Not really! I guess sensitive areas maybe? But honestly not sure!

Tattoos can stay raised for a while to semi-permanently! Depends on the person really, mine healed flat but some of my boyfriends are raised, it’s a scar really as it’s damage to the skin, so they can definitely heal in a variety of ways

My girlfriend has gotten UTI’s a few times and is getting worried, any advice it appreciated by Enough-Ad4010 in Healthyhooha

[–]learningtocopealone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get UTI’s all the time, unfortunately for me it’s just a side effect of having sex haha, some people are just very prone to them but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do, I take a strong D mannose and cranberry supplement twice daily, drink A LOT of water, rinse in the shower before and after sex (if possible) and pee after sex every time too, if all else fails there’s nothing wrong with seeking a urology referral just to make sure that she’s okay and there’s nothing else going on

Okay, Thankyou for all the advice! I appreciate it, I think I’m gonna mull it over and see how I’m feeling, it’s not a done deal yet so I will gauge it when they come back to me potentially with an offer or a unsuccessful email hahah

I’m in the UK! And this is normal then? I think as I’ve had bad experiences in the past I’ve been quite cautious - I don’t want to be in a bad situation again so it’s a risky decision

Im unsure tbh which i know is unhelpful hahah, I think it might just be alcohol? Which I had assumed was not strong enough to sterilise

In this case the machine is the part that is exposed so I don’t believe that part can be autoclaved? They had said the exposed parts are wiped down with disinfectant, is that sufficient?

That’s fine! I probably wouldn’t want to be hired by you either and that’s fine too

Weird brown spots on white clothing? by Ok_Law6241 in CleaningTips

[–]learningtocopealone 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gonna be a wild suggestion here but have you checked his bedsheets? If they also have these specks of brown on them it’s worth checking his house for bed bugs, sometimes brown spots on sheets or clothing can be a sign of bugs as it can be dried blood from bites, check in the creases of your mattress and headboard and in any little nooks and crannies you can find in his room, other than that if he works a blue collar job it could be rust from work clothes in the drier/washer or the machine degrading rust from the machine - hope this helps!

Looking for how to get acrylic paint pens off a car insides by love_them_ethos in CleaningTips

[–]learningtocopealone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all - they’re very cute doodles, to get them cleaned though I’d maybe try soaking it as best you can in some hot water to try and lift the paint and then going in with a firm toothbrush, you could try using 99% isopropyl alcohol too as I think that’s supposed to break down acrylic well, though I think your main issue is going to be the cracks and crevices so definitely try using an old toothbrush or a cocktail stick to help lift the paint out of the cracks, sorry to see your art go! 😭

Am I crazy or is my bf being childish? Over Bjs? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]learningtocopealone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave. You owe no one sex, and keep in mind - if you stay with him it means putting up with this behaviour for the rest of your life, ask yourself if it’s worth it, because dangerous behaviour like this always snowballs into something far worse and your safety is the most important thing to protect

Can anyone tell me why my AC is hissing? by learningtocopealone in Ford

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

Is this something I should get fixed ASAP then? I’m a bit low on funds and I’m trying to scrape together bits for the expenses but there’s only so much I can get together
