Just a little corner of the net where I can hide away and exist I guess..

A little of this and a little of that- some of myself, some record of things I find interesting and helpful too.

All-Kare Barrier Wipes/Uni-solve Adhesive Remover

For all you other pump diabetics out there: I talked to my doc about the trouble with skin irritation at insertion sites and she suggested these types of things. I called my med supplier and asked for samples ( just ask, they can usually do it). So they sent me these to try, and while I think the All-Kare barrier works well I've discovered an issue: I need two boxes of the Uni-solve remover for every box of barrier wipes. When I used them my fingers got so sticky it was ridiculous, so I had to use a wipe on them. But now I smell like oranges :) I tried to just use the package and not touch the barrier wipe before using it on my set site, but that was a process and a half and didn't turn out well. And I still wound up with sticky fingers!

But for sensitive skin it seems to be helping.. I have to change my sets daily, not like most who get 3 days out of them. All that switching does a number on skin tissue.. This seems to help some. I'd give it 8 out of 10.

Recipe: Amish cinnamon bread

I admit, I screenshot it.. But it looked so darn good, and I wanted to make sure I didn't mis-tye it. Here you are with the name of the poster attached for reference:



( thanks Facebook forwards! Lol)

Skyrim sink/cabinet notes take two

So I've been doing a loooot of research into this, skinflint that I am. Mostly it's that I have too many projects for the budget I have. Should I become independently wealthy, we can revisit it.. But till then, frugal I remain. 

I need just a few set things:
1. Must be 48" wide
2. Must be toe kick style, not that raised or on feet style cabinet
3. Must be able to go with cinnamon or reddish or dark brown colors. I can paint or stain.. And no cheapo cookie cutter housing crap.

This short list is apparently hard to fill.. For under 2k. I shopped everywhere, and it comes down to two options:

Redo my floors so I can use a footed cabinet

Or

Custom order something and shell out a minimum of $1800 starting, before looking at the top. 

I liked this a lot, it'll work. I think. If I run a base board flat up against the back of those feet to create a kick, it might work. 


And then I can use this top


So it looks like:
379- cabinet
189- top
19-side splash
30- drawer pulls (6 @ $5 ea)
15- drawer handles (3@ $5 ea)
250 faucet/hardware
——————————
882 Total at Lowes

( I think I have some scrap wood and stain to finish a kick out.. Not worried about figuring that in)
