet appointment.
Sunday afternoon, he magically improved, though only a little. We can walk about a quarter mile or so. He still needs help standing 90% of the time.
I have put down a senior dog before, so this isn’t new. Still, I’m just prepping myself mentally. He has been such a good boy.
I live in a pretty quiet townhome association. There are a few families with young kids. One family across the street from me lets their two boys ride their bikes unsupervised around the street. No big deal. I did that too. When they are outside and I need to leave my house, they keep riding their bikes in my path. They stare at me with this dumbfounded look as they cross. I’m trying real hard not to hit them.
I don’t even know these neighbors but it might be a good time to break out of my shell, introduce myself, and tell their parents to train their FUCKING children road safety!
It’s a red bubble-like thing that appears to have come from under the skin. He has an appointment next week for something else. No fluid leakage and no obvious pain. Really hoping it’s not deadly.

Someone is selling their car and mentioned the ABS light has been stuck “on” since replacing the front tires. Just wondering what would cause this to happen? Not planning to buy the car but it sounds strange.
I started Part Two of Mr. Murder. The guy kills several small pets. Now I am traumatized (exaggerating but not really). I don’t know if I can continue this one.
Dean has a crazy and dark imagination.
