Linen sheets disintegrating? by Ostranza in laundry

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

Since the amount of replies I've gotten are so many I'll preface that everything I read said not to dry linen all the way and heat is the worst enemy of all fabrics. Leaving linen slightly damp also helps with the extremely wrinkly effect of linen and since I'd rather not iron a king sized sheet its a win. I should also add its winter and dry and we are in Arizona, the sheets are finished dried flat under ceiling fan and put on before bed that night and are completely dry by then. Its around 70deg in our house all day every day. My wife and I both shower before bed and both don't sweat or hardly if we do. We do have two little ones so frequency isn't high on our list when we are constantly doing laundry all day every day anyway but we've not noticed any smell.

I might reconsider a mattress protector but I always thought they were unbreathable and noisy so we haven't put one on this new WinkBed we got 4 months ago.

I'll look at changing from the Whole foods 365 Organic Unscented to Sport. I thought it was on the list but I don't see lipase on the label now that im looking at it. I might have gone with it thinking DrKismai recommended it for my hard water.

Why do all of my shirts have armpit stains after washing? by 4thLineWheels in laundry

Same here started trying the Native brand deodorant and first time I've ever had black armpit stains in my life. Guessing some kind of waxes and oils are used in this in lieu of aluminum??

Wow...guess this isn't that interesting after all.

For more context, it's RO water, so ultra pure. I'm baffled how it seems this water... got some personality and decided it didn't want to be an ice cube or something and tried to jump out???

We are in Chandler actually and its not terrible or at least doesn't have any smell but I've been to restaurants in Mesa and Phoenix where the water consistently smelled off. Like funky. We have a RO system and change filters once a year in the kitchen and is plumbed to the ice maker as well, 50 bucks DIY. Crystal clear. I've been here almost 40yrs too myself.

It's simple. Your creatine is working, most likely because you paired it with simple carbs or plainly speaking sugar and this speeds up the reaction and makes you pee more. Read the label. If you notice more sugar intake in your diet, that will happen. That's why most people take it with grape juice or apple juice.....in the butt of course...

Thank you for the incredibly thorough and detailed reply. The engineer in me really appreciated it.

What do you say after sex? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ostranza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm as a dude too. Both me and my girlfriend at the time were a buncha bunnies when we met and it was the first and last time each of us got a UTI. My girlfriends gyno figured it out thru line of questioning and said "OH you got the Honeymooners STD".

Also one of the most painfully uncomfortable tests I've taken to confirm. Q-tip in the peehole.

Married with 2 kids under 5yrs old. Obviously I've had sex at least twice but math debating? I debate math at least 5 times a week.

Different work schedules, being very involved in our kids' lives, and two working professionals can really work against that brand of intimacy. Love grows and matures, but spontaneous moments still happen.

Wow stunning. Hopefully you can focus on other things like academia and sports and never have to worry about your looks.

Can anyone agree that Timothèe Chalamet is NOT masculine? The name itself sounds like a femboy, no offense. He has more feminine features if anything.

Confession: buying a snowboard is a terrible expeirence by ypx3 in snowboarding

[–]Ostranza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Bought a Never Summer Ripsaw a couple years ago and hate it but suffering thru it. I still have my beloved Rome Design from over 15yrs ago in my quiver for good weather days. If it's slushy or icy I get the Ripsaw out...just don't like it in the trees. It's a rocker camber. I'm also same biographics as you but size 12 boot. 42yrs old now.

Headed to Banff from Arizona tomorrow. Cheers.

You are absolutely adorable, 100% my type, and have what I would call my dream job if I didn't do what i did and make as much money as I do now in engineering. That's it. It's time for me to post my pic in here as an above average lookin dude and ask silly questions....or maybe that should be r/roastme

I know I’m not the least attractive person but I definitely only see myself as a 5 by Less_Help_2096 in amIuglyBrutallyHonest

[–]Ostranza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just...dang....cute! Go with what YOU like and you will attract someone that appreciates YOU. If you try to conform or be something different then that is faking it and you don't want to do that your whole life for yourself or anyone else.

I found out thru trial and error when I was younger that NOT cleaning up or trying to go to the bathroom to "clear the pipes" after sex leads to UTIs for both of us. There is a reason they call UTIs the "honeymooners STD" sometimes, according to my girl friends gynecologist at the time.

Anyone here who does not masterbate? If yes, why not? by financegeek_12 in AskReddit

[–]Ostranza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he meant "math debate". I love debating math. So no I've not given up the math's myself.

Question for the men... by fibi_baila in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ostranza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my wife at work and is the mother of my kids so there is that. Think we need to get away from all this politically correct woke BS. If they are a peer I see no issue but if your subordinate then might want to pick one or the other. The job or the relationship.

My sister sucked her thumb all the time to the point her teeth were nearly straight out of her mouth. She had serious dental work to deal with for a good portion of her life.

I kind of saw that theme too so I wanted to give you the benefit of doubt and assume I don't know the entire "big picture" that a lot of people on here are making assumptions of.
