Hey so I close tomorrow on a home I had bought, I believe it was a rental situation where the tenants smoked in the home (I mean they definitely did). They painted the walls, the kitchen looks good, all around the house is in good shape structurally and all the important components like furnace and roof are fairly new. The cigarette smell is definitely still in the carpet. I am unsure about the walls (they look clean).

 What would be your advice on methods to get rid of the smell in the carpet? I know theres a chance it won’t get rid of it totally, the plan is to eventually rip out the carpet and redo the hardwood underneath but for now, the carpet has to stay. I read up on carpet bombing, pretreatments. It seems a little overwhelming I just want to try a method that would potentially work the best on the smell.

Went to some natural water slides with a friend yesterday, I've never been on one and figured what I saw was normal for something like this, the current was very fast and there was a lot of water, most dips you're going under. Well we went down, it was insanely rough and I bruised my calcaneus and the fat pad under it (went to the ER because I could not bear weight on my heel and it felt tingly). They said at least a week in a boot and rest, if pain persists go see a podiatrist.

Today is upper body and I know they will help you with mods if you're in a boot. Would you still take a week off or go in and boot mod?

I hate that I’m even coming here to get advice on this but this particular situation has had me on edge for awhile and I’m not sure if giving him the green light on this would be a good idea or a bad one.

 My stbxh and I are coming to the tail end of our divorce. We still live together but I am currently in the process of house hunting so my plan is be moved out hopefully by August.

 Since we’ve determined to split back in February we haven’t had sex, that is one thing that he continues to bring up that bothers him. We weren’t really doing it all the time prior, probably like once every few weeks. Lately he has been just irritated, he lashed out a little at me and I called him out on his irritable mood he’s been in lately. He later apologized and said that this all has been very stressful on top of work, school and his plethora of entrepreneurial projects plus he’s just been very sexually frustrated. This is really starting to aggravate me and it puts me on edge. The thought of being intimate with him, I just can’t. I’d almost rather him start dating around at this point. Would it be a bad idea to give him the green light on this? I care about him as a person, as the father of my kids almost like a good friend but I haven’t felt anything deeper than that for him in a very long time. I would not care if he wanted to start talking to other people, as long as he does this outside of the house until I’m gone.

 As for me, dating is off the table until I am in a more stable place mentally and financially so that is not what I’m trying to get at here, I just want him to leave me alone.
