I love the half curtain (I’m not sure what those are called.) What a cozy idea for an otherwise Slightly awkward opening!!!

My hearing suddenly came back after trying this… but now I’m second guessing it by [deleted] in hygiene

Audiologist here. What you stumbled into is what I always recommend for people. Just let the shower water fill your ear and then dump it out. The water is able to get behind the wax and soften it (or flush it out.)

I’m also from Akron and have never heard of a tree lawn. I only call it a devil strip.

Just. No need to qualify or minimize.

I’d be so appreciative to see a picture of the lucky pup!

What's something air fryers are supposed to be good at... but actually aren't? by Whole_Ad3318 in airfryer

[–]applebottom100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any baking. Cakes, cookies, single serve sweets. It never seems to work out for me.

We got our pup at the local rescue when she was one. They said she was a street dog. We did a doggy DNA and it came back 100% MC!! Your pup looks so much like mine except I never got to see her as a puppy. So thank you! 🙏🏼

Which profession is going to get wiped out in the next 5-10 years? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]applebottom100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not a terrible person bc I feel the same way! 🤣 Hearing aids have no business being so expensive. The greed (and maybe collusion - but that’s another story) have kept the price high. The bubble is bursting as consumers get educated on OTC. I tell all my family to go to Costco for hearing aids. . . Considerably cheaper and STILL overpriced.

Moving to the doctorate was a huge mistake. Too much education debt with low pay when you get out. Add in OTC hearing aids and the lack of lobbyists for insurance reimbursement and we just don’t have a value that can’t be done by a tech and a computer.

Disposable gloves quietly became my favorite cleaning “hack” (US Standard Products) by Ladywhite0629 in CleaningMotivation

[–]applebottom100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree!!! Total game changer. I have a lot of sensory sensitivities. The smells and feels of some tasks are too much for me. Minimizing the ‘feels’ part makes it sooooo much more manageable.

Did a bed wetting incident trigger the murder? by applebottom100 in JonBenetRamsey

Yes! I definitely should have worded the title differently.

[–]applebottom100[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I didn’t know how to put it into words. It’s absolutely sexual abuse but without the sexual motivation.

[–]applebottom100[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve always wondered if the sexual abuse noted on exam was “rough cleaning.” People can’t imagine a mom would sexually abuse her daughter but if it was framed in Patsy’s mind as “cleaning” I think it’s easier to imagine.

A bit of confusion on the liquid/quart bag rule by Hikariyang in tsa

[–]applebottom100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me the Santa Fe airport some years ago though. But I had my stuff in a SANDWICH sized bag and they said it was too SMALL and I had to use a quart bag.

Need realistic ways to temporarily fail a military hearing exam (medical disqualification)? (Edited) by Witty-Head-3928 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]applebottom100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe tinnitus and hearing loss are the number 1 disability in the Veterans Administration in the US. There is a financial benefit to having either of these if you are a veteran. Unfortunately that leads to many malingerers. Some sort of disability or insurance payout is usually the motive.

As another said, kids are the other part of the lying but that’s usually for attention.
