I'm getting married this Saturday in London (UK), where temperatures are currently predicted to be between -3°C and 3°C. I'm very sensitive to the cold and, for various reasons, ended up with a dress that's strapless (i.e. my arms, upper chest and neck will be uncovered). I should be fine for the ceremony and the reception, which will both take place indoors, but there will be about 15 minutes when I'm required to be outdoors for pictures. I bought a faux-fur stole, but it arrived late and turned out to be a lot smaller than I expected (doesn't really help any). Besides layering up or being physically active, is there any effective method of lessening the cold in my circumstances?

If you have a slightly older car like I do and it has a panic button that you accidentally set off every other day try cutting down a bread clip and cover the panic button.

That piece of plastic is just firm enough to prevent accidental pushes

Lost the fob to our Hyundai. Any tricks of the trade to replace — Besides the $500 the company wants for a new one?

In my area (like most of the UK I think) we have a weekly recycling collection, and the local council provides a couple of green plastic shin-high bins to fill with separated paper and plastic that are left outside the night before. Once emptied, you are supposed to bring them back inside so they don't get blown away by the wind and annoy people driving back from work.

I get a regular Amazon groceries delivery and they come in fairly sturdy brown paper bags that are themselves recyclable.

I realised a couple of years ago that I can re-use these bags to hold the recycling (still separated) instead of the provided bins, as the recycling guys can put the paper filled one in their van's paper section and empty the plastic one into the plastic section before disposing of the bag in the paper section.

This makes slightly less work for the guys doing the collection, and means I don't have to rescue an empty bin before my neighbour drives over it!

The only problem is the bags are slightly more vulnerable to rain and strong wind, but if you don't leave them out too long it's not an issue.

Get ready for a laugh. I’m a single mom with a new partner. It’s been a WHILE since I’ve had a man in my life, other than my little 8lb terrier who thinks he’s a Rottie. Little dog dislikes men, but the two of them are learning to get along with each other. The problem arises whenever we start ‘putting our parts together’. The dog goes NUTS. I’ve tried closing the door, putting him in the basement, giving him treats that take awhile to get through (the dog, not the man). Nothing works. He barks bloody murder and it’s very hard to stay in the moment. Any tips to help this Mama get some action in peace?

Happy 2025! Mom here. If you haven’t already, I strongly recommend creating a note in your phone for all the medications, vitamins, and supplements you’re currently taking, including the amount. That way when you visit a doctor, you can bust that baby out when they ask, to ensure consideration for any potential interactions when starting a new medication or pursuing a procedure.

Recently I had a lamp break in the middle of my dorm room. I managed to get rid of the big bits of glass but failed to realise just how many bits of mini bits of glass were left. My suitcases were close, some clothes were on the floor, my bed was right next to it. Like the room isn’t that big.

I was told to shake the clothes and then wash them so that’s what I did. After shaking I threw the clothes in the basket of dirty clothes to wash later. I did put the clothing most close to the incident in a plastic bag.

I now regret believing that gets rid of if because I wake up with small scratches on my skin. I occasionally get scratches from my clothes, and I usually feel tiny stings at my fingertips no matter what.

I’ve tried cleaning my bed sheets and they still sting. You can even see the scratch marks in the closet from the mini bits of shards and because I mixed the «washed» clothes w my not affected by glass clothes now there’s glass everywhere.

I’m pretty sure at some point I must’ve gotten glass in my body but like idk. The bits are really really small so I hope there won’t be any issues.

The floor has glass, my shelves have glass, my clothes have glass, my suitcase has glass and you can’t even see it!

What on earth do I do??? How do I fix this??

Here u see the picture of two shelves. One had the bedsheets w glass and the other has had zero glass. I believe the scratch marks came from when I pulled the bedsheets out of the shelf so the glass scraped up the surface.

Is there a way to make the soles have better grip?

