Do NOT cave on a promise to do something they have had plenty of time to take care of! Or just kiss your seat goodbye.

A mourning dove flew hard into my dining room window. Unfortunately, it gave its life for my window, but not before leaving an impressive outline of itself. You can see individual feather impressions in the 2nd picture.
This happens relatively often (I just ordered decals to thwart the birds).

1/2โ€ plywood for reinforcing the bottom of the cabinet. The keyhole slot allows the plug to go through and acts as a cord channel.

I made a spool chest nto a side table.
The โ€œDEXTERโ€ drawer is on the top. A charging port (2 USBC, 2 USBA, 2 regular plugs) is in the bottom drawer.
I reinforced the bottom to install the hairpin legs and make a cord channel. Forstner bit came in handy!

She is an equal opportunity a$$hole. Itโ€™s not enough to โ€œjustโ€ be heinous to trans people, she needs to spread it around to everyone. SMDH. S.C. Can do better than her.

The picture is a screenshot from a website. The product pice was $513.50. They put โ€œTariff Surcharge +6%โ€ on the price and the new price is $544.31.

Today was the first time I saw a product price online that added in a tariff surcharge AND told me that it was added. Iโ€™m not buying this particular product (too $$$), but I will buy from the company. Good for them for letting us know the tariff surcharge.

Most people who donโ€™t use cannabis donโ€™t understand what is said below.

โ€œPatients donโ€™t want to get high, they just want to get better.โ€

U.S. laws have made research on how cannabinoids work for different situations impossible. So we are out here self-medicating and ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿปfinding what works for us.
