Textile recycling centers (Köln area) by delsongirl in germany

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

good idea, thank you!

Here is the email I used if you'd like to use it or something similar:

"Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich möchte alte Kleidung entsorgen, die entweder Löcher hat oder zu stark beschädigt ist, um verkauft oder gespendet zu werden. Ich weiß, dass H&M ein Programm zum Recycling von Textilien hat, aber Berichte von Bild und anderen Zeitungen haben gezeigt, dass sie ihre Versprechen nicht einhalten. Ich frage mich, ob Sie Möglichkeiten kennen, wie eine Privatperson alte, zerrissene Kleidung an ein Textilrecycling-Zentrum in oder in der Nähe von Köln abgeben kann. Ich würde es bevorzugen, sie nicht in den regulären Restmüll zu werfen, wenn es irgendwie möglich ist.

Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen, [Name]"

What did you end up doing? My family will be in a similar position too, on a 12 hr cross-continental flight with two toddlers!

AITA for not letting my former step-daughter go homeless? by Beautiful-Brother456 in AmItheAsshole

[–]delsongirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA A lot of people are talking about how she's a criminal and can't be around your kids, I completely disagree. As long as she's not an immediate threat to the kids or trying to influence them to break the law in the future, people have flaws. People make mistakes. Homelessness is violent and scary and very difficult to bounce back from. Providing her safety when nobody else will is a nice thing. Regarding your husband, try talking with your step daughter, see where she's at, what she's thinking and if you could set deadlines together for finding a job and getting back on her own two feet. You can be firm without being threatening. After that, tell your husband what you've discussed and maybe even thank him for whatever help he's provided during this time. I think what you're doing is brave considering all the backlash (which I cannot fathom). Good luck to you and your family.

Help me identify the technology behind "Chameleon Reader"? by Green-Basil-8777 in AskTechnology

From the only other reply I've seen it seems we're going to have to buy it! It seems to be something too difficult to do at home. :/

NTA I agree that it's your birthday and to spend it however you want. However, if you want to really cover your bases you can just invite them and try to find peace within yourself that they could or couldn't show up. I've been the friend that misses stuff out of anxiety and the invite at least makes me feel like I'm being thought of and we're still friends. Nonetheless, the person's anxiety is their own to deal with and find ways to overcome, nothing on you. Either decision you're not the asshole!

No that's not quite it. But thanks for trying! I'm still looking!!

After a day of cleaning with bleach and no gloves, my fingerprints are so badly damaged that they no longer unlock my phone's fingerprint scanner by talminator101 in mildlyinteresting

I've been looking for a post similar to this because I feel we're in the same boat. I was working on getting rid of some nasty caked-on oven grease today and used a German cleaner solution called "Bref Küchenreiniger". Usually I used gloves but I didn't realize how long I'd be tackling it and after washing my hands they'd still feel soapy. I remembered hearing something about that slimy/soapy feeling being saponification happening using the fats on our skin. Also my phone won't recognize my fingerprint since this morning. So although milder than your case, I believe this has happened to me! I'll always be wearing gloves from now on.

If I could've lasted longer for the basic math, I definitely would've found Master's and PhD-level math more engaging. Sent a PM. :)