Fellow commuters out there! Those taking subways, trains, buses etc. What are you guys doing to pass the time?

With airport food and drink prices at just extortionary levels, use the lounge. Holly crap is it worth it. 26€ for all the food and drinks (beer and spirits) you want. It's calm, and clean, it's worth it.

Place small tension rods (the kind you’d use for curtains) inside your kitchen cupboards or pantry.

Store baking sheets, cutting boards, and trays upright by creating dividers with the rods.

You’ll want to place the tension rods vertically from the top of the cabinet to the bottom. For example, put one rod near the side wall of the cabinet, then add more every 1-2 inches depending on what you plan to store.

Slide your cutting boards, trays, or lids into these “slots” between the rods. They’ll stand upright neatly without sliding around!

It’s like giving your cupboard its very own filing system. No more clattering pans or avalanches of lids!

I have a pantry in a kitchen with 9 ft ceilings, the top shelf is at 7 ft, the door a bit shorter. This leaves the top shelf with 2 ft of vertical space, but I can’t store large items up there due to the shorter door frame. Anyone have similar spaces and figured out to utilize?

Frontier airlines has reached a new low, which I didn’t know was possible, and simply forgot to put my checked bag on the plane yesterday morning at 10am. I immediately filed a report and was told my bag was “forwarded” that afternoon. I asked for clarification for what forwarded meant: is that “I have eyes on the bag here and we’re sending it,” is that “it’s on a plane en route,” what exactly does that mean? And she replied that it was loaded on a plane and would get there last night, and that I would get an email. Fast forward to this morning, I call again and they said there’s no update, that it’s being put on the next flight out…..tonight at MIDNIGHT. Over 36 hours later after multiple flights have come and gone. I told them that was absolutely unacceptable and she fucking hung up on me.

The FAA states that for delayed baggage, the airline is responsible for reimbursing the cost of the bag as well as compensation for up to $3800 in replacement items. I want to know how to take advantage of this as much as possible and make them give me as much money as is legally enforceable. Especially in the new year with tons of sales today, I’m tempted to go shopping but want to do it in a way that they are responsible for. Give me your best hacks.

Fill it about halfway full and microwave for roughly 2 minutes. If you hear a popping noise stop right away.

Then you can tuck it in your blanket, etc.

Rice also works well.

Be aware it can burn on skin. Recommended to put a cloth such as your shirt between yourself and the heat sock.

The person who lived here before us never used the dishwasher. When I run it it stinks like garbage or rotten food. We have hard water. The dishes come out covered in spots and smelling bad. I have run an empty load with dishwasher cleaner and also a load with white vinegar. We removed the pieces from the bottom and the filter is clean and there’s no food stuck anywhere.

I work four days a week, ten hour shifts. I only really work for about two hours a day at most, and sit around on my phone/laptop the rest of the day. What could I do during this time, preferably to make money, but perhaps also build a profitable skill?

Friend put a heated pot off the stove onto table and has left this stain. Have tried magic eraser and baking soda mix + hair dryer to no avail.

This is what it looks like

Hi, I am trying to hang a lot of posters, I dint want a frame for all of them, but I live in south carolina and it's really humid here and lots of things from tape, to scotch poster hangers, and even command strips, and I tried industrial velcro too, but they keep falling off the wall. Does anyone know a better way?

I’m moving into this house soon, this is a picture of the living room. I have sectional that I am going to have to put up against that white banister. I’m trying to find some type of baby gate that can attach to that railing to make it taller so I don’t have to worry about the baby trying to climb over the sectional. Does anyone have any ideas? Please include any links if someone has an idea. Thank you!

Many American airlines offer free messaging, including WhatsApp. WhatsApp has a built in MetaAI chat which gives one kind of free internet ‘lite’ because the airlines’ free messaging lower allows responses for it.

One can… - get sports scores - research restaurants and cities - ask for the top news stores of the day - and ask follow-up questions - ask general questions - etc
