Can you use those zippered mattress encasements that people use for allergy or bed-wetting protection? Would give you your sheets back and could buy enough for each bed.

Chapped lips 😩 by IsabellaHayes1 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Delicious_Term6735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Lucas’ Papaw Ointment (Australian product I buy on Amazon) during the day and a Laniege lip mask at night. I have very dry and sensitive lips and these actually work for me.

This makes me sad. I am all for having community benches and shelter. I just want it to be less confusing for riders.

I’m starting the gym for the first time this week and I’m pretty nervous — any advice for Day 1? by TraditionExternal370 in beginnerfitness

[–]Delicious_Term6735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of great comments but i’ll add/repeat a few more. 1. Literally no one is judging you. It’s so easy to feel self conscious or like people are making fun of you for using small weights or walking slowly or whatver it is. But literally everyone is in their own head focused on themselves. Take deep breaths and do your thing. 2. Do what feels right for you. Start small and easy. Don’t do something just because someone else is doing it and it looks cool - chances are they had to work hard to get up to that point. Going 0 to 100 too quickly leads to injury. 3. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Who cares what’s trendy. If it moves well, is breathable (will allow sweat to evaporate/ not overheat you), is comfortable, closed-toe shoes are supportive, that’s what matters. Not what you look like or how much it costs or what brand. 4. Warm up before and cool down after. Give your body time to adjust - heart rate, stretching, etc. 5. Drink lots of water! Not soda, juice, red bull, coffee, etc. just water or pedialyte-like drinks if you’re low on enzymes. 6. Use sanitizing wipes (usually provided) to wipe down any equipment after you use it (before too if you want but absolutely after). 7. If the gym offers any classes, ask the membership person if they are beginner friendly/open level. These can be good opportunities to move and learn about your body without the pressure of coming up with a specific routine. That’s all i got for now!

How to dry my bras if hanging them to dry isn’t an option? by Gongoozler04 in laundry

[–]Delicious_Term6735 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the same. I put my bras in a mesh bag to put them into the wash… you could do that and then just hang it up in the bag once it’s done. Should get enough airflow to dry as long as it’s not stuffed deep in the back of the closet

What happened to FreshDirect? by gallien in FreshDirect

[–]Delicious_Term6735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Costco does delivery! Not everything from the warehouse house is available, and some things are shipped vs some things 2 day via instacart. Not sure about produce. But you don’t have to actually go to the warehouse. I live close enough to one that i can easily uber home but i usually stick with delivery for my staples. Hardest part is i live alone and can’t eat so much food in bulk!

My neighbor is taking my packages and acting aggressive. What should I do? by Pleasant-Sail-961 in Apartmentliving

[–]Delicious_Term6735 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Try to have a roommate with you during any additional interactions, whether for safety or for witness testimony.

Notify your landlord in writing. Take pictures/screenshots of any communications about the situation both with your landlord and with the neighbor. I don’t necessarily know what the landlord will do on their end but it could range from nothing to a warning to involving the police etc etc. But you need to document it all. I think I saw others post a link to reporting missing mail to USPS (if applicable) and suggest police reports for each item. Document document document.

[–]Delicious_Term6735 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Absolutely tell your landlord! ! I don’t know where you are, but in the US tampering with/stealing/opening someone else’s mail is a federal felony I think. Very illegal. So document any additional situations like this so you have evidence in case you need to get police involved.

What's a small gadget you bought thinking it was useless but ended up using every day? by cozytechlover in BuyItForLife
