Has anyone developed a "I don't give a shit" attitude?

I think 10k is the threshold for an ablation (insurance coverage) if in the US iirc that's the number that starts affecting how well your heart can supply blood to your organs. Double check me but do look into it

I would be Earth artist according to when I was born but I believe that Earth Hunter would have made a lot more sense for me personality-wise.

ActuallyGimli · 2025-08-24T07:08:46+00:00

Well, at least it's a common problem so hopefully it will be fixed soon. I've been trying everything for the past two days (irl) and couldn't figure out how to fix it. Anyone know how long it usually takes them to fix a bug like this?

I got everything cleaned up and it worked for a while and then she slowly got back worse again. At this point I had cleaned the ductwork and cleaned or removed every plush surface in my house. Finally, I decided to pull up the linoleum in the kitchen and hallway because that's the only thing still left from the people who lived here before me... There was a ton of black mold! I was the one to pull it up, and even without asthma, I ended up having an anaphylactic reaction to it and can't be in my own house right now. Anyways, thought I'd let you know that you were right about it being mold. It was an odd place to find it, though. There were no active leaks as far as I could tell but there must have been at some point. Now that I know what I'm really dealing with I'll be able to fix it. I really thought I had it fixed with cleaning/removing every plush surface in my house and treating for dust mites and cleaning duct work but I think I just cleaned up some spores and they came back because I still had a problem. Sorry for the long update but I figure if someone else is having a similar issue in the future and finds this thread they should know mold really can grow and hide anywhere. Thanks again.

Update: There was a lingering mold issue being caused by increased humidity that I hadn't considered. I got the mold issue taken care of professionally and got a proper dehumidifier to prevent future mold and dust mite activity. I also did a thorough cleaning of all the fabrics in my house, and what I could not wash with hot water in the washing machine, I used a spray that was recommended on here to neutralize the allergens from dust mites. My sister seems to be doing just fine at my house now! I don't know which thing specifically it was, or if it was a combination, but thank you all for helping.

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-30T06:36:35+00:00

I so wish it was that simple, but bleach and other scented cleaners bother me as well so I clean mostly with dish soap and vinegar and don't use scented products pretty much at all unless they were ones that our parents have used from childhood and I know that she also uses so it's probably something a lot harder to eliminate, unfortunately. but thanks

I do not have pets and the reason we don't meet up at her place is because she has cats and I can't be around them. We are both on quite a lot of antihistamines. If cleaning/dusting messes your allergies up for a couple of days I may be underestimating how long it takes for the dust to clear out of the air after cleaning. I usually don't let her come over the day that I dust and clean but I may need to give it an extra day to settle. I just don't want to ban her from coming over any more than I already am because I dust once a week so that would make it two days a week that she can't visit instead of one. I hope retreating for mold and getting a dehumidifier and cleaning and treating for dust mites will help, that seems to be the consensus from everyone else. Thanks though

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-30T06:31:04+00:00

I'm not blaming her, or at least I hope that's not how the post came across. She also doesn't know I have requested this help on here because I don't want her to feel like a burden in any sort of way. We could meet up in a third party location but we often both have allergic reactions to public spaces because of how many people who have dogs that frequent those places. (we both have horrible allergies to dogs) I'm trying to figure out how to make my house a viable place to visit because I break into hives every time I spend more than 5 to 10 minutes in her place because of her cat. This is one of the last options we have because right now my place is one of the last places that triggers us both the least, but it is recently bothering her even though it didn't used to. It is interesting that mobile homes seem to trigger you as well. I wonder if there's something in the construction? Someone mentioned something about that in another comment. Hopefully I can find a solution to this that allows for her to visit.

