Short term rental problems - please advise

2024.05.19 22:57 sobresal Short term rental problems - please advise

I need some feedback about how to handle a problematic short term rental situation here in kl.
I negotiated directly with an agency for a monthly rental. I came to see this place before moving in and it looked fine, much better than my previous stay. The problems did not become apparent until I moved in.
After a few hours here I realized there was a very strange smell in the studio . It reminded me of mothballs. I assumed this must be a coincidence as I could not see any mothballs in the closet. I thought it might be the dirty air conditioner filters so I cleaned them - made no difference. So I tried to ventilate the room by keeping the balcony door open - this helped a bit but the smell returned as soon as I closed the door.
By the second day I was coughing on and off, feeling nauseous, and feeling generally unwell. After searching a bit I discovered a couple of mothballs in wrappers under the sink and threw them out.
then later I discovered more of them. They were in hard to find places like corners of higher less accessible cabinets in the kitchen area. They had been removed from their wrappers and broken into fragments and scattered inside the cabinets. I cleaned the cabinets and got rid of all of them.
At this point I reached out to my contact at the rental agency to describe what was happening. I asked her if they could bring me a fan to help ventilate the room and if they had another room similar to this one that I could view, so I could switch rooms if necessary.
She did not directly answer my questions about the fan or seeing another room but apologized and told me to let her know if I was still having trouble breathing.
I knew that mothballs smelt bad but didn't actually realize how dangerous they are. They are actually pesticides in solid form that become gaseous at room temperature - so if you smell them, it means you are breathing poisonous fumes. They are only supposed to be kept with clothes in tightly sealed containers.
But I thought I had found all the mothballs, so I opened the balcony doors, and hoped the smell would go away.
The smell was still strong around the bed area so the next day I decided to move the bed. Underneath the bed was filthy and had obviously never been cleaned and guess what I discovered there? Two more mothballs!
My guess is if the owner or cleaning staff did not intententionally put these in the room for some reason, some previous guest who did not understand the dangers of mothballs scattered them around the room, thinking it was a good way to repel insects.
I'm hoping at this point I've found all of them. the smell in the room has improved but it is not completely gone. It seems to have been absorbed by some of the furniture.
Meanwhile I've discovered other less serious issues with the apartment, which I've told the agency about but which still haven't been resolved : the dryer of the washedryer doesn't seem to work and I can't get the TV to work either. The unit also isn't a quiet as they told me it was . it's located in the block of the building furthest from the freeway but I guess there are vehicles that are modified in some way, because the noise they make is insanely loud and has been worse on the weekend, and they race down the freeway all night long. It's also located right across from the elevator which makes a frequent dinging sound.
My main concern though is the smell in the apartment and the possibility there are more mothballs I haven't found. If I were renting through Airbnb I know they offer certain protections and at this point I would be able to get a refund and get help finding another place but I have no experience working directly with Malaysian agencies and have already paid the full amount plus deposit for one month here. I don't know if they would return my money for unspent nights if I said I wanted to leave, offer a discount, or what (if anything) to expect.
It took me two weeks to find this place and I was not able to find another studio to rent that met my needs so I don't have a good alternative right now if I leave. I'm also hesitant to move if I don't have to because my first rental experience here (through Airbnb) was also bad, and I don't want to start over again in a new place only to find myself in an even worse situation.
I'm just too worn out and overwhelmed by all this to think clearly right now so I'd appreciate any advice on what to do and the best way to deal with the agency.

FAQ

I live in Cuba/Canada/Haiti/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!
Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.
Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?
Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.
Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?
Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).
Can I donate all my money to you?
No
Can you help me promote my game?
Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.
Your list is full of errors and now the great old ones have awaken!
Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on faith, trust and pixie dust, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

2024.05.19 19:22 tearsonmytitties Finding out we are not lower classnhas shattered me.

