small brain: ren is the husband and stimpy is the wife
average brain: theyre both husbands
huge brain: they take turns being husband and wife or sometimes theyre both husbands or wives or both individually husband and wife at the same time or simply neither and just are spouses
galaxy brain: gender roles do not apply to them they are beyond any shred of a comprehensible gender identity they just do as they please without any labels they simply just are ren and stimpy

i swear the bf fandom is absolutely hilarious in its outrage at ppl labelling it yaoi. like, in their scrambling haste to not be lumped with ~teh yucky yaois~ u end up with either 
1) mildly homophobic insinuations that bf is Not Like That. fuck u okay, it definitely IS like that even if it doesn't exactly fit your usual parameters of "gay” due to various factors. if ur so terrified that ppl are going to be grossed out by SIMPLY the idea of there being gay stuff in the story that you have to RUSH to convince them otherwise, then i dont want u or any of those ppl here anyway,
or 2) some know-it-alls yelling about how fujoshis are ruining everything. aduh......... ok yeah sure, they're mislabeling it, but that's bc their idea of "yaoi" = a story about guys in love (usually involves sex, but not always). which tbh, isn’t exactly wrong here.
look, i'll grant u that bl as a genre has loads of issues and baggage, and yes, there are problematic fans (which genre doesn’t) but i would also appreciate it if y’all didn’t drag in an entire discussion that requires a hell lot more care and nuance to tackle, where it’s not needed? esp if you're going to half-ass it and denounce even ppl u're aiming to protect? it’d be nice if you didn’t generalize an entire genre based on what western fandom thinks it is, a label that even some gay/bi/queer/questioning(!!!) ppl use in online fan spaces to distinguish themselves as & to connect with others who are readers/creators of the genre. whatever issues u have with bl (rape fantasies, unrealistic situations, etc), u will also find in other genres, esp ones dominated by men (yes even gay men). bl really isn't a special case. i get that bf being labeled "yaoi" can get annoying bc it's inaccurate but in the process of pointing that out, could ppl just not be absolutely insufferable about something they're only informed about from their western bubble of things.
and like jesus, seriously, who the fuck cares what it's labeled as anyway? god knows it's been labeled “shoujo” for the longest time but that didn't stop men who aren’t insecure about their masculinity from reading it. anyone with a brain can decide on their own whether it’s worth their time or not based on the plot summary, not just its genre.

where am i on the spectrum if im sexually attracted to men and women but wouldnt wanna have sex with a woman in person? (im only romantically attracted to men btw)
im also a man (this is from the last ask. u dont have to post this but i just thought this might help in figuring stuff out :p)
---
You are the only one who can decide what terminology fits you best. It does sound like you might want to look into bisexuality and pansexuality- I have a friend who feels a similar way, and identifies as bi and demisexual as they feel more comfortable having sex with men than women on a personal level, while being attracted to both, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's what's right for you. You could be bisexual and homoromantic, or you may be more comfortable using a more vague umbrella term like simply bi/gay, queer, or homoflexible for example, if you can't quite define yourself with more specific label.
The thing about labels is that you can bend them to fit how you feel, not the other way round, so if you find a label that's comfortable, you can use that, even if you don't 100% fit with the dictionary definition, and if you realise it doesn't feel right in the future you can just switch it for one that does fit better.

