Need advice: Do I have any recourse for Sear's screw-up??
Comments (11)Well Good news! Weissman and Mcmann were right...you get more bees with honey (is that the expression?? why would anyone want more bees?) I won!! I was level headed and just called to follow up on my dishwasher dilemma and they "found" me the same model machine, in a box, brand new, that they will sell to me for the same price as I originally paid! Not quite sure why they have to "return" the old machine I never got and then "purchase" this new one when the cost is the same...but whatever, I'm just happy I'm getting a machine and one without a dent, to boot! So I'm one happy camper (for now, until something else goes wrong with either the credit or purchase amount or the machine is wrong---so many stresses with ordering appliances.) Thank you all for your advice! It was wonderful to have rational voices giving me advice during my battle with corporate america.

Comments (15)I would paint the headboard wall, either in a lighter shade of the same color or maybe a color of the same saturation from the bedding (blue or green). or how about something like this: [Modern Bedroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/modern-bedroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_715~s_2105) It's a masking tape technique with paint, or just stripes since the treatment above most likely doesn't go with your bedding.?...See MoreNeed advice: what would you do if you had a lot of volunteer edibles
Comments (16)I grew 'Superior' potatoes a few years ago. I missed a nice potato when I dug up the crop and found it the following spring when digging up the garden. Since it had sprouted, I moved it to a good site and marked the spot with a stick. It grew well and bore 5 nice potatoes and a few marble sized ones. After harvesting my "free potatoes", I planted the marble sized spuds back in the same place in the hope they would grow the following year again. Success! They are up so I have another year of "free" potatoes. The crop that keeps coming back. I grew dill last year. This year I have little volunteer dill plants everywhere. One bad lesson I learned is to NEVER plant morning glories in the garden. After planting them, I have had volunteer plants come up the past 6 years! I try to pull them all out but a few get away from me late in the season and run up the tomato plants and flower. Seeds fall everywhere so the problem comes back every year. I have had "volunteer' tomatoes come up where the previous year's cherry tomatoes grew. Sometime so many come up on their own, I have to wonder why I keep starting more from seed under my lights each winter?...See MoreI need advice! What should I do with my knotty pine and brick?
Comments (19)It would be helpful to see pics of the opposite wall with painted white brick and more of the room. Your mirrors & light gray furniture give impression you are craving light. Suggestion: First, clean the paneling well & paint out or replace the fireplace insert black to match other accessories & make it less prominent. Then, decide if the paneling is too dark or wrong color to work with furniture + rest of the house & same with brick. It seems like remaining decisions, e.g. paint paneling or replace with drywall, paint brick or reface, add mantle, add bookshelves, etc. will depend on your budget....See Morefelizlady