I was born in a first world country but moved to a 3rd world one when i was little.
My upbringing was very simple and sweet, I was in a shitty school that did not give me or mandate homework since 6th grade, they kept somehow passing me although i couldn't read or write much in the main language of the country which was half of my subjects language too, I had undiagnosed adhd which also meant i couldn't even start to study the normal english subjects.
All of my friends were in broken homes, the dad was always gone in some way where they were either divorced, shphysically abusive, verbally abusive, lives abroad, or dead. Their apartments was last renovated in the 90s, and i never realized that the paychecks their parents make was the exact amount of the national poverty line. They were simply surviving, but somehow we never really noticed because we all were almost in the same financial situation it seemed. Saving all of our money until the last day of school so we can have the BIG hang out at mcdonalds once a year because it was so expensive and that's where the cool people went, not being able to hang out outside of school more than twice every summer because of our strict parents even if we had money saved, we couldnt buy more than 2-5 new pieces of clothes every year.
we always looked at our "rich" classmates who had old iphones, apartments with white walls and new furniture, netflix, got to hang out with friends on school weekends and most weeks every summer, wore clothes from h&m, played a sport.
Me and my friends all didnt have much freedom or money so we all felt even. "You have no opportunities in this country." I felt lied to, I had a mental breakdown for days thinking about my friends (tearing up while writing this even). I've never deserved to leave the country because i never studied or worked hard while they did their best in everything.
I never realized how privilaged i actually was until i moved back "home" for college. So many fancy cars in the streets (sport cars, teslas ect), my cousins all live in big houses and their parents are paying their universitiy tuitions (all of them in medical school), they live in big houses, they own cars, i havent get sexually harrastted in the streets not once, it felt so safe and quite, i never heard traffic and every building is painted and new. We moved to an apartment with a fancy clean new enterance, fancy elevators, amazon packages are left infront of our door?????? No one steals them???? People are casually wear all these brand names like lululemon and nike and adidas and micheal kors.
So I thought maybe this was just america but when i googled where i live it turnt out to be one of the most best neighborhoods in america, rent for an apartment is almost 4k a month which is 4x what my friends parents make in 1 year. Then i realized my dad and mom never worked a job for 14 years straight living in the 3rd world country, tried opening buisnesses that always failed, that my dad worked for a very good company that all my uncles and other people here do that are almost millionaires. I look at old photographs and see a big big house with fancy furniture and 2 cars.
It's been almost two years but I mentally can not comprehend this, why was all my teenage years wasted in my room rotting away when they could of afford me private lessons and a psychiatrist. They could of afford me hanging out with friends more than 5 times a year. I didn't need to suffer with oversized underwears and small training bras until 18. I didn't need to embarass myself everytime i left the house because my clothes were mostly poleyester which made me smell bad alot. Why did it seem like a big deal when we wanted to eat out as a family and i would only eat fries (half a dollar) because a bag of frozen fries was also half a dollar when anyways he used to earn money in dollars..
Although I live in a nice area now it feels all wrong. I still look at the people around me and think of how rich and privilaged they are although i am literally the same. My parents now work minimum wage jobs and I have to help financially and buy my own mattress and bedframe ect. I still view myself below all these people, i think act and think like i am poor like my friends. At work i used to enter episodes where i was seeing my surrounding through a "camera" that wasnt my body and i couldnt stay grounded, as if i was not really here and it is all a dream and there was a vignette ring around everything i was seeing. Scratching myself trying to remind myself i am here but i was always on the verge of a mental breakdown and couldnt handle interacting with anyone. It felt like both imposter syndrome and depersonilazation. I physcially and mentally felt unpresent and i would become normal when i would leave work.
When i travelled back "home" it still continued, less badly but it happened twice and i still couldnt speak or complete a sentance or comprehend what the person infront of me was saying and i had to scratch myself and try to forget what i was feeling and get distracted so i can snap out of it. I didn't feel real again.
I try to send back home to my friends lots of clothes and things they want and i still feel unable to start "living" here. It all feels fake and that i shouldnt be here. I've failed 3 quarters back to back and im failing again. I just wanna go back home but im not even from their and neither are my parents, i would have to go on a work visa so i have to graduate first and then get experience so a job could want to sponser me to come back. My friends will graduate in 2026 while i graduate in 2029. I feel mentally behind everything and everyone. I only am able to rot in bed.

I still remember the first time I ever saw a computer. I was invited to a friends house. I had never seen an elevator that automatically opened. I walked into the apartment, mesmerized by the marble flooring, the pearl white paint, and the pristine furniture that seemed untouched by time. We went to his room, where I saw a device that looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. It was a computer. He started to play a game on it, and it blew me away. Growing up in the slums of Beirut, I had never seen such technology. I never knew the world beyond a few blocks. But something about that day made me realize there was so much more to discover. My thirst for knowledge and exploration has never stopped since.
When I remember that day and think about how yesterday I witnessed history in the making—an AI that can see us, hear us, and interact with us—I am struck by the incredible journey we've been on. In just 2 years, we've come so far, and the possibilities ahead are even more thrilling. We are witnessing only the tip of the iceberg, and I am both excited and eager to see what comes next.
Sam, you are in a position that few can truly comprehend. We can all speculate about how challenging it must be to manage one of the world's most powerful technologies, but no one really understands what you're going through. Know that we sympathize with you.
Throughout history, humans have been divided by many things, religion, race, ideologies, but one desire unites us all: the desire to find our peace in this life. The technology in your hands has the potential to take humans to new heights. As I sit here , writing this letter, I plead with you to ensure that this technology never falls into the wrong hands. Those who seek only money, power, and control. It should only be used to further humanity, enhance quality of life, advance healthcare, protect the environment, and discover the wonders this world has to offer.
I know how easy it is to get lost, but I believe you will always make the right decisions. With great powers come great responsibilities. Sam, I leave you with these final words: “We will die, and work will never finish.” As much as we yearn to see the future, your mental health must always come first. Don’t push yourself too hard. Thank you for everything you have done and will continue to do for us.
Sincerely, A.H.

