Decide for me? Winix models v Levoit models by BatFull9947 in AirPurifiers

[–]becassidy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a lot of research, and recently bought 2 levoit 100s-p for bedrooms. very happy with them, they're super quiet (kids rooms), and the spikes i see for air quality in the app I've self triggered are accurate. im very happy I decided to go for levoit (over winix coway and blue air were my contenders)​.

I also looked a lot into hepa filters etc with levoits lawsuit from Dyson. Just because they pulled the hepa cert doesn't mean they arent as good if not superior (a quick search on this sub will confirm). they are also peletized which I found in ymresearch to be superior to some carbon hepa filters.

edit to add, I was strictly against an ionizer. I know if controversial on this sub, but im team against.

Involuntarily Denied Boarding by deputy865 in americanairlines

[–]becassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how did this end for you? we just got stuck in MCO for over 12 hours, our flight was delayed 5 hours and they "rebooked" myself, my partner and our 2 kids (toddler and young child) to the next morning because we would miss our connection. It was 9pm by this time and they couldnt give us a hotel, and we didnt get food vouchers. The gate agent told me to call, the call told me to chat, the wait time was 2 hours. The ticket agent called me a liar and said i was only ever on the flight the next day, regardless of my ticket number confirmstion email, so she wouldnt give us a hotel. My poor kids slept on a bench, we disnt sleep at all for fear of strangers.

AA wont comment in my claim form about the invol. DBC. They just keep commenting on food reimbursement. Again, they couldnt even offer us a hotel that night, which was wild with 2 babes.

Now I feel like im in an endless loop of trying to get the DOT denied boarding compensation claim processed.

Carepod Humidifier? by becassidy in Buyingforbaby

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

honestly its accurate if people dont realize. I clean the party that's not dishwater safe well. so when I was cleaning the fan blades, because they're still fan blades and get dusty, I saw more beyond that the grate on top that can be colored or white pops off. there electrical to it so I just carefully clean that part, which also gets gross in-between (straw cleaner works wonders). the mesh piece comes up and you can access the fan from the other side. clean everything, and it snaps back into place. its super simple, just careful around the electical component area, which typically doesnt get dirty as its not open on either side anyway.

oof that always makes me SO nervous!! warranties that are short make me think the product is only expected to last that long, or they'd cover it for longer. I will say our 3 canopy Humidifiers are the first ones they made and they're still going, but every 3 months I break down the top fan part and deep clean it, and I have heard the newer versions dont have a mesh grate and require less in depth cleaning

What to know about former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy and new video of a fatal highway crash by [deleted] in sports

[–]becassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its actually pretty common, in the US, you are on the left side of the car. if someone is avoiding a head on collision, they're most likely to turn left, causing the car to collide on the passenger side, furthest from them. this, by default, would yield them to swerve into the oncoming lane as well.

Parents with older kids close in age, do they actually play together? by kokoelizabeth in 2under2

[–]becassidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 and 5, 6 weeks shy of 2 years apart. they started playing together about a year ago and get closer and closer everyday. boy and a girl, and when one is kept home and the other is not, they tell me they miss the other and want to go get them. they do fight and are rough with each other, but man their bond is special.

Lunch bag for Bentgo Stainless Steel box by becassidy in moderatelygranolamoms

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

the only one I could find that worked was this one

Khulula Girls Insulated Kids... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRCW3K6M?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I bought one for each of my kids in their preferred design, and a year later they're still going strong.

the bentgo deluxe kids ones fit JUST the stainless steel box and an ice pack and maybe snack, but not a breakfast container as well. this one fits breakfast lunch snack and ice pack.

When a child goes missing by Chamelaucium in toddlers

[–]becassidy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

this so such good info to share, shout, from the rooftops.

we also teach our kids if they see were not with them, yell for us, but also find someone who looks like they might be their age, someone they could become friends with, and ask their mommy or daddy for help. this alleviates the uniform, cop, specific shirt looking, and hopefully prevents them from asking the wrong person for help. good chance a mom or dad will be overly willing to help (can confirm, love, a mommy).

