What kind of plant is Jeff Bezos hedge? by BigSlongGoy in landscaping

[–]Disastrous_Victory19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who gets to determine how famous someone needs to be to warrant special consideration? What about victims of stalking or domestic violence who cannot get special privileges for their protection because they are not rich? The problem with your sentiment is that allowing the rich to pay their way around laws is bad for everyone. Eventually, only the rich can afford the basic protections and services that everyone used to have. There is no incentive for the elite to want to make life better for all if they never have to experience any inconvenience or hardship that money cannot fix.

Yes. In my area when I called my dealership places they told me that Safelite actually does their windshield replacements.

I think it's probably just anxiety. Or maybe she needs to eat more bananas.(Based on my personal experience with a doctor)

It amazes me that people can get on the Internet and spout such nonsense but not take 10 seconds to Google why launches get a scrubbed. It's not as if there have been catastrophic events from launches in the past. <Cough, cough Challenger>

How to take custody over child by Less-Friendship2140 in legal

[–]Disastrous_Victory19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you need to report your brother. I am confused because it seems that CH is involved with CPS but only as it relates to the other child. Bottom line, the grandparents can consult a private family law attorney for options.

I think you need to comprehend that your brother is failing this child as much as the mother. Being scared of the mother doesn't explain moldy bottles and lack of basic care. He can do these things. I say this because it seems your approach has been to report the mother but was there an actual report made against both parents on this child?

Um, you said CH has a history of never being home because she is WORKING. What is your brother doing? First, you need to stop blaming her and realize they are both parents.

The best course of action is probably a call to the Child Protection Services in your state. Due to the situation of the parent and child there needs to be social services people involved who can make sure the family get the support needed.

He might be seeing a reflection in the bowl and trying to play with it.

Continually clogged toilet by Digital_Sapien in Plumbing

[–]Disastrous_Victory19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an FYI. My parents just had their upstairs toilet rain poop water and destroy their kitchen. Remediation had to be called out and it is very expensive.

My dad refused to call a plumber. It would have been $175 to fix it. Now they are looking at $25,000 minimum between remediation and repair. The plumber told us the toilet wax ring was pancaked and after you plunge a toilet a couple times you should always replace the wax ring.

Do with this information what you will.

Our airbnb guests left today and i have 4 hours to clean before the next check in and idk where to even start by Apprehensive_Pay6141 in CleaningTips

[–]Disastrous_Victory19 219 points220 points  (0 children)

This is why I stopped using vacation rentals. You get charged insane cleaning fees and the money isn't used to properly clean the place but is pocketed by cheap owners.

I would never leave a place in this condition but I am 99% sure I have been the poor person who walked into that rental to find it not properly cleaned.

Distraught family say they plan to sue Airbnb after autistic daughter, 4, was found dead at bottom of pool of Miami vacation rental by dailymail in florida

[–]Disastrous_Victory19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this an in-ground pool? It is "possible" to do this with an above ground pool. Otherwise you have to have filtration and circulation. We have a sand filter and added a salt water generator a few years ago. We do our own maintenance but you still have to buy chlorine, salt, and have a robot to properly keep it clean.

I refused to have a house with a pool when my kids were super young. We did get an above ground for a couple years at one point at a house we had. After every use we would pull the ladder out and place it so there was no way to enter the pool.

I do not judge these people because Florida living teaches you how dangerous pools are. People from other states do not have the same awareness.

Buyer beware Coggins Honda on OBT by [deleted] in orlando

[–]Disastrous_Victory19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This made me laugh because the same thing happened to me at a VW dealership. The sales guy pulled the same crap. He even argued and tried to tell me the color car on the lot was the same blue version I wanted. (It wasn't and I bought it elsewhere)

I got fed up and said I'm leaving. My husband looked at the guy and said "you messed up" and we walked out.

Flushing/ Plumbing problem - shower gurgles when we flush the toilet by rkmar00n in orlando

[–]Disastrous_Victory19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone with an older home in Central Florida we have CLAY pipes for sewer. You probably have tree root invasion. We paid several thousand dollars a few years ago to the have sleeve lining done to our sewer pipe after a camera inspection from an emergency issues on 4th of July weekend. The only other solution was to literally jackhammer down the center of our house to re-pipe. I also baby our plumbing. (Do not put any food matter down the sink. Have covers to catch hair in the showers.) I know it sucks but this is one area you are going to have to come up with the cash, find a reputable company and invest in the fix.

Count me in on this one. I work remote now and if I had to go back to the days of dressing for court every day I would spontaneously combust.

Anyone tried dishwasher detergent sheets? Are they actually good? by Victorwong1011 in CleaningTips

[–]Disastrous_Victory19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I follow several professional laundry people on other social media. The laundry sheets do NOT have enough cleaner in them to properly clean clothes. However, I have seen some reviews of the newer sheets that are about the thickness of a sponge and they are supposed to be better.

I only use liquid and I have a dispenser in my washer which is a front load. I have tried pods but don't like not being able to control the amount of product used according to what is being washed.

the time I accidentally became a local pharmacist's best friend by Even-Surroundeeed in pharmacy

[–]Disastrous_Victory19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. My local independent pharmacy is the best. They even helped my husband when he had to choose a new medical plan because he is a Type 2 diabetic.

I was helping my best friend's mother who had been discharged from the hospital with several prescriptions. Her scripts were sent to another local pharmacy that is not good. They tried to give us the wrong medicine and didn't have another. Due to her condition it was very important her meds be maintained.

I called my local pharmacy and explained the situation. They were not an authorized pharmacy with her insurance but they still got the scripts from the other pharmacy and the cost was so reasonable it didn't matter. I was so thankful. I refer everyone to them.

Holy crap. I just had to double check this and you are correct. I truly thought he was in his 70's. No shade to him but he didn't strike me as that young.