ALRIGHT HERE IT FINALLY IS; 6.03 by me
I apologize in advance: this will be lengthy  LONG AF, as it’ll be part-my thoughts watching live & part-post comments to certain thoughts
ALSO** DISCLAIMER** I SHOULD’VE SAID THIS A WHILE AGO BUT I’LL SAY IT NOW that I type my thoughts VERBATIM, which is why it’s never in essay format because eh, it’s not me. IT ALSO MEANS I CURSE A LOT IM SORRY IT JUST COMES OUT, I’M NOT ELOQUENT ENOUGH TO MAKE MY POINT WITH BETTER WORDS .. Anyway I shall begin, feel free to comment on anything *just don’t come @ me for literally just thinking something* 
Ready @flyingnonny, @marialujan22
Cute little community, alright let’s see what’s going down
Chinese laundry a little stereotypical but I get it
SHELAGH’S UNIFORM BARELY FIT HA AW
“dear Patrick!” Laura is so adorable I can’t
The smiles in the mirror!! *shit after I think about it, more parallels. Shelagh’s looked in the mirror in so many of her great scenes. Series 1! & 2! & was that 4 with the nurse’s uniform the first time! Ah my bby growing up 😭
Lol sister Ursula’s annoying ass still here .. not for LONG THOUGH😊
NO ONE INVITED U ALONG SIS
dead @ Patrick’s reaction, someone gif it
Her mother in law looks mean as hell
Is Lucy mixed?
ah yep called it. Damn deported? Too relevant today..
PHYLLIS
I just get so excited now I love her
Lmao remember when I legit didn’t like her because of her comments to Shelagh before she came back to nursing. DONT WORRY IM OVER THAT
Shelagh looks so pretty!! More of her in cute outfits with the hair down pls 😍
Here for her 1962 wardrobe
Lol lullaby type music what’s she pulling out
“Tempting fate” stop! No bby everything will be okay if not I’m losing my shit
Sister J & Shelagh moments are precious ** Ah you guys reminded me of again another parallel I’m so here for it.
But like if she’s almost halfway as sister j says, has she told everyone already? we shall see, or maybe it’ll be implied
Shelagh saying “WHAT?” is most of my internal monologue in just about all my classes
FUCK, SISTER URSULA ARE YOU FOR REAL
Phyllis’s hand raise tryna avoid actually saying “no offense” to Dr Turner is gold
UGH I CAND STAND THIS NUN UGH
I will bet all my the cash in my wallet (prob $30 at most) we’ll see a soft side to her and Ima still be like “adios puta”
Shelagh’s like “we have a game plan” aw she is pure gold, protect her at all costs what the hell!¡💖
Also if no one at nonnatus knows this could’ve been a perfect chance to tell them, or someone could’ve been eyeing her walking around the table and suspecting? Like Phyllis would notice, she knows everything
Shelagh looking at Patrick literally like “is this bitch serious??”
This isn’t Downton Abbey, I never hated a ‘main character’ (don’t come @ me I hated a few characters but still loved the show)
SISTER URSULA STRESSED? OH WELL
Yo did sister Julienne really not slide Shelagh a new uniform? She’s in a cute outfit but c'mon
Lol this lady knows she’s pregnant
Fred angrily spinning the wheel, I feel
DONT TOUCH THE ROLODEX
PHYLLIS COME AT HERRRRR
20 min visits, “OK”.
Oh no. I sense a sad story coming
Phyllis’s little run, precious
Sister Julienne spilling the tea, but again I don’t care about sister Ursula’s feelings or backstory
WAIT WHO CALLED A THREAT OF GETTING SHUT DOWN THOUGH? IT WASN’T ME BUT I REMEMBER READING IT? Lol score for u because I didn’t see this coming (even though I know damn well they’re not shutting down, like the show would be over)
PHYLLIS ANGRILY EATING IS ME
IDEALLY I’D WANNA SAY I’M TRIXIE BUT HONESTLY WHEN AM I NOT PHYLLIS
she’s my hero anyway, no disappointment
Angela is precious
Tim trying be funny lol but we actually hate sister Ursula
HA NO SQUIRRELS , WAIT so today literally a squirrel ran across the feet and I freaked out. My campus is full of squirrels but like I’m from NYC I don’t fuck with them.
Ok, A) Shelagh’s shoes kinda don’t match but I’ll let it go & 2) is it implied everyone @ nonnatus knows? Like how has she not had a checkup this whole time. I guess Patrick could but that’s doesn’t seem likely
Toad in the hole??  que eso?
I think I said the other day I think she’s watching tv somewhere
MAKE SISTER MJ RETIRE ?? UM HOW DARE U SAY A THING LIKE THAT
The table: *collective gasps* me: *LOUDER GASP*
EVERYONE WAS SHOOK WHEN SHE CALLED BARBARA A SLACKER
Why is babs taking it to heart? Like she sucks anyway
I love Phyllis damn it, not in a way I love Trixie and Shelagh though, it’s different I can’t explain it
I need Phyllis to encourage me to stay in university PLS (some one meet Linda Basset & send me a video of it)
Ah “delightful” screams. This show terrifies me to think about being pregnant one day lol. Like I thought my mother’s stories were bad enough but nah
Shelagh: *is frustrated* me: *gets frustrated* RELAX BBY
how did they really leave her alone, DAMN IT SISTER U, THIS THREATENED MISCARRIAGE WILL BE ON YOU
Also someone get her a new uniform she’s going to dirty her nice clothes
When did scrubs become a thing ?? my mother has like a zillion pairs & I can’t imagine her working in a dress all day. Omg I gotta find a picture one day from when she graduated nursing school she had such a similar style uniform to the nonnutans, I love it 😂
Patrick needs to put his damn finger down im tired of that shit. If he ever does it again with Shelagh I’ll flip a lid
Anyways..
Did she not want a girl?? @ in law
“no, a girls very special” aw
“MY WIFE IS SPREAD TOO THINLY” ha like on a cracker JK STOP STRESSING SHELAGH
“She wouldn’t appreciate the term Elderly primigravida” ha true man, remember she said that last series
lol I wanna see her reaction if they ever label her again
UM SIS YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP THEM FROM BEING COMPASSIONATE AND HELPFUL THOUGH?
get the fuck outta here, let them send sister MJ away I will revolt
Saw this scene haha, hope Ursula falls off
Damn came at Lucy, what’s wrong with Linda haha, that’s my gram’s name
She’s so chill about that, me? I wouldn’t let that go. I’m also so damn extra & annoying
“HELLS BELLS” Lmaoo
Not the same as Phyllis saying “Hells teeth” but that’s catchy
Also Patrick can’t type that’s funny
“mending your dress” FIRST OF ALL PATRICK, SHUT UP
YES SHELAGH TELL HIM
“Cool, calm, collected & professional” love her
SHE LAUGHED BUT CRINGED I NEED The GIF
You guys don’t understand, i need to screenshot a conversation with one of my friends. Her and I only ever use CtM screenshots for message reactions it’s so funny but also weird in a way😂 sometimes their cringes are better than basic memes
But to be honest they really have never fought? Lmao that moment could’ve been a little argument but they got over it too quick, bc/ how do they ALWAYS agree/get on? (Excluding the adoption issue but whatever)
Lol why did she have to get up, you get up Patrick
Her outfit is so cute !! My bby
AW!, they’re cute, I’ll forgive him
former nun sitting on a mans lap I love it!ÂĄ without context it sounds funnier
“We’ll pull through, we always do” better be some foreshadow for something good!
I don’t think she has postpartum though
*SUCKS TEETH* UMM BABS not checking the baby is prob a bad move
Shelagh definitely has a baby bump at that angle, DOES EVERYONE KNOW or not WTF?
Bby you feel pain that’s not good u know this !
seriously does Barbara not see it
I’M MRS COLLIER OR WHATEVER BRINGING UP THE SUBJECT & BETTING ON IT
“Have you all been speculating?” HAHH
“Well I don’t approve of gambling on the premises” SHELAGH YOU ARE A GEM
seriously protect her at all costs, I know it’s coming but I don’t know when or how
ALSO THESE PATIENTS KNOW AND ARE ABOUT TO TELL EVERYONE THEY SEE, SO AGAIN, DO THEY KNOW @ NONNATUS?
shit they screaming, calm down ladies
“SPOILED UNGRATEFUL GIRL” SHIT SHE PLAYED HER
lol Patrick trying to play it all off like he’s calm, cool and collected
WHY IS THE INSPECTOR SHADY?
no one asked u to be honest keep it pushing
Also it’s 31 MINS IN & TRIXIE IS NOT HERE YET? like when is she coming? I’m less hopeful of her saving the day the more time goes bye :/
WHY IS THE BABY NOT BREATHING?
“how can you [maternity home] compete with that [hospital]?”
JUST WATCH
Don’t blame yourself Barbara :/
Again Shelagh’s having pain, it’s going to be soon isn’t it?
This better not be the heart to heart Laura mentioned ** ah we’re good it’s not
#SaveTheMaternityHome2k17
Shelagh is going to the bathroom OMG SHES GONNA BLEED NOW RIGHT
FUCK, SHE IS. MY BBY💔💔
DIOS MIO AYUDA ME
she’s so scared, I cry for her
“Hello nurse Crane, it’s Shelagh..” *omg she rarely introduces herself & even less as Shelagh & I feel no one calls her that but Sister J & Patrick?
PROTECT SHELAGH AT ALL COSTS
why St Cuthberts vs the London?
DOES THIS MEAN PHYLLIS KNOWS? I need answers
Phyllis being a badass simply walking down the hall
BEATRIX BBY💕💕
HERE SHE IS, LETS GET IT
I hope this baby lives omg
I mean baby Lin, baby Turner will happen
FUCK THE INSPECTION YOU’RE MORE IMPORTANT SHELAGH
THE MAGNIFICENT PHYLLIS CRANE
Shelagh in the hospital bed is breaking my heart I swear I don’t have
PHYLLIS IS GOING TO HANDLE SISTER URSULA & SAVE THE DAY
I wanted it to be Trixie but IM NOT MAD LETS GET IT PHYLLIS
ugh pls save the maternity home
my poor girl looking so sad **** also how did she get all her things on the table?
Give Laura Main every damn award this series, I don’t care if we’re only 3 episodes in.
Her bump looks more visible in the hospital gown? do you think it’s a pillow or something lol
TRAGIC BACKSTORY UNLOCKED
SHIT ITS SO SAD omg, I’m cryin
PHYLLIS FINALLY PRESSING SISTER URSULA, TELL HER
AW babs we all feel
Phyllis protecting Barbara aw
There’s not been as much Trixie as I had hoped 💔
But she’s back bitches and I’m happy I missed her
So Barbara smokes for real now, but Trixie doesn’t share her black cigarettes haha
Take your weak apology and go
I CALLED IT, DONT @ ME
I KNEW SISTER MJ WAS WATCHING TV SOMEWHERE
they put a bench out for her how sweet
Sister MJ saying “silence” then “shh it’s starting” is me every week watching this damn show
It hurts that I am so invested in this show
How did it happen I don’t know but I love it so much 
Barbara’s ring is pretty
All is well & everything is almost back to normal and lovely *for now*
Sister Julienne is so faithful, like I really would struggle to be so compassionate
Sister Ursula is upset and I’m awful because I do not care
I knew they’d show her vulnerable side so we’d change our minds but I can’t
Sister Julienne you’re so great
It wasn’t a leak??
YES SHE’S ALIVE
“I’m going to the mother house” *squees* YES ENJOY, THANK YOU FOR THE DISTRESS, PLEASE BE ON YOUR WAY
Sister Julienne don’t ask her to reconsider
This was a sweet moment but still don’t like Sister Ursula
AW SISTER MJ I LOVE YOU
she’s so pure, protect her!
Nice leaving the door open Sister Ursula
HATE THE CHARACTER, but you HAVE TO ADMIT HARRIET WALTER IS AN EXCELLENT ACTRESS
Phyllis driving her is only right
YES SISTER J IS BACK IN CHARGE
#LETS GET IT 1962
Trixie’s concerned, WHERE IS SISTER MARY CYNTHIA?? ** I really thought Trixie was going to play a bigger role in this episode & I thought this was going to be a longer scene but there’s 5 more episodes, I won’t complain I’ll just be patient. LOL JK UM when is Trixie going to get some time to shine
Oh Shelagh 💔
Aw the Chen’s
OKAY THEY’RE CELEBRATING & EVERYONE’S HAPPY BUT DO THEY NOT KNOW ABOUT SHELAGH? ** **I’m still not sure if they even know she’s expecting but why was Sister Julienne not told she was in the hospital? I know it happened fast but there was time. I don’t like how this played out like it seemed pushed aside but I guess that’s what next episode will address (I hope)
Otherwise, excellent as always
AH VANESSA REDGRAVE & THE NARRATION >>
“We are all traveling through one another’s countries but it is no matter if we meet as strangers, for we can join forces and learn to love..” ah this so applies today ugh the world is insane
BONUS: PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK
New midwife = Valerie’s coming back which is cool but also she’s going to be problematic so *hmm* maybe not
Fred and Violet are cute but still cringing & laughing about them in episode 1
“..The way the world treats women” MORE PHYLLIS BEING THE MAGNIFICENT GEM SHE IS, I AM EXCITED  
finding out Tom’s past will be interesting, I’m thinking his mom almost gave him away but then didn’t? probably was raised with out a dad maybe? We’ll see
“We were happy enough before and we’ll be happy again, whatever happens” I don’t freaking know if this is Patrick comforting or breaking but I’m going to BAWL NEXT WEEK. Shelagh’s face omg💔 I can’t take this like she’s been through so much! They’ve been through so much heartache, what more can they take. UGH WTF I feel like they never get to enjoy anything, & I know “that’s life” & “it’s a drama” or whatever you say but damn. I love this poor character so much (why?¿!) & she’s usually sad in every series !!
The End.🙃 it’s 1:52am, I should go to bed.

