Fire TV App as RemoteFor some reason our Amazon fire stick remote stopped working. I changed the batteries several times and tried troubleshooting before thinking of purchasing a remote replacement.

Litterless Cat BoxHere is a free and cleaner way to have a cat box. After 30 years of being a cat parent, I have found that by simply lining newspaper inside a litter box, it is much more cleaner, not as time consuming, and free with newspaper donations. Plus, you are recycling newspapers.

Value and Era of a Bassett Dresser?So I bought this at the Salvation Army about 6 years ago for my elementary aged son. I never looked at the brand. Except for some dings where the handles are, the dresser has been a pretty solid piece over the years. I saw a Bassett stamp on the inside and did a search, shocked by how expensive their furniture is (I don't think I spent over $50 for it).
Value of "Eureka Special" in Working Condition?I've been able to discover my old mower was made by the Eureka Planter Company, likely in the late 40s (apparently the metal handle came in late in the 40s). It still works well and seems to be in quite good condition for its age. Any thoughts on value?
Identifying a Porcelain Doll?I would love to find out some information about this doll that I was given. I cannot find any markings on it, but from the shoes it looks like it's older.

Sharing Expenses with a Live-in Boyfriend?I moved with my bf. We had an argument with him regarding sharing the expenses. He is not clear and just told me that couples help each other. I'm gonna leave my job to move with him, but as of now I don't have source of income. We were at the grocery he told me we need to share at least half. I thought he was kidding me and when we were at the counter he told the cashier to split it.
Age and Value of a Silver Thimble?Can anyone tell me how old and how much this thimble could be worth? I can't find a sterling mark as of yet.
Is This a Murphy Chair?I recently purchased this chair from Facebook Marketplace for $60. I was wondering if it may be an antique Murphy chair. It has the unique designs that look identical to a Murphy chair. No labels or stamps on it though to tell what company made it. It has a beautiful design on the upper back and wicker seat. I am just wondering if I got a treasure and didn't realize it!