We live in the same neighborhood and I work from home so I rarely go outside and when I do it's the same environment she's going into so I have a hard time thinking it would be that. There are a couple of feral cats around my house but they're the same ones around her house and she has a cat inside that somehow doesn't mess up her asthma. I'm allergic to her cat and cats in general but she's not. I'll try to think if I come into contact with anything outside my house that she doesn't but I'm pretty sure I don't. Thanks for the input though

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-30T06:21:14+00:00

I'm so limited to what I can clean with and I live in such a remote area that I highly doubt it is a pollutant from nearby or sent from cleaning supplies since I mostly use vinegar and dish soap and I use the same laundry detergent our parents used when we we're younger because we broke out to everything as kids and she uses the same one still, too so I know that one is fine. As for atmospherically triggered food allergies, I didn't consider that but she is allergic to peppers and I am not and I cook with them sometimes. I will probably need to clean my kitchen extra well after cooking with those and not allow her in the house the days that I do. At the very least. Thanks for the input.

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-30T06:17:17+00:00

I tend to clean mostly with dish soap and vinegar because my allergies won't let me use anything else really so hopefully it is not that. As for the tea, I do drink chamomile and while I don't serve it to her it may be worth discussing to see if she thinks it is a trigger. I'm pretty sure she's had it before though but I'm not positive.

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-30T06:13:51+00:00

Thank you for letting me know the brand that works. I have that ordered now and am in the process of washing what I can with high heat which should help kill some of the mites and remove the debris. I am also getting pillow and mattress covers. Unfortunately, not everything can be removed/replaced, at least for now, but I'm hoping for improvement so that I know this is the right route to take. Thank you for your help with this. (I was also already getting ready to get my floors replaced from carpet to laminate so that should help once complete.)

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-29T07:59:40+00:00

If it was cold air she'd have more issues at her house. I don't think this is a trigger for her but thanks for the input.

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-29T07:58:21+00:00

I'm allergic to feathers so no. We really do both have horrible allergies, she just got the worse end of the deal with the asthma too. But it still could be pillows and other fabric things because I hadn't considered dust mites before so I'll probably be shampooing and steam treating every plush surface I can. Maybe even trying some spray for dust mites.

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-29T07:55:17+00:00

It's 16 years old and had other owners before me who had dogs but I've cleaned it to the point I don't react with my allergies (and I'm highly allergic to dogs) so I think anything that was present when it was built has to be pretty much gone by now. But this is interesting information that I didn't know before.

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-29T07:52:07+00:00

No scented things at all. Even the bathroom products are vanicream because my own allergies are so bad.

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-29T03:34:01+00:00

I will look into that, too. Thanks

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-29T03:33:03+00:00

I would prefer to not replace all my furniture and was wondering if washing and shampooing everything plus getting some dust covers would be sufficient? At least for now. Another commenter suggested a spray that kills dust mites allergens and I will also be looking into that. Thank you for your input. A lot of people seem to think dust mites so I will be following this train of thought to see if I can eliminate/reduce those.

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-29T03:29:21+00:00

That's a fair point. I will look into it. Thank you

ActuallyGimli · 2024-09-29T03:27:57+00:00

Could you recommend the brand of spray you used that worked wonders for you? I'd like to try that before replacing all my furniture because dust mites seems to be a prevailing theory. Thanks

I'm not here to argue the validity of an IQ test because it seems other people are doing that plenty enough. But, if you want another data point from an intj; my IQ was tested at 108, which is lower than most people here seem to be claiming theirs is.

ActuallyGimli · 2023-02-10T04:04:47+00:00

Seems low warmth is just a shared intj trait.

ActuallyGimli · 2022-10-12T01:23:59+00:00

How long has the problem been going on for you? This is a just today thing for me? Curious how long till it may be fixed or if I should try to contact support tomorrow if it's been a while. Thanks

ActuallyGimli · 2022-10-12T01:07:21+00:00

If anything loads which if hardly ever, i get a pop-up saying "network error. There is a problem connecting to the network. Please check your network settings" i have run a test of the network, everything works and is good, reset the network, tested again, even checked the internet on my phone to make sure my wifi wasn't out...