Arplis - News: 32 of the Best Moving Hacks We Could Find Across the Internet
What do a dentists chair and a desert island have in common? Theyre both preferable to the absolute chaos and agony of moving. Research shows that 6 out of 10 people rank moving as the most stressful life event. More stressful than a divorce, even! And no amount of coffee runs, to-do lists, or yoga breaks will 100% alleviate the pain of getting your stuff from points A to B.
However, there are ways to work smarter, not harder, over the course of a daunting move. Lots of people have survived this before. Some of them have even shared their lessons and secrets, like tricks to avoid a shampoo-related crisis or how to use household items as packing material (how kind of them!).
So we scoured different corners of the internet including chat boards, YouTube videos, and moving and organization blogs to bring you this amazing list of 33 moving hacks, or simple tricks and shortcuts, to make some of the challenging parts of your move a little easier.
1. Pad heavy boxes with toilet paper and paper towels at the top
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Ideally your boxes shouldnt exceed 50 pounds. But when youre moving, box space is precious, and you want to use up every inch before moving on to the next box to save on cardboard.
So instead of packing a large box filled to the brim with heavy items alone, put your books or gym weights or massive rock collection in the bottom half of the box, do a test lift to get a feel for how heavy it is, and once it starts to feel unmanageable, pad the top of the box with extra rolls of toilet paper or paper towels from the economy pack taking up space in your bathroom and pantry shelves.
Youll make the most of every box you have, and youll be happy when you dont need to designate a separate box for paper products. Plus, this arrangement protects the heavier box contents by cushioning them during the move. Just be sure to set aside some TP and paper towels for your first day box with essentials for your first 24 hours.

