DVD Blu-Ray Plyr with wi-fi connected to old tv. I learned here.
Comments (2)Ellie, Go for you. I took the liberty of tagging the other threads here for you. Now members will have a single portal to all four of your same topic threads, and you will only have to keep one alive if need be. One thread is historically the best way to go.

Comments (15)I don't know how to get email updates when people post, I check the box and nothing ever happens!!! I don't have any texture on the walls-I found the sanding easy and learned that I needed to use an oil primer on the spots first. Then use joint compound and sand, sand sand!! Then, when I was happy with the patching, I used the oil primer again. It is smooth and wonderful. I learned alot on the Home Remodeling forum! I will tell you, the Benjamim Moore paint is worth the extra money. In my opinion! Hubs thinks it's awesome. It reminds us both of happy days in the Sunny South, in our big home with a pool and kids running around. Our entire house was painted in this color. Slowly, I have worked my way out of the bathroom and will keep painting till it's all this color!!...See Morewhat we've learned here
Comments (9)I think a lot of the reason SD's mom and I have reached the point we are at (which has stepped back from the sharing a hide-a-bed days, but is still okay) is because of this forum. I learned to see things more from her point of view. I was able to see all that she has missed out on (caused by her own choices and actions, but I digress) and how that could turn her into the person she is now. I think of how hard I fought to gain custody of SD and then imagine what it would be like to loose it. . . then I multiply that by 100 and imagine if I were her bio-mom. I learned that as bad a mom I may think her, there are others who make her look like Mom of the Year. I realized that I wasn't alone and not a Horrible Person for the thoughts I had about her. I was able to let go of a lot of my hatred and re-direct it as sympathy and understanding, for it is usually the miserable that aim to make others miserable. You don't see a lot of truly happy people trying to make life difficult for everyone around them. I learned that considering myself a failure because I couldn't make this woman like me was about the dumbest thing I'd ever done - if I dislike her on so many levels and for so many reasons, why in God's name would I want her as a friend?!? Truly, I owe this board credit for a bit of my newly found sanity. Now we'll see how long it lasts....See MoreThings I've Learned Here
Comments (21)I was very, very clueless when I found this place. We just moved in and I really didn't have many furishings or accessories. What I was trying to put together I knew didn't look right but I didn't know why. You guys taught me the basics and I'm still learning. Some of the first things I discovered/learned here were about curtains. Just because they match in color doesn't mean they work. What they're made out of needs to work with your room! I love curtains way up at the ceiling now. Then it was onto the wonders of pillows and throws. After many threads and suggestions I finally split my entertainment stand apart and rearranged my LR. It's still not perfect since I wanted to keep certain things but it's so much better than what I originally had with everything backed against the wall. My taste has changed so much since I came here. It used to be the more ornate it was the more I loved it. Now I think too much of one thing isn't always good. Some of that same stuff I don't even care for anymore. Just looking at photos and reading things has helped me to decide what I like and don't, what works and doesn't, for my own home. I've made some expensive mistakes and am still changing some but you've also saved me from making a bunch more! Latest example: I wanted to add chunky (expensive) shelves from Ballard Design to my laundry room instead of cabinets. I think pretty much every person advised me to get cabinets. I'm sooooooo glad I did. Once I complete the room, I'll post some photos....See Morechloebud
