gotta be honest. sometimes when someone asks for 8 shirts with a 4 color design i just say im too busy. not because i am but because explaining the pricing takes longer than the actual job would

setup fees are just not made for this. like i get it, screens cost time and material. but for someone who wants a one off thing for their family reunion or whatever, hearing fifty bucks just to start before printing anything sounds insane

so lately ive been sending those people to dtf places instead of turning them away completely. not something i advertise but if someone seems nice i tell them look, for this quantity you are better off ordering transfers and pressing yourself or finding someone with a heat press. way less painful for everyone

still take the bigger screen jobs obviously. but for the tiny ones? yeah no thanks. let the dtf people deal with that headache

not necessarily the most famous or objectively beautiful city but the place that unexpectedly made you feel emotionally attached calm or weirdly comfortable while visiting. for example i keep seeing people talk about san sebastian like its not just visually beautiful but emotionally peaceful in a way thats hard to explain. same with places like granada or valencia where people describe the atmosphere as slower warmer and somehow comforting compared to bigger more chaotic cities.
im starting to realize those emotional feelings honestly matter to me more while traveling than just seeing famous landmarks. what city in spain gave you that kind of unexpected emotional connection and what exactly made it feel that way for you?

I know this sounds dramatic but I swear every time someone in my house takes a long shower now I mentally hear cash leaving my bank account.

Our electricity bill has gone completely unhinged the last year or two and I genuinely cannot figure out why. We haven’t added anything major, same house, same habits, same people somehow using 47 towels per week.

A friend said old electric hot water systems can quietly chew through power and now I’m spiraling because ours is definitely not young.

I started Googling at midnight (dangerous activity) and ended up reading about hot water heat pump systems because apparently people claim they’re way cheaper to run than the old electric tanks.

But is this real-life cheaper or “the brochure says savings” cheaper?

Did anyone actually notice a meaningful drop in bills after switching? Or is this one of those upgrades that takes 15 years to pay itself off?

Very tired mom question.

My kid has one of those “beige diet + random chaos” menus and getting nutrients into him feels like a full-time job. I keep getting ads for these all-in-one vitamin powders for kids(especially autism-focused ones) like those from simple spectrum that claim they help with mood, sleep, focus, etc.

Part of me is like okay maybe this helps because his diet is SO limited.

The other part of me is like… are we all just paying $50+ for expensive pee? 😭

If you’ve actually tried one, did you notice anything real? Better sleep? Less crankiness? Calmer days? Literally nothing?

Also how long did you try it before deciding it worked (or didn’t)? Because I feel like when you’re desperate for something to help, it’s easy to convince yourself you’re seeing changes.

Would genuinely love brutally honest experiences here, good or bad.

I feel like every city has those things you don’t find right away. Not the obvious recommendations, but stuff you only learn after living here a bit. Would love to hear what surprised you about Columbus.

I recently started getting really interested in Viking history after watching a few videos and reading random stuff online. What surprised me most is how different real Vikings seem compared to how movies show them.

If you could go back and spend one day in the Viking age, what would you actually want to see the most?

Ok so long story short. My aunt passed away last year and left me her house in Springfield. At first I was like sweet free money right? LOL no. This thing has been a nightmare.

The house is old. Like 1920s old. Needs a new roof, needs plumbing work, basement floods when it rains. Im in New York now so I cant even check on it. Been paying one thousand four hundred dollars a month for a house I dont live in and my savings are crying.

I talked to a realtor. She said if I put twenty five thousand into repairs and wait maybe three to six months I could list at two hundred ninety thousand. Then pay her six percent and closing costs and walk away with maybe two hundred sixty thousand. But I dont have twenty five thousand. And I cant wait six months. Ill be broke by then.

The secret is I just want out. I dont care about top dollar anymore. I care about not losing more money every month.

Anyone sold an old house in Mass to a cash buyer? How low was the offer? Did they actually close fast or was it a mess? Any advice before I lose my mind? Thanks lol.

