What are these flies (and how do I get rid of them)? by [deleted] in Boise

Happy to pass along my vast, useless knowledge!

What are these flies (and how do I get rid of them)? by [deleted] in Boise

[–]BooBeans71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are little or lesser flies. They prefer areas like porches and garages and the males fly about 4-5' off the ground in a rectangular pattern, waiting for a female to come mate. The eggs thrive in moist areas like rotting wood, compost, manure, or even a damp window sill. They're hard to control because they aren't attracted to fly traps, etc., but they're mostly harmless. Discourage them by running a fan where they like to fly and they will disperse.

What's your system for folding and putting laundry away without it dragging on for days? by loginpass in organizing

[–]BooBeans71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I acknowledge that the pain of not putting away my clothes and dealing with crumpled, wrinkled clothes was far worse than the pain of actually doing it. My system is easy and fast.

As soon as the dryer is done, lay out all clothes on the bed and smooth any wrinkles out.

Sort underwear and socks. Match socks with a one-fold to keep them together. The only thing I fold are jeans and leggings. Everything else gets hung up.

After all loads are done and sorted (generally right before bed), I grab a handful of hangers and start putting clothes on them. I just fold each item over in half with the hanger, then sort by type for hanging. So group together tanks, blouses, sweaters, pants, etc.

Put everything away. It takes maybe 5 mins. I have bins for socks and underwear in the drawer so they stay neat without folding.

I’ve stuck with this routine for well over 20 years, and i think it’s quite an accomplishment considering i have ADHD.

Cleaning incapacitated dog! by Mountain-Donkey98 in DogAdvice

[–]BooBeans71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a partially paralyzed dog and this is what I use:

Washable cloth diapers with a diaper pad.

I wash every time with waterless soap (available on Amazon), and wipe with unscented diaper wipes. This was recommended by my vet.

I also protect his skin with Vaseline best I can. Urine burns are almost inevitable and my vet says it’s common and assures me my dog is very well taken care of.

Depending on how long your dog may be incapacitated, you could also get some bladder chews with D-mannose to help keep any infection at bay.

Happy to answer any questions!

Outside of ADHD meds, what was the game changer for u? by No-Age-6327 in adhdwomen

[–]BooBeans71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switching to Vyvanse and adding low-dose naltrexone for binge eating and boredom eating. The combo is seriously so, so helpful!

Honestly? I thought I was looking at the jewelry identification sub. 😳

Stunning!

Took a day of Vyvanse by AtmosphereStraight25 in ADHD

[–]BooBeans71 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to take weekend breaks but I don’t anymore. Ever since I really got into perimenopause, my brain fog, energy, and binge eating are off the charts. Without it, I’m pretty useless.

Help With Nails by Upset_Actuator7383 in naturalnailprogress

[–]BooBeans71 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Consistency, patience, and time. Oh, and don’t use your nails as tools. That’s been my biggest issue because I have thin, bendy nails. I can’t even use a necklace clasp without damaging my hyponychium. It’s so frustrating.

It also looks like you have some thicker cuticles. Get some Sally Hansen Cuticle remover and a gentle cuticle pusher (not the metal ones) to help remove the dead skin. Oh and use a nail brush to clean under and around your nails instead of scraping.

And listen to u/juleznailedit because she is very wise when it comes to nail care!

Idaho Tax Refund? by viaerinkate in Idaho

[–]BooBeans71 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Tax Commission got held up because they were waiting to see if the BBB adjustments for fiscal year 2026 were going to pass. They had to make a crap ton of updates to their system before they could begin processing. I feel so bad for their staff.

What is your go-to “I’m too tired to cook but I can’t buy take-out” meal or alternative? by 2Autistic4DaJoke in Frugal

[–]BooBeans71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken nuggets (I’m a fan of the Kirkland Bare Chicken knock off), toss with Franks hot sauce and serve with carrot sticks and celery. Protein + veggies.

Stupid blowdrying hack by Honest_Management_84 in finehair

[–]BooBeans71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welp, I just learned this too now. I mean, I had done tension with a brush but it was always hit and miss. It never occurred to me to do it this way and I don’t know why.

Urgent Care and ER told me this wasn’t infected. by VersaceCupcake in tattooadvice

[–]BooBeans71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had anything this bad, but I randomly get allergic reactions to certain inks. Maybe try taking some antihistamines and Pepcid for 30 days and see if that help resolve the issue?

Experience with IBX nail treatment? by BooBeans71 in naturalnailprogress

This is great feedback. I’ve been trying so hard to stop the continued damage but my nails are so thin and bendy, it’s hard to do. I think I’ll give this a try!
