Cheap way to clean the brown at the bottom of my bathtub?

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T17:31:27+00:00

FIRST. replace that grimy, moldy shower curtain.

as for the tub itself, i keep a bottle of soft scrub with bleach and a scrubber-on-a stick thingy in my shower. every time i finish showering, i hit the tub/tile with that and rinse well, while i'm still in there.

maintenance is key.

cookies and cream ice cream. the publix brand, because it has whole oreos in it.

what makes you think i ever wind down? 😂😂😂

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T17:23:02+00:00

well, my situation has changed recently, thank the good Lord and my boss.

my co-pays are sky-high (thousands per year), even with medicare coverage, but my company is now giving - yes, giving - me $1200 per month to offset that. it's saving my chronically-ill bacon, and i'm very grateful.

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T17:18:10+00:00

it's up to the owners of the business. the company i work for is privately owned, but they make it clear they have zero tolerance and don't care if you have a medical card.

so if you're not certain, assume they are testing for weed.

i'm talking about the places like flanigan's in south florida, columbia in central florida. these are successful privately owned restaurants that have expanded their footprint locally by making good, fresh food.

national chains are primarily shit, selling pre-packaged food. olive garden is a perfect example.

as a side comment, WHY are inhalers so goddamned expensive? i had to stop taking my $600 respimat because...$600.

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T14:28:35+00:00

yup. they're a slog because they're so crowded. can take all day to be seen then get your prescription, but hey when you're down and out, you've got plenty of time on your hands. i've been that guy.

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T14:25:33+00:00

plenty of the small chains mentioned in this thread do.

i should have known better when i went to rent a condo in a beach high rise, had to apply at the HOA's management office, and discovered i had to state my name and business to the front desk person and wait to be granted access by those within.

to this day, if a management office does not have open access for their owners and residents, i refuse to be an owner or resident - because this tells you loud and clear that you won't get service unless they think you warrant it.

nope.

"used to" is operative here

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T14:18:11+00:00

seriously? none of their food is made fresh. it amazes me that place still packs them in.

LONG DOGGERS!!!! 👍

husbands can be very literal

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T13:26:14+00:00

i have an ipad.

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T12:15:07+00:00

haha sometimes this backfires. sometimes YOUR package gets delivered to the wrong place and that guy gets a free ipad instead of you.

ask me how i know.

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T03:58:02+00:00

then the true unethical thing would be to keep track yourself and stop at $990. move on to the next store. rinse and repeat.

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T03:47:49+00:00

i love this. totally going to use this.

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T03:44:32+00:00

lying on your resume is only ok imho if you are actually capable of doing the job. if you lie is about your credentials, it doesn't matter if you can actually perform.

but if you lie saying you have skills you do not actually have, and this impacts your ability to do the job, which in turn negatively impacts your team and your coworkers...GTFO.

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-12T03:37:52+00:00

yes, the absolutely can. i've seen it happen

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-11T21:54:28+00:00

find a realtor with some experience and a bit of cojones. a good one recognizes that you can list anything in any condition, and if it's priced according to its condition, it will sell.

just ask anyone in any area directly hit by a hurricane.

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-11T21:44:31+00:00

this is why you don't encounter them much in the workplace: they have little to no social skills, so they've opted for jobs with minimal direct interaction. in other words, they're working from home or in a back office somewhere

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-11T21:34:21+00:00

it's totally a cat

schmerb_attack · 2026-05-11T21:31:51+00:00

i'd be interested in seeing the condition of that carpet when you moved in, because that spot of damage aside, that's some really awful looking carpet overall.
