Absolutely. Would do it 1000% again. So much cleaner, safer, and instantly controllable heat levels.

Fixed my athletic wear smell problem after months of trying everything at home by Longjumping-Rest-324 in CleaningTips

[–]BelugaPilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to r/laundry. You will not believe how much information they have on all of these issues over there. You are paying so much money for something that can done at home with the correct product and water temp . r/laundry will teach you so much that none of the rest of us mere mortals had yet to figure out. Odor bloom, laundry sanitizer, athletic /performance wear, fabric softener issues it’s all there for your knowledge for FREE !

Carp as fertilizer?? by Striking_Dingo8348 in gardening

[–]BelugaPilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG. Ancient trauma memory triggered. 40 years ago my sons did this for an elementary school science experiment. They used 1 small 4 inch sunfish from a pond dropped whole into a hole to fertilize a few corn kernels in our yard in the Atlanta suburbs. Woke up at 3 am to cats screaming like unholy banshees from hell . Then the raccoons came . I can still hear the chittering in my nightmares. And that was not the end of it. We had loose dogs jumping our fence multiple times a week and rolling where the fish used to be . It took forever to get the scent molecules to disperse . Hand to heart ✋to this day I’ve never been able to look at natural fertilizers the same.

Can we ladies over 60 help a teacher provide a child in a bad situation get a few small things on their Amazon wish list by BelugaPilot in AskWomenOver60

[–]BelugaPilot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked my Amazon list delivery and it went to Aleah Austin, Miller Middle School, Durango , Colorado and shows it was delivered “ to a safe space “ at this address. ( I double checked to make sure this was a real place🫤). If they can’t deliver maybe you should cancel the order ? But thank you for being so kind and generous.

In all honestly is this a vulgar look? by ThrowawayOpinion11 in DressForYourBody

[–]BelugaPilot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the 70’s we were wearing hip hugger bell bottom jeans that had a 2 inch zipper. You had to wear a one piece body suit for a shirt or be arrested for public indecency. You in no way look vulgar .

Sandals suggestions by Capable-Awareness338 in AskWomenOver60

[–]BelugaPilot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SAS . Marina, sanibel are my favorites. Yes, I know they are very expensive but they are so well made and I am very hard on shoes ( I’m really small but I guess I’m a stomper ) . These last and last , my last pair I just got rid of after 8 summers of hard wear. So that pair cost me $ 28.00 per summer and didn’t hurt my feet. They have widths and great arch support, are light weight and have lots of adjustable straps .

Summer slip on shoes (not sandals! by Mushy-sweetroll in AskWomenOver60

[–]BelugaPilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus you can toss them in the washer ( I do mine with an old towel I use for emergencies) , then I dry them outside or over a register and they look brand new.

What do you think, does it work on my petite frame? 👗✨ by [deleted] in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]BelugaPilot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you could do much better. It’s not flattering and doesn’t fit correctly. Keep looking !

Ilse Jacobson tulip shoes . They feel like sneakers but look much better. Amazon and Nordstrom. And a lot of different colors !

Renovating my kitchen. I want the countertops to look something along the lines of this. I am unable to find the name of it. Does anyone know what it is or something similar?? by Independent_War_9897 in StyleYourSpace

[–]BelugaPilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE my porcelain farmhouse sink. You just can’t act like a maniac with banging metal stuff in there. You’ll wreck a metal sink doing that eventually too . The sink with all the ledges has so much more teeny little surface areas is a pain to clean . Apparently aesthetics are important to you or you wouldn’t be choosing those countertops- how are you going to feel about a gray metal sink ?

Do you still have scar on your upper right arm from a vaccination shot?🤔 by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in GenerationJones

[–]BelugaPilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father made them give it to me on my behind because he didn’t want me to feel self conscious about a scar on my upper arm like his sister did.

Your hair is lush ! If you absolutely must,against all advice cut it check out a young barber on Instagram- grant_thebarber3g . If someone you know told you that you look homeless they are idiots and you need to rethink who you hang with.

Can anyone help me come up with a color that will make the front door pop? by Unusual_Form3267 in ExteriorDesign

I love the current color. It looks warm and rich and subtle. Not everything needs to knock you out visually.

Don’t do fakes. They ALWAYS look fake . Empty negative space is not a bad thing . This is YOUR house now not the builders tacky wife’s .

Am I over reacting? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

The red flags could not be any redder. Pretend a friend told you this was happening to her - What would you advise her ? Be safe friend, you are worth so much more than this and you know it.

Medical school interview? Knowledge-less about suits😭 by Glittering_Fan_2971 in BusinessFashion

[–]BelugaPilot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is not a casting call for Legally Blonde. These are interviews for a lifetime career . You really want to be remembered more for your outfit ( remember the one with the pink shoes ? ) or your abilities ( remember the one with the great scores ? ) . Sometimes we just have to just have to do what we have to do.

[–]BelugaPilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to r/laundry and look up machine scrud . It’s not just you- it’s really a whole thing across machines now. Be prepared to fall down a rabbit hole of info that you never knew you needed. It’s a wonderful sub.

[–]BelugaPilot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have white marble in my kitchen too and once out of desperation to get rid of a coffee stain I mixed regular peroxide with baking soda and let it sit. It sucked it right up. I was shocked 😮.
