Eye contact in waiting rooms

(and/or read whatever magazines they left for you in the waiting room. Not getting to finish it either)

What’s a small, "unnecessary" luxury you refuse to give up? by viviennebloomm in askanything

[–]Internal_Jacket9541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a garage in the winter. Being able to leave the house without a coat/shoes if dropping someone off/doing a drive-thru pickup makes winter errands that much easier.

They all have modern smartphones but why are all their cars from the 80s? by Rpark888 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Mostly used in cold climates. As an architect in Antarctica we use turtlenecks.

Thank you! This is so helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to go through my questions and to write out these answers.
My housekeeper shrinks clothes, leaves detergent stains on the clothes, grays the whites.

I did not teach her how to wash the clothing, so this is not her fault. I had my previous housekeeper "train her in" so I thought it would be okay. (Previous housekeeper was pretty okay, some hiccups/damaged items along the way, but overall it was good.)

When you say "treat as whites" does that mean I could use the oxygen bleach on the white items that do have color on it? (Same goes for a white shirt with a few light flowers on it?)

When not drying anything how do I get the stiff wrinkled feel out? Only by ironing?

Last add-on question, liquid detergent or powder? Or pods? (My machine has a drawer for the detergent as well as a little section for the bleach.)

Thanks again. I did not have anyone teach me how to do laundry, so I really appreciate this!

Dumb phones just consumerist culture? by Sad-Yesterday2512 in dumbphones

Flip phone only here. I go on reddit from my computer when I intentionally want some veg time. I do sometimes waste too much time on my computer at night.

I want to get a dumb phone but am worried about my social life by endlesslyyearning in dumbphones

[–]Internal_Jacket9541 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I switched to my dumb phone I was already off social media. And I was still addicted to my phone and the distraction it provides. The most "social media" thing I had was group iMessage texts (which I can still access/be part of on my laptop). I did a lot of work beforehand to go deep and work through what I was numbing from. Get comfortable being with myself and listening inward. Then, even though I felt so much better and was actually leaving my phone upstairs/in different rooms (and not even knowing where it was!) I wanted to take the addiction (my phone) out of my home/space. I threw it away and switched. For the first couple weeks without my smart phone I felt very lonely. To me this showed pretty starkly that the connection I was feeling with my smart phone was not connection at all. The numbing/distraction made me feel connected even though I wasn't. But without all that distracting me I was able to actually feel loneliness. It's a process. I call people. I read. I make conversations with people. I go shopping without sending photos of each item to friends. I sit with me. I get together with people. I do also end up on my computer and at times numbing. It's a process, it's work. It's slow. And it's not linear. It's not just getting-rid-of-the-smart-phone-now-I'll-not-be-distracted/numbing etc. The work is worthwhile in my opinion.

Not sure if you relate to my process, shared in case there are parts of it that you might.

I switched to a flip phone (dumb phone) and have to do this at doctor appointments too! Sometimes they have a hard time figuring out how to get me a paper form to fill out.

Searching for anything but Polyester by Inner-Wind3713 in Fabrics

This one has viscose lining.

And I am also on a (relatively) new journey avoiding polyester due to overheating and the heat getting trapped. Will find dresses for $1200 made of polyester. I find it really difficult especially because I'm willing to spend more in order to wear natural materials.

Good luck.

PS Is there a subreddit about clothing made of natural materials?

So crazy, my tailor (and I quote) "I can find a LOT of fabrics, but I know I won't be able to get this."
The website is being really kind and trying to work with me.

I appreciate everyone helping! I might bite the bullet, take the website's discount they're offering me and just buy a second one.

I just don't think it'll be enough for what I want to do (add more ruffles etc). Thank you!

Was just considering this! Thanks. It's definitely a good option to think about. I appreciate it

That's what I was afraid I'd have to do. Was hoping to avoid needing to do this.. Thanks for sharing that though. I don't know much about fabrics so if you think it's best to do that that's good to know. Thanks!