Short story - Science fiction: Synthetic Memories

Synthetic Memories Story and image by Hotpot AI
The sun was setting over the city skyline, casting a golden glow over the bustling streets below. As the city lights flickered on, the world seemed to come alive with a sense of excitement and possibility. But for one man, the setting sun only brought a sense of unease and confusion.
His name was Daryn, and he had just discovered that his entire life was a fabrication. Memories that he thought were his own were actually implanted, and those that he cherished were nothing but a product of someone else's imagination. He was a pawn in a game he didn't even know was being played.
It all started when Daryn stumbled upon a small, nondescript office building on the outskirts of the city. The sign read "Memgen: Your Memories Are Our Business." Curiosity got the best of him, and he decided to step inside. Little did he know, this decision would change his life forever.
The receptionist greeted him with a smile and asked if he had an appointment. Daryn shook his head, but the receptionist insisted that he speak with the CEO, Mr. Greyson. Daryn was hesitant, but something about the receptionist's demeanor made him feel at ease. He followed her to the elevator and was whisked up to the top floor.
As he stepped out of the elevator, Daryn was greeted by a sleek and modern office. Mr. Greyson sat behind a large desk, his piercing blue eyes locking onto hims. He offered him a seat and began to explain the services that Memgen offered. They were the leading corporation in the memory industry, able to implant and erase memories at will. It was a booming business, with people willing to pay top dollar to relive their happiest moments or forget their darkest secrets.
But as Mr. Greyson spoke, Daryn couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he felt like he was being watched. He quickly brushed it off as paranoia and continued to listen to Mr. Greyson's sales pitch.
After a few more minutes of discussion, Daryn was about to leave when Mr. Greyson stopped him. He handed him a small device and told him it was a complimentary memory implant. He was hesitant at first, but Mr. Greyson assured him that it was completely safe and would enhance him life in ways he couldn't even imagine.
Daryn left the office feeling both excited and apprehensive. He couldn't wait to experience his new memory, but a small voice in the back of him mind warned him that something wasn't right. As he walked home, again he couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. He quickened his pace, eager to get home and try out his new memory.
But as soon as he entered his apartment, he knew something was wrong. The walls were a different color, the furniture was rearranged, and there were pictures of people he didn't recognize. He frantically searched through his belongings, trying to find something familiar, but everything seemed foreign to him.
Panic set in as he realized that his entire life was a lie. Memories flooded his mind, but he couldn't tell which ones were real and which ones were implanted. He remembered a childhood that had never happened, a family that didn't exist, and a job he never held. He was a stranger in his own life.
Determined to uncover the truth, Daryn returned to Memgen. He barged in and demanded to see Mr. Greyson. He wanted to confront him about the memories that had been implanted in his mind. But as he entered his office, he was met with resistance. Men in suits surrounded him, blocking his path and demanding that he leave the premises.
Daryn refused to back down. He knew that Memgen was hiding something, and he was determined to find out what it was. He investigated the company's operations, digging through files and hacking into their system. What he discovered was beyond his wildest imagination.
Memgen was not just a memory corporation, it was a powerful organization that controlled the memories of the entire world. They had the ability to manipulate people's thoughts and actions, erasing and implanting memories to suit their own agenda. And Daryn was just one of their many victims.
As he continued his investigation, Daryn realized that he was not alone. There were others like him, people who had their memories stolen and replaced with false ones. They were all pawns in Memgen's game, and it was up to Daryn to put an end to it.
With the help of his newfound allies, Daryn launched a full-scale attack on Memgen. They exposed the corporation's secrets to the world, causing a global uproar. The victims filed a massive class-action lawsuit against them as well. Memgen's stock plummeted, and their operations were shut down. Daryn finally had the answers he was looking for, but at what cost?
As he sat in his now-empty apartment, Daryn couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness. The memories he thought were his were gone, and he was left with a void that could never be filled. But he also felt a sense of freedom, knowing that he was no longer under Memgen's control.