2. Shrinkwrap lightweight objects together

Use vacuum-sealable bags or industrial strength stretch wrap also known as movers wrap to pack light, bulky items. Shrinkwrap piles of pillows, blankets, and bedding into small manageable bundles which you can carry in a single trip.
Source: Reddit
3. Cover toiletry bottles with plastic wrap
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Unscrew the lid of toiletries and other liquids, cover the opening with plastic wrap, then reattach the lid. This keeps liquids from breaking open or slowly leaking all over items during the move.

4. Pack your toaster in a bag to catch crumbs
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Put the toaster in a bag before packing it with the kitchen appliances. This will keep crumbs from making a mess in the box.

5. Pack dishes sideways so theyre less likely to break
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Pack plates vertically, like a record collection, to evenly distribute pressure across the box and make it less likely that the dishes will break in the move. Line the box with bubble wrap, then wrap each individual plate with packing paper, laying a foam sheet between each plate in the box.

6. Keep necklaces from tangling using a toilet paper roll

String necklaces through an empty toilet paper roll before packing them to keep tangles at bay during the move.

7. Use coffee filters to cushion bowls and cups
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Coffee filters are inexpensive, easy to find, and likely already take up real estate in your cupboard. Use a few filters as padding between each stacked bowl and cup to avoid breaks and cracks during transport.
Source: Millennial Moms
8. Label the tops and sides of boxes to make them easy to identify
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Labeling the tops and sides of each box or container makes it easier to identify them throughout the move. Movers wont have to twist the box to the side to see a label on the side or pull it out of a stack to find a top label.
Source: I Heart Planners
9. Use pool noodles to protect picture frame corners
youtube
Cut spare pool noodles or foam pipe insulation down their sides and slide them on the exterior frames of mirrors or pictures. The extra padding keeps frames from banging together and cracking or shattering while in the moving van.

10. Tape an X across mirrors to prevent them from shattering
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Tape an X across a glass surface to strengthen it and absorb shock. Use masking, painters, or washi tape for easy removal.
Source: Movers.com
11. Use binder clips to guard razor blades
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
If your razors protective travel cover is long gone, use a binder clip over the blade to prevent accidental nicks and cuts during the move.
12. Remove toner and ink cartridges from the printer
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Take the toner and ink cartridges out of your home printer and pack them in their own plastic bags. In the event they burst, break, or leak during the move, they wont damage any other home office supplies.

13. Buy boxes online to save money
Source: (My Life Graphic/ Shutterstock)
You can find free boxes on Craigslist in the free section under For Sale or from the produce manager at grocery stores, but if youre looking for high-quality moving boxes, you can save money by purchasing them online. Sites like uboxes.com are an average 20% cheaper than office stores or moving companies.

14. Cut handles into boxes to make lifting easier

Transform regular boxes into easy-to-carry banker boxes: simply cut handles into the cardboard using an X-ACTO knife. Just be sure not to cut too close to the top to avoid rips.

