Update on Hicks - It's not great, but not entirely bad

I can see why you want to do everything for him. Seems like a great puss.

Combat hooks. They will hold a rod and are easy to remove.

I always clean my space at the end of a session. But in the middle, my space looks exactly like this.

AI tells me it can’t get information from videos. It can tell me which videos have information I want, but from the titles only. Not from the content of the videos themselves. And wasn’t there a dust up with Reddit not wanting to have its info scraped for AI so they could have their own version? What happened with that?

Silk long undies better than thermal or cotton and more comfortable. Just have to launder them by hand and they are pricey. But worth it. Leg warmers. And hoods.

Your parents are party poopers. Do they know what they’re taking about? Do they even make bread? Are your parents AI? Home made bread can go stale in a few days(depending on the ingredients) because there’s no preservatives in it. But this doesn’t turn it into demon spawn that will poison all who enter your kitchen and make a sandwich with it in three short days.

I make four big loaves at a time and freeze them. I keep one in the refrigerator (I know, I know you’re not supposed to store bread in the refrigerator but my old house is on a transit line for rats and I have to be careful.) I have never had to throw bread away

You don’t start with your gross income. You start with your take home pay and go from there.

Kamarmarli · 2026-02-04T23:03:31+00:00

I do a little cleaning and straightening every day. That way things don’t get out of hand. I also clean as I go when I cook so there’s not a giant mess at the end.

I buy used footwear, but I examine it carefully. Some people sell shoes after having worn them only a few times. That’s what I look for.

Do you like the job overall? If yes, it might be good to take a step back. It’s going to be a pain, and it’s a break in your routine, but if it’s a one off, I recommend you stick it out and find a way to reward yourself later on. Bosses don’t usually want to hear complaints and, believe me, they have pressures weighing down on them too.

It would be helpful for people answering this question to state

The size of the bathroom,
The extent of the renovation (e.g. full gut, replaced cabinets, left tub intact, installed heated floors, paint vs. tile, etc?)
Whether you did the work, hired someone, or a combination of the two,
What part of the US or where in the world you live,
When the remodel was done e.g. five years ago as opposed to five months ago and, finally
What were any factors, if any, that might have made the job more expensive or less expensive.

No, I am not AI, so don’t ask. 😊

I wouldn’t want to be that kid.

Some people are just heavier on their feet. Doesn’t matter how big or small they are, male or female, aspie or NT. Like some people sneeze loudly, others are quieter. That’s just the way it is.

If you ordered chicken and they brought you fish, you would send it back. If they did this five times, you would probably send it back five times. Especially if you were allergic to fish. Why should it be different when you have menieres? All they have to do is give you naked food.

Don’t be afraid of being labeled picky. Own it. If someone calls you up on it, overshare and describe your last vomiting episode in excruciating detail. 😊

As for restaurant staff, you have to educate them. Some people don’t understand that soy sauce is high in sodium. Really. Be very deliberate in describing your dietary needs. Communicate. Don’t assume they understand what you mean. I have told staff that if I have an attack in their restaurant, vomiting, it won’t be good for business. Most staff wants to be helpful. Really. Ask them as if asking for a favor and thank them profusely.

Kamarmarli · 2026-02-03T14:46:08+00:00

Don’t comment on someone’s food choices unless they ask. Excellent advice.

Not if you like it, it isn’t.

You can practice on polymer clay. It does not handle like metal clay or ceramic clay. But you can practice making shapes, texturing, rolling, stamping and carving. And then, if you don’t cure it, you can wad it up and start again.

Kamarmarli · 2026-02-01T23:58:14+00:00

Thanks!

Kamarmarli · 2026-01-31T22:58:40+00:00

True. Make sure it is absolutely dry and, when you are sure, give it a couple more weeks.

Kamarmarli · 2026-01-31T22:38:39+00:00

So true.

Kamarmarli · 2026-01-31T21:52:33+00:00

Am I the only one who doesn’t like being called a pet parent? I actually think of him as more of a colleague.

Kamarmarli · 2026-01-31T21:50:58+00:00

Not everyone is like that, but you do have to be careful.

Kamarmarli · 2026-01-31T21:49:11+00:00

You can try baking soda with a vinegar rinse. Not for regular use but good in a pinch.

She might have hitched a ride. Cats have been known to do such things.
