Wikipedia is great but controlled by the government.

And when the supermarket or produce section says they don't have any go see the bakery (at wallmart anyway)

Huge tip. Great for books too as those boxes can get heavy. Good for everything really.

This is the best advice, and it stretches beyond cleaning.

My wife and I have been together for 8 years, we’ve really never so much as had a disagreement on almost anything. And that’s simply because we just talk things out when they come up. Just have to be open minded and willing to see and understand your partner’s viewpoint (which it sounds like OP already has a good grasp on).

Buy kinky laces that are made to stay tied

[removed]

I taught middle school research and taught the kids to NEVER cite Wikipedia, but go down to the bottom to look for articles to read and use.

One option you could try is to use a pair of locking laces. These laces are designed to keep your shoes securely tied, and they come in a variety of colors and styles to match any outfit. You can also purchase elastic laces, which are designed to stretch and move with your feet while still staying securely tied.

Spray them with hair spray before you tie them.

I think her demands are a bit unreasonable. i recommend the book How to Keep House While Drowning by LC Davis and look at what is functional for cleaning versus internalized ideals of what “clean” means.

I would feel bad doing that, for the developers. Want no ads? Pay for full version.

When I worked in film we used a concoction called "the russian bath". It's a spray bottle of one to two vodka and water. We'd use it to freshen up the casts wardrobe between scenes, and was great at getting out BO.

But also, to reiterate what others have suggested, check the care label. It maybe time to run it over to the drycleaners for an annual wash.

Google an Ian knot, and a granny knot. Ian is what you want, granny is not.

This is the answer. I use these on most of my shoes and boots and the combination of the elastic and the spring-loaded slide make them easy to put on, easy to tighten (at any point), and easy to take off plus you never have to worry that your shoe will become untied.

Definitely a must for anyone. You'll never want to have shoes without them again.

You can also use AdGuard DNS to block ads at a DNS level

I basically never see mobile app ads

There is some give and take here for both sides. I saw another comment that recommended finding some tasks she doesn't like or that your are good at and make sure you're on top of them like it's your job. I am the dishes and vacuuming guy at my house for various reasons. Laundry is her domain (because I'm incapable of remember to change the load and garbage at folding...). The rest we split up and tackle together. We both have to accept that we don't like living in other people's mess, even messes of ones we love. Sometimes that means you might have to clean a little more frequently than you like. Likewise, she may need to let a mess sit for a short while for you to take care of it.

I have a old car and I bought a small portable speaker years ago. I have it in my cupholder and connect it by Blu tooth to my phone. It works perfectly and is always loud enough.

"nosebleed"...uh huh. /r/howtocoverupamurder more likely :) (joking, completely joking)

Easiest thing is to help her when you see her cleaning up. She’s doing dishes? Help her rinse or put them away. She’s vacuuming? Get out a rag and start dusting. Make it a group activity and it’ll go a long way. Do that for a few weeks and it’ll quickly become habit. Good on you to recognize that you’re the problem and make an effort to help keep a tidier house.

>they teach this in like 9th grade

Correction, they're SUPPOSED to teach this in 9th grade. However, I found out the hard way when I cited Wikipedia in my first college-level essay and my professor failed that entire paper because of it.

I took honors and AP-level English in high school, not once did they ever dock points or correct us for citing Wikipedia. Some schools just suck.