15. Use IKEAs industrial shopping bags for last minute knick knacks
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
IKEAs recognizable FRAKTA bags can hold up to 55 pounds, and cost under $2 each. Use them to move large quantities of dry food from the pantry, or last-minute knick-knacks that didnt find a home in a box. The bags reinforced straps make them easy to fill and carry.

16. Protect your floors with furniture sliders
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Put furniture sliders under any heavy or bulky items in your home to easily move large items across carpets, rugs, linoleum, wood, and tile floors. Sliders keep you from scuffing up the floor during a move and make it easier to push items around. Use them in the new home as well while you figure out where furniture fits in each room.
Source: Apartment Therapy
17. Use packing tape for hassle-free box assembly
youtube
Paper packaging tape is great for building and sealing boxes. Its easy to find the edge of the strip on paper tape, and you can tear it without the need for metal teeth tools. Its self-sticking, but it lifts off surfaces, too. You dont have to worry about ripping the boxes to shreds when you inevitably open and reopen them for repacking (like you might with plastic packing tape).
Source: Soothing Sista
18. Pack your toolbox last, and make it the first thing you unload
Source: (Charles MD/ Shutterstock)
Moving truck logic goes as follows: the last thing out of the van is the first thing youll unpack. Make your toolbox the last item to go into the truck, and the first to come out. Chances are, youll need it for assembly or other moving needs.
Source: Complex
19. Throw towels in the washer before you move it
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Before loading the washing machine into the moving truck, stuff towels inside it. This will keep the tub from rotating in transit so it stays balanced all the way to its new destination.
Source: JDM Packing Supplies
20. Dont forget about Moms Attic for your fragile items
(Source: Moving Insider)
U-Hauls and other popular moving trucks feature a small storage space above the driving cabin, called Moms Attic. Use this space to store boxes of fragile items like glassware, antiques, and electronics. This space above the cabin has the smoothest ride in the van.
Source: Moving Insider
21. Use the I formation
Source: (Penske Truck Rental)
Theres a right way and a wrong way to load a moving truck. The I formation, when properly executed, forms an uppercase I in the trucks cabin. That means:
Heavy objects, including appliances, are at the top of the formation
Desks, tables, and heavy boxes take up the middle portion
Mattresses and box springs are outside the formation, to the left of the middle column
Sofas and couches occupy the right side of the truck, outside the formation
Additional heavy boxes go in the back center of the truck, a bottom part of the I formation
Small boxes flank either side of the heavy boxes on the bottom of the I to complete the shape
Source: Penske Truck Rental
22. Sandwich your mattress with fitted sheets
(Source: Radoslav Bali / Unsplash)
You dont need an expensive mattress protector to keep your bed clean during the move. Protect it with a pair of old fitted sheets covering the top and bottom.

23. Follow the 20% rule to calculate truck travel time
Source (re-sized): (Marco Verch Professional Photographer and Speaker/ Flickr via Creative Commons Legal Code)
Using professional movers, you can expect pricing to start at $1,000, but renting a van on your own, youre only on the hook for the daily rental cost ($20 to $30/day) and the mileage fee. But dont underestimate travel time! In the truck, youll typically drive slower, so tack an additional 20% onto your travel time.
If youve never traveled this route before, use this formula:

Use the camel clutch when carrying loads from the moving truck to the home. Instead of holding the items in front of you, youll carry them on your back, with your arms behind you. This carry puts less pressure on your back.

25. Avoid a lockout with rubber bands

On move-in day, cover the tongue of any doors that youll be opening and closing frequently with a criss-crossed rubber band or hair elastic. That way, you can open the door hands-free without letting in the heat, cold, or any unwanted critters!

26. Make plans for doggy daycare

Anxious animals have a way of getting underfoot during the move, making it both harder to move heavy objects around the home. If you can, have pets stay with friends or family the day of the move-in.

27. Tip your movers or offer them refreshments

Moving is expensive, but that doesnt mean youre off the hook for tipping. Seventy-one percent of movers tip their moving help (39% of these tippers give at least 10% of the moving costs).
At the very least, offer your moving pros some refreshments, especially after they move something heavy like a bulky platform bed frame.

28. Never lose track of your cleaning supplies

Each room should be pristine before moving things in, and the cleaning caddy should be one of the first things out of the van. Use HomeLights exhaustive deep-clean checklist as a guide.

29. Hang art at the proper height
Source: (Splendid Actually)
Follow these guidelines to prevent a crooked art conundrum: Hang art at eye level in the home 56 to 60 inches above ground. Multiple frames should be clustered together, with the center of the cluster 56 inches up from the floor. When hanging a frame above furniture, there should be between 4 and 8 inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame.

30. Put down doormats, or insist that everyone wear booties
Source: (Hombre/ Unsplash)
Dont damage the floors of a new home before you get the chance to enjoy them. Put down doormats at each entrance when the move-in begins. If the weathers particularly messy, such as rain or snow, use disposable booties in the home to protect flooring.

31. Create a home base for your cat during move-in
Source: (Sun De_An/ Unsplash)
Cats under stress during a move can wreak havoc in a home by tearing up carpet and ruining rugs. Create a space away from the main area in your new home for the cat to feel comfortable during the move. Include favorite toys, beds, food, and fresh water to help your pet feel at ease.

32. Save floors (and your back) with a rubber wheeled dolly
Source (re-sized): (HireAHelper/ Flickr via Creative Commons Legal Code)
Lugging in heavy box after box during your move in is bound to put a strain on your back, and dragging them will damage the floor with scrapes and dents. Save time, and protect the finish of your floors, with a rubber-wheeled dolly. Daily rental is just $20, and youll be able to truck three to four boxes into the house in the time it takes to carry one.

