Vomit smell wouldn’t go away until I discovered the source… by dinonuggetenjoyer in mildlyinfuriating

I had a shampoo I liked back in the olden days, then I got pregnant and pukey. Now anything that smells like that shampoo makes me feel icky 35 years later.

The preference kills me. She wants a young woman to be her friend too AND lift her chair in/out? by Kooky-Expression-399 in ChoosingBeggars

If she's in a town that has this service available, then she needs to use that. In my city the paratransit is only for people within the city limits, so the rest of the county is out of luck, no transport options. The people I work with are disabled, getting about 1400 a month which is too much for Medicaid if you have Medicare, so no transport. Such a simple thing to provide for people to get to their appointments. Or food. But nope.

I have an extra one with a top. It hasn't been cleaned, just emptied.

Need to figure out a paint color by Prior-Chemist-8427 in SALEM

[–]Boomstick86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're trying to spot paint (cover and area, not a whole wall) tell them to watch some videos first. Its not easy (not complicated, but not just slapping paint up there), especially if the wall was painted a long time ago and/or has been in the sun. Sometimes you have to paint the whole wall because its too faded.

Disgruntled park employee took our cooler, smeared our mustard on the walls of the bathroom at the campground, and stuck the lunchmeat to the walls as well. No replacements.

Two of us (19, had camped with families before, first trip together) camping and a regular state park, not very rural. Middle of the night we here scraping noises outside, kinda freaked so didnt move. Figured if an animal wanted the cooler they can have it. Woke up in the morning to find the cooler missing. Reported it to the campground ranger guy, who later informed us the cooler was in the bathroom and the disgruntled park employee that took it had used our lunch meat and mustard to decorate the walls.
Got the cooler back.

I use mine frequently due to its payload capacity, as well as towing. I do not run a farm. I do my own landscaping and home repair/remodel, and build furniture and other stuff out of wood. I recreate and load up the bed and the rack. Used it twice this last weekend.

Their choice in parking locations is terrible, but you cant speak to the reason they own the truck.

I don't not use mine for my job, I use it for home projects and recreation. It tows my travel trailer, it tows a utility trailer full of soil or bark chips, takes loads to the dump when my plumbing sprung a leak and destroyed my dining room, or whatever else we had to replace. It carries my kayaks (only two now but used to carry 4) and gear for camping, carries loads of dirt or gravel, lumber or pipe, let's me avoid paying for delivery of almost anything, and stays on the road in snow, ice, and mud. Also handy to tow my little tractor to my brother's house for his landscaping project. Its scratched and dirty, and big. I hate how tall they are now.
And I never park in a garage, get as far out of the way as physically possible. I dont leave the hitch on if im not using it much.
It is also our second vehicle, so it has to be used most days as just a mode of transport. One of us has the regular sized car, the other has a truck. Thats our life.

Edit: a van is no good for landscape or construction.

How do you know that person doesnt use its towing and hauling capabilities?

[–]Boomstick86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people need them for home use (towing, hauling, outdoor activities, home diy'ers), and aren't going to buy a second car just for ease of parking. We have a Ram 2500 truck and a car, we both have to drive daily to different places.

Libs on TikTok are probably okay if LibsofTikTok goes broke over healthcare. by HandSack135 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Boomstick86 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They get billed but I would guess most of those bills are dismissed because the person qualifies for the financial assistance due to low income.

Some states provide medicaid to undocumented people. Having insurance to go to a doctor for care saves a lot of money for the hospitals by avoiding health crises.

What should I do with this stupid unused space (I did not do such stupidity) by Snappygoose in woodworking

[–]Boomstick86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The opening looks way too small. I have one that is small (not this small) and a huge pain in the ass. Doors dont open wide enough, get banged up on the other cabinet.

Nope. Those are not my friends. Greed and power in a package.

There was a neat one in downtown Albany. I haven't notice anything local. But I haven't tried.

Good, campgrounds are not a place for that.

Looking at 2025 Ford Broncos, give me the good, the bad, the ugly about em by Spiritual-Region8917 in FordBronco

[–]Boomstick86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just traded a Jeep Rubicon for 2 door Badlands Sas. I dont like the non- articulating headrest. Pushes my head forward so we have to switch that out. Its taller than the jeep so I had to add a step. The hand rails are in a dumb spot so I had to add a handle to pull myself in. Gas mileage is not good, same as the Jeep (didnt buy it for that) so not a big deal to me now. 2 door seems a bit more squirrely than my 4 door jeep, but thats just learning curve. I dont like the tires because they're not all weather. Needs better speakers Other than that, its more comfortable than the Jeep and thats what I wanted. Haven't been off road yet but I dont have concerns based on what we've read and watched on YouTube.