2024.05.19 12:20 AfternoonOne13 My boyfriend (26M) discussed our fight with his parents, now they think I (28F) am not good for him.

This is my first post here. My partner and I have been together a little over a year. We’re both in the military, but he has been deployed since January and will come back in July. A week ago he was allowed to come back for a week as a holiday leave.
We were planning on moving in together after he got back from his deployment, but due to my roommate moving out and me not being able to afford the rent on my own we agreed that I should look for an apartment for the both of us and he would move in with me after his deployment. In February I found an apartment to which he also agreed after seeing it on video, and I moved in by myself in April. I was able to take some furniture from the old apartment, but we still needed some essentials like a couch, chairs and dining table. We agreed on these items online and through video call and already ordered them since I would already be living at the apartment.
Our big fight happened two weeks before his return over the dining table. For context, we live on the second floor and there is no elevator in the building. When the table arrived the delivery company refused to carry it upstairs (for insurance reasons apparently) and it was too heavy to carry it by myself. Luckily I got help from my neighbors, but it was still a hard task as the table is made out of massive wood. I then set up the table by myself and immediately video called my partner to show him the table. After I showed him the table from all angles he declared he didn’t like it and I should pack it back up and send it back. Barely recovered from all the heavy lifting we just did I told him I wasn’t keen on going through that again, and suggested we wait until he got back for his holiday so that he could see the table for himself and then send it back together if he still wanted to do so. The return policy was 30 working days and he would be back way before that. He said he didn’t want to wait so he could immediately order a new table so that it would arrive in time before he got back for his holiday, that way the apartment would be completely “ready” for his arrival. The discussion got out of hand after that, I reminded him that I had taken care of everything in the apartment so far and told him I didn’t appreciate his attitude, that I felt like he was taking the easy way out being away and coming back to an apartment that was completely ready without having to lift the finger. He said I was being difficult and didn’t think that he was asking a lot, he said if the roles were reversed, he would take care of everything because that’s what partners are supposed to do. We discussed some more back-and-forth, but the main points were that I didn’t feel appreciated for all the work I had done for the apartment so far and he didn’t feel the need to be appreciative as he saw this as normal within a relationship.
The next day, he talked to his parents and reported back to me what they said, I never asked for this information. His mom apparently completely agrees with him, she thinks I’m being unreasonable and is of the opinion that if you’re in a relationship, you do everything for each other without questioning it. His dad said that he didn’t want to see him make the same mistake that he made with his ex by staying in a relationship that’s not good for him. They also said some things about me personally, like how it’s noticeable that I grew up an only child and feel like I need to have everything my way. This hurt me a lot as I thought I had a good relationship with his parents. I went on holiday with them multiple times and never noticed any tensions. The remark about me being an only child is especially painful as they know my brother passed away when I was a child. He said he thinks his parents are wrong about the part of me being not good for him, but agrees with everything else they said. Honestly, at that point I wondered whether I was making a mistake with moving in together, but I decided it would be best to wait until he got back for his holiday and discuss everything face-to-face.
His mom came over a week later to bring all his clothes and stuff that he still had at their place, his aunt was there as well. I could feel a cold vibe from his mom, but his aunt was being very friendly and she even brought me a small housewarming gift. When they were getting ready to leave, his aunt already went to sit in the car while his mom hovered by the doorway. She then said that she still likes me and feels bad about the whole situation, she said it was all a big misunderstanding and said she wanted to talk it out soon.
Last week, I picked up my partner from the base for his leave. When we arrived at the apartment he was in awe of it. We talked it out and he told me that he regrets discussing our fight with his parents, he said he wanted to make a point and he admitted exaggerating the story to make me look bad. He said that he will do everything in his power to restore my relationship with his parents, as their approval of me is extremely important to him. On Monday we said our goodbyes again for the last phase of his deployment, but I can’t help lying awake at night ruminating over everything that happened the last few weeks. I’m scared this ordeal has completely spoiled the relationship with my inlaws, but I also feel like my trust has been broken. I’ve had multiple relationships, but I’ve never seen myself grow old with someone before I met him. I’ve never had a child wish or wanted to marry, until I met him. I sincerely love him and want to build a future with him, I do believe he feels the same as he has always said he dates to marry and we even already discussed a timeline of getting married and starting a family.
I’m scared that my partner will one day feel like he has to choose between me and his family, and that’s a choice I will not put him through. Am I being unreasonable? Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? I just need some perspective. His mom also still hasn’t reached out to talk about what happened, even though she said she wanted to. Should I be the one reaching out to her? I feel like an apology is due from her side, therefore I don’t think I should be the one to reach out.
TL;DR! - He discussed our fight with his parents, they said some not so nice things about me. I’m having mixed feelings about my relationship now.

