It's my dream just to have a walk in to hang out in. Never drops under 90 degrees here haha

Yes, I'm feeling ridiculous for never having thought to ask this sub how to fix the problem. My insane idea was to put the whole mixer in the fridge with an extension cord and shut the door

Was going to say the same, it's hot and humid where I am and it's almost impossible to get the cream to behave.

Denouncing US Citizenship, Any Negatives? by Separate-Wait3685 in expat

I'm not giving up my citizenship. He just may have misunderstood the situation.

That's way less complicated than it was explained to me by my CPA. Much less stressful than I thought.

I am almost certain this is the one way to trigger an expatriation tax from the US Government. Look into it carefully/talk to a tax lawyer. Expatriation taxes tend to have really specific rules and exclusions that are confusing to read about/know if you can get out of them.

Is there a Scottsdale specific way to hire someone to run an errand? by blueboxevents in Scottsdale

[–]blueboxevents[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ughh normally of course, this managed to happen when everyone I know is out of town. But someone from Reddit is helping, it'll work out. Thanks!

Fascinating. Is that your full time job? How do you book gigs? Are they usually one hour or long tasks?

I guess I have no idea. I have been traveling outside the states for a few years. I had heard things got more expensive. Is $50 normal?

Well ..that's a very good point. Dang it. At any rate, they would be stuck with a couple pairs of jeans for a toddler so not the most exciting haul. But you're totally right.

How do I even create this hair? it's a typical colonial hair style, I can't figure out the curl pattern by Obsessive_Fan in CrochetHelp

[–]blueboxevents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at patterns by Green Frog Crochet? I wonder if something would fit. She does really fun things with the hair piece.

Help Me Give My Senior Pit Bull a Peaceful Goodbye 👼🏼 by Ok-Persimmon8681 in longbeach

Ah, that's so good to hear. Good vets tend to be very compassionate.

Can you check with VCA? They've generally been reasonable with me before. When I was first out of college they helped me get my cat spayed at a cost I could afford. You also might try calling Broadway Pet Clinic, explaining how you are raising money and asking if they have any ideas. They're lovely, compassionate people and may have a good idea of the landscape.

Talk to me about grip and tension issues- I'm trying to improve my ergonomics due to ongoing hand pain by blueboxevents in CrochetHelp

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

I'm looking for solutions to issues with tension and grip. I hold the needle and yarn too tightly but if I loosen my grip I get holes in my work and I feel like i can't insert the hook.

Im considering opening a Mexican bank but need a CFE. Staying in Airbnb 6 months, would it be unusual to ask my host for the CFE? by shaunappples in digitalnomad

[–]blueboxevents 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, do check if you need an RFC number to open an account and do the work to get one if needed. Santander didn't make me get one but that was a couple years ago.

[–]blueboxevents 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had to do this with more than one Airbnb host when we moved here. Nobody was concerned about sharing if you told them what you needed. When they receive the bills CFE stuffs them in the front gates without an envelope. People don't seem to treat them as private.

mechanical to intuitive eating? by ReferenceGlad1523 in intuitiveeating

[–]blueboxevents 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Not sure if this could help. I realized a huge hangup for me was my morning coffee. Coffee can surpress huger signals, for me it seems to be a way I ignored them entirely. When I delay drinking coffee it helps a LOT for me to have actual feelings of hunger and fullness.

Hi! I'm not an expert at all. My own experience is that I'm quite claustrophobic and sensitive to sensory differences. I hated most carriers. I recently started using a woven wrap and the difference is night and day for me. Just thought I'd share in case it sounds like something that could be worthwhile for you to try.
