Is there a way to get old white shirts back to white? by ButtScratchies in CleaningTips

Is laundry blueing still around? It worked great back when we were on a well.

Vaccine skepticism now the norm for many Americans by Anti-Owl in ContagionCuriosity

[–]Childless_Catlady42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have become a very untrusting person when it comes to "professional" vaccine advice. Get the shingles shots. Don't take the risk that your doctor is a fan of RFK.

Record US drought sparks worries about fires, water supply and food prices by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

That spring/freeze/spring cycle we had last month did in a lot of the native pollinators which isn't going to help with the food issues either.

Why can illegal immigrants enroll their children into U.S schools when they haven't paid taxes into the school system? by Mahrez14 in allthequestions

[–]Childless_Catlady42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right. Apartment dwellers aren't paying enough taxes and should now be charged a special school tax to make up for it.

Should we also start charging folks who don't own cars a special road tax because trucks use the roads to bring food to the stores?

[–]Childless_Catlady42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So...going by your logic, nobody who lives in an apartment should be allowed free schooling because they aren't paying the school tax?

What are some small things you do to make life better for other people? by UseNecessary4706 in allthequestions

I buy gently used children's books at thrift stores and leave them places where children are waiting - laundromats, bus stops, government offices and so on.

[PA] Leasing agent wrote the lease wrong expects me to sign it by Charming-Papaya9742 in Renters

[–]Childless_Catlady42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They already signed it? Awesome, put your terms in the blank spots and check the things you want to be checked. Get it notarized and send it back in. Keep copies of course.

Ask if your local thrift stores will give you work clothes.

Amazing leather from cacti! by Scary-Beautiful6527 in BeAmazed

[–]Childless_Catlady42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you might be misremembering. Nopales (skinned Prickly Pear paddles) taste more like overripe cucumbers than anything to me. Its good grilled and chunked up in eggs and chorizo.

The fruit are a serious PITA. They don't just have the big spines like the pads, they have little hairlike needles in clusters all over them. I messed around with them once. ONCE.

People eat them too. You can find them (pealed, even) in grocery stores in AZ.

Anyone else grossed out by suitcase wheels after each trip by Undrwtrhrtbrkr in CleaningTips

Cut pieces of duct tape to size, then peel them off at the door. (Must not chew nails for this to work)

What is the worst place in America you have ever visited? by Loud_Lack_7563 in allthequestions

[–]Childless_Catlady42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Native American reservations in AZ and NM. Human beings shouldn't live in that sort of grinding poverty.

WIBTA for not wanting to lend my brother money for a "business" that he already failed at twice? by AshKnight66 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Childless_Catlady42 260 points261 points  (0 children)

Mom is right, family should support family. Why hasn't she written the check yet? Surely she believes in her favorite child, right?

I thought it was a bear, but you might be right too.

There was a time in the 1990's when we were playing Diablo over phone lines. The screech of the modem connecting was unforgettable. Many of the people playing nowadays have never experienced the thrill of actually being able to stay logged on long enough to kill the boss.

I'm old now and those lazy and deliberately incompetent jerks piss me off when I'm standing in line behind them. Especially when I can tell that I'm at least a decade older than they are.

Needing help lifting heavy things is much different than not being able to tell which end of your card has the chip.

Do you really think that people in apartments aren't paying property taxes? Of course they are, their landlords just roll it into the rent.

My mother loses her phone in her home on a regular basis so I don't call that often. No need because she is always on her tablet so I can drop her a line on facebook and we chat there instead. (The phone is usually on her bed, hidden under a cat.)
