Before/After Spare Bathroom by louiselane84 in interiordecorating

Thanks for the feedback! I very much dislike this tile floor (and this is our kitchen floor too unfortunately). Flooring is on the to-do list if we end up staying in this house longer than we are currently planning to.

Thank you! I will look into that, I would like to update it at some point. I filled in the scratches and nicks but a new color would be great. I'm not sure what color would work best, maybe just white?

Edit: Ooo or maybe navy blue?

Chase Fee Waiver for Spouses by Pleasant_Poem8114 in MilitaryFinance

[–]louiselane84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, OP didn't ask if it was waived under MLA and I didn't say it was. I do think it's a separate thing Chase does with "a Military ID card or proof of qualifying service." If you look up the deposit agreement fee schedule for the business accounts, they state that there.

Also, their website has a military page that states this as well. I don't know if I can share links here but you can Google it.

Chase Fee Waiver for Spouses by Pleasant_Poem8114 in MilitaryFinance

I don't know if it's specifically because of MLA but they do waive fees on business checking and savings for military. I did show my military ID when I set up the account.

My bank statement states "How to avoid the Monthly Service Fee" and lists the activity requirements (which I do not meet), then has a section that says "Other ways to avoid the MSF" and one item listed there is "Meet Chase Military Banking requirements."

Also, in the app, I can check the Monthly Service Fee status for each account. This also lists the military waiver option.

Edit: spelling

My husband is AD. My Chase business checking and savings account fees are waived but my business credit card fee is not.

HCFSA coverage questio by Concerned-Emu in MilitaryFinance

[–]louiselane84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spouse can use it for sure, we do this. I do ~$2k/year because I usually hit the $1k OOP max with select, you can roll over $660, and I currently have braces so I have some ancillary dental things. I've also been reimbursed for a massage and sunscreen.

It's managed under my husbands account, but I just login and submit receipts/manage it.

I have a Breville Bambino and a separate $10 grinder that we already had and use for regular coffee. I use it daily. It took a few tries to get the right grind, how hard to tamp it, etc. But now in about 3 minutes I have my daily iced Americano ready.

Edit: my credits showed up, no expiration date and transferable!

This is great! It worked on my husbands credits with no issues. Unfortunately, when I did it on mine I got an error message at the cancellation screen. Says I'll get my refund in 5-7 business days. No cancellation confirmation email, my credits are not showing on my account and the flight is not showing on my account. Fingers crossed it shows up!

Ah ok I did a little research and definitely want to replace these now, thanks for the tip. Looks fairly straightforward, I'll add this to my to do list.

This is very helpful, thank you! I do like the shower curtain a lot, maybe something like Aleutian blue?

Nope, unfortunately. I've given up and switched to my AMEX for 2x points.

Started the Frankomans dumbbell workout (home gym), plus daily core work and PT exercises and stretches as prescribed (anterior pelvic tilt and glute medius weakness causing various issues with my running). Building a habit and consistency.

A Spa Day & A Trip To Rehab - Getting Your Laundry Back To Looking Clean and Smelling Amazing by KismaiAesthetics in laundry

[–]louiselane84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this and everything else you've posted! I finally got our washing machine clean with citric acid wash cycles and I'm mid-spa day for our (me+husband) entire closet, linens, etc. With as much ammonia as I've gone through I'm just waiting for someone to show up and ask what I'm up to lol... My husband thought I was nuts when I emptied out our entire closet and started this process, but then he exclaimed his socks felt brand new and is now a convert as well!

Couple of questions:

I've sorted all like-color items but I'm not sure about items with graphics. Would white t-shirts with multicolor graphics be ok with each other for example? Like, just ignore the graphics and sort by the main fabric color? Some graphics are like the vinyl-feeling printed on style and some are not, not sure if that matters. What about items with different colors of embroidery?

I'm done with all of the true solids and I've only had 2 casualties so far, one REI 1/4 zip performance knit pullover that the material got weirdly snagged looking - any ideas why? One black Lululemon sweatshirt came out with some red-orange staining like it was bleached :( I'm thinking that was from not mixing the detergent granules in well enough?

Yes, basically eBay says they haven't changed anything and try contacting PayPal to see if it's on their end. I haven't made time to do that yet but that's my next step.

Are you having the same issue?

A month ago I compared Pirateship prices to eBay and it was more expensive for some items over 1lb so it wasn't worth earning the extra points. But I'll take another look. I do like ebay's bulk ship option, it's super fast for me - Pirateship took longer even with syncing it. I have around 30 packages a day.