Planning an Australia trip early next year, and I’ve been thinking about trying an EV for the first time instead of a normal rental car. probably doing a coastal drive around Sydney → Canberra → Melbourne over about a week, and I honestly can’t tell if renting an electric is smart or if charging becomes a pain once you leave bigger cities. Online opinions are all over the place.

I was browsing Turo and saw Tesla Model 3s and Hyundai Ioniq 5s around AUD $90–160/day depending on location and dates, which honestly didn’t seem too bad compared to regular rentals.

For people who’ve road tripped EVs in Australia or other countries, which places were easiest for charging, and which ones ended up being the biggest headache?

I’m planning a UK road trip this September, probably London → Bath → Cotswolds → Manchester → Edinburgh over about 8 days, and I’m debating if renting an EV is actually a good idea or just extra stress. I’ve never driven electric before, so I’m trying to figure out how annoying charging really is once you leave bigger cities. I keep seeing mixed opinions, especially about motorway charging prices and range dropping fast.

I was checking rental options and noticed some Tesla Model 3s and Hyundai Ioniq 5s on Turo around £45–70/day, which honestly seems reasonable compared to regular rental counters.

For people who actually road tripped the UK in an EV, was charging easy enough, or did you wish you had just rented a gas car instead?

My sister is turning 11 soon and she really wants a "park day" for her birthday. I’m looking for a playground in LA that isn't just for toddlers, ideally somewhere with cool climbing structures, zip lines, or just a vibe that older kids won't find boring.

We’re planning to bring some food and hang out for a few hours, so a spot with decent picnic tables or a nice grassy area nearby would be huge. Does anyone have favorites that hit that sweet spot for pre-teens? Open to any neighborhood!

ive dealt with stubborn adult acne on my jaw and cheeks for years that always got worse with harsh treatments. a friend suggested i try Pelactiv Skincare and after a month of using their glycolic cleanser and clearing toner my skin is noticeably calmer with fewer breakouts and much better hydration. it feels like it actually supports the skin barrier instead of just stripping it.

has anyone else had good results with pelactiv or other professional australian lines for acne prone skin? what products made the biggest difference for you?

thanks guys i appreciate the help.

I’ve been dealing with some serious dental anxiety after a really bad experience last year. I went to a random clinic for a routine cleaning and a filling, the hygienist was super aggressive, my gums were bleeding and throbbing for days, and the filling they put in felt high and uncomfortable, every bite hurt. When I went back to complain they basically brushed me off and said it was normal. I ended up avoiding dentists completely for months because of it. A friend suggested to try UrbnDental and I finally went a couple weeks ago. The difference was huge, the team was patient and caring and the dentist actually took time to listen and explain what was going on. They fixed the bad filling properly with zero pain, and for the first time in a long time my teeth feel right again.

Has anyone else had a nightmare experience at a dental office and then found a place that actually made you feel comfortable and taken care of? Especially looking for recommendations or stories from people in Houston.

I’m looking for some book suggestions for a 10 year old and would love to hear what actually worked for your kids (or what you loved at that age). They’re at that stage where they’re moving away from shorter chapter books but aren't quite ready for the heavy "young adult" themes yet. We are looking for something that is a real page-turner, maybe a great fantasy series, a funny contemporary story, or even a graphic novel that's hard to put down.

What are the "can't-miss" books for this age group? I’d prefer things that aren't necessarily the super obvious ones like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, since we’ve already checked those out. I’d love to find some hidden gems or newer releases that really captured a kid's imagination and kept them reading past their bedtime. Thanks in advance!

Our 15,000 sq ft retail/warehouse building has a bad roof leak going on right now. Water is coming in from multiple spots, we’ve got tarps and buckets out, but it’s still making a mess. About $35k worth of inventory is at risk and we’re worried about mold starting in the next few days.

Anyone here dealt with major water damage in a commercial building? What’s the proper emergency sequence, temporary fixes, drying, etc.?

Would really appreciate recommendations for a good commercial restoration company in Richmond Hill that handles water damage, temporary roof protection, and full restoration while working smoothly with insurance. Thanks!