Now its time to build some boxes, and practice lifting from your knees!

It’s the beginning of yet another year and the time is right to organise your apartment. Whether you live in a large flat or a smaller HDB space, you can find ways to make the most of what’s available. Reorganising things and enlisting the help of a Singapore interior design company will show you the full capacity of your property.
Freeing up space in the apartment doesn’t have to be a complex or expensive project. A few very simple changes will give you the opportunity to start 2019 in the best possible way.
Bins, Boxes and Other Simple Storage Solutions
Many stores feature bins, boxes and clever contraptions you can use to store most items and get them in some sort of order.
Ikea is one of the stores known for the cool organisational items but it’s not the only one.
If you have a pantry, you can use bins and boxes with labels on them to bring similar items together, group them and make them easier to retrieve. Clear bins are an ideal choice because you’ll get to see what’s stored inside of each.
Clothes that you’re not using at the time being can be stored in vacuum-sealed bags. You need a simple vacuum cleaner to get the air out and to shrink the size of the bag. Vacuum storage reduces the volume significantly, especially if you have bulkier items like coats, knitted clothes, blankets and duvets you’re not using.
Make Use of Vertical Storage
Living in a smaller HDB flat means that you don’t have a whole lot of horizontal space.
Horizontal storage options aren’t a good choice for you. Instead, opt for vertical alternatives. The more levels you can add to the wall (and even to the ceiling), the better.
Simple shelves are ideal because they’re space-saving. Cabinets give you a chance to hide things inside them but if you don’t have a lot of space, it’s not really a clever thing to place a bulky cabinet in the respective part of the home.
The interior designer you’re working with will help you create a personalised vertical storage solution for your home. These professionals know what it takes to utilize the nooks and the crannies that aren’t suitable for any other purpose.
Use Smart Furniture
The prevalence of smaller living spaces in Singapore over the past few years has contributed to a brand new furniture trend.
Smart furniture is usually multi-purpose and it can either be transformed or it featured a hidden storage compartment.
Such pieces are ideal for a home that’s to be reorganised in order to free up space. A bed that has a storage unit underneath or a similar coffee table can enable you to tuck many items inside. If you’re using the space underneath your furniture, you’ll be free from having to clutter the operational surfaces inside the home.
There are many types of smart furniture on the market. Even if you can’t find a piece addressing your needs, such an item can be custom-created for you.
While custom furniture is more expensive than ready-made items, it will be an ideal choice for your home and your storage needs. In addition, custom furniture can be crafted with more attention to detail – a characteristic that will potentially increase its lifespan.
Increase Your Closet Space
Do you feel that you simply don’t have enough closet space? Even if your closet is a relatively small one, there’s still space inside it you’re not using.
You can rely on several clever hacks in order to make the most of the available closet.
Hanging a few bags on the inside of the closet door is a great choice for storing smaller items like scarves, accessories, hats and other things that don’t belong on the shelves.
You can also tuck a wicker basket underneath the rack. Choose the right size so that it doesn’t stand in the way of the hanging clothes. A basket is a great choice for dealing with closet clutter, especially if you cannot be bothered to put things back where you found them in the first place.
Optimize the Kitchen Space
The kitchen is the most functional part of the apartment, which is why it features numerous utensils, appliances and knick-knacks. If you cook and enjoy meals at home, chances are that the kitchen space isn’t enough.
Here are a few things you can try to optimize the kitchen space in 2019.
Once again, put vertical space to good use. Magnetic racks and spice jars are a great choice. They look beautiful, they’re incredibly practical and they take items off the countertop.
Narrow vertical cabinets that are custom-made for your kitchen will also be a wonderful opportunity for the utilization of space that’s not readily accessible. Such cabinets usually slide out and they can be used to store cooking oil, trays, cutting boards, baking pans and other things you want to get quick access to.
Space dividers inside the cabinets are inexpensive and a great choice for better organization and for the fitting of more items inside.
The most important thing to remember is that you shouldn’t opt for universal storage hacks. Instead, consider the specifics of your living space and the organization ideas that will make the most sense for you.
Experienced interior designers will help you understand your living space better and enhance its storage capacity.
Home Guide’s team has carried out multiple home interior design projects throughout Singapore. We understand the challenges that the owners of small flats deal with. We also work hard to offer each customer a tailor-made solution that’s specific to their case, budget and needs.
Don’t hesitate to contact us today in order to transform your living space in 2019. Just because your flat is small doesn’t mean you have to live in a cluttered environment. We have the knowledge and the skills to give you more space, order and cosiness.

Another car insurance Question.?
In the UK if you buy a car, it HAS to be insured, but at the moment for someone young to insure a car, i looked on a comparing site, i put myself as a main driver for a 1.2 litre fiesta and it was well past 4K, and insurance companies know they can charge that amount because without insurance it is illegal to drive. If i put myself on 3rd party insurance it either drops by less than 100 or goes up, ive read about this and apparently insurance companies think that if you get 3rd party insurance, you care less for your car so therefore they charge more. Now in the US things are alot better, if you pay car tax you automatically get 3rd party insurance, this is a great idea and i wouldn't mind knowing why they don't introduce it here in the UK, if not, surely the government or somebody will confront the insurance companies so that they can lower premiums, right?""

