Reply to comment by slarti54 in LPT - Don't know if it's less or fewer? 'Fewer' is a more precise word than "less". Say the sentence in your head, and try "fewer" first. Generally speaking, if that word fits, it is correct. by RPoliticsModsFU
Yes and therefore the example in the OP is wrong: It should have been "less money" and "fewer dollars."

Sometimes if you can get to it fast enough applying baby powder can soak up some of the oil. Not helpful now I realize, but maybe for next time!

I dont think self esteem is the reputation you have with yourself. I think self esteem is also dependent on what you think other think of you and many more factors.

Actually, I'm going to disagree with another thing you said. My apprentices that put in the time and effort to learn and excel impress me far more than those with natural ability. Often I observe that the former, during the course of an apprenticeship, with eventually catch up and often surpass the gifted applicants. They put in effort off the clock and it pays back dividends. So, I'm not convinced that you've got this all figured out.

Agree with the Dawn suggestions. I would also add a pre-treater like Oxy Clean spray. I had a similar stain that wouldn’t come out and used the pre-treat at my parents’ place. It came out right away after that.

Reply to comment by Prudent_Exit_8346 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
Oh snap! "ROLL-OUT"

It’s funny because bad and good are opposites but they’re not the only options. Doing nothing is also an option. Doing nothing is better than doing bad things. You don’t HAVE to do good things, but don’t do bad things.

Now your first comment makes sense - you aren’t in leadership position so you’re not in the business of evaluating work habits (my perspective, 20 years in c-suite).

I suggest you delete and then resubmit this LPT using the simple, precise, and correct rule: "Fewer" is used with countable items, "less" is used with uncountable quantities.
Examples:
Less sand, but fewer grains of sand.
Less stupid, but fewer idiots.

Pine-sol can also be used in your laundry to remove stains. You can use it for spot-treatment also. But back when I worked in a kitchen, I'd do a wash load of greasy-spotted clothes once in a while. You can add 1/2 of cup of pinesol to your greasy clothes in the washing machine, along with your regular detergent. Don't do this with super delicate fabrics, but for some work clothes it should be totally fine. Maybe do a spot test on some pants in an innocuous area just to be sure.
