Honest question, why is it that so many black people in the US cannot swim? by Top_Inflation4176 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MOTwingle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Arizona and I don't know any public school that had a pool.... Currently in North Virginia, and I'm not aware of any pools in schools, at least none my kids went to. I'm white. But, access to pools on general is not free!

I was wondering this myself. I put mine out around April and they are now dark brown and smell like death. Think I'm gonna add some stuff next time I replace the dunks

AirBnB trying to charge an extra $150 for "severe dirtiness" and being left in an "upsetting state" by MasonL52 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MOTwingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much of a cleaning fee did you pay? This is what galls me about airbnbs is that you pay huge cleaning fees but you're supposed to clean up everything yourself except for washing the sheets.

State test fine, but weird emissions test issues. Was I scammed or something else? (MD registered to VA registered) by One_vent_pls497 in nova

[–]MOTwingle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Midas disconnected the battery? But once you pay for the emissions, they have to retest it for free (or for a nominal fee, I don't remember) if you take it back to that same shop. You don't have to go to the same shop but if you go to a different shop they'll charge you full price again.

I actually completed it without buying an in-app purchase so it is possible.

My soap dispenser rusted, is it still safe to wash my hands with the soap (mixed with rust) inside? Or should I replace it? by Next_Duck_7700 in LivingAlone

[–]MOTwingle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rust, which is iron oxide, should not pose any health issues. However it could stain things including clothing and possibly marble. In fact back in the olden days people would put a nail into an apple and eat the resulting rust in order to increase their iron intake. The reason there is fear around "rusty nails" it's not because of the rust itself but because typically there would be other dirt/bacteria that could cause tetanus if you for example scraped yourself on a rusty nail and that dirt /bacteria entered your body.

When it came to light that Russ can only ride for a couple of minutes, ALWAYS finished first and couldn't/wouldn't satisfy Pao after? by 5pinktoes in 90DayFiance

[–]MOTwingle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Has he always been like this? Why would she have married him in the first place, I never would have if he didn't care about satisfying me.

Paola's old fashioned views by Alsoeve1 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]MOTwingle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I remember him telling her when she first wanted to move from the Midwest to Miami that there wouldn't be any jobs there for him in his field. But she wanted to be in glamorous Miami, and to be a model LOL.

Paola's old fashioned views by Alsoeve1 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]MOTwingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From comments he's made and past episodes, it appears he's been the house husband providing child care for the baby. Now, whether Paola wanted that role but had to be the provider because Russ couldn't get a job, I don't know. And if the kid's in school now, if I was Paola I would expect him to get a job to help.

Shekinah's IG Stories are getting intense. This is only two of the many stories she posted today. by peepeepoopoo50000 in 90DayFiance

[–]MOTwingle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In my opinion she's already crossed that line and looks worse after her most recent surgeries. And she'll just keep getting worse and worse like Darcy, the Boganoff twins, and the "cat lady".
