OTC Allergy Meds
This. Try rotating through the second-generation anti-histamines. This is exactly the strategy I use.

Good Luck Brother. Grandkids are a damn good reason.

Anyone have experience with projector based home theater?
This. Most importing thing is to control the ambient light. Zero extraneous light (and flat wall paint sheen) will make an ok screen and projector look great, but leaky light will make a really high-end projector and screen look crummier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

recommend me a site where I can buy custom blinds (for windows, not hunting)
Check the prices here, when we blinded ourselves a few years ago, this place was 1/4 the price of any local retail. https://www.paylessdecor.com/

Steak Knives
I'm a cheap steak knife buyer, it doesn't take a great knife for a perfectly cooked, medium-rare steak. That said, spend the money on a good chef's knife, paring knife, boning knife and Santoku. I have a mix of Wusthof and Heinkel, and some generic steak knives, probably from Target.

Family Heirlooms, Objects, and Miscellanea
I don't have good answers, but wanted to say, I'm sorry about the passing of your mother. One thing to consider too: your kids, when they're young adults will likely move many times as they become established in their careers.

Smart home AC controller
I have an ecobee, and it's great. Three separate a/c units, all with remote temp controls. Kids' rooms are upstairs, I can have it warmer during the day when no one is home, cool down in the evening, and at night, only use the remote thermometers in their bedroom to maintain the upstairs temp. Now, you may just need a separate a/c unit for that room, it sounds like a wild imbalance.

Cordless Weed Eaters
I just picked up the Ryobi "whisper" quiet 40v blower last week, when my 10 year old Stihl blower quit. It's clears up sidewalks and driveways after lawn mowing/edging noticeably better (not a lot, but noticeably) than the Stihl. It is significantly quieter (judging by needed volume on Airpods listening to The Ticket. I have only one GP thing left: my Echo Edger. It's 10 years old and shows no sign of quitting. Keeping a gas can around for it.

I'm on my fourth golden. Absolutely fantastic and exceptionally intelligent companion dogs. Like all retrievers, need exercise and love.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
Yeah, Not sure what the irrigation pulls per week. It comes out before my water supply hits my Flo valve, so I'd have to find a bill for my total use last month.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
We run through (household of 4) about 600 gallons in a week. (Not including irrigation).

Trump Reinstatement Day Thread (no politics! only news, happenings, memes, shenanigans, ins and outs, and what have yous)
Which thread? Gotta see this. I can't believe there is a rational explanation for this.
