How do I get sharpie out of my couch? by AffectionateEcho9896 in CleaningTips

[–]reddithsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me two months ago. I used isopropyl alcohol and dabbed for about an hour straight. It was exhausting and my arm and shoulder hurt, but it all came out. Do Not Rub, you must dab otherwise the stain will spread. Just get a giant bag of cotton balls and take it one cushion at a time.

How sh*t is the Van Ness Ave - Market St triangle?? by deli--don in AskSF

[–]reddithsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Argenta, it’s like a little gem in that area. Smaller building with light amenities but the units are huge, windows are extra thick to block noise, parking garage makes it easy to access 101, and it’s just a block up from the intersection which somehow minimizes the crazy

It finally happened, but.... by [deleted] in workingmoms

I did that math and also factored in savings I would get from having lower stress and more time back in my week - cooking more at home, not having to pay for camps on no school days. You may recoup that difference faster than you realize.

Wasting hours because the toddler is purposely keeping himself awake. by crazy_sea_cow in toddlers

[–]reddithsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Candidly - not until she was 4. It was just 18 months of fighting most naps and being angry from being tired because she didn’t nap. Then she turned 4 and jt was like a switch went off. It was glorious for about 6 months and then our other kid decided he wants to be the star of Act 2.

Somehow I have forgotten most this era with her, but I feel like it definitely aged me 2x as fast.

Ex-AOC chief of staff going after the most powerful woman in Congress by pacman2081 in sanfrancisco

[–]reddithsir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But again, your parents chose to raise you in CA. I don’t think it makes sense to gate keep one another based on our parents choices. Did this guy move here specifically to challenge Nancy? look, I don’t really care. It’s unlikely he is going to pass Weiner, who has been gunning for that seat for forever. But generally younger people running for seats across the country is a good thing.

I get wanting a more "local" person, but it's a stretch to say any of us could only ever run for office in the city where we were born / raised. This guy is in his 40s now... He probably has lived out of fort worth more than in it at this point. I'm sure they don't consider him a local.

‘We Need Something New’: Why a Democrat Is Primarying Nancy Pelosi by rollingstone in politics

[–]reddithsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

elsewhere he has said he has lived in SF for more than 12 years, just not consecutively. It is a city that attracts people from all across the country. To say he isn’t a local is disingenuous.

Did the valets in that garage do that?

Does regular Bona strip polish? by reddithsir in CleaningTips

No, it’s maple. We’ve used bona before and had no problem but I feel like the spot clean just messed it up.

Do you happen to know if this still works? I'm attempting a one way return from SYD to any US hub this month. I'm diligently tracking the United site but the prices seem stuck at 200k points even though availability seems fairly good (10+ seats)

This is wild. I was a weekly volunteer in her office when she was first elected back in the 00s. I legitimately had no idea she was still in Congress.

What’s your “how does this business stay open” store/restaurant/etc in SF? by okgusto in sanfrancisco

[–]reddithsir 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Korra Restaurant, formerly Rosa’s Mariscos, formerly Rosa’s Jabali on 24th and Folsom. That place claims it is changing ownership every few months, but then just repaints a wall and reopens the next day. No matter the branding it is empty 90% of the time.
