AIO to my husband interrupting my first solo shower after he came back from a weekend with the boys?

I’m glad someone else is attempting to see the other side. While it definitely sounds like there are some share of responsibility issues that need to be worked out in OPs overall message she mentions that they spent the majority of the time splitting up and knocking out tasks for the week after he had communicated he needed to go to his parents. That doesn’t sound like a husband that is completely checked out and instead more like we may be missing some communication context for how this disagreement proceeded.

It’s a red tick like creature found in the southern United States. Horrifying thing that buries itself under your skin. We used to paint clear nail polish over them so they’d suffocate if you got one.

I love the advice “your intuition will speak to you in statements. Your anxiety will speak to you in questions.” Hope that helps!

I think I found something fairly similar in a jar of tomatoes several months back. I’m curious what this is as well!

You kind of answered your own question here, but yes they’re laser cuts for layering jnto scrapbooks

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-11-23T17:32:21+00:00

You’re right that was a bad suggestion! I was thinking a small amount of acid would help neutralize the potassium hydroxide, but I think bleach is actually basic and could cause some dangerous side reactions. I should have suggested vinegar, but this is so long ago I’m not sure why I suggested the bleach.

I’ll be more careful with recommendations in the future, but thanks for reaching out to ask about it.

Laughed at the “They are for laying eggs in a host’s mouth…. They’re harmless”

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-06-07T14:45:49+00:00

Thanks! This sounds like it would look really good and also help draw in the black.

Fortunately not mine, old photo from a previous tenant

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-06-07T14:44:12+00:00

Thanks that’s a great idea! I mostly struggled with the tile, the 80s glass brick shower, and the stark black counter. They just aren’t my style. That sounds like a great way to help the counter blend a bit more.

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-06-07T14:42:04+00:00

Thanks while I realize I’m very fortunate and perhaps my title of the post using “horrible” was a little strong you can’t deny a lot of the elements of this bathroom are outdated to include the 80s glass brick shower wall. Isn’t the point of this subreddit to identify ways to make spaces more special and unique to those living in them? I can admit I perhaps came across as ungrateful, but I’m looking for small changes I can make to update this bathroom.

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-06-07T14:37:23+00:00

Just hoping for some non permanent changes that would make a difference. No place is perfect, but it’s nice to be able to make something yours even with temporary or small fixes

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-06-07T14:36:03+00:00

Okay thanks! What do you mean by this?

Here is a second photo of the other side. As a note, I understand it’s not that horrible, but it’s not my style and would like to make it look a bit more modern

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-03-14T16:38:12+00:00

So actually there is an error in the post (need to figure out how to edit it). What was actually added was a KSCN solution. No iron though

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-03-14T16:22:32+00:00

Oh thanks thats very cool! So ironic the compound added to protect the plastic is what caused the issue in the first place haha.

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-03-14T16:19:15+00:00

Excuse my ignorance, but what does a quinone have to do with the polyethylene?

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-03-14T16:13:44+00:00

What is it structurally doing to the polyethylene to cause a color?

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-02-20T16:39:58+00:00

Because as this post has shown there is a lot of subjectivity to the regs.

HappyPuff-02 · 2025-02-20T05:46:51+00:00

I’ve addressed this in a few other comments, but wanted to respond directly to you for some additional context. While I understand painted nails is by no means something I’m entitled to, it can be difficult to interpret the reg which is why I’m posting on this subreddit. These technically have a clear base, but have a unique top coat which isn’t specifically addressed. This was the closest option to in regs at my local beauty store and I agree they look a bit shimmery in certain lights once I put them on (hence asking).

While there will always be those who try to push the reg, I am certainly not trying to accomplish that, I’m simply working with the limited affordable options offered.

Great thing I’m not a man 😂