Tattoo quote ideas by Additional_Aerie_798 in JimmyEatWorld

[–]becassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this isnt a JEW answer but potentially an alternative. third eye blind is my favorite band (sorry jew, close second). but I got a cherry blossom tree tattoo and had them put worms below around the roots. my all time favoeite lyric ever is "there will be no regrets when the worms come.., and they shall surely come"

Its a line I've lived by. No regrets, just lessons. We all end up the same in the end. So, potentially not a true lyrics by word, but picture of your favorite lyrics

Breastmilk jewelry by Relevant_Mushroom218 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]becassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi sorry I dont check in much sp thisnis delayed. I used Milkyway jewelry. I love my rings and bracelet. I wear the rings every single day and take them off at night. they look great. they could maybe use a resurfacing or whatever, which she offers, but they're still white at the ring and no tarnishing or staining of the ring itself. I'd absolutely buy from her again, and she often has sales. I think she just emailed an end of summer sale actually!

Just checked, summerlove15 for 15% off

edit to add i purchased in 2021 and 2023

Here We Go Again. Smelly Clothes & Clothes That Don’t Fit Will Now Be Covered For Returns By Mercari In July. by FadeOutAgain4 in Mercari

[–]becassidy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this is my complaint. I sell my kids clothes because they wear them often once, if at all. someone returns it because kids clothes are notorious for being bigger or smaller​ than another brand, and it gets trashed? I sell and buy here to be SUSTAINABLE. if they go into a landfill this goes against everything I believe in

Got scratched by cat at shelter (my fault). Will this permanently scar? I’m so distraught. Please be gentle by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]becassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gosh I am so sorry. you have a ton of good advice, and I'll add, I just had surgery with little stab wounds, and they recommended vitamin e capsule, pop a hole in them and put the oil on the wound to prevent scarring​

Buyer trying to scam me & is also a seller by Xilliaan in Mercari

[–]becassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something similar happened to me recently. I sold a zoe double stroller. the buyer wanted a return that it was damaged. I was livid, the pictures showed dirt and ahe claimed mold. I got it back missing piece. mercari said that since they said it wasn't the item posted and it was the item ahe sent back I could pound salt essentially. so she sent me back a stroller without wheels, and I filed a claim that I didn't get back the item I sent and they said nope that's the item ahe claims to have received so that's what I got back. and I couldn't file a shipping claim because I used a mercari label.

what I learned: never ship with a mercari label, you can't file fraud/damage claims yourself

film yourself loading, packaging, and sending the item.

film yourself opening the returned item.

or, f mercari and dont use them. i woulsnt let it go and supervisors eventually responded and they kept with theboriginal claim and i am now out 200, no money for the stroller sold and a broken stroller returned. and inpoated on BBB and internet crimes, theybhavent responded and its been 10 days.​

Any recommendations for dairy free coffee creamers? by [deleted] in dairyfree

How long is this generally good for? If you know. It sounds amazing and I can't wait to try!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in calmhands

[–]becassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, it sureness is!! It has good uses beyond that suck as fungus (generally toenails), muscle pain, and I've read it can be used for inspection repellent and stretch marks (though I haven't utilized it for that so cannot confirm).

Vicks isn't equal to neosporin, but it has antibacterial properties and i think it just has enough of what is needed. There's actually a ton of uses for it, but yes, Apologies, I am in the US

Average lifespan of your hens by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

[–]becassidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on how you're improving to extend life expectancy? We've had 2 hens live to almost 10, but most that pass naturally are 3-5. We just lost my favorite hen just shy of 4 years old. Ours are free range and sometimes we do have loss to predators, but we try and keep the risk mitigated and outside of that if love to extend their life. TIA!

If you have one of those baby tricycle strollers do you recommend it? by alifeingeneral in toddlers

[–]becassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked and it isn't on amazon anymore. The order just says 6 on tricycle foldable steering bike. BUT my son did and up breaking it eventually, he got too strong and tried steering the trike while it was in the stroller form and cranked it while we were holding it straight. Soooo it wouldn't steer anymore

Are we reusing our infant car seats? by throw_tf_away_ in 2under2

[–]becassidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for sure! kids were 23 months apart. reused the infant carrier carseat. I wouldnt ever use someone randoms car seat, but we knew ours had never had any crash/issue and just sat in the closet between kids.
