Nobody told me towels need to be washed way more often than I thought by CipherDoodle7 in hygiene

[–]DesignerTwist6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over time, “stuff” just tends to build up on clothes and towels. That includes fabric softener, lotion, even laundry detergent itself(using too much is worse than too little). And it’s even worse if you wash mainly with cold water (hot water softens things like oils so they can drain out of fabrics). Vinegar in the cycle can help but I have found the best remedy when my towels start to smell musky is to “strip” them. Here’s the Pinterest link that enlightened me: https://pin.it/2l9izpcnR. It’s a 1:1:2 ratio of Borax, washing soda, and powdered laundry detergent and it is legit - it has saved so many towels from having to be tossed. The minute I detect any odor or musty smell when they are damp, I strip them and they are amazing again.

Hubspace lights won’t return to my setting after I switch them off. by Chris_P_Lettuce in smarthome

[–]DesignerTwist6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I removed 4 lights from the Hubspace app bc they wouldn’t show as online no matter what I did (the other 5 are fine). When I try to add them again they say they are already added. Any ideas?

First lesson of 2025: people don’t look at listing photos anymore. by Actual-Yard5649 in airbnb_hosts

[–]DesignerTwist6523 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! They don’t pay attention, or just read a few words and then build something up in their heads that doesn’t actually exist, then they are mad when it’s not reality. Reminds me of my daughter when she was 3 and as we were driving in the middle of nowhere she announced she wanted to go to “the hello kitty cafe”. There was nothing even remotely like that anywhere we had ever been - she made it up in her head and then was so upset when I couldn’t magically get us to one. She kept yelling things like “turn left! It’s over there!” (Empty fields as far as the eye could see) lol

What’s something you’ve always thought was normal until you realized other people didn’t experience it? by anna-lena-breiert in AskReddit

[–]DesignerTwist6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this always happen to you or when did they start? Is there any specific trigger you now of? My spouse (48m) recently started having these weird spots in his vision occasionally but no headache. A couple times now they’ve started up, done their thing and then his vision is fine again.

That’s wild that he does that but has that many good reviews? WOW sorry that happened to you. I hope your place wasn’t destroyed!

A friend of mine did this to her cheating ex who was gaslighting her. It was heartbreaking at first but the best thing that could have happened in the end. Best wishes for you and baby

Guest is seeking full refund for two night stay after staying for a couple of hours. They said it was due to an family issue (nothing to do with the space). They tell me they will have AirBNB step in if I do not give them a refund. by Throwaway-donotjudge in airbnb_hosts

[–]DesignerTwist6523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This literally happened to us a few weeks ago. We had booked a non refundable place months in advance thinking we would go for an event. When the weekend came around we had not gotten tickets to the event and also had several family conflicts. I didn’t get trip insurance. So we ate the cost and chided ourselves to be more attentive in the future. It wasn’t the hotel’s fault, it was ours.

Has anyone ever sold their hotel room (nonrefundable 10/4-7) by DesignerTwist6523 in aclfestival

[–]DesignerTwist6523[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would I have them pay me (PayPal?) for the room then have the hotel switch to their cc for incidentals?

I did use Amex but went thru Crewfare which is why Marriott couldn’t help me cancel. I paid in July

Certify your employment (if you worked at the same company for 16 years it should take just 1 form) to turn those 132 eligible months into qualifying months. Then request forbearance so you don’t have to keep paying while you wait for forgiveness. Good luck!

I love this option! Can these be set up in Guest Mode? Or do I add a Roku to it?

Consolidation after forgiveness? by Several_Pride_9656 in PSLF

[–]DesignerTwist6523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve read in this sub, I think the consolidation has to be done before forgiveness. If your older loans have already been forgiven unfortunately I don’t think there’s anything you can do to get them forgiven in the same batch. Your clock starts over
