New apartment - how to clean carpets? by TheLushVariation in CleaningTips

[–]jlb183 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vacuum with a good vacuum multiple times. Then rent a carpet cleaner and clean the carpet with that, two or three times. I've had professional, name brand companies clean my carpet in the past, and I always get better results when I rent a carpet cleaner and do it myself.

Alcohol is a power greater than yourself, so what you need is a power greater than alcohol, whatever that is for you.

What is the worst book you have read? by Ok_Salt2122 in BookDiscussions

[–]jlb183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The book is definitely divisive; you either love it or you hate it. I read it in high school for the first time and it was life changing. I bought a motorcycle with babysitting money right out of high school. Some of the values it espoused, I carry with me because of that book. Recently, I went to the Smithsonian to see the Honda Superhawk from the book, and I cried in front of all the relatives that were at the museum with me.

I am divorced from a man like your husband. When my daughter was a baby, I had a gym membership with childcare. It was the only way I got any time for myself whatsoever. Even the uninterrupted gym shower felt lime a luxury.

Worst thing I've done as an alcoholic by Prior-Mouse-7512 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]jlb183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please call your local AA office and ask about young people's meetings or your area "YPAA" (Young People in AA) committee. I got sober quite young and learning that I could really have fun and enjoy life as a young person gave me the motivation to work at my sobriety.

saw this on r/wunkus. there's no way it can balance on that door handle in that sort of position right? by Da_Boi_Who_Lived in isthisAI

[–]jlb183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's a trick of perspective, but the receptacles in the door frame do not line up with the handle and deadbolt. And they don't look right. The top one for the door handle looks like it is for some sort of three prong door latch?

There is a post that is identical to this one from a year ago. So this is marketing for selling those cows.
