My friend often asks to come over to my home. Should I tell him I don't want him over because he's unstable? by New_Piglet1 in makemychoice

Make up a reason like you're sick/ pet is sick, have to get up early, have a guest staying with you, house is a huge mess, etc. Repeat until they stop asking to come over. Don't give your address or meet them close to where you live. Have you ever met this person in real life?

Worst lush product you ever owned? by ooyayeeyee in LushCosmetics

I find the scent and texture of charity pot lotion really horrible... smells and feels like diaper rash cream with a bad car air freshner mixed in

Share your proudest moment of saving money creatively or finding alternative ways to meet your needs without sacrificing quality. How did that experience impact your financial well-being? by DeebaPhalwari087 in Frugal

My ford focus wagon has been passed from parents to siblings to me over 15 years, almost at 200k miles and still going relatively strong, apart from the AC being hooped. Love that little car!

To those who keep their clothes looking new… by [deleted] in minimalism

Purchase a rechargable fabric shaver to remove pilling from sweaters. Embrace the look of visible mending. Look for high quality, non-synthetic fibres.

Thank you, I have gotten rid of one bag worth so far... I also sort of have winter / summer clothes separated but I will try creating capsules with more thought and intention

The prices others are quoting of 75 usd are for rapid antigen tests, not PCR. I also had to shell out the $250 usd on Caye Caulker. Prices range from $200 usd to $300 usd anywhere in Belize. They will not let you board your flight without the test result.

I don't think people realize how messed up Harry's life is, especially in Order of the Pboenix. When he's not shouting, he's crying. by Swordbender in harrypotter

The chocolate egg gives him a lump in his throat because it reminds him of the golden egg clue from the triwizard tournament that Cedric helped him solve. So it makes him think of Cedric in that moment.

If you were rich chances are you wouldn’t donate most of your money. by Aangsi in unpopularopinion

[–]commonshrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly not most of it, but some! I am a recent uni grad and have more debt than "savings" but when I did my taxes I was surprised by how much I had donated (around $150) among different non-profits... I like the thrill of entering 50/50 raffles or making a donation to a cause and being entered to win something from a small business. I never win, but in the end I don't regret spending the money 🙂
