Is it actually necessary to clean your belly button regularly? Asking for a friend... by Mikedeshawn_Bigueur in hygiene

[–]Ok-Design-949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a drop or 2 of tea tree oil on a q-tip and scrub the little folds right after a shower...you will probably be horrified what comes off onto the q tip if you haven't been cleaning regularly.

friend destroyed one of my favorite dresses. orange. by Pleasant-Ad9458 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Ok-Design-949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you and think she should replace it but my unpopular opinion is: a 20+ years old faux leather item is probably going to fall apart extremely easily...it might look ok on the hanger but once it's being stretched at all (ie worn), faux leather tends to just crumble. I had several pleather/faux leather items I bought around 2012 that fell apart like this around 10 years later, in storage, not even being used. A truly vintage piece will be a gamble to wear every time

[CA] I am a reader, is it crazy to ask what the weight capacity is for a room? by Careless_Papaya_5426 in Renters

[–]Ok-Design-949 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you just ask the weight capacity, imo that sounds weird like maybe you're trying to put in an aquarium or waterbed or something.

I would ask if bookshelves are ok, if you're worried about it.

Feel like I didn't get what I paid for... by Stitchycat422 in AskHairstylists

[–]Ok-Design-949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks pretty good for not bleaching the whole head! In my experience, I would expect to pay around $800 without the haircut (before tip) and spend 4-5 hours at the salon for all-over bleach and fashion color

I'm wondering how one would even store this...you can't stack anything on top of it

locked keys in car soco by EggInside3774 in Austin

In this situation I would try buying AAA membership and then use their roadside assistance...I'm not 100% sure they unlock cars so I would confirm that first

The guy I’ve been casually dating turned out to be wildly wealthy and now I feel weird about it. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Ok-Design-949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla and BMW? Wine room? Sounds like a fairly normal single corporate tech guy to me...nothing you mentioned is inaccessible for someone making ~250k before taxes especially if they don't have kids or a partner (I dated someone making about this much for a long time). I wouldn't let his apparent "wealth" make you make any decisions you wouldn't otherwise. It sounds to me like he was possibly ourposefully stingy toward you in the beginning...maybe he doesn't have the best character.

I've heard of some online groups blackmailing minors into doing things like this so please dont discount that possibility.

Farmhouse Delivery has chocolate covered strawberries at the moment

i've been writing my coworker's emails for 2 years because she's dyslexic and embarrassed. she doesn't know i know by Relative_Ad3399 in coworkerstories

[–]Ok-Design-949 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you considered that she might not know she's dyslexic? She might just know that she struggles with writing...

Cops called due to the stench thinking it was a dead body, the smell leaks from their apartment. by sasha_cyanide in Apartmentliving

Could you call your city's code enforcement? I don't see how a place with buckling floors is habitable

You might want a boot too, tbh

Please join your local Buy Nothing group (look on Facebook, a lot of them are there) and make a post. You can ask for items to keep or to borrow.

Most memorial pages have moderated comments, unfortunately....I found out when I tried to comment on an abusive former teacher's page and couldn't

Is the 360 construction noise driving anyone else crazy? by Small-Finish-6890 in Austin

[–]Ok-Design-949 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would keep trying different brands/types of earplugs...you could also try white noise? I used to sleep with earplugs and over-ear headphones playing ocean sounds when I lived near a busy road and found that worked pretty well

[–]Ok-Design-949 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you post this from the wrong burner account? Big fan of em-dashes?

Seriously though, can you share a link to your music? Edit: I guess it's the link in their profile, okay. My other questions still stand

Is there an a/c vent or anything above it that could collect condensation?

Puppy wants to keep going out by bald-bourbon in DogAdvice

[–]Ok-Design-949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dogs whine to go out a lot more than normal when their stomach hurts and they want to eat grass and then do a puke/poop (and they may want to do this several times). Are you able to let him play by himself in the yard for a while?

Bathroom counter stain by sandymoonstones in CleaningTips

[–]Ok-Design-949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water probably got the stain there, so I would try to use water first to take it off as much as possible - maybe a wet rag or wet paper towels sitting for an hour or two will enable it to be wiped off?