2024.05.18 18:41 strichunter Called an ambulance for a guest who had 3 glasses of red wine

This is a short story from my time as a MOD for a large hotel in the Netherlands.
It was a usual Friday evening and our hotel bar was decently busy with guests enjoying the evening. My colleagues at the bar noticed a man who who was a guest of the hotel getting increasingly drunk even though only having two glasses of wine. Important for the story: he was there with a woman who was not a guest of the hotel. After drinking the third glass my colleague decided to stop serving him since he looked quite drunk. The weird part about this was that he entered the bar looking and acting completely sober. Fast forward, after we refused service to him he walked to the elevator with the woman by bumping into all kinds of furniture (The elevator was 10m away from the bar). This was the moment I decided to accompany him to his room since the woman was not able to. In the elevator I realized that he was absolutely fuc***. I walked with him out of the elevator and he fully slapped face down on the carpet floor. He immediately started bleeding on his head which later turned out to be because of his eye brown being half ripped out. I did not see this so I decided to call an ambulance since this is what I learned to do and it’s always safer to call them once too many. The women being so annoying at this point by telling me to leave him alone and that I was not allowed to call an ambulance. Here I had to call another colleague to take care of the men and I had to remove the women from the hotel by threatening that police will be involved. The medics came after a short time and immediately drove him to the hospital because he was not responsive and did not even remember his name. We later got told that all of this was caused by him not taking his diabetes medicine which caused this situation. The guest came back from the hospital early in the morning and I checked the next afternoon on him and he did not even dare to apologize.
How would you have reacted in such a situation like this?

2024.05.18 17:22 DirkMoneyrich85 Cat with fever spiking over 106 for 6 days, antibiotics/fluids/steroids not helping

Newly adopted 2 year old female cat (adopted this month from a rescue). Spayed, up to date on all vaccines, indoor only, snap test done while in rescue and repeated at my vet the day I adopted her and got booster vaccines.
10 days into adoption she became suddenly lethargic and off food (wet purina pro plan). Had previously been eating robustly and playing and seemed very happy to be in my home. Called vet last Saturday and was advised to wait over weekend in case GI upset. By Monday not improvement so took her in.
-labs showed elevated white blood cell count of 40,000. -fever above 106 -xrays of body and also head normal -started on antibiotics, cool IV fluids, and steroids. -antech fever panel ordered, results not in yet
I have taken her in for the IV treatment every day this week and no improvement. She has started hiding under furniture at night (she stays at vet from 8am until 5pm every day for treatment). I'm so worried she is going to die and they don't know what's wrong. At home they advise me to use alcohol on ears/paws and to put ice packs around her bed like they do when she is in kennel getting treatment but she is always just burning up and has started "belly breathing". She's at the vet now getting her treatment.
What can I do or ask for? Please advise if you have any idea. I just lost my 17 year old kitty in April and I am so sick with worry.

2024.05.18 11:08 homeandsoul Lighting the Way: How to Choose the Perfect Hanging Lights for Your Space

Introduction:
Lighting can make or break the ambiance of a room. And when it comes to hanging lights, the options are endless. From pendant lights for kitchen to modern hanging lights that add a touch of elegance, selecting the right fixtures can transform your space. In this guide, we'll delve into the key considerations to help you choose the perfect hanging lights for your home, ensuring both style and functionality align seamlessly.
Understanding Your Space:
Before diving into the world of hanging lights, it's crucial to assess your space. Consider the room's size, layout, and existing décor. Are you looking to illuminate a cozy reading nook or make a bold statement in your dining area? Understanding your space will guide your lighting choices and ensure they complement rather than overpower the room.
Functionality and Style:
When it comes to hanging lights, striking a balance between functionality and style is essential. For instance, pendant lights are an excellent choice for the kitchen, offering both task lighting and aesthetic appeal. They come in various styles, from industrial to sleek and modern, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your kitchen's design.
For a contemporary touch, consider opting for modern hanging lights. These fixtures often feature clean lines, geometric shapes, and innovative materials, adding a sophisticated flair to any space. Whether you're updating your living room or revamping your home office, modern hanging lights can elevate the overall ambiance with their sleek design.
Aligning with Home Style Furniture:
Another crucial aspect to consider when choosing hanging lights is how they complement your home style furniture. Your lighting fixtures should harmonize with the existing décor, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. For instance, if your space boasts rustic wooden furniture, opt for pendant lights with warm finishes like bronze or copper to create a cohesive look.
On the other hand, if your home features minimalist furniture with clean lines, modern hanging lights with sleek metallic finishes or minimalist designs can add a contemporary edge. Remember, the goal is to create a harmonious balance between your hanging lights and home style furniture, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing interior design scheme.
Practical Considerations:
In addition to aesthetics, practical considerations such as size, scale, and placement are equally important when choosing hanging lights. Ensure the size of your fixtures is proportionate to the room they'll illuminate, avoiding overpowering or undersized options.
Moreover, consider the placement of your hanging lights to optimize both functionality and visual impact. For instance, pendant lights above kitchen islands should hang at an appropriate height to provide ample task lighting while not obstructing the view.
Conclusion:
Choosing the perfect hanging lights for your space is a blend of art and science. By considering factors such as functionality, style, alignment with home style furniture, and practical considerations, you can illuminate your space in a way that reflects your unique taste and enhances the overall ambiance. Whether you opt for pendant lights for the kitchen, modern hanging lights for a contemporary touch, or any other style, let your lighting choices illuminate the way to a more stylish and inviting home.

