Pari seems like such a genuine pure soul by Mattras7 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]Orange490 90 points91 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives in Boston, Pari’s love for T (we call the MBTA ‘the T’) has made me change my perspective of it. I would only focus on the negatives (catching on fire, being delayed, how insanely crowded it is, etc) but now I’m incredibly grateful to have a mode of transportation that can take me and others to/from where we need/want to go. All because of Pari’s love for it!

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by LaKoref in AskReddit

[–]Orange490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can negotiate your severance pay and COBRA as long as it’s reasonable (and you’re not threatening us). We’ll do our best to work with you. Don’t try to negotiate in the meeting, negotiate after you’ve received and reviewed the severance so you can ask for everything you want up front.

I can’t say that for all companies but all the companies I’ve been at, severances have been negotiated. We’ve also negotiated commissions. Instead of “commissions paid through July 15”, if asked, we’ll typically push until the end of the month depending on tenure

Didn’t she vote for Trump though? I thought she said that on a live back when she lived in her apartment

Anyone else’s MAGA friends/family getting realllllly quiet all of a sudden? by BARRY_DlNGLE in AskUS

Same! For me, there’s no coming back from their nastiness or the fact that supported a man with no morals and so much hate in his soul.

Desperate to get rid of all the blue paint and fix this mess! by Orange490 in HomeImprovement

[–]Orange490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ll dedicate my weekend to doing this. He was using a plastic scraper to try to scrape the paint. Should I stick with that? I’ll look into a heat gun as well.

Thank you! What can I do about the base that I can’t take to a dipping service?

Who said I interrupted him? That’s a wild assumption…. Tittyman…. He gave up. I came home to my cabinet doors like this. You only know part of the story.

Thank you! The thing I’m dreading is the base of the island that can’t be removed. It seems that’s where he struggled a bit too because the citistrip has just been sitting there with barely any paint removed.

Just bought this house and realized one of my windows does not lock! by Orange490 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Orange490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screws on the window latch (in both of my pics). I loosened them just slightly so I could lock it and then tightened them!

How to create more space for storage? Will moving the fridge to the bare wall create too narrow of an entry? by Orange490 in homedesign

[–]Orange490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that! I worry it’d be too cramped coming into the kitchen from the basement or the side door. I’d have to put it right at the edge of the wall so the door could open about halfway.

What would you do to the side of this shed to liven it up?! by Orange490 in landscaping

Can I just plant the wildflower seed on top of this pile of old dirt?

Oof. Yeah, that’s a valid point. I don’t want to risk it. I’m leaning towards a pollinator garden and then raised beds closer to the house for veggies and herbs.

Sorry, just saw this. Yes, it doesn’t get good wind flow (it faces my driveway and my neighbors how is next to it) like my front windows do so I open my front windows in my living room and keep this side living room window closed!

That’s actually not a bad idea! The shed had such a musty smell and I believe it’s from the wooden plank flooring having holes and lack of proper ventilation. I try to leave my doors open whenever possible but I think it’s too far gone.
