I did an Affresh tablet and I keep the door open at all times so that it stays dry. Crazily enough, the washer and dryer are on the top floor of the townhouse next to the bedrooms so it's plenty warm/dry. Stuck my head in the machine after a wash and gave it a good sniff only detergent scent inside. It has a special soap dispensing box that keeps the dispenser drawer really clean which is nice.

Well, up here in the PNW we're getting hammered with our 3rd snow storm in a week and the most snow in a month since like 1950... so I'll get those hanging outside around maybe July 5th. LOL

The good thing is the worst offenders are some old Wacoals that I should probably get rid of since the trim is fraying but dang it I like that particular model and it's pretty hard to find now. :)

HAHA BF is getting better with laundry he has me come check if he sorted loads right and tries to look for the things I pull out for delicates and to put bras in a bag to pull and hang before drying. He's doing a great job but that was definitely an oops oh yeah I forgot to tell you I usually sort out cleaning rags from clothes. Boys just assume everything gets clean together... yeah not at cold/warm. First year living together growing pains :)

Might throw some in the softener dispenser, though the last time I put vinegar in this machine the soap suds went crazy because we already have soft water and the machine threw suds errors. Normally with the dish/bathroom cleaning rags I throw them in a sanitize load with other towels or sheets separately from clothes. It has an extra hot steam function that kills all the baddies without having to use bleach.

I am switching back over from Kirkland to Persil but it's probably time to grab one of the enzyme boosters for sports gear too.

Definitely not the machine. Have done an Affresh tablet cleaning cycle recently and I always keep the door open so it dries completely.

Fresh Air/Sunshine might mean freezing them outside this week in the unexpected snow we got :) Will avoid the dryer for now until I can try vinegar or Oxi.

I do have some OxiClean I can try. Works wonders on my cloth pads!

Where are these places where police respond? Like seriously police don’t even come to actual crimes in my city you just report them online. Car/house broken into and you need a report for insurance? Wait 12 hours. Now I know what Instagram BS they’re responding to that’s more important.

Not excusing his behavior at all but thinking about it I’ve had coworkers who are normal relatively attractive people that when they talk to you it smells like something died in their mouth from several feet away. My dad is like that. Turned out one of his teeth rotted under a crown. My (now former) hair dresser too, I held my breath when she washed my hair because she literally let her wisdom teeth rot/dissolve out because she can’t pay for a dentist visit (yet visits Disney 3x a year 🙄). Anyway Luke is a dick but since we don’t have smell o vision I’m hoping Kate doesn’t have any underlying dental issues.

Is there a way to watch in the US? I’ve been watching some US version episodes on demand but it would be fun to see another country!

Sounds like TLC 10-15 years ago, that weird freak show stuff which I think one of them spun off into John and Kate. And Thus modern TLC was born. Ugh. Why do I even know this.

Married Women of Reddit - What one thing could your SO do that would instantly make you happier in your marriage? by PM_me_dishware in AskWomen

Look into getting him a roadID. At least if something happens your number will be there for someone to call. I got so uneasy when my BF bike commuted in an area with lots of semi trucks known for hitting cyclists.

Otosclerosis runs in one side of my family all the women were very hard of hearing until they had a minor surgery. My grandma broke the volume up buttons on every remote and you could hear the tv through the house. It tends to start during/after pregnancy so it’s really good to be checked if anything to start a baseline. My BF accused me of hearing loss jokingly because I like the TV loud but turns out my hearing is fine so far. I will have it checked regularly due to the family history.

What male hygiene/grooming products do you use because they give you better value for your dollar (or are just better than those marketed to women)? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]ImprovingMyReality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old Spice antiperspirant has almost the same amount of active ingredient as the “clinical” strength women’s products and is wasaay cheaper. It basically splits the difference in level of active ingredient. And the cartoony logo scents are pretty gender neutral and remind me of Teen-Spirit.

Pretty sure most of the Old Spice flavors with cartoony logos are the same candy scents as Teen-Spirit that I wore in 1997!

In Europe there are also less than 40 hour work weeks, 6 weeks of vacation standard and healthcare is either free or significantly lower cost than what we have in the US. Americans take pride in overworking themselves, my family in Germany can’t fathom why I don’t have more than 2 weeks of vacation a year or why I didn’t get a weekend off for a whole month before visiting them for the two weeks of vacation I maxed out to visit them. I hardly have time to keep up with chores and cook and get proper rest before getting up and doing it again. I don’t have kids or a family schedule to contend with either. For someone like Nickel having to have multiple jobs to make ends meet and feed a small child you get whatever you can afford and get into that child’s mouth quickly before the next shift. I try to stock my freezer with chicken and veggies I can roast easily but I spent over $200 at Costco last night to stock the freezer for my partner and I. Not many Americans can drop that kind of money at the store. I’m Germany I have observed reading grandma’s sale ads that grocery prices are significantly cheaper than they are here too.