Different Car insurance rates for different cars?
Alright, I'm 18 and a freshman in college this year, and I commute there 20 minutes everyday to save money (room & board is around 15k). And the car I have now is not really reliable anymore. Its a 94 Cutlass Cierra, and within the last month the Heating Core, and the Alternator have both went, and I've had to sink 600 dollars into it. I'm looking at getting a new car next summer, and I have basically narrowed it down to two choices. An Eclipse (Mitsu) or Cougar (Mercuy). I know its going to cost more to have a sports car, but what I want to know, is how much the different prices for insurance would differ for these two cars. I was going to do one online, but I saw it needed a VIN, and I don't have the car yet. I'm thinking about asking my car insurance company for quotes, but I doubt they would do it. Does anyone know the prices to insure these two cars for a 19 year old. Or a link or any information would be appreciated.""

Can my car insurance rate go UP if they pay for the medical bills of the other person in the car accident?
Ok so I was involved in a car accident November 10,12, I was at fault because I hit the car in the back, the guy just literally stopped and obviously even if you are right about saying that the other driver stopped too fast for you to stop,when you hit a car in the back (most of the time) you are at fault of the accident.Either way, my insurance paid for his damage ($2,000 worth) and I took my ticket to court,there I only paid for court fees but no points. Today, June 02,13 (almost 7 months after the accident) I get a letter from a lawyer( lawyer of the guy I hit in the previous accident) saying he is asking for a $10,000 on medical expenses,it says I should send the letter to my insurance company as soon as possible,which I will do tomorrow but my thing is, I don't want my insurance rate to increase, it already increased after the accident (was $130, now $170) so I'm just asking, will the insurance company approve paying for his medical expenses even if he is self-employed as a driver of big trucks (I guess he also lift heavy furniture in order to work) and has diabetes ( he was ketotic at the time of the accident,the guy is in his 60s)?? And if the insurance approves paying ( guessing he has all the medical papers in order) will my rate increase too? Again?? I have full cover in my car, and it also includes medical bills. I had to pay $1000 of deductible in order to fix my and his car so pretty much I don't want to loose more money is just horrible I am 21,full time student with full time job! Yes,is possible to do both things but honestly I don't think this is fair anymore, the guy wanted to leave at first and not only that he is sick (diabetes) and he was very rude at first but then the police ask him if he was ok and he said yes so I don't understan this... :(.

Worries about insurance with a tracker?
Being a 19 year old male who lives in London, insurance was clearly going to be a problem. I have however found some decent quotes which include having a tracker fitted. Now, I don't mind it too much but I do have some worries: a) The location/address: on the quote, I provided a relative's address which is outside of London (the address is about 40 to 50 minutes away from my actual address). Consequently, the price was cut by about half! The worry I have is that if I have a tracker installed, won't it be obvious to the insurer that this isn't my real home address when they see me parking and basically using my actual address instead of the relatives'? I won't be anywhere near the relative's address b) Speed limits: I once read somewhere that '90%+ people go over the speed limit' and although I don't know how true this is, it's clear from driving that in some areas, going at 30 causes delays and its a bit daunting when you're at the limit but everyone else is just speeding past. How much would this change the insurance? c) Price: is the price of the quote they provide the limit? What I mean is if they see bad driving with the tracker, could it increase the quote or is there a limit? Thanks for any help :) P.S Happy new year!""

""Recently hit by another driver, got estimate for his insurance company. Not sure I should repair for that cost""
My car is a 1994 Lexus ES300 with 125,000+ miles on it. I would say it is in good or fair condition, the leather seats are cracking badly and it has a few scrathes, etc. I'm just wandering if it is in my best interest to repair this car or for it to be totaled out. The estimate for repairs in $3500.00, which could always go up once repairs start for unseen damage. I'm just not sure the car is worth repairing for that amount considering its condition. The damage is to the drivers side rear panel which is now rubbing something when I turn either way or go over any kind of bump in the road. The estimate does not consider repair for that since that could not be seen by looking at the vehicle. They are also saying the paint can't be matched perfectly because of the fading caused by sun and weather over the years. With everything considered my resale value is not good. I did want to sale this car at some point and get newer car.""

How much will my car insurance go up?
I accidently hit a parked car. No damage to my car. Damages to the other car add up to about $900. I have liability insurance with USAA and wont be paying a deductible. My driving record has been clean for 12 years. Should I just pay out of pocket or file the claim with insurance?? The person who owned the damaged car is a neighbor and said they won't file a claim if I pay them directly. I'm concerned.... if my insurance premiums go up 40% over 5 years then I'd just pay myself. I don't know.. I really can't decide.
Insuring a second vehicle?
My husband and I both have our own vehicles but have just purchased an old Land Rover for towing our trailer tent.

Arplis - News: 32 of the Best Moving Hacks We Could Find Across the Internet
What do a dentists chair and a desert island have in common? Theyre both preferable to the absolute chaos and agony of moving. Research shows that 6 out of 10 people rank moving as the most stressful life event. More stressful than a divorce, even! And no amount of coffee runs, to-do lists, or yoga breaks will 100% alleviate the pain of getting your stuff from points A to B.
However, there are ways to work smarter, not harder, over the course of a daunting move. Lots of people have survived this before. Some of them have even shared their lessons and secrets, like tricks to avoid a shampoo-related crisis or how to use household items as packing material (how kind of them!).
So we scoured different corners of the internet including chat boards, YouTube videos, and moving and organization blogs to bring you this amazing list of 33 moving hacks, or simple tricks and shortcuts, to make some of the challenging parts of your move a little easier.
1. Pad heavy boxes with toilet paper and paper towels at the top
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Ideally your boxes shouldnt exceed 50 pounds. But when youre moving, box space is precious, and you want to use up every inch before moving on to the next box to save on cardboard.
So instead of packing a large box filled to the brim with heavy items alone, put your books or gym weights or massive rock collection in the bottom half of the box, do a test lift to get a feel for how heavy it is, and once it starts to feel unmanageable, pad the top of the box with extra rolls of toilet paper or paper towels from the economy pack taking up space in your bathroom and pantry shelves.
Youll make the most of every box you have, and youll be happy when you dont need to designate a separate box for paper products. Plus, this arrangement protects the heavier box contents by cushioning them during the move. Just be sure to set aside some TP and paper towels for your first day box with essentials for your first 24 hours.

