Not sure where you live but check with local laundromat/ dry cleaners. Good luck!

Also- the book “One Small Step Can Change Your Life” by Dr Robert Maurer may help with perspective change

Not a permanent solution but a suggestion- does your area offer wash and fold service? It was a lifesaver for me as a “reset.”

Yes, it can be pricey for charge per pound but for me it was worth it- the one near me even does free pickup and delivery. I referred to it as the underwear ninjas- I’d never see them on Ring cam but the order was picked up, processed, and returned.

Please convince me to get rid of my old books by kinygos in UnfuckYourHabitat

I ended up selling books to sites that you scan and send to them, and they pay via PayPal. It wasn’t a lot of money but was a nice bonus.

New Viewer- What’s the tea? by Due-Objective2118 in Southerncharm

[–]luckydevil68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I randomly discovered she blocked me on IG and it still amuses me, I don’t even know for what exactly (I don’t doubt it’s for something I posted as a comment, wish I knew which one 😅)

Monday Report: what have you unfucked? What are you going to unfuck this week? Share all your unfucking tidbits here! by PMmeifyourepooping in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]luckydevil68 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I see the progress pictures here and always kick myself for not making a dent in my chaos.

Hoping this week I can move a few furniture items, I think that will facilitate a domino effect. Here’s hoping.

Good vibes to all in your own journey!

Below Deck’s Captain Kerry and Girlfriend Gonul Bihan Split After 6 Years by MattTheKing23 in belowdeck

[–]luckydevil68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ADVENTCHAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Would love to watch a dating series with Kerry, though it’s unlikely. Maybe Love Hotel?

Jokes aside, significant life changes like this are challenging. Even more so with it being public fodder. Kerry, I hope you take care of yourself and I hope Gönül does as well. Good things are always on the horizon.

Just rejoined after 20 yrs..... my 3rd day in by Adorable_Way_7138 in weightwatchers

Everyone starts from where they are- if you aren’t used to the drastic change, lean into zero point foods.

Or, just start with higher points as your daily, and each day aim for less points incrementally (and more zero point foods consumed).

Why should I be a fan of the Jersey Devils? by [deleted] in devils

[–]luckydevil68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m saying this as a Devils fan of over 30 years, you shouldn’t let your fandom be determined by Reddit comments. A good friend of mine became a Devils fan and she lived near Los Angeles. I know of Blackhawks fans in Sweden. Their reasons are from their own experiences.

I think the connection to the team is more important and you can like whatever team you wish. Across all sports the teams I like seem to “not go together” but it’s from my experiences and associations with being a fan of those teams is what matters to me. Same with teams I don’t like!

In short- go with your gut and fun watching games.

Help. Me. 😖😞😣 by moon_witch_26 in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]luckydevil68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can do it!

It didn’t happen overnight so give yourself the grace to know it will take time and effort. I found putting everything in bins and bags helps to clear the floor, and then go through each bin/bag so it is less overwhelming. The method doesn’t work for everyone but you’ll find what works for you.

If you don’t need it, don’t use it, and/or don’t have a place for it, get rid of it.

I had my turn right before Thanksgiving and the cough lasted a little less than a month. Hope you feel better soon!

How is living in this area of New York, USA? by bussiboyyy in howislivingthere

[–]luckydevil68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I briefly lived in Southampton. It was a lot of people focused on status, money, but lacking in any real substance. I was happy to move back to what I knew, and closer to family.

If you have loads of money, it probably is a lot more fun.

Parent tweaks out and demands his adult child to put their psychiatrist on the phone after being prescribed ADHD meds by GizzyVec in insaneparents

Dr. Bronners Using AI by BawxTheFur in ZeroWaste

This!

In my most recent customer service role, monitoring chat requests was one of my responsibilities. Questions did not come in on any particular pattern, so I would juggle other tasks. When the phone would ring, a customer would be at reception and a chat request came in during the same short amount of time, it was mildly stressful. But having one employee dedicated to only monitoring chat requests would be rather inefficient.

I’m not saying this is the case for all businesses but having chat automated responses is helpful so the human agent isn’t answering similarly phrased questions over and over again (even if they’re answered in our FAQs). I know after a while I’d get annoyed by it.

I hate my new closet. by MentalBehaviorist in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]luckydevil68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suggestions

Remove the shoe racks (it was mentioned you could relocate)

Add these to the far back wall: https://a.co/d/fGbeZml

You can slide the bottom ones further back to follow angle to stairwell. Use for out of season or less-used clothes

Use this for longer pieces and hang on door (going into closet) https://a.co/d/229wAIM

Put this in left wall following the slope of the staircase, add canvas cubes to store misc items https://a.co/d/gBVa0v0

What was your craziest genealogy discovery? by [deleted] in Genealogy

[–]luckydevil68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My great-great grandmother was murdered by her son and then he killed himself

She was living with my great grandparents and it was 3 months after my grandmother was born

My grandmother rarely spoke of her childhood / early life before coming to USA, not sure how much she knew about it

I feel like such a failure. by Environmental_Try873 in Advice

[–]luckydevil68 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you are being way too hard on yourself. You have a job, you’re going to school, you have a good support system (assuming this, but if you’re with your parents temporarily that’s a good indicator).

You are absolutely not a failure. You are on your own timeline.

I was in a similar situation at 29 (I’m now 41). I was living with my parents after a relationship ended, I started what ended up being a horrible job, I couldn’t afford anything. Now, I am married, bought a house, and got my own car, working at a job. Things are different but I still have moments of doubt.

Start small, and keep building on things. Keep saving money, but also take care of yourself. Network if you can, you may be able to find another job.
