Total Gym, workouts for weight loss
Comments (2)Sorry you haven't gotten any help here. Did your machine come with any suggestions for a workout plan? I would strongly suggest you have a visit with a trainer, or have one come to your home, to get a plan going. This will be of tremendous help, and it will also keep you from hurting yourself. Best wishes for success....See MoreTotally at a loss of what to do
Comments (47)"The room always seems so dark" Back to basic ideas, maybe consider whether dark couldn't be great? And offer a nice contrast in mood to what your family room offers? For some time now, dominant styles have all been white to light-medium (that gray on the wall), so that the wonderful decorating possibilities of "dark" are routinely ignored, even when it means constantly fighting a room's natural characteristics to make it something it is not, instead of using them as an asset. That you need to keep those windows covered for privacy is a basic reality to work with. If you go back in time a couple decades, you'll find many examples of darkly fantastic, lusciously inviting rooms done in the greens, reds, yellows you like, also often paired with toned-down yellows in golds, ochres, tobacco brown. Notably, these colors all look good with brown leather, an important consideration here. They're also especially wonderful under artificial light, also. Rich dark greens--not muddy--are also both warm in winter and wonderfully shady-cool in hot weather. Whites are often used with them as fresh accents, and you already have those curtains, and possibly in the paintings. So, even if you have no intention of repainting, to make the most of an $800 budget, my own best suggestion is to repaint. Pick a dark-medium to dark version one of those colors that could coordinate with decor in other rooms, perhaps taking it from those pictures you're considering, and cover the walls with that. One benefit would be that your room would seem larger. Dark walls retreat, and your dark, oversized upholstered furniture would settle right back into them. Another, imo, that all your browns would look so much better with any of those colors than with gray. Get one or all of those pictures and the red rug. Hang some similarly dark (further enriching rather than leaping out) panels outside your white curtains. Put up some mirrors to bounce the warm sun and lamplight around. If inclined, look for significantly better quality and far more interesting table lamps in second-hand shops (you wouldn't have to look long), although choosing lamps in the current style are a typical way of keeping rooms looking up to date. Would depend on the finishing touches you thought your room needed. A trip to the library for some old glossy magazines and decorating books would turn up lots of wonderful examples of other color schemes. Houzz is mostly too new to offer much beside the current narrow range of possibilities....See MoreCan rose recover from total leaf loss?
Comments (2)Others will know more all I can think of is even thou there is a drip system. This rose did not receive enough water or too much water. Have you checked to see how far the water is penetrating in to the soil after it is done running. As long as you have green canes it not dead. Prune away the dead stems and Provide some shade for the rose until it recovers Then check to be sure the soil is moist but not soggy wet. Thats the best I can do I'm sure others will help if I forgot something....See MoreHome fire, total loss, anyone have advice?
Comments (65)Have you made your notebook? It was a suggestion from the owner of the company that did the cleaning. It really helps. Just a cheap binder with ruled notebook paper. Day and date with names, phone numbers, and notes of what was said. I just started on the first page and kept going. The front of the binder had a pocket that I tucked the business cards into. Do you have Nextdoor? Ask on there for recommendations for a lawyer. I'm sorry you have to get one, but it seems like a good idea. Don't trust Angie's List. There have been problems here with what was recommended. Seems the more the company pays, the higher the rating. We were very lucky. Not that bad and our insurance has been great so far. Don't try to look at the entire job. Make a list each day for what is the most important to do that day. Think baby steps. If you do one thing, that is one thing finished. I told our adjuster what happened to you and he said that was very common with older houses and that your son did great getting everyone out. He said that after our fire there was one in the older part of town that the lady that lived there did not survive. The firemen could not get her out. She was on the second floor....See More
