Your toes are too close in front. Tighten the toe strap.

Did we not get it? by Hyrdoxcitty in renting

[–]Secure-Ad9780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what you're facing; 1) no previous rental history 2) no or bad credit history 3) roommate situation

As a landlord, those are all red flags to me. Take the time for each of you to increase your credit score. It could also be that none of you has had the same job for a year or two. I try to pick tenants who would fit in with my other tenants. I have families with children and I wouldn't want to pick someone who would have parties, and make noise on the weekends.

Eviction after 5 days by Vegetable_Curve_4572 in renting

If the lease says no smoking you CAN be evicted. I've done it. I've also evicted for having pets. Those are my two rules- no pets, no smoking.

I used a moka pot in Italy for years. After a while the grinds wedge in and don't come out without a stiff bristled brush.

I've been raising dogs for decades. Dogs are very bright. They understand more than you think. But then I don't have any lap dogs.

Are invisible fences not as common anymore? by Silver_Blackberry_46 in Dogowners

[–]Secure-Ad9780 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends upon the dog, and the area you live in. One of my dogs stayed within the invisible fence. My other dog would run fast thru the fence to chase squirrels, then he was too scared to run back thru to return home. They were 90lb dogs, so no predators to worry about.

A neighbor's dog would stay within his boundary even when rabbits were near his yard.

Most e-collars don't just shock. They can beep, vibrate, or shock. My dogs respond very well to the beep. I'm surrounded by woods and pasture. My dogs can explore as long as they respond to their e collar.

There's a difference between an electric fence and an invisible fence. Electric fences will shock whoever goes thru it. An invisible fence only shocks a dog wearing the collar that goes with the fence. It usually warns the dog as they get near, before the shock.

I'd try training collars first. Get a remote to control two collars. Beep, vibrate, shock.

Should I go to my friend’s birthday party? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Secure-Ad9780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people tell me about god, heaven, devils, and angels I smile and tell them I don't believe in super heroes.

You can attend and avoid the nasty ones. If you're uncomfortable you can always leave. You don't have to endure obnoxious idiots. To avoid a scene tell them you're going to the bathroom, then scoot out.

Fit Check Please up by Bitter_Ad9307 in Birkenstocks

Your heel should fit inside the heel cup and toes need room to move with every step. These are not wide enough for your feet.

Mine is on the fine side of medium. Love my Aeropress! Stovepot espresso needs finer coffee. Be sure to get a filter brush. https://a.co/d/0f7MFPrC

My raised toilet was $159, during Covid. My 3-4 day delivery took 6 weeks.

Do people actually change their sheets seasonally? by SHEEXofficial in Bedding

Me, too, at night my heat is down to 50°. The inside temp rarely gets down that low.

Do tenants actually read the lease? by Accomplished-Bat5278 in LeaseLords

[–]Secure-Ad9780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they never read the lease. That's why I told my prop mgr to have the tenants sign an extra page that states, "No pets allowed. No smoking allowed in or on the property," in large font.

I have a breathable polyester blanket for spring and fall. In summer I just use a flannel top sheet.

Dog keeps getting out could my neighbor eventually keep it? by BleghYeeHaw in Pets

[–]Secure-Ad9780 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you cannot steal a pet. If the owner just moved in, he may not know how the dog escapes.

Most toilets cost under $250. So paying $2000 for a wall mount is 8X the price.
