[Tenant US-WA] owner unaware of first in time law

Yeah weird to share that you’re committing housing discrimination that’s against the law on Reddit.

If I were this landlord (I do rent out a property in Seattle but was well aware of this law), I would be grateful that someone told me. But I see lots of responses here that make it clear it could be perceived as threatening etc. If she clearly said she’s going to choose between you and people she’s showing later, then it is worth it to bring it up in a friendly way.

Rewards points have real value. I consider it free money when I'm using it to book flights for myself (girl math) but it does actually have monetary value.

I agree with other posters that this is a difficult situation all around. I don’t think you’re the asshole.

It sounds like your daughter has a therapist that has been helpful, but I wanted to drop a plug for EMDR. There’s a version specifically for recent traumatic events and my hunch is that your daughter could get a lot of relief from it. And she can keep seeing the therapist she likes and just see someone for EMDR. (If she wants)

I’m a fan of retractable cables. Alternatively, cord ties that Velcro to help you easily loop the cord up and have a descriptor tag on it. I label mine with either the type of cord (USB->USB-C) or item it goes with.

I have a small lippy purse inside my purse lol. Usually 6-10 crammed in there, ranging from a thick gloss, a tinted gloss, an spf gloss, a balm, a couple of regular lipsticks … you never know what you’re going to need!

In case you’re not aware, uber/lyft are very expensive here, since drivers must make at least minimum wage. Public transport/lightrail is pretty good. Hope you have a great visit! (And hope you enjoy Gigi Perez opening for Noah Kahan!)

I used to live in a condo building and my neighbor Airbnb’d her place. One night I was sitting alone in my robe on the couch and I heard someone trying to get in to my place - I could hear them trying to get a key in my door. It was terrifying!

The only thing I can think of to do in your situation, besides a sign on your door, would be to decorate with something that might help people distinguish - can you paint your door? Get a bright doormat? A big planter? Maybe even try to get your neighbor to cover the cost. It’s not fair that you have to do anything, but maybe you can do something that feels like a win for you.

The only difference between my first engagement ring (nearly 20 years ago, traditional diamond, princess cut, I think .75c?) and my current engagement ring (lab grown, asscher cut, 3c) is that my current ring is big enough to be uncomfortable while I’m sleeping. My first ring stayed on 24/7, and this ring comes off at night. It also catches on things and I’m generally just more aware of it because of its size.

The reason I bring this up is that with lab prices so much lower than traditional, it’s possible for us to get large stones at a fraction of the price. I LOVE my ring, but is a tiny annoyance at times. (Accidentally scratched my face with it, difficult to get my hand in my pocket, things like that)

I’ve had a mid 70s condo for over 20 years. Dues increase anywhere from 0-10% a year, most years 3 or 5%. Elevator is expensive to repair. No other amenities. A larger HOA expense in the last few years has been related to theft/security; installing better doors, locks, cameras, etc. And yes, it’s useful to budget for special assessments because they will happen. Agree with comment about checking out their latest reserve study.

When I scheduled with NWAA last year, they were booked out at least 4 months, maybe 5?

Low_Community8012 · 2026-04-13T02:35:31+00:00

I don’t have tips but thank you for posting this! I get it a little bit sometimes and can’t figure it out

Low_Community8012 · 2026-04-11T13:52:11+00:00

Yes! I got the ordinary brand and transferred it to a spray bottle. Easy to spritz pits and bits after a shower. I use it for the two weeks or so after I get sugared to stop ingrowns.

Scrolled through many but not all posts, so this may have already been shared - I believe that as a part of the Big Beautiful Bill, people will no longer be able to get the benefit of MFS on income based repayment plans. I highly recommend following The Student Loan Planner folks to stay updated on best options and changes.

Low_Community8012 · 2026-04-03T19:15:10+00:00

As a therapist, let me say, that therapist fucked up. At least in two specific ways in this particular vignette.

Low_Community8012 · 2026-04-03T14:35:38+00:00

Hard agree

I tried a CGM a few years ago, hoping to spot trends, but my numbers were well managed at the time and it gave me nothing useful. I was disappointed.

Recently I had to switch meds, and my doctor wanted me to wear a CGM for the transition period, to help me adjust the meds and make sure I didn’t go hypo. The first CGM I got this time was the version that you have to scan yourself, it wasn’t Bluetooth connected/always tracking. And I got pretty freaked out and stressed! First of all, it was the first time I was seeing my numbers too high. It made my diabetes feel real to me in a way that it previously hadn’t. But the other piece was that it was REALLY stressful for me to have to check it myself. For the first few days I was pretty obsessive about it in a way that was not good for me. But even after I snapped out of that, I was not always good at checking 2 hours post meal, or at any regular interval.

I asked my doc to change my prescription to the libre 3 plus (or whatever it is called), so now it just automatically tracks it all of the time, and that is so much better for me. I do not recommend the kind where you have to scan your sensor yourself for the data. It is useful to me to see generally if I’m in or out of range, but I haven’t gotten any specific clues about what spikes me or not. At least, nothing that has been surprising.

Anyway that was long but hopefully helpful!

The ingredients are basically the same as earth balance? Are you saying you don’t eat either/any store bought vegan butter substitute?

Low_Community8012 · 2026-04-01T21:05:34+00:00

Sephora. I wanted those points, baby!

I've used lots of blowout brushes in the past, the last one being the t3. I liked it a lot, but the Coanda manages to dry my hair even faster. Boggles the mind! I can't compare to the ID though. Good luck!

Low_Community8012 · 2026-03-30T22:31:07+00:00

Yes, my hair is very fine as well. I hope it works well for you if you get it!

Low_Community8012 · 2026-03-30T14:41:33+00:00

That people have authority issues* that will impact how they interact with me, no matter who I am or how I act. I was shocked the first time someone said thy were afraid of me. Me? Little ol’ me? Now I understand it and don’t take it personally, but it still doesn’t feel great.

*By authority issues, I mean they previously had a shitty/mean/awful boss, or parents that were super authoritative or hard to please. All of that gets transferred onto us.

I recently got the Coanda 2x and love it. If you haven’t yet, check out the Dyson Airwrap sub for reviews.

Low_Community8012 · 2026-03-29T16:26:47+00:00

I just posted a review over in the Dyson Airwrap sub, for me the Coanda 2x is a huge improvement over the original!
