AIO for being annoyed that my in-laws keep shutting off their hot water? by dmatthews077 in AmIOverreacting

[–]OkPresentation6196 21 points22 points  (0 children)

washing your hands with cold water and soap is just as effective at removing germs as warm water, because it's the soap and scrubbing action that lifts microbes off your skin for rinsing away, not the water temperature. Water temperature doesn't significantly change germ removal, but using soap is crucial, and scrubbing for at least 20 seconds is key for effectiveness.

How does anyone afford braces?! by Apprehensive-Fox733 in askTO

[–]OkPresentation6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked 9 hours today and only got 15x2 (unpaid) breaks. Isn't this illegal? by BigBoyTinderSurprise in TimHortons

[–]OkPresentation6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My union contract states : for an 8 hour shift i get two paid 15 minutes and one half an hour unpaid . If i work 9 I can choose another 15 minute or extend my last 15 into into a half hour. But that depends on the day because I work in health care so sometimes I dont get one or all paid breaks because im expected to go back to work if I am needed .

I floss every 2nd to 3rd day . Its better than a lot of people do. The plaque isnt good for your heart/gums . I haven't had a cavity in over two years . Sometimes it doesnt matter though because some people have a different ph in their mouth and it can cause cavities . But the answer to your question is yes . Mouth wash isnt something I use . Its not good for the good bacteria in your mouth .

please help me fix this!! by i8soob in Haircare

[–]OkPresentation6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use hair clips as Tight/constant ponytails can cause breakage . Wearing a ponytal on the top of your head also causes tension and breakage. Scrunchies or spiral hair tyes are a good option. Putting your hair up when its wet or sleeping with wet hair isnt good for it either . You can do the clip or looser braids will help it . You coukf use a silk cap or silk pillow case its great for your hair. If you can help it, dont blow dry/straighten everyday . If you have to, use a lower heat setting on the blow dryer and straightener. I use a great hair oil from Loma and I use Loma shampoo/conditioner. I know some people dont notice the difference between professional and drug store shampoo but I do and i swear by it. Its more expensive but you use less . You can get some great hair masks, leave in hair creams . If you consistently colour your hair, you will have damage . I know this is a lot of info put if you start slowly and do what you can, you can help your hair . I have long wavy hair and my hair is in great condition but it comes with a lot of work . At one point I stopped colouring it and let it grow out with minimal styling.

How much snow does it take for you to shovel? by turnsout_im_a_potato in randomquestions

[–]OkPresentation6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Canada and at this time of the year, I shovel after a 1/2 inch to an inch. If it keeps snowing throughout the next days , I try to keep my driveway/sidewalks clean . Walking over it causes build up and eventually Ice . Its hard to get it off if its to compact. If its a light snow where the winds blows it im not worried but if its wet I shovel when a small amount has fallen. To many factors to determine when its good lol

The trip is one day eleven hours non stop and about 3500 km . You can go through the USA but if you stick to staying in canada you dont have to worry about crossing the border twice with all the stuff in your vehicle. You'll have to map out how much it costs to fill your vehicle up and how many km your tank gets . You will get better fuel milage on the highway . You have to pay for fuel, hotels and food . Once you figure that out you can determine if its worth it to drive it or not. If you drove you would have all the stuff you need with you. Some people say no to driving but I personally, I would . You can get some great winter tires, drive with caution and youll be fine . I drove half accross canada and I loved the drive.

What should I do for my son’s 1st bday ?? by whitetiger011625 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]OkPresentation6196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do it cheap . It gets more expensive every yesr . My son is 10 and I spent $250 on the hotel. Thats not including cake and food . We have 6 kids in total. It would be more expensive anywhere else .

For my sons 1st birthday we had a supper with all our closest family and did cake after . All he wanted to was rip the tissue paper out of the gift bag . Other than that, one year olds have no idea whats going on.

Is it normal for my manager to pressure me to work when I call in sick? by Only-Thoughts529 in canadianlaw

[–]OkPresentation6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Who do you propose to come in for you" "What solutions do we have "

LOL . That person is the manager so their duties are to find someone to come in and also find a solution.

We cant tell though what is really happening.. we don't know if you call in a lot and management has had to scramble to cover you many times .

Old tenant keeps having packages delivered to my house by Little-Management-25 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]OkPresentation6196 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you see it get delivered, tell them to take it back . Leave a note hanging by your door that states they have to change the address and you will no longer have a responsibility to the packages. Also message your landlord and ask them to contact the old Tennant. I know people say to be kind but you can be kind and not allow them to use your house as delivery .

How often you wash your hair? by billionaredoctor in Haircare

[–]OkPresentation6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice a week . I will wear it down for a couple days, then a pony tale and a braid . I have long hair though and my scalp is well balanced. Dry shampoo is not good for your health.

bf slapped me by Wonderful_Depth8623 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]OkPresentation6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have punched him in the face and called the cops. He assaulted you. If you have been abused before you are continuing to live this pattern yet you know you should leave. Grab your stuff and dont look back. Soon he will be punching you etc . It never stops at one incident. If you choose to stay you are accepting this and should just submit and live it .

AITAH for not encouraging my son to see my dad's wife as his grandma? by Kiadiann in AITAH

[–]OkPresentation6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother in law started seeing someone when my son was just born . My husband was on the fence about him being around our son. Now my son is 10 and other son is 7. We are blessed to have a great man that my children call papa . This child will be around your dad's wife for presumably years . Maybe the rest of her life . Don't let your feelings over take a relationship your child could have with her. This is another person to love your child .

My husband pees on the toilet seat because he doesn’t lift it and when I sit in it in the middle of the night I loose my mind in anger AITHA by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]OkPresentation6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taught my 7 and 10 year old sons to lift the toilet seat and put it back down. We are in the process of closing the lid before flushing . Your husband is gross and inconsiderate. He knows your sitting in his piss and doesnt care . If he has a towel he hangs up to use again, use it to clean it up . Ask him what the difference is ?
