But what about the soap and water now used? Is there a cost/waste comparison for both scenarios?

Reply to comment by App1eBreeze in LPT request cleaning while my partner is home by dandelionbaaby
They definitely do their fair share of cleaning, cooking and childcare when they’re home! I’m a very messy person by nature so unless I keep up on my messes the house become a disaster, he is a very tidy person and having him cleaning up after me when he is home is okay sometimes, but is unfair to expect always

The vast majority of women want children and most will have children, it’s not weird to expect it.

Get a punching bag for at home. We got an indoor exercise bike recently…it’s a cool way to get active relieve stress. When you exercise it releases feel good chemicals in your brain.

My mom does this and it makes me lose it. She’s wasteful for everything else but is obsessed about her aesthetic looking ziplock bags so she keeps reusing them ad infinitum. I hate ittttt

Reply to LPT: A lot of people don’t know this but if you have a Costco membership, they offer car insurance that has unbeatable prices. by ninaunst
Nah not always true. Mercury beat out Costcos offerings for me. Maybe also add check for corporate discounts depending on who you work for.

>Costco gas is a solid 50 cents cheaper or more everywhere else in many of the places I have been.
Then you haven't been where I live. The nearest Costco is at $4.36. There is an Arco across the street at $4.38, a Shell 2 blocks down at $4.42 and some lesser known brands scattered nearby between $4.40 and $4.50.
I would rather spend a handful of pennies more on gas than deal with the long wait times for Costco.
If you are going to call someone deranged, maybe don't sound deranged yourself.

Starting to feel like LPT’s are mostly just people posting their pet peeves.

This isn't a protip. Friends discuss things, even intimate things.

I don't want kids. Everyone tells me I'm gonna change my mind when I'm older. I'm 36. It's hella annoying and stupid 😒

Reply to LPT Request - How can I stop my wound from merging with the fibers of a gauze or bandaid? by wt_foxtort
Soak it for a while before unwrapping it. It helped me getting it unstuck without opening my wound again.

I have an uncle & auntie, one of which never wanted to get married but wanted kids, the other wanted a marriage but never wanted to have kids. They ended up doing neither, I guess both technically "gave in" but in a different respect to what people would imagine. They seem happy enough, but I do think both would have made great parents.

Reply to comment by travelcasket in LPT Request: How do I stop my thought carousel? by travelcasket
The key is not to ignore the thoughts; acknowledge them! During the day think about what kind of thoughts they are, and why they are unhelpful. Then at night you can remind yourself; it’s this thought again; I don’t need to believe it because (insert reason you came up with in the daytime).
And then you can move on to other stories.

I know that one from when I used to have panic attacks as a teenager (not anymore). Might try it again, it was very useful back then. Thank you for reminding me!

Unfortunatly I need absolute silence to even try to fall asleep. I am very sensitive to noise. And in that silence I think the most.

Have you seen the house prices in the GTA, there are only a few towns in the UK with comparable prices.
