I think many people like the aroma of coffee and drink coffee every day.

Is there anyone who has a particular way of drinking coffee, beans, grind, etc. ?

Is there anyone who uses Bialetti ?
I am thinking of buying one, but there are similar products on the market and I am confused. I am not sure if I should buy it or not.

Any recommendations for beans?

I am new to coffee.

It was all-American
It was probably the first business model they started when they settled in America.
Maybe the U.S. government assistance made it so. ?
As an aside, the occupation that Japanese Americans started after the war was gardeners.
The Chinese are food vendors.
Koreans are massage.
Vietnamese are cosmeticians.
Now they are all different and supporting the American economy.

I think you're overreacting, a Cambodian owned donut shop is the most common, run-of-the-mill donut shop you'll find on any side street in California.
Not a chain like Dunkin' or Winchell Donuts, but
an independent, family-owned donut shop.
I have lived in the US for 40 years, so when I first came here, I was a little confused because many of the independent stores were run by immigrants (tire stores, car repair stores, gas stations, convenience stores, etc.)
I thought 🤔 this is what the US is like.

Seventeen years old is also a heavenly life. He is barking because he is in pain too.
Please let him be at ease soon. I have taken care of 5 dogs and put 2 of them to sleep.
I first put a sleeping pill in the IV and then a muscle relaxant once they were unconscious. It was a really sleepy end. I thought I would like that kind of end myself.

Humans are also loud when they become deaf, and dogs, at 17 years old, may have dementia or deafness, which is worrisome.
Is the owner around? If he has an appetite and can walk on his own, going for a short walk is a good idea.
I would also suggest that you talk to your vet and get him something like a tranquilizer ?.

The problem is that you and your partner have different opinions. The Lord may want to try earplugs or noise-canceling earphones to listen to music for now. And if the Lord is taking care of this old dog, how about asking your partner to take care of everything? Since you say you are at your limit, I think it is important to get away from anything that could be a burden for now.

I know it's hard, but if you replaced your dog with a person, you wouldn't say you wanted to euthanize him. If I had to put it in your place, if you had dementia and cried and screamed for hours every day and your family said they wanted to euthanize ?
you would first consult a veterinarian. Also, as others have said, if he is an old dog, he may be anxious because his eyesight and hearing may be impaired. Can't you stay with him as much as possible, pet him and talk to him?

This all depends on the person.
When I get dementia...
Sometimes I think about euthanasia if I could.
Of course I don't want to willingly choose death, but I have the underlying thought that I don't want to cause trouble for my family. There are not a few people who have such thoughts.

I wonder if Korean-affiliated stores do not purchase from outside vendors? As I have said many times, no single market has the capacity to hire a chef to cook bento and sashimi. Also, if you want to cook raw food in one market, you have to build a kitchen that meets the standards of the California Department of Health, and there is no room for such a kitchen in one market. Every market has an outside vendor deliver bento boxes and sashimi. I have an acquaintance who works for an outside vendor.

However, if the market has a food court, each vendor in the food court has its own cook. However, they do not make bento/sashimi in the market there.

People who are good at DYI

Question

Hi ! I have a question to ask for the wisdom of someone who is good at DYI.

If the surface of a table or desk has become bumpy due to deterioration, I would sand it and apply some sort of varnish, but I am looking for a way to avoid a sticky surface after completion.

I can't say it well, but I want to avoid a situation where the paper sticks to the surface when I put it down to write, or the paint temporarily sticks to each other.

I wish I could lay something down, but it is difficult to find a material that is perfect and easy to work with.

If you have any information on how and what to use, please let me know 🙏

Any other ideas are welcome.

Right now I just want to get the surface of the coffee table clean and ready for study.

Thank you very much.

I know DYI stands for DIY ( Do It Yourself ).

> I am looking for a way to avoid a sticky surface after completion.

If you use paints or varnishes (Varnish ・ Varnish∈ Varnish))》it is inevitable that it will be sticky for a long time after painting.

The instructions on those paint cans say "wait at least hours (days) for the paint to dry ( ) do not touch it".

I am also a patient child after applying paint for at least a couple of days. After all, the surface of the paint looks best.

If you want to use the paint right after it is applied, there are also vinyl sheets with a wood grain pattern on the back side.
This can be completed by peeling off the protection sheet on the glue side and stretching it so that it does not crease the surface of the furniture.

These products should be available on the market, but I could not find them on homedept.com.
Also, these products have a vinyl-like surface and are more easily scratched than paint.

Painting furniture and room walls requires a lot of time and effort as surface prep is 'life'.
Shortcuts will yield dismal results.

I have not had any trouble. I have reclaimed a number of desks and tables and they are dry in 24 hours.

The coat may be too thick ? I usually sand clean and stain before I coat.

I also do at least 3 coats. Each time I polish with a fine sandpaper and apply another coat over it.

So far this has worked fine. It is a good idea to read the instructions and precautions on the back of the can.

However, the ones that say you can do it in one go do not work very well.

I'm still sanding my coffee table clean ( from a coarseness of 80 to 250 in stages ) and I'm still working on it.

After this I stain and coat.

I think you are applying it thickly ? My experience, still working on the coffee table, then it is dry the next day. I also do 3 coats. Each time I polish with 400 roughness and apply a top coat. It dries somewhat after a few hours. You have to read the instructions for the coating you are using carefully. Also, sanding is polishing. I gradually polish from a coarseness of 80 to 400. Then I stain and finish with a coat. A cheap brush is no good.

You have to be in a hurry.
