You're single and you own a house. How do you make it weird?

Pop quiz, hotshot. You own a house. There's not really a yard to speak of. No one else has a veto. You can do anything you like with it. You don't care if the house is later listed on sites where people gawk at real estate listings and wonder what on earth the owner was thinking. In fact you want to make it weird, like that one video about the tiny house with fold-away furniture. What do you do? [more inside]

Songs about being in love for a long time

What are your favorite songs about long-term relationships? Can be about people going through it (Can We Hang On) or unrepentant fluff (Ten Years), but should NOT be about people who remain together through sheer force of loathing (No Children etc.)

Leg exercises that can strengthen quadriceps

Years ago, I developed a bad case of tendonitis in my right knee, and that knee has never been the same since. Every few years, I get a flare-up of pain in it. I found that the best way to treat this pain is to strengthen my quadriceps muscles using a leg extension machine, like this one. I'm seeking alternatives that don't involve me joining a gym just to use one piece of equipment. [more inside]

NON-erotic sci-fi stories about humans being kept as pets by aliens?

I've done some research into the genre, and the zone is absolutely flooded with light to heavy erotica. Glad the readers and writers of that are finding each other, but it's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for stories with a classic sci-fi focus, mainly on the premise and not how the premise could be horny. Any influential classics?

Scone With the Wind

Our new kitchen, for design reasons, has one ‘cupboard’ door that just covers some wall. I want to cover the wall with fake bookends so that when you open the door it looks like a shelf of cook books, but I want joke titles that are puns on classic literature, eg ‘Loaf of Pi’ or ‘Bun day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich’. Ideas, please!

The Perfect Tea Mug

We had one tea mug left that was perfect, but it broke a while ago, and I am fed up with all the other mugs we have that aren't perfect. Unfortunately, the maker's mark disappeared from the bottom of the mug, and I can't find a similar one in dozens of image searches. [more inside]

Moving photos from Google Drive to Amazon Photos

I have a TON of photos in Google Drive but I just discovered that Amazon Prime has free unlimited storage so I'd like to move things there. I don't want to have to download and upload them to get them there. Have you moved photos like this using an online service (e.g. MultCloud)? What worked for you and what didn't?

Large group home for elders, who happened to be women

I’m looking for an article from two or three years ago about a group of single, retired women sharing a large home, more like a big lodge, and kitchen. They had a cook, or maybe two and it might have been a faith-based community. I think it was somewhere on the east coast. [more inside]
