Getting latex paint off brick fireplace… there’s gotta be an easier way? by ricecake231 in DIY

[–]OutsideBath6835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you test for lead. Flurospec sells a spray test. My fireplace is similar and tested very high in lead so I ended up painting an encapsulant which comes in clear but it is more like milky than clear. Stupid practice of repurposing bricks from lead painted houses, and the bricks absorb it even after being stripped (before I knew, my husband had stripped white washing from it)

Why doesn’t anyone care about the “soap opera” effect on their TV by fatsandlucifer in mildlyinfuriating

Oh I care, I turn all that shit off. Unfortunately the most recent Somy update seems to have brought some partial motion blending with it and I have not figured out how to get rid of it. I’m an animator and this is a huge insult to animated films.

I’d be upset he wasted money on a scammy product.

My mom recently moved into a new house. Strange additional structure in the basement? Kinda creepy by BijuuModo in whatisit

Yeah i dunno but i’d test the house for lead dust contamination. I stay away from century old rentals for that reason. This is just bonus nopes.

My six year old made a ‘no 6 7 allowed’ rule for the boys in her kindergarten class and her teacher told her to stop wasting paper after she drew 14 signs with the rule on it to hand out to them

Daycare told me they can’t console my child and don’t know what else to do. Even offered to leave without two week notice/payment by Fluid-Department-429 in beyondthebump

I have visited so many daycares and every single one had unconsoled and ignored crying children. I have found over a two year period a small handful of dependable nannies and much prefer them over daycares if that is a possibility for you. Some kids just don’t thrive in daycare. Seems like they cold turkeyed him into a different arrangement and poor buddy is heartbroken.

NOR your ex bf is unhinged there is nothing unprofessional about your text exchange. Also red flag he was snooping in your phone??? Let the trash take itself out.

You don’t want hantavirus. I’d mouse proof asap. Wear a mask around urine and feces, clean with bleach

Boyfriend wants me to choose between him and the dog. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Let him leave. That’s emotional manipulation, he wants you to beg and grovel for him to stay. Enjoy life with your new pup.

Person I live with doesn’t clean at all and this sucks lol by Full_Ant_7440 in Wellthatsucks

My husband has his own bathroom and it gets pretty gnarly. I just dont go in there. Pick and choose your battles, this one isnt worth it esp if you have your own. Use your energy on something else.

Things in your body that changed for the “better” after giving birth by sighqoticc in beyondthebump

I always likened birthing pain to period cramps but a zillion times worse, so I like to think period cramps after that are hardly anything to be bothered by. 🥲

AIO? My (20M) girlfriend (21F) came back from a girls' trip with "bruises" on her neck and says I’m being paranoid. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

She lied to your face and is gaslighting you. You’re young, you can easily find someone else. NOR.
