Reply to LPT Request: How do you negotitate on secondhand items that are close to NEW prices by skunksmasher
Something is only worth as much as someone is going to pay for it. This may or may not work in favour of the seller…. That’s their gamble.

Reply to LPT request: Moving out of the city for the first time at 18 in a rented apartment, any tips? by GauravxAg
Apply for a credit card, and put it on autopay. DO NOT spend more than you have. Use it like a debit card. A credit card is for building your credit score, so lenders will view you as trustworthy. Do NOT use a credit card for "emergency money".

Reply to comment by Beautiful_Path_3519 in LPT : When grilling marshmallows on a fire camp, NEVER ever shake your stick to extinguish a burning one. Some people have lost eyes from receiving melting hot marshmallows in the face. by noddintestudine
When my sister was in girl scouts ~ 20 years ago, they taught them how to build a fire, then lit a lamp under some kindling to show it "on fire"...... Cause a real fire was too dangerous.....
When I was in boyscouts we used to throw cans of soda on the fire and wait for them to explode.
I can't believe we never had any scalding injuries from those camping trips.

I guess I'll just stick the highways and major streets where through traffic is supposed to be, and I'll leave the poor residents of my city alone

It is still a more optimal route than you would do otherwise. There's been many times that I have questioned Waze for redirecting me through weird stuff, but every time I go against it, it's worse

15 is pretty massive. I have an 8 and a 10 and that seems good enough. No idea what I would even do with a 15" pan.

The news doesn't make me unhappy. Most of it is just mindless chatter. However, I still watch the local 6 o'clock news and the national evening news. Just so that I'm not caught by surprise by the weather (like killer snow storms) and other important information. Like road closures and government policy changes.

Can you say more about this?
I wonder because, those who take diphenhydramine probably have sleep problems. Aren't sleep problems also related to dementia?

Especially FOX and all those goofs spouting off their opinion, wich they do only for money. Very disingenuous

Reply to comment by Sugarpeas in LPT Request: How to stop losing earrings from ears by Sugarpeas
I have had some reactions, mostly in my second holes (I think they are more sensitive). I really just work off of trial and error. If my ears don’t like it I won’t buy that brand again.
I will say Clair’s jewelry seems to affect my ears the most. I haven’t worn earrings from there in years.
To be most cost effective, I’ve started buying cheaper packs of lots of little earrings (I usually use studs) that I don’t mind mixing and matching of it comes down to it.

I generally wear solid gold because of my nickel (and others?) allergy. I get used jewelry btw, it’s insanely expensive new! I can’t even wear sterling silver which has been an annoyance because you can actually get some pretty nice sterling silver stuff on sale new from some stores.
I can wear titanium, and high quality surgical steel! But fairly simple earlobe jewelry with these metals doesn’t seem to be common, lol. They tend to be more quirky things, which is fun! But not something I wear day-to-day.
But gold is easier to manipulate as it is soft. So I am going to go through my jewelry literally tonight with my husband to see if there’s a way to tighten it all up.
I also am watching some huggie earrings on eBay now, hopefully I can snag something. 😎

3rd Protip: good substitute for lemon-lime Gatorade. It has electrolytes.

I mean, it's only two pairs, right? Just bend them to make sure that it's hard to separate the two halves. I don't know if you wear silver or gold, but I'm sure there are reasonable pairs on Etay/Amazon.
