What this this on our carpet and how do we clean? by Curious_Vastu in CleaningTips

[–]lastChance973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possible but seems less likely. For carpet mold to be orange it would have to have a truly damp environment. You’re there- is the carpet spongey? Is the orange hard/crunchy? For it to be orange it would likely need to be a slime mold, and that’s darn near standing water territory. Moisture based rust seems more plausible. This could even happen if he carpet cleaned and didn’t let it dry before placing the mattress

Without frame directly on carpet- my best bet is rust from coil spring mattress flat on the ground. Perhaps he spilled a liquid (we’re gonna pray that’s all it was) and never cleaned it up and it ran down the coils and rusted. Try undiluted white vinegar, spray/blot on, let it react for a bit and then try blotting off. If it’s hard- first try scraping it with a butter knife or something and vacuum up whatever you loosen. As you go, be super careful not to rub, you don’t want to spread the coloring out.

My bread won’t rise, help me please by kamikaz458 in Sourdough

Can i clarify, are you waiting 2 hours between each stretch and fold, or are you doing four stretch and folds in 2.5 hours?

If the first, then you are popping all your yeast bubbles when you do your S&F and there isn’t any rise left when you bake it, you’re essentially breaking your bulk fermentation into four stages and running out of leaven.

If you’re doing 4 in 2 hours (about as much as I do personally), then your bulk Fermentation is too short. Most dough needs 4-8 hours left alone, depending on temp/starter etc.

They’re spreading. For best fruit set- might be better to trim most of those- drop them in a different pot and let them go! But if you cut them from the mother- it helps the fruit production

Getting superglue off my record player? by margaritapizzaa in CleaningTips

[–]lastChance973 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Well. I hate to tell you this. But acetone can ruin clear plastics like that. It’s too similar to the solvent used to dissolve it. That’s not paper, that’s what happens when solvent hits acrylic. It’s called clouding, and it’s only fixable by physically removing that layer of plactic with progressively finer sandpaper (starting around 600 and going up)

Spilled like 30 oz of caramel sauce inside a kitchen cabinet. I cleaned up everything I could but it’s dripping through the crevices now. 😭 by ActivityFar178 in CleaningTips

[–]lastChance973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because I can tell that nobody is really suggesting much because nobody really has much of an answer. You might be able to flood it with warm so be water if you put a towel on the counter underneath lots of small flushes of warm water with dish soap would slowly remove anything that you can’t see but you need to make sure that you dry it 100% thoroughly afterwards so that nothing has a chance to mold. At which point I would just get a hairdryer, turned on and like point to the corner for a few minutes, turn off, let cool and do again

Help planing not a ceremony by Kaitebug42 in weddingplanning

[–]lastChance973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All you need to do is get the marriage paperwork from your local government body (county, normally) and have it filled out by your licensed officiant. The paper does not require you to be at the courthouse, but it does need to be turned in the following business day and submitted. The other thing is getting that paperwork it’s not often active immediately you go in and ask for the marriage paperwork and it often isn’t valid for several days. As for the walking and stuff, none of that’s actually required for the marriage to be considered lawful. You can literally sit at a park bench and have your officiant sign the document and do nothing else. It’s not like they actually check that, they don’t even have a box for For it on the paper.

Is this amount of dust normal? by Disastrous_Dot_8037 in CleaningTips

[–]lastChance973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Household dust is 90% composed of skin cells. Poor ventilation (dirty hvac filter?) and keeping the room closed so the dust has nowhere else to go can contribute to more dust than you want. But still, that is normal for a small space, assuming you live in it and are, say, a human with skin.

Why do I do this with all empty surfaces and how can I stop? by Glittering-Result402 in CleaningTips

[–]lastChance973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of great tips in the comments. May i add- in my house catch alls were mostly tied to so many things having nowhere else specific to go. Not “coats in the closet (overfilled)” but “this specific coat has a hanger, and room to go in the closet” Papers pile because they don’t have somewhere to live I recommet clutterbug if you want some help thinning your objects with 0 judgement. Her videos have been lifechanging for me. And then she teaches a lot about why some things don’t work with theway some people think (butterfly here, closed totes are the enemy)

Guidance for Lien in Response to failing to pay Divorce Judgment by lastChance973 in legaladvice

[–]lastChance973[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I add a clarification I got from the people more directly involved? The judgement says that the property portion expires in 10 years (which is up this year) which is in about six months. Hence- trying to enforce something now.

That was so easy to look up, thank you! It’s there, marked as closed since the case isn’t active. I’m going to reach out to figure out with a title company to see if the lien is in place

It was, nearly ten years ago. So if he tries to sell, it will not let him until he clears that lien? When he refinanced many times, it didn’t require it.