2024.05.18 10:49 shahla_naz The Magic of Keepsakes and Baby Announcements: Capturing Precious Moments

The Magic of Keepsakes and Baby Announcements: Capturing Precious Moments
The arrival of a newborn is a momentous occasion, a chapter filled with wonder, exhaustion, and endless love. It's a time capsule of firsts – the first smile, the first giggle, those tiny, perfect fingers wrapped around yours. In the whirlwind of emotions, keepsakes and baby announcements become vessels that capture these fleeting moments, transforming them into tangible memories to cherish for a lifetime.

https://preview.redd.it/vejigaxwe51d1.png?width=451&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d850c1a9dcc9b85d725466d2a7b97c819ebb3b9
The Power of Keepsakes: Preserving a Legacy of Love
A survey revealed that 82% of parents consider keepsakes to be extremely or very important. These treasured items hold the power to transport us back to a specific time and place, evoking a kaleidoscope of emotions. A hand-knitted baby blanket, a lock of hair, or a personalized photo album become tangible reminders of a child's growth and development.
Keepsakes Come in All Shapes and Sizes:
Keepsakes transcend mere objects; they transform into tangible expressions of love and dedication. Here's a closer look at the treasure trove of keepsakes that capture a child's journey:
Handmade Treasures: A Labor of Love: Imagine snuggling your child in a hand-knitted sweater, the stitches whispering stories of countless evenings spent crafting it with love. A meticulously crafted scrapbook, filled with handwritten notes, pressed flowers, and tiny keepsakes, becomes a personalized time capsule, brimming with sentimentality. These handmade treasures hold a unique power – they are imbued with the love and care poured into their creation, making them irreplaceable heirlooms.
Firsts Galore: Celebrating Milestones: Those precious "firsts" – the gummy grin of a first smile, the wonder in their eyes during their first haircut – are fleeting moments we desperately want to hold onto. Keepsakes dedicated to these milestones help us do just that. A "first smile" frame adorned with a photo captures that radiant grin forever. A "first haircut" certificate, complete with a lock of hair and the date, becomes a sweet reminder of a momentous occasion. These keepsakes serve as stepping stones on a child's growth journey, allowing us to relive these special moments with a surge of fondness.
Personalized Touches: Uniquely You: Sometimes, a simple touch can elevate a keepsake to a whole new level. Engraved jewelry, a locket with a sonogram etched on the inside or a birthstone, becomes a personalized treasure that a child can carry close to their heart. Personalized growth charts document a child's physical development, but can also be adorned with photos, milestones, and handwritten messages, transforming them into cherished keepsakes.
Custom-designed baby books allow you to curate a one-of-a-kind narrative of your child's life, filled with photos, stories, and personalized embellishments. These personalized keepsakes reflect the unique bond between parent and child, making them even more special.
Digital Keepsakes: Embracing the Modern World: The digital age offers a plethora of options to preserve memories in new and exciting ways. Create a digital scrapbook using online platforms, where you can compile photos, videos, and even voice recordings, weaving a multimedia tapestry of your child's life. Imagine the joy of revisiting these digital keepsakes years down the line, with the ability to relive precious moments through sight and sound.
Record a heartfelt message to your child, expressing your hopes and dreams for them. Schedule it to be delivered on their 18th birthday, a time capsule of love and guidance to navigate their next chapter. Digital keepsakes, while not tangible in the traditional sense, offer a unique way to preserve memories in a constantly evolving world.
Keepsakes Foster Connection:
Keepsakes aren't just for parents. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cherished friends can all curate their own collections, fostering a sense of connection and shared history with the child. Imagine the joy on your grandmother's face as she pulls out a hand-stitched baby quilt you made as a child. Keepsakes become a bridge across generations, weaving a tapestry of love and family.
