Reply to comment by Icy-Reflection6014 in LPT: don't listen to this advise I just read on twitter: If you’re married, there should be no such thing as “my” money or “your” money. It’s OUR money. If you are going to have a healthy and successful marriage, you have to be one in every area of your life… including your money. @DaveRamsey by Pippa_Lee
Yeah why? I’ve earned more then 10 to 20x what my partner earns per year. She also takes care of the house, does the majority of the cooking, takes care of most of the bill paying, sets up my doctors appointments. With the hours I work she is indispensable to me. Plus, she also raised the kids when I was in school and in training and never home. She has earned and still more than earns her cut. Every relationship is different, but just because you earn more means nothing.

Reply to comment by coffeeandlattee in LPT Requests: How to get over being left out? by coffeeandlattee
I'm 99% sure this was just an oversight. I've had parties where I thought I invited everyone but then, when they weren't there, I called them and said, "Hey, man, where WERE you?" only to find out they had no idea there even was party.
Guest lists are made up in our heads. You were having relationship problems and never engaged regarding the wedding. She might have thought you were hoping NOT to have to go. Therefore, when the wedding guest list was made, her head made no connection to you.
Oversight. (Or she thinks you're the on that keeps eating her lunch out of the break room refrigerator.)Buy her a wedding gift. Give it to her, congratulate her, and tell her it's ok that you didn't get invited. She will either explain or you will be the better person of the situation, either way, you get closure.

As long as you didn't dry them you can probably save them. Scrub with blue dawn dish soap, rewash and don't put them in the dryer.

Having been on the receiving side of being called out publicly, do this. Maybe do it gently and without malice, since the person may not realize that they're actually one-upping you with what they're saying. If they're anything like me they'll be a bit embarrassed, apologize, and try to correct their behavior going forward.

I use oxyclean max force foam laundry and Palmolive soap. I cover the area in the foam and add a very small amount of soap, then use a toothbrush to scrub the area aggressively. If it's a big stain or older stain, I'll repeat the process 2 or 3 times before washing it. Gets the grease stains out all the time.

I got you bro. https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/appliance-science-how-dishwasher-detergents-digest-food-stains/ If i remember correctly, Dawn is a little more expensive than others products because they use an enzyme that comes from shrimp, that "eats" lipids.

Didn't say it did. I'm saying that, when you feel that need, you're probably misinterpreting the entire interaction.

Yes. So you could sign up for websites using either iteration, you’ll receive emails all the same. But I would recommend sticking with one to sign up for websites or you’ll have to play the “which one is my sign in address” game like me.

Most supermarkets keep them for themselves. Virtually indestructible, waterproof, and occasionally come with free pet tarantula.

I worked in a furniture store and sometimes we would get oily spots on the skirt of a sofa. We used a little WD-40. It worked very well. I would test it on an un noticeable area. But that's my 2 cents.

Oh I just throw it in the laundry. It's not the chemical but the concentration so a cup of lye in like a 20 gallon washing machine is fine and the lye saponifies all the oil/grease etc literally turning it into soap

Doesn't everyone have a shitton of Amazon boxes by now? If not you can have the massive fire hazard that is my basement.
My grandmother couldn't even teach me to pronounce my last name, but she made sure I understood the importance of saving every cardboard box I ever get for, I guess the apocalypse or something.

The point is, don’t give up.

I would start by simply pointing out they’re doing it. They honestly may not realize they’re coming off douchey.
If it turns out they do know, time for them to kick rocks and for you to move on with your life without them, if possible.

Dawn dish soap is amazing. I've gotten grease stains out that have been washed and dried multiple times.

To stop overeating do a cartwheel after every bite. Thise “pro” tips are really bottom of the barrel lately.

Reply to comment by HighDynamicRanger in LPT: Lots of kids are encouraged to dream big. Don't let this become a shackle in adult life, feeling you never fulfilled your "potential." Those dreams were a way to energize you to learn, practice, and focus. They are rarely realistic and don't take into account the complexities of real life. by zazzlekdazzle
