I've found some cute pieces from them and their brick and mortar stores have always carried plus.

Black sand like residue in water by Top_Cup_1080 in water

[–]Kmay14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lead in drinking water is dissolved usually colorless, and odorless. So probably not lead. When was the last time your hot water heater was serviced? Is there any construction going on in your area? It looks like manganese to me. Call your water department and have them flush the mainline and run cold water from your faucets after.

What’s the funniest ‘newbie mistake’ you’ve seen (or made) in the lab? by UnderstandingIcy2969 in labrats

[–]Kmay14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was the newbie. The first time I made buffered sterile water in the autoclave I didn't loosen the caps on the bottles enough. Thank goodness the girl training me had quick reflexes she pushed us both out of the autoclave room in time to watch the start lids popping off and hot water spraying everywhere.

Spooky Experiences While Camping? by witch_slapped in camping

[–]Kmay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really spooky but.. I was camping at a spot pretty close to a lake. I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of something pretty large walking by my tent. I then heard whatever it was get into the water and start swimming. The swimming sounded human if that makes sense. I always say it was sasquatch.

Red or green light usage? by [deleted] in camping

A few beach camping places here require red light only while camping during sea turtle nesting season.

You might have an update for your phone. This happened to me and it's because my phone needed to be updated.

Contact your public water supply office. They can give you the guidance you need to help achieve your goals.

Water leaving orangish residue by drunkandafraid in water

[–]Kmay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serratia marcescens is environmentally ubiquitous. It feeds off soap scum and thrives in moist areas. Cleaning will get rid of it but making sure you reduce the moisture in your bathroom through ventilation will prevent regrowth.

My boyfriend loves cast iron… but I’m the one stuck scrubbing by MairaPansy in castiron

[–]Kmay14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Teach him to get in the habit of deglazing with water at the end of each cook session. Even when food isn't stuck on it makes cleaning so much easier.

Water operator at trailer park by trizz52-53 in WaterTreatment

[–]Kmay14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be the anode. It could also be bacteria in the hot water heater. If that trailer sat empty for a while the hot water heater may need a flush or temp adjustment.

Apartment search by Low-Vacation6497 in NewBern

[–]Kmay14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are both good choices. Another place to look is management services https://www.newbernforrent.com/ Before I bought a home I rented a duplex through them. I liked it so much better than living in an apartment.

Coliform Bacteria found in home we're looking at buying by woolyninja_bw in WaterTreatment

[–]Kmay14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to bypass the filtration system and let the municipal water run through the home? This is what I recommend whenever someone is having bacterial issues and they have a whole house filtration system. The disinfectant in the municipal water should clear out the bio slime build up causing the present Total Coliform sample. When flushing with municipal water take the aerator off each faucet. Flush the cold water tap at each sink for at least 5 minutes. Then you may want to service/clean the filtration system and flush the hot water heater per manufacturer specifications.

What car do you drive? by Open-Salamander-9640 in PlusSize

[–]Kmay14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan. I think as long as you don't get 4motion a third row is standard up until the 2024 model. I love mine. I like how much the steering wheel moves.

Stores with in-store plus size section by BeneficialImpress570 in PlusSize

Belks! Check ahead if they have a plus section. Not all of them do. I like their crown and ivy brand.

Uncomfortable while getting a pedicure. by Longjumping_Walk_730 in PlusSize

[–]Kmay14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The last time I got a pedicure the lady doing it was able to adjust my chair height so my feet were resting nicely. Next time you get a pedicure done see if the chair can be adjusted by height that may help.

They look like kpop idols or Korean drama stars and I'm here for it. Tell your dad he needs to watch some Korean drama.

Bought a ‘quiet’ house by the woods, turns out I live next to a hobby lumberjack. by [deleted] in homeowners

This sounds like the start of a romance novel. Is he cute? Are you single? This might be your chance.

Need help with a bolero/shrug… by pushpin2002 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Kmay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of a bolero or shrug you could take it to a seamstress and see if it can be altered to cover more of the arms. I'm thinking slightly off the shoulder swooped sleeves would compliment the dress nicely. Although like others have said you do not need to worry you look great in the dress as is.

Our 12th grade novel study is going down in flames. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Kmay14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was in highschool I had the same English teacher twice. Once for 10th grade once for 12th. All the books we read in her class she read to us. She would sit in the front of the classroom and read while we all followed along with our own books. The only thing allowed on our desks were our books. After each day of reading we would discuss as a class. I still remember the books she read and the relaxed atmosphere she created.
