I’m struggling please help
I love Toontown, so much that I study it. But... It seems like part of me is making me like it less. Do you think you could tell me how to stop it? I admit this may be a thing I can't really stop. But I hope I can try.
I got these shoes brand new and the first time i wore them a waiter drooped an oily food item on them and they left a grease mark. How to clean them???
I threw up in the bath at my brother & sister in law’s house — I am trying to remove the smell of sick from the pipe when I run the water it smells bad— please help!!
This cup holder in my car has gotten sticky from leaking sugary drinks. Its is hard to open. How can I clean it out?
I'm aassembling a drawer I bought from Wayfair, and I accidentally broke one of the drawer slider parts.
It looks like parts C are adhered to part B along the sides, and then slide into part A, but I'm not entirely certain.
Fortunately, it looks like the parts that came off, were held in place by a strong adhesive, and Im hoping its possible to fix it.
I mean I'm just beside myself with this website I don't understand what the heck to do or how to do it. Every time I try to post something, make a comment on a post, or contribute in any way it is immediately removed and no reason is given. I am new to this website so I am still learning, but what the heck? Do you know how much time has been wasted trying to post here? I mean if it's going to be a situation whereby my account doesn't meet some standard like I don't have enough karma or my account isn't old enough then why was I allowed to type up the post in the 1st place. I mean it's just beyond comprehension. Lastly, if my posts are never allowed to be put up, how am I supposed to get karma in the 1st place?
I'm at the point now where I'm realizing Reddit was a horrible terrible mistake at this point. Back in the day we used to have forums that were whole websites dedicated to individual topics and they were so much easier to use. You didn't have all this information under the same umbrella (reddit) which is heavily censored, hard to use, impossible to get started as a new person around here, and so on.
And what is the deal with my posts being removed and not even given a reason for it? How does that make any sense whatsoever! I really wanna slap whoever thought that it's a good idea to waste people's time like they do trying to post here. It's just so inconsiderate and it makes no sense at all. I think I've seen some people say that it's to cut back on spam it doesn't even make sense because there are some subreddits that have zero requirements for account age and karma and I have never not once seen a post that is obviously spam. It's not an issue, so why even mention it?
Please help
My 5 year old kicked the window hard enough to crack the window pane in this door. It's double paned so the crack is focused on the inside where he kicked. Is it possible to fix or do I need to replace the entire sliding door set?
I want to edit a sound out of a song I really enjoy. There's this whistling I hear twice at 3:12 on Madds Buckley's song "Red Means I Love You" and I cant focus on anything else but that sound. It's actually starting to drive me insane a bit, so I'd like some advice on how to remove that sound or find a version without the noise (which I haven't been able to do so far).
I live in Massachusetts and my daughter works at a small coffee/ pastry shop part time. She just received an email from her employer letting her know that she was heard talking to another employee about something concerning. I am curious about voice recording. I understand video recording but recording someone’s conversation is another story! Anyone know if this is legal? Also I’m not sure where to post this question. Thank you in advance!
Where do I find the matching dome stud? What kind? Brand? Anything helps
Got three pre-hing doors for free from some family members we helped move. The height and width are perfect but the jams are much thicker than our walls. Is there an easy way to make the thicknesses line up? If there is a special tool or something that will get the job done easily, please tell me what.
I bought a shelf similar to this secondhand, and over the course of moving, I lost all four metal mounting poles that came with it :(. It's sitting under my half-loft bed, and I would like to mount just two shelves for the underside of my bed to organize stuff on! Is there a cheap alternative to the prefab poles I could use, while being reasonably safe? It's not going to be very heavy stuff, think like clothes and blankets. I can't seem to find poles cheap enough to be worth it, and almost definitely not the low height I want. Thank you so much!
We bought a 100 year old house before things got crazy expensive. Now we have upgraded the cabinets, toilets and appliances ourselves. We have a 1000 square foot attic that we want to turn into children’s bedrooms one day. It has no plumbing or electricity and very little insulation currently. Our house runs a little cold the last few winters and I am wondering what is a cheap but effective way to winter proof the attic and keep the house warmer for this upcoming winter.
Went to grab the artificial Christmas tree from its box and when I pulled it out there was poop at the bottom of the box. Is there anyway to clean this or am I SOL?
