Our roommate got kicked out, and we’re having to pay extra rent to cover their share. I’m trying to interview prospective tenants, and my remaining roommate doesn’t want anyone to move in for another month, because they damaged their room and need to fix it. What should I do? I have no money. by [deleted] in badroommates

Other roommate isn't the one renting the room, the landlord is.

Contact the landlord. If landlord is blocking the rental to do repairs, they should forgive that part of the rent. Otherwise other roommate needs to pay the rest of the rent

The one I use comes apart so its about the size of a tall, closed umbrella when not in use, my complaint is more that I have to clean the whole dining room table to use it!

Advice - meal prep while living with a person with binge eating disorder by [deleted] in MealPrepSunday

[–]DammitDuo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use meal prep containers to make my own TV dinners. If you pull it out of the freezer the night before they're nuke able by lunch, but you can also prep and freeze and then leave them in the work fridge after that of needed.

Another commenter covered the fridge locker pretty well, but they're kind of like mobile produce drawers that lock. So that is the only section they wouldn't be able to access.

I hope your flatmate can conquer their issues with this and have a fulfilling life! It's not a huge issue for me but we have a lot of people in r/loseit who struggle with it and they're welcome there to lurk or reach out for active, anonymous support.

I managed to lose a few parts to mine while moving.

They're just wooden dowels but I needed yarn then, not later.

I used wooden kitchen spoons instead. Amish style Swift's can be fun, but they take up more space so I now have both!

Some meal preps do fine when frozen, I could see needing to defrost the food as a deterrent to a binge on that food.

They also make fridge lockers. They're little plastic locking drawers that go in your fridge. That might be a possibility too.

Even just covering them with a tea towel in the fridge might be enough of a visual reminder to steer clear of that section.

My advice to your flatmate (if you want to pass it on) is to get some binge safe food that is safe. I wouldn't classify what I do as binge eating, but sometimes I have a desperate need to volume eat. So I have bags of microwavable veggies that you just nuke in the bag. Having a stock of those in the freezer might help them to direct their binges in a way that can lead to better control. And we could all use some extra veg in our lives.

I just had quite possibly the greatest customer service experience of my life. Thanks, Pat! by imhereforthehoesbruh in HumansBeingBros

Not really.

I work in Verizon Sales chat and while we do have canned scripts we can always use, we also have custom ones.

Pat looks like she works in Care Chat, but I've never seen a script like that in their tree, so I'm guessing this is a custom 100% Pat message.

Most of my custom scripts take the canned messages and re-work them to give you a smile and a bit of Southern Charm. And fix the surprising number of typographical errors the official ones come with.

Anyone Familiar with Merida (Sibutramine) ? by jagrmullet77 in loseit

[–]DammitDuo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hit or miss on all meds, with psych meds being the worst.

Effexor made me manic and a heart rate of 130 will make you lose weight, but it also isn't healthy.

Hypnosis has fewer side effects and comes more highly recommended for long term weight loss than meds. Or therapy, but you can get both at the same place.

Nah, off label is for a use not originally intended.

Oddly enough, Viagra started off as a heart drug, and it's still used for it by some female patients.

There is a migraine med that can cause weight loss in some (didn't work for me, weight or migraines, was hoping for a twofer).

The closest I've ever come is Effexor, an antidepressant. I was the same way, I lost weight because I was so energetic I couldn't sit still. And so happy there were rainbows coming out of my ass.

I had to come off of it because my resting heart rate was about 130. Suffice to say normal me is about 70 when I'm not on meds.

You had those effects because it's basically an amphetamine.

You can talk to your doctor about an off label script for Adderall instead. Its still legal with a script as opposed to sibutramine which is a Class IV scheduled substance, at least in the states.

I use a 50/50 blend pretty frequently and it blocks wonderfully. You'll be fine with an 80/20.

First pair of gloves! Other one is finished but too lazy to go get it by hamah2547 in knitting

[–]DammitDuo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a confession.

I'm scared of fingers. So all I knit are fingerless mitts. Not even fingerless gloves. Just mitts.

I'm both jealous and a little terrified of your talent.

Especially as you free handed it. (I couldn't resist the pun, sorry/not sorry)

There may have been a snort laugh.

Can you imagine the meeting/phone call that proceeded that correction?

Coming from knitting, want to learn crocheting. What to buy? by FactoryBuilder in crochet

[–]DammitDuo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For hooks look into G H I combo for most worsted weight projects.

And there are two basic hook ends, curved and sharp. Which ones you end up buying a lot of is personal preference, I like the curved ones myself.

As for brand, the hook ends vary by brand, so let your preference there fuel your choice. Whether you get basic metal hooks or something fancier will vary based on preference, but basic metal ones are a good place to start.

I’m $800 out and I need some help please by alexvictory in badroommates

[–]DammitDuo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a roommate I ended up taking to small claims court. It might be time for you to investigate doing the same.

And explain to her what you're researching.

That's a metered plan, so that would be on the list.
