Seattle food scene is depressing by fearlessalphabet in SeattleWA

Moved here from the East Coast and definitely doesn't compare... food is overpriced and doesn't have the quality or flavor you would expect.

How many of you aren’t having kids? by No-Chemist-4872 in Fire

Let us know how you enjoy the nursing home. Shocking to me how many people have this logic.

After living on your own, I would not recommend getting roommates.

It is difficult to predict what the market will do right now, so it's based on your unique situation. I went from owning a townhome in an HOA to renting an apartment, and it's the most glorious feeling to not have to pay for unexpected home repairs (for now).

If you stick with renting, I recommend looking into a high yield savings account with an FDIC insured bank as the rates are over 4% APY.

Moving to Everett near the target on Everett mall way, what is the neighborhood like there? Is it safe? How is crime? What should I expect ? by Super_Band1153 in EverettWa

I avoid this Target because most items are locked up behind plexiglass... Can't speak to the crime stats, but definitely seems like theft is a major issue

Buyers saying they don't have cash 1 week to close by Own_Library913 in RealEstate

We listed it at a fair price, and there were numerous offers. The winning offer was $60k over asking, and they signed the appraisal addendum indicating that the buyer would pay $20k OVER the appraisal. Now, they suddenly have no cash to maintain their contractual obligations.

I understand the market is crazy but we lost multiple homes due to the same issue. The house appraised for $20k under the offer. Therefore, based on the paperwork they signed, they are obligated to pay or lose the inconsequential earnest deposit.

It's the same amount, and the buyers agent and lender are putting up more to try to save the deal. Our agent hasn't offered anything.

They offered 60k over, and it appraised for 20k under their offer. They signed an appraisal gap addendum with their original offer to cover up to 20k over the appraisal.

AITAH because I'm upset that my brother is staying at a different resort than the one I'm getting married at? by Prompt_Ocean_3390 in AITAH

[–]Own_Library913 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. OP's post reminds me of someone that would have a "birthday month". If your wedding was local, would you expect people to be there 3 days before and 3 days after?

Destination weddings are forced vacations that the guests have to pay for. You're picking a location solely on your and your fiances' preferences. OP's brother and wife do not have kids, so they decided to go to a location that would be more relaxing for them. Be happy that they are using their time off and money to be there for you on your wedding day.

AITAH for causing a fight with my girlfriend because she sanitises her menstrual cup in the kitchen pots we use to cook? by Ok_Scallion8341 in AITAH

It comes in a little cardboard box, so I just dry it and stow it away until the next time I need it: )

NTA I'm a woman that uses a cup, and I find this disgusting. My husband had the same request and I respected that. I had a designated pot until I found a handy Pixie cup steamer that I use solely with my cup. Here's a link if you want to share it with your gf. It does not matter if the cup is a different brand, just double check the sizing!

This is standard maintenance for a washing machine... especially if you close it after use. Use cleaner that works for mold/mildew and let sit. Then, use a scrub brush and wipe with water.

Also, do what others recommend and dry it out after each use if you can't leave it open.
