We have a pool so no glass allowed outside. Since we eat outside a lot in the spring, summer, and fall, it makes sense for us to have nice outdoor dishes.Originally Posted by amy31416
The wife and I are always pretty surprised when we go to places and people have dishes that all match. Most of our dishes are curb score or $0.25 thrift.
now these:
we've got about 150 matching 'mater sauce cans each filled with a different size nut/bolt/washer/fastener. I like the handle; that'd work well on a ladder

Lots of stuff tends to get dropped and knocked over with horseplay and if some glass gets in the water when it breaks it's impossible to find until someone steps on it.Whut?I've never had a pool, so could ya explain the problem with glass outside in the pool area, sweet cheeks?
I know you're right. I have no idea what happened to people being taught and understanding what to wear, how and when to wear it. It's really just common sense.It would be very interesting and pleasantly unusual to wake up one day to find most women not dressing like sluts or homeless people.
One time I dove in the water with my glasses on. I didn't have any goggles so I couldn't see where they fell. It took me a long time to find them being as blurry eyed as I am without them in the first place. LOL Here's what my pool looks like. It's 27 ft round and 51/2 feet deep in the center. We were going to put an inground, but we found out how much the retaining wall was going to cost which was as much or more than the pool, so we did the above ground for a lot less.
When we were looking to buy our home, we could've bought a house cheaper than this one with an inground already there, but the neighborhood was newer and had no trees. That's why we bought this house in this neighborhood was because it has all of these big old beautiful trees. We don't have too many flat spots in Massachusetts. Just about everything is built into a hillside around here. LOL
You should hear the birds around here in the mornings. I love having my coffee out on the deck in the morning and listening to them.

Nice pool, Terry.
Also glass in the pool will tear the liner, not good.
My kids want to make a sign for our pool and these are the ones they're trying to decide between.
1. This is actually a rule.
2. My 14 yo son wants to make this shark longer
and write this on it
3. My 16 yo son (and husband) like this one.They're cute at that age...
They think it will go nicely with the Buttweiser neon hanging on the porch. I'm trying to have a nice pretty area to entertain and they keep jacking it up with their tacky crap.
I was fortunate in that even when I was maintaining my girlish figure, i had curves. That made it easier to wear low end clothes, except that button blouses usually wanted to gap.The age of style and grace. Beautiful, beautiful outfits they had then. Nothing like the crap being worn today.
I literally have no sense of style, so my only personal rules are to never wear pants that have an elastic waist, and never wear shirts that don't have sleeves . No t-shirts. Before I got old I would waive the collar rule if it was appropriate to show a bit of décolleté, but I have given that up gracefully of late.
But I literally could dress like those women in the 40's right now.
As for other fashion eras, I don't care what people say about shoulder pads...I think that the 80's were a great look.

Those pool liners are not cheap either--we've had ours replaced once already and my friend across the street had her inground liner replaced at the tune of thousands of dollars too. We bought the extra thick liner because they last a lot longer. They're more expensive, but our other neighbor on the other side who has an above ground too, he put in a cheap liner and the bugs ate right through it not to mention the rocks in the sand poked holes in it too.Nice pool, Terry.

Those signs are so cute, I like them all especially the first one and the shark
I am totally out of the box with today's styles. I still have some Liz Claiborne swing style blazers with shoulder pads that I love and still get a lot of compliments on them. I've embellished the edges with decorative stitching and added buttons as well. I sort of reinvent my own style from stuff that I've had for decades. I'm one of those people who hate to get rid of anything when I know that I can repurpose or reinvent it somehow. I take really good care of my clothes, so they last and look good for a long time.
I'm a conservative dresser too. I like comfortable loose fitting clothes that hide the bad stuff and accentuate the good stuff--Lol I love reds, yellows, blues, olive greens plaids and khaki. When I dress up now--the highest heels I wear are those kitten heels. The hub is only about three inches taller than me, so he's not a fan of me towering over him. So I wear the lower heels so he's always got at least an inch above me.
LOL
Swish! Candies for cuties and the headlight in the hair do.

I had an awesome Liz Claiborne long pullover sweater with small shoulder pads. It had a matching long patterned skirt. I wish I hadn't got rid of it because it really was a flattering look. I've even tried to find it again on vintage sites. It was circa 1986.I am totally out of the box with today's styles.

Nice thing about being scrawny (at least around here) is that I can always find good stuff in my size at the 2nd hand stores. Shoes are a different story.
Personally, I prefer 20's/30's looks over 80's anyday. I always cut out shoulder pads because they annoyed me.
I don't do cleavage, cuz I ain't got none. I have the chest of a malnourished African child.

Making this for the front door Spring decoration instead of the usual wreath. I thought it was so cute.
Adorable!
I need a new washer and dryer so I decided to redo the laundry closet. Actually, the washer is on the fritz and I'm trying to make my husband understand how that translates into a new matching dryer and new cabinets.

Here's what I did back in 2007, I got tired of lugging laundry up and down the basement stairs and had a wall put in my kitchen to support the gas dryer and washer and fridge. I love having my laundry in the kitchen. I didn't really have another good place to put a laundry room upstairs, but this worked out really well. That wall alone with all of the plumbing and electrical was about 4000.00 all by itself, but it was well worth it to me.Adorable!

I bought a new upright freezer to go where the old fridge hole was between the counters to fill that space after we bought the new fridge. Now I don't have to run downstairs to get anything out of the deep freeze either.

Cool--I want to see what you get. Are you going for the front or top loaders? I love my front loaders. Don't buy the LG like I have. Hub's replaced both pumps twice on the washer already because they have cheap plastic parts. We've replaced the dryer rollers once so far too. The rollers lasted about 5 years and the pumps about the same. I won't buy this brand again next time. I do a ton of laundry every single day though--so I probably use mine more than the average. The only thing I really like about these is that they're stackable and they're extra large capacity. I can do huge comforters and pillows in these that I used to have to take to the cleaners to wash.
I got my set!!! Yay! I'm not getting delivery until May 19th because the dryer is out of stock until then. That's fine, it gives me time to paint and install new cabinets.

Mine run almost 24/7 with my two peeps, hubs clothes and the bedding. I've got all my settings pre-set already and that sensor dry works really well too. I also use that steam feature to take wrinkles out of stuff that's been in the drawers for a while before I put it on. And being able to wash comforters now instead of having to haul them to the cleaners is really nice. You're gonna love those!I won't have to look far, we're kind of a dirty people.
If yer washer ever starts leaking (as happens to some models after some aging), you're not going to like that so much...Here's what I did back in 2007, I got tired of lugging laundry up and down the basement stairs and had a wall put in my kitchen to support the gas dryer and washer and fridge.

Mine are upstairs and I keep a close eye out for leaks.If yer washer ever starts leaking (as happens to some models after some aging), you're not going to like that so much...
My brother in law had a washer hose burst in his house and it ran all night. His was upstairs too, btw, and did thousands of dollars in damage to his house. The drop ceiling in the basement even collapsed.

We have the same sugar shaker and cabinets, only you have a lot more. I like the toaster. But is that a decorative panel on your dishwasher? Very clever! How did you do that?I bought a new upright freezer to go where the old fridge hole was between the counters to fill that space after we bought the new fridge. Now I don't have to run downstairs to get anything out of the deep freeze either.
I am just going to put my laundry room upstairs when we remodel that area.
