Reply to LPT Never greet people on the street with an open hand. Scammers will use handshakes as an opportunity to place an item into your hand which will then be used against you in their scam. Always go with a closed hand fist bump instead. by [deleted]
They handed me a corn dog... and I ate it.
It was delicious.

shampoo works pretty well - just be sure to use a type that has no conditioner in it.

This tradeoff is some of the best relationship advice I've read. It's jot fair for either party to have to completely conform to the other but this is actively trying to find a happy balance here.

Liquids like sweat from sleeping on top of an electric blanket? Okay.

You have to clean everyday. It doesn’t have to be all at once.

Depending on how much your sheets cost, just buy new ones. Weigh the effort and cost of cleaning products vs replacement sheets.

You're saying don't cite a source that can easily be manipulated to show false information? Imagine that!

I really like your insight on this. My lady cooks almost all my meals, except for in seasons where we bbq. And i just try to step in and do the dishes for her while she cooks or try to do other stuff like sweep or prepare the table while shes busy at the stove. Its a good balance and it really works for us.

Reply to LPT Start the process of cancelling your tv/movie streaming services every few months, as they will give you discounted rates to stay with them! by Radiant_Philosophy_6
Do this with your internet as well. They will usually numb your speed or just flat reduce the price. Going on 2 years of never paying "full price" with spectrum

Get into coaching! Once football ended for me I dove into coaching. Started off volunteering to coach youth football, gained some experience and met some contacts that helped me move up to the high school level. I did that for a few years until work became too busy for me. I miss it all the time. Coaching is a great way to fuel the competitive drive and help give back. Everyone always remembers a great coach they had along the way. I tried to be that for my players. I learned so much and made many great relationships along the way.

Resolve carpet cleaner has saved me a couple of times. I think it actually used to be marketed as a laundry stain remover but has since retired to the carpet cleaning area of the grocery aisle.

I second this 100%. Even having a cleaning service come once a month is incredible. House cleaning has been a sore spot between my fiance and I, and this resolved the conflict entirely. It's been life-changing.
Our house is pretty small - maybe 1600sqft - and we pay $200 including a >20% tip. We live in a major city where cost of living is pretty high.
Finding a private company/small business owner is the way to go. If you contract through a large company (molly maids, etc) they're taking money off the top and less of that fee goes to the individuals actually doing the work.

They were taxing me too much in 2022 so I just got extra back when I corrected it in December last year and filed as having only one job this year. I didn't do it on purpose lol I completely forgot that I was supposed to change it.
