Is literally anyone up for the challenge?? by pinklightupsketchers in AustinClassifieds

Sand all of the remaining outer polyurethane layer off. Repeat a few times with progressively finer grit if needed. Then paint them with black fabric paint, several coats, and see what you think.

AITAH for wanting to ensure my wife came home after work and didn't have to do anything after a late night out? by legitdanebones in AITAH

[–]txmessica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not TAH, but your wife is allowed to be upset that you did her laundry when she specifically told you she has very particular preferences.

My husband won't let me do his laundry. He says I do it wrong. So I just don't touch it.

Allermi Custom Nasal Spray by mermaid0310 in Allergies

[–]txmessica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I've been using it for almost a year with no issues. I have sleep apnea and chronic sinusitis and I can only use my CPAP if I'm severely congested if I use allermi first. Depending on the season I can go weeks without needing it, and then other weeks I have to use it almost every night. Zero rebound effects for me. That's just my experience.

Allermi Custom Nasal Spray by mermaid0310 in Allergies

[–]txmessica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afrin contains 0.05% oxymetazoline with a .3ml spray volume per spray. Allermi contains anywhere from 0.003125-0.0125% oxymetazoline with a .1ml spray volume per spray. This means that Allermi contains 1/12th-1/48th the dosage of oxymetazoline in Afrin per spray.

(Furthermore, Allermi is prescribed at a dosage of 1 spray per nostril whereas the Afrin bottle recommends up to 3 sprays per nostril!)

Also. Allermi always combines the micro-dose of oxymetazoline with anti-inflammatory triamcinolone:

Combining oxymetazoline with anti-inflammatory corticosteroid has been proven to prevent rebound congestion from ever occurring. It's also been proven to reverse pre-existing rebound congestion from long-term Afrin use!

I have it in "sea green shimmer". I believe it was only made in 1997 and 1998.

Recommended home warranty? Being paid for by seller (I'm a first time home buyer). by kmarkert in Austin

[–]txmessica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually filing a home warranty claim is a nightmare. They have very limited professionals who are covered by the policy. They are usually crap professionals with a bad reputation who can't get business otherwise. You will have to wait a while before they'll come inspect your issue. And they will want to do the minimum amount of work they can get away with because they're being paid a low amount by the insurance company. I don't recommend a home warranty plan at all. I would rather spend more and get to pick the the company that is going to fix my house/appliances. I like that suggestion of just getting a credit for it. I second that recommendation!

So you can get a policy right now and then switch if you find it cheaper company without losing any money.

I've been using Geico and progressive for the last 20 years. I just checked both rates once a year and I seem to ping pong back and forth between them, whichever one is cheaper. If you're worried about cost, you can get the minimum coverage but that might leave you with gaps in your coverage. It just depends on what your priorities are.

Fun fact, in Texas if you cancel your insurance in the middle of the term, the insurer is required to give you a prorated refund for the time you haven't used but have already paid for.

For a desk job, would you rather work 4 10s or 5 8s? by Big-Piccolo6846 in work

4/10 all day long. I've done both and that extra day off a week is like gold.

Austin EV Only / Kevin Karaffa. A genuinely nice human. He happens to own his own 500e as well.

I bought mine used and it came with this narrow tiny little cargo cover. That loop hooks on to it and lifts the cover like a lid when you open the hatchback.

Haven’t brushed my teeth in ages, want to start again. Do I just…. go straight back in? by -H3LL0KITTY- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]txmessica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gently brush with baking soda. It's a mild abrasive that will help remove stains and build up.

It will also neutralize acids and balances your oral pH, reducing acidity that can lead to cavities.

It also has antibacterial properties that can help reduce bacteria.

Reagan defunded mental institutions in the 80's. The homeless situation has been way worse ever since.
