The trick for everyone, use the cheapest shampoo you are comfortable using. Spend the time and money to find a good conditioner for your hair and scalp type. I need antidandruff shampoo and use a light leave in conditioner. You’d think it used $40 products from the salon.

I bought a dresser that actually came pre-stained in an orange color. We did a glass top on it to help protect it, and it looks new still to this day.

I understand the hate of Ikea’s cheap furniture. They also have plenty of solid wood furniture as well. Maybe not multigenerational quality, but they do have plenty of buy it for life versions that have survived several moves.

I did this. The only thing I took from my grandparents when we had to sell was the dining table. Too many memories to let go, and it’s solid wood. Its a 4 seat table but expands to 6 if needed. Perfect size. Fuck those matching chairs though. Solid wood too, but my god, they are so bulky, heavy, ugly and uncomfortable. We went and got cheap, modern chairs instead, and it actually worked out really well.

My inlaws have a GIANT 10/12 person table with matching high back solid wood chairs that they beg for the family to take when they are gone. None of us will have space for it and will see it more than likely donated/dumped.

My wife is like this with my newer friends. Where did they grow up? What music do they like? What’s their partner like?

Lady, calm down, I’ve only known them for a few years now lol. She can meet someone and recite their whole backstory after the 2nd meet-up.