Imagine the delight on your aunt's face when she unwraps a hand-drawn portrait you created as a little one, or the warmth that fills your uncle's heart as he reads a first birthday card signed by his tiny niece. These cherished items become more than just objects; they transform into tangible reminders of love, milestones, and the unbreakable bond between generations.
Here's how keepsakes act as a bridge across generations:
· Building Connections: A hand-knitted sweater from Grandma, a first rattle passed down from a cherished family friend - these keepsakes represent the love and care poured into the child by those beyond the immediate parents.
· Shared History: Keepsakes become conversation starters, sparking memories and stories. Looking at a framed photo from a baby's first trip to the zoo can lead to discussions about family adventures and traditions.
· Sense of Belonging: Having personalized keepsakes allows a child to feel connected to their family history and heritage. A baby book filled with handwritten messages from aunts, uncles, and grandparents provides a tangible reminder of their place within the family tapestry.
· Treasured Memories: As time passes, these keepsakes become even more valuable. A child who may not remember their first birthday can still experience the joy of the occasion by viewing a framed photo or a video message from a loved one.
Creating Keepsakes for Grandparents and Beyond:
Here are some ideas for keepsakes that families can create together, fostering a sense of connection across generations:
· Time Capsule: Fill a box with small items that represent the current year, the child's personality, and messages from loved ones. Bury it or store it safely to be opened on a significant birthday or milestone.
· Handwritten Letters: Encourage grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cherished friends to write letters to the child, sharing their hopes and dreams for them. These can be included in a baby book or saved as keepsakes.
· Collaborative Art Projects: Plan a family gathering where everyone contributes to a piece of art, quilt, or scrapbook dedicated to the child.
· Digital Keepsakes: Create a shared online album or digital story that documents the child's growth and milestones. Include photos, videos, and messages from various family members.
By encouraging the creation and sharing of keepsakes, families can build a bridge of love and shared history that connects children to the broader circle of people who adore them. These cherished items become more than just objects; they weave a beautiful tapestry of love and family, reminding everyone of the special bond that transcends generations.
The Enchantment of Baby Announcements: Spreading the Joy
Baby announcements are the joyous declarations of a new life entering the world. They serve a multitude of purposes:
· Sharing the News: With a 37% increase in social media baby announcements in the past 5 years, these digital declarations are a quick and easy way to share the happy news with a wider circle.
· Setting the Tone: Whether it's a whimsical photo shoot or a heartfelt message, baby announcements set the tone for the child's arrival, reflecting the parents' personalities and their excitement for parenthood.
· Creating a Community: Baby announcements can spark a wave of love and support from loved ones near and far. The outpouring of congratulations and well-wishes from friends and family helps build a network of support around the new parents.

2024.05.18 10:30 MetrixFADE Advice needed for summer storage? (Looking for advice)

For initial information, I am a college student looking for a summer solution for furniture and personal storage during the time in between leases from May - August in West Lafayette, IN. I have a car and would be moving everything in myself, so drive up or elevator access would be ideal. I think a 5'x10' unit would be feasible as I could push everything into the unit and stack everything up the walls and don't need to access it throughout the summer. Would it be okay to use an outdoor facility that I can drive up to as it might be cheapeeasier but likely might have issues due to weatheheat/animals? Additionally, how important is climate controlled when it comes to units?
I have: -A small desk -A 43" TV -A queen bed frame w/ mattress and boxspring -72" couch that can be broken in modular pieces and cushions -A 30 x36 x36 inch Dining Table and 2-Bar Stool Set -A 43" TV -A 47.2 x 15.87 x 19.6 inches entertainment system -Two 11.81"D x 16.54"W x 19.69"H Bedside Tables -71.18"H x 24.49W x 11.57D inch Bookshelf -6 Ikea Bags of Clothes -Some Medium sized boxes for misc goods -Entire kitchen pots/pans and spices (might not be okay to store outside) -Large Chest (Roughly 4 ft wide)

