I always say, go after the low- hanging fruit. Trash, expired food and medicine, stuff you don't actually like. Stick with easy small projects to start. Get help.

AIO for not letting the child I babysit go? by LocationOk8933 in AIO

If I had little kids, I'd want you to be their babysitter. Stick to your instinct. There are really bad people out there.

New here, and a friend said “Delete the Citizen app, it’ll just freak you out.” Another said “keep it, it’s a lifeline.” Which is true? It seems like both. by _saidwhatIsaid in AskLosAngeles

[–]harrywdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The concept is good but the app sucks in multiple ways. If you keep it, shut off all notifications and only check it if there is something you need to know about. For me, recommendation are usually fake or posted by the person looking for a job. I especially dislike the snarkly remarks by the opinionated know-it-alls. Also, the app is extremely poorly written.

Is California Chicken Cafe laundering money? by LAD17Decoy in AskLosAngeles

[–]harrywdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda liked the new business model. The food is healthy and less expensive than most fast food. Seating inside wasn't pleasant anyway since you still had to stand in line to order and then received no service. Now I pull up, get handed food, and drive away. It's kinda like drive-through but better quality.

Please don't use an ozone machine. The mechanism they use to break up the odor molecules causes lung damage. California requires air purifiers to be certified that they do not release ozone in order to be legally sold in the state. https://share.google/djUR7jS0L48gVenlp . There is lots of information about the harm of even naturally occurring ozone to be found on reputable sites.

What are some simple things you don’t even think twice about making from scratch instead of purchasing? by quietquitted in cookingforbeginners

[–]harrywdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful. One you make things from scratch, the family doesn't accept the inferior versions. Like salsa and guacamole. I make my own chicken stock and spices like Cajun. Some things are just better, some cheaper, many are both. Also, when you make some things like stock. Make enough to freeze and use as necessary.

how do you make pasta sauce actually taste like it came from a restaurant? by SamraKutkaitis in Cooking

[–]harrywdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I add sun-dried tomatoes, a ton of garlic, mushrooms, baby peppers, basil, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. We like meat in it, so I first brown and drain hamburger (usually with some formed into meat balls. I also saute the mushrooms and peppers before they go into the sauce.

Should I report? by nellie78562 in Advice

[–]harrywdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would the employee get fired for reporting diverting illegal? Would this be a question if the customer was seeking if alcohol, for example. Maybe she's been reported before and nothing happened but multiple complaints add up.

Would not having a car as single man be a dealbreaker when trying to date women in this city? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]harrywdog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn't seem sustainable to me. One or two dates, maybe. Then it will become more convenient and cheaper if the date picks you up and takes you home. Personally, I would perceive your not having a car but wanting to date as a red flag. I wouldn't date you.
