If there is any smell left you're using it incorrectly or too much. Washed clothes smell fresh from the laundry detergent.

Reply to LPT: We are heading into “Moving Season”, liquor and wine stores have a TON of boxes. by HeRoSanS
If you're making a short move (like from one apartment to another in the same city), you can also look into reusable moving supplies. We did this for a move and it was 1) incredibly convenient 2) didn't require taping up and breaking down 1 million fucking boxes 3) stacked BEAUTIFULLY in the moving van 4) were CLEAN and I wasn't paranoid we were bringing home bugs or mold.

I’ll add that q-tips with rubbing alcohol are good for nooks and crannies on ear buds.

Stop talking about yourself. Add nothing to respond to in that way. You do not need validation for what you do, just get it done and be at liberty with your achieved goals. Personal satisfaction doesn't come from climbing over the faces of our peers, like that guy. Nobody likes that guy.

Dawn Platinum has alcohol in it, works very well, also. I’ve added OxyClean powder and worked it in to a stubborn stain or two. Works even on old, washed in spots.

We don't use it because we don't want to walk around smelling like the worst part of a salad dressing.

Do you equate spirituality to sky fairies? I don't.

Reply to comment by Fearless-Golf-8496 in LPT: I Wish They Taught This in School by ManWee14
I’m admiring your grounded questions, they are very help for me so thank you. Hopefully these answers help to clarify:
-
The webinars I have attended are: 3 Mental Fitness; 2 Empower Your Organisation; 2 Enhancing inclusion and diversity; 1 Turning the New Normal into a more Exceptional Future. At the moment it’s mainly the Mental Fitness Sessions that are running because Ashley has made a decision to do whatever he can to improve peoples mental health.
-
The above webinars didn’t cost anything to attend.
-
I wasn't encouraged to sign-up for any paid webinars. You can join the free webinars as many times are you want and if you want the help you get it. The purpose of the webinars is to provide people will skills that they can apply to improve their mental fitness, build their capability and have a more solid foundation with themselves.
-
Mostly the webinars are hosted by Ashley and some by Tom who is a member of the Momentum team.
-
A few of the things I learned are that:
Everyone has a paradigm which is the beliefs you hold without question and is created from your life experiences. I learned that it is possible to change your paradigm to one which serves you better.
I learn how to become more aware of thinking habits that can be psychologically harmful. For example seeing situations with either right and wrong outcomes shuts down thinking, lowers self-esteem and leads to high levels of judgments to myself and other people. The webinar shows you alternative thinking habits that you can use instead.
I was stabilising my self-esteem in an unhelpful way, this looked like me believing other people were more okay than I am. During the webinar you are shown different and more helpful perspectives that you can have.
-
The webinars were helpful because they taught me to think in a more grounded way and how to see that here are many options to choose from, instead of just 1 or 2 undesirable options I believed I had. This has taken the pressure out of my mind and it now feels like I have much more space in my mind to think. The webinars also helped me to realise just how unnecessary the relentless self-criticism I was giving myself was. This has been replaced with appreciation and kindness.
-
For many years before attending the webinars I would wake up every morning and internally scream. I didn’t want to exist so I got high every day and if my day consisted of anything other than playing video games the internal screaming would happen many times. From attending the webinars and applying the skills I learned I’ve stopped getting high, I’ve not touched the Xbox and I am now more engage and interested in life. Instead of trying to hide from existing I am more present and less socially anxious so feel more motivated to do things. I have more people I like to spend time with and I’ve started hobbies like cycling and tennis.
Points 5, 6, and 7 are brief in comparison to what I could say so if you, or anyone who is reading this, is interested to hear more about my experience just DM me and we can have a chat.

Me too, and I would recommend the clear one although I don’t think the blue one would be a problem.

There really are some mixed responses on this post. I think I will just bring it up to let them know I noticed and give them a chance to explain. Then be cautious of this coworker in the future.

Interestingly enough, the first coffee actually does not have that big of an impact based on what I read/heard. Here is an interesting podcast on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR_f-iwUGY4&t=545s

Goddamit. Read the first part about your experience and qualifications and thought “Oh fuck. I’m gonna learn something new today”. Nope. Just Dawn dish soap.