Understanding Hydraulic Gas Strut Lift Support

Hydraulic Gas Strut Lift Support represent a remarkable advancement in furniture technology, offering a solution to the age-old problem of slamming doors and lids. Unlike traditional hinges, which rely solely on gravity to close, soft close hinges incorporate a hydraulic mechanism that controls the speed of closure, ensuring a gentle and controlled shut every time.
At the heart of soft close hinges is their unique mechanism, which typically consists of a pneumatic cylinder filled with fluid. When the lid or door is pushed towards the closing position, the fluid inside the cylinder is forced through a small opening, creating resistance that slows down the movement. This gradual deceleration prevents the door or lid from slamming shut, mitigating the risk of accidents and damage to the furniture.
Compared to traditional hinges, Hydraulic Gas Strut Lift Support offer several distinct advantages. Firstly, they provide a quieter and more peaceful environment by eliminating the noise associated with slamming. This is particularly beneficial in homes with children or in shared living spaces where noise reduction is a priority. Additionally, soft close hinges contribute to the longevity of furniture by reducing the impact of repeated slamming, thereby minimizing wear and tear on hinges and joints.
Overall, understanding the mechanics and benefits of Hydraulic Gas Strut Lift Support underscores their value as an essential component of modern furniture design. By prioritizing safety, convenience, and durability, these innovative hinges enhance the user experience and elevate the functionality of any piece of furniture they adorn.

2024.05.18 02:40 BumblebeeHelpful3655 Avoid 900Factory For Housing

Wanted to post on google but apparently it was too long, so I posted it here to still share:
To anyone considering living at the Factory, DON’T. I beg you to please live anywhere else. There are so many 1 star reviews on google for a reason. Not only does this place rip you off with insane prices and fees, but they don’t actually use any of the money on the residents. The building is falling apart, and upper management (not on site) does not care.
Almost everything, everywhere is broken. Most people I knew had a broken washer or dryer, numerous windows leaked (if you could even seen through them, mine had a layer of mold growth inside it), the roofs on both buildings had bad leaks to the point that whenever it rained water would drip in the hallways (and in our apartment by the windows), the elevator in the B building broke constantly, and most of the exterior doors didn’t lock properly. Almost all of the apartments have electrical issues (I was shown electrical connections by maintenance that had caught fire), and I was told the property essentially forced some residents to sign NDAs over maintenance issues. Additionally, while I was living there all of the fire extinguishers were expired and/or depleted, and the fire department told me that the buildings didn’t even meet fire code. The whole place seemed to be run by one maintenance guy who was doing his best to hold everything together with nothing.
But it still gets worse. Of the “amenities” they offer: the sky deck is constantly locked due to broken tiles from a collapsing roof. Only half the hot tub works and it is always filled with non-residents playing music super late at night (so complaining to management does nothing), the BBQ never has gas, only one of the fire pits works, and the “high-speed” wifi with only one ethernet port per apartment available to residents always fails when you need it most. In the gym, be prepared to meet a hotel gym combined with broken equipment (I think they are down to one treadmill upstairs now?), and make sure to increase your car insurance before living here because driving through the parking garage is asking to get your car hit by someone else. Or broken into as cameras don’t cover most of it. Or booted with a $75 fee because you accidentally parked in an obscured “staff only” spot with poor signage. It’s even better when you have a guest come and visit because they should just plan on getting booted. The street parking is filled with residents who don’t want to pay the insane $75/month fee so there is no parking for guests anywhere.
Going into the apartments isn’t much better. Expect the cheapest furniture this place can buy in bulk with foam mattresses that have had a questionable history, the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever used, sofas that look like they have been through a lifetime of abuse, closets that don’t even have a door, and tables that dissolve under the use of cleaning products. Even the walls are cheap with so little insulation you can hear every conversation from the apartment next to you. Which isn’t surprising given that the “design” of the property is “unfinished” meaning concrete floors and missing ceilings with pipes bolted to them running all over. Also expect to move into an apartment that hasn’t been cleaned, but that you will definitely be fined for moving out of if you leave it in the same condition. Not that it matters anyways because your security deposit is basically a donation to the property unless other residents get a lawyer to force them to cough up your money.
This place can’t even do the bare minimum of paying utilities and contractors. In my time here the utilities almost got shut off due to the factory not paying for them (despite the fact the residents pay many times the real cost) and most contractors avoid it due to a history of not being paid.
Every few years they fire/force the staff to quit, bring in new people, and give the property money, making the old staff the scapegoats to the residents. Just for the cycle to happen again once everyone has been locked into a year long lease with no way to get out. There is a reason everyone who lives here tries to sell their lease with no buyers.
Again, I beg you to please read all of the one star reviews before moving here, and consider the fact that most of the 5 stars conveniently have either no text or a generic response.
