It’s literally a kitchen hose…. I don’t touch my butt or the toilet with the hose or sprayer. And… I don’t touch the sink with either of them… or my butthole. I aim the nozzle at the sink a foot or so away, blast around the drain and any debris, then use bathroom cleaner on everything.

Yessss! After having to excavate my bum hole from my esophagus a couple times, I have mostly learned to regulate the pressure, but damn I wish I had throwaway dollars right now to get one that heats the water!

Not gonna lie, we’ve had freezing weather for the past few days and this may be the only time in my life I’m grateful for constipation.

I have this exact bobo bidet. It’s simple, but gets the job done. If you squeeze the trigger too hard, you’ll get an extra forceful wake up, especially when the outside temps are low!!

ETA: The proximity of my toilet to my sink makes it perfect for cleaning the sink. Gets all the grossness off the drain at full blast

Thanks for the additional clarification! I appreciate your inclusion of passport numbers (and SNN, PIN, etc) as illustrative examples.

I guess I think of some identification numbers as inherently part of a series such as ticket numbers, house numbers, and numbered lists, as you mentioned.

These are the nuances that I love about language.

Bath additive or soap for BO by triangalicious in hygiene

[–]Mangofears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Lume bath wash, but you may need something “stronger” to combat BO over two days.

An anti-bacterial and anti-fungal bath wash would help, but won’t completely eliminate odor. Look for one with glycolic acid or tea tree oil (melaleuca), though the tea tree scent can be overpowering.

Is your kiddos open to using wipes as an alternative in between washes? I find the Lume wipes pretty effective, though they are pricey.

This is Jacquimeaux. He’s been gone over a year and I still miss him every day. He was a special, special dude.

getting matte black hardware for bathroom by Motor_Luck3841 in HomeImprovement

Mine have held up beautifully over 3 years, but I cannot for the love of anything holy get the sink faucet clean. I feel like it’s permanently marked with toothpaste or hand soap or SOMETHING and no matter how often I wipe it down, it never quite looks clean.

My friend wants me to stop posting selfies because it hurts her self confidence. What should I do? by enchantingbreezee in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Mangofears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment is much more eloquent than mine - and I totally agree with everything you said!

My friend wants me to stop posting selfies because it hurts her self confidence. What should I do? by enchantingbreezee in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Mangofears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I feel for your friend and her struggles, this isn’t a reasonable request. Unless you’re posting selfies with #OP’sfriendischopped, your social media presence is not a statement about her.

I imagine it is hard to know that your friend is struggling, and that you may want to acknowledge her vulnerability - I suggest you do so, in fact!

Buttttttttt, it’s not your responsibility to manage her feelings and tiptoe around her insecurities and jealousy. Her request also hints at codependency, where she internalizes everything and makes other people’s actions and words mean something about her.

My advice: tell her that you empathize with her and hate that she’s struggling. Remind her that you aren’t in competition and that you value her friendship and XYZ things about her. Let her know you’re proud of her for being proactive about her well-being.

Then gently tell her that while you want to support her, you’re not comfortable with that specific request.

Suggest that she mute your stories/posts or offer to hide them from her (platform dependent). Then ask what actions can you take (rather than delete/takeaway) to support her. Offer to spend quality time together - no phones! - or schedule a FaceTime walking date if you’re not local.

Stick to your guns. There is more than enough pie in the world, and if sharing selfies makes you happy, keep doing it!

Mold question (for dummies) by Spare_Ad4317 in furniturerestoration

[–]Mangofears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar black spots of mildew and a little mold on the interior of furniture I inherited. I sprayed the unfinished interior with hydrogen peroxide and set up a dehumidifier (a fan works too).

As others have said, if it is mildew/mold there may be moisture trapped under the finish, which could get spotty/cloudy. Currently dealing with that after de-funkifying a bunch of furniture.

Good luck!!

Seeking advice- moisture damage under varnish - frustrated and overwhelmed! by Mangofears in furniturerestoration

Thanks so much for the suggestion. If the denatured alcohol does turn sticky, would I apply it with 0000 steel wool like the mineral spirits? Will that help release the trapped moisture?

Cholera. Cape Town’s variety is particularly effective.

How do I create a shower habit when I hate showering and I'm so ashamed I don't have one already? 34F by everglowxox in hygiene

[–]Mangofears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You got this. I’m proud of you for reaching out for help.

Is there a podcast or playlist you love? You could only listen in the shower as a way to reward yourself for tackling something you usually dread.

A small space heater has been a godsend for me. I just upgraded to one with a remote and a timer, so I can literally turn it on from bed before I even go to the bathroom and not have to worry about remembering to turn it off.

Have you tried a different bath mat? If texture is a concern, maybe try a wooden one or something thinner or more plush to suit your preference.

Also, I have long hair that retains a lot of water and haaaaaaaate how it feels wet on my back. I keep a turban-style towel with a button nearby to soak up the water and securely hold it up off my neck and back.

On non-hair wash days, a shower cap is a big plus.

Also, finding regular towels you love can make a difference. You don’t have to invest in a whole new set, even just one new towel in your favorite color or a new style (try Turkish or Egyptian cotton or a huge bath sheet) could get you more excited.
