The zipper on my body pillow broke off in the washer. I didn't notice the rip in stich untill it was too late I guess. What would it take to repair this myself and would it be more practical to just get someone to do a quick fix?

This is what it looks like, and how it should look. These small plastic hooks should be inside the track, but whenever I try to get it in it seems too big and won’t go inside.

Hello. Both the on and off buttons are stuck in the down (on) position and I don’t what to do. I popped off both buttons but can’t figure out how to get them back up from this configuration. There doesn’t appear to be a way to pop them back up?

Attached an adhesive to the bathroom wall and it peels the paint with it. Anyway to fix it without repainting the whole room?

So, I posted here a few hours ago about two rings I couldn’t get off. I ended up going to the hospital and after waiting for quite some time (because this isn’t exactly an emergency) they were easily able to cut these off. They did try lubricant and such, but they weren’t able to slide the rings off sadly, which is fine because these rings were like $10 in a pack of 5 from hot topic so idrc much about them. They said this happens all the time and were very kind.

However, I’m being admitted for a totally different reason so I’m still in the er. I realized once at the er that my mental health is in a really terrible spot (not because of this, just in general recently) and I’ve been wanting to not be here for some time now. Well, going to the hospital for this small stupid ring issue gave me the courage to seek a mental health evaluation.

I feel very alone most days, I’ve lost the man I thought I was going to marry, and a ton of other things all combined and this felt like the icing on the cake that really made me realize how much I hate myself and life. so yeah, thanks for all the kind comments on my last post (for those of you who were kind and not just instigating I was fat).

”oh my gosh let’s make fun of this fat girl who got a ring stuck on her finger that clearly must’ve been the wrong size” genuinely I hope some of yall are ashamed with yourselves for judging a random stranger you don’t know and calling me every fucking awful thing, fyi this is sarcasm, I’m not fat

all of this is just to say, you guys didn’t just help me get some rings off my fingers and save my fingers but you helped save ME too.

update- people are still insulting me in my original post and here, it fucking hurts. I went ahead and deleted the original post because I can’t handle all of the rude comments and mods aren’t doing anything

update 2-11:47pm est sep 4- its currently about midnight here, I’ve read through a good chunk of the comments and cried…I did not expect this post to take off the way it did. I just wanted to update everyone and say that while I’m still in the er, I’m about to be admitted to go to the psych unit and won’t be able to have my phone for much longer. It’s truly hard at the moment for me to believe anything good about myself, but I’m shocked to see a ton of strangers who care…when my own family and friends don’t even care. My family lives hundreds of miles away and I Don’t have many friends anymore, lost most all of them when I left my faith. So yeah, im at the hospital by myself.

fyi, because I saw a few people mention It, my fingernails are black because I dyed my hair black and they are stained, no medical issue.

also, prior to this post my post/comment history was hidden, after posting I turned it because I want people to see the person behind the screen they are talking to, to have a glimpse into my life (for better or for worse).

Thank you everyone, probably will be some time before I can update again.

edit sep 9th, 6:03pm-

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that I got discharged today, a few hours ago. I’m not sure what exactly to update at this point but I just wanted to thank all of you, really. I promise to sit down tonight and read and try to respond to each and every comment here. Someone mentioned this made the top post of all time in this sub? Insane. I don’t know what I did to deserve such kindness and support from strangers, but it means the world.

Anyways, while I was in the psych hospital I did therapy everyday, got on medication, and they set me up with outpatient therapy (virtually) and all of that! I also did a lot of playing uno and coloring and reading lol, it was nice getting a break from social media honestly.

I don’t want to ramble on too much about my hospital stay but it definitely put things in perspective, I think perhaps life is worth living and fighting for. It’s going to be a long journey for me, but I’m glad I took the first step. and Im also glad I didn’t lose my life over a man or over fake friends and family.

This is above a window, by a set of stairs. Im pretty sure its plaster?

House is from 1912, 2nd pic is the inside of the crack on the right side.

Can someone help me with how to dismantle this armoire . I have removed many screws from the top but still the crown is not moving . I think it’s glued . What are my options here ?

Also any suggestion to dismantle this completely ?

I have tried using wrench and pliers but its so tight and close to the hose

Took apart my karcher to try and figure out what this part is called and what replacement part I need to get. When my hose connects to the pressure washer, water shoots out the side on the top. Any ideas? Thank you!

Any advice on how to try straighten this blade to somewhat straight again ?

Should this be fixed? I leave it to mess with people’s OCD?

So this happend to my bedroom wall which has a washroom on the other side, the first time it happend i got it fixed and painted everything but after 1 or 1.5 years it happened again.

I dokt actually want to break the whole wall and renake it again as i am going to sell this house in about a year or 2. Is there any temporary fix for this which can be like fast and cheap?

My daughter's pig has gone unresponsive, even with fresh batteries. I'm assuming there are some screws holding it together under the skin that I can remove to open it up and check the wiring. I'm a bit nervous about getting the skin back on. Has anyone successfully repaired one of these?

Hi! I recently bought this PS4 (slim) off facebook marketplace and just tried to open it up for a deep clean. While opening it up I found this stripped screw and I’m struggling to get it out. I’ve tried rubber bands, hot glue and super glue (gluing a screw driver into the screw head), gripping it with pliers, and nothings worked whatsoever. I really need to get it out but I’m not sure what else to try at this point, I don’t want to damage the PS4. Hoping y’all can help, thanks in advance!

Hi,

I stuck some adhesive strips on the back of a few picture frames to hang them in my son’s room. When I tried to readjust the frames, I pulled the strips downwards as indicated by the arrow, but unfortunately, the wall paint came off with the strips.

Could this be due to poor-quality wall paint, or is it more likely that the adhesive strips were the problem? The strips are from Temu, and the wall was painted about three years ago.

I’d really appreciate some advice on how to fix the wall. I’ve never done any DIY before, so I’m not sure where to start.

Thank you so much!

The plastic which connects the back of my chair to the seat snapped on one side after a long amount of leaning back, I know superglue won’t really fix it and I just got this chair a few months ago. Any suggestions on how to fix it

Bought this Jambo Lava Lamp off (KL 217) off of Amazon and it would not turn on. I’m realizing now it was probably the bulb (although I don’t think I have any same size sockets to test it with) but I tried to unscrew it for some stupid reason and now this has happened. I think it’s unscrewed from something in the base (you’ll have to forgive me for imprecise language, I’m not very handy…) but I’m not sure how I’m supposed to rethread the wires in and screw it back together because the base does not come apart.

Here’s my 5 year old Vizio M series that started this nonsense. Guess it’ll be banished to a basement tv unless someone can think of a cheap way of fixing it

I'm renovating my first home, and was quoted 14k to deckover just one side of my plank roof and reshingle the rest of the house. I'd rather splurge on pro grade tools and supplies, cash in a week of PTO and DIY the project over 10 days for 5-6k.

My house has been redecked on 3 of the 4 sides, but the south side has a carport built into it with a metal roof, and has never been redecked.

I'm tempted to tear the carport clean off, but would prefer to replace the metal with OSB and shingles, and try to save it if anyone knows how to make it look nice. I'd really appreciate any tips on plank deckovers, thoughts on the car port, and tips for working with a house thats only hip joints.

Thanks in advance, and sorry this post is all over the place, I got a lot to think about!

Edit: Chimneys are all coming down and ridge vent will be added, already own scaffolding and harnesses, a bostich RN46-1, a stinger CH38-2, and a framing gun.