2. Shrinkwrap lightweight objects together

Use vacuum-sealable bags or industrial strength stretch wrap also known as movers wrap to pack light, bulky items. Shrinkwrap piles of pillows, blankets, and bedding into small manageable bundles which you can carry in a single trip.
Source: Reddit
3. Cover toiletry bottles with plastic wrap
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Unscrew the lid of toiletries and other liquids, cover the opening with plastic wrap, then reattach the lid. This keeps liquids from breaking open or slowly leaking all over items during the move.

4. Pack your toaster in a bag to catch crumbs
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Put the toaster in a bag before packing it with the kitchen appliances. This will keep crumbs from making a mess in the box.

5. Pack dishes sideways so theyre less likely to break
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Pack plates vertically, like a record collection, to evenly distribute pressure across the box and make it less likely that the dishes will break in the move. Line the box with bubble wrap, then wrap each individual plate with packing paper, laying a foam sheet between each plate in the box.

6. Keep necklaces from tangling using a toilet paper roll

String necklaces through an empty toilet paper roll before packing them to keep tangles at bay during the move.

7. Use coffee filters to cushion bowls and cups
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Coffee filters are inexpensive, easy to find, and likely already take up real estate in your cupboard. Use a few filters as padding between each stacked bowl and cup to avoid breaks and cracks during transport.
Source: Millennial Moms
8. Label the tops and sides of boxes to make them easy to identify
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Labeling the tops and sides of each box or container makes it easier to identify them throughout the move. Movers wont have to twist the box to the side to see a label on the side or pull it out of a stack to find a top label.
Source: I Heart Planners
9. Use pool noodles to protect picture frame corners
youtube
Cut spare pool noodles or foam pipe insulation down their sides and slide them on the exterior frames of mirrors or pictures. The extra padding keeps frames from banging together and cracking or shattering while in the moving van.

10. Tape an X across mirrors to prevent them from shattering
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Tape an X across a glass surface to strengthen it and absorb shock. Use masking, painters, or washi tape for easy removal.

11. Use binder clips to guard razor blades
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
If your razors protective travel cover is long gone, use a binder clip over the blade to prevent accidental nicks and cuts during the move.
12. Remove toner and ink cartridges from the printer
(Source: Emma Diehl)
Take the toner and ink cartridges out of your home printer and pack them in their own plastic bags. In the event they burst, break, or leak during the move, they wont damage any other home office supplies.

13. Buy boxes online to save money
Source: (My Life Graphic/ Shutterstock)
You can find free boxes on Craigslist in the free section under For Sale or from the produce manager at grocery stores, but if youre looking for high-quality moving boxes, you can save money by purchasing them online. Sites like uboxes.com are an average 20% cheaper than office stores or moving companies.

14. Cut handles into boxes to make lifting easier

Transform regular boxes into easy-to-carry banker boxes: simply cut handles into the cardboard using an X-ACTO knife. Just be sure not to cut too close to the top to avoid rips.
Source: Houselogic
15. Use IKEAs industrial shopping bags for last minute knick knacks
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
IKEAs recognizable FRAKTA bags can hold up to 55 pounds, and cost under $2 each. Use them to move large quantities of dry food from the pantry, or last-minute knick-knacks that didnt find a home in a box. The bags reinforced straps make them easy to fill and carry.
Source. Dolly
16. Protect your floors with furniture sliders
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Put furniture sliders under any heavy or bulky items in your home to easily move large items across carpets, rugs, linoleum, wood, and tile floors. Sliders keep you from scuffing up the floor during a move and make it easier to push items around. Use them in the new home as well while you figure out where furniture fits in each room.
Source: Apartment Therapy
17. Use packing tape for hassle-free box assembly
youtube
Paper packaging tape is great for building and sealing boxes. Its easy to find the edge of the strip on paper tape, and you can tear it without the need for metal teeth tools. Its self-sticking, but it lifts off surfaces, too. You dont have to worry about ripping the boxes to shreds when you inevitably open and reopen them for repacking (like you might with plastic packing tape).
Source: Soothing Sista
18. Pack your toolbox last, and make it the first thing you unload
Source: (Charles MD/ Shutterstock)
Moving truck logic goes as follows: the last thing out of the van is the first thing youll unpack. Make your toolbox the last item to go into the truck, and the first to come out. Chances are, youll need it for assembly or other moving needs.
Source: Complex
19. Throw towels in the washer before you move it
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
Before loading the washing machine into the moving truck, stuff towels inside it. This will keep the tub from rotating in transit so it stays balanced all the way to its new destination.
Source: JDM Packing Supplies
20. Dont forget about Moms Attic for your fragile items
(Source: Moving Insider)
U-Hauls and other popular moving trucks feature a small storage space above the driving cabin, called Moms Attic. Use this space to store boxes of fragile items like glassware, antiques, and electronics. This space above the cabin has the smoothest ride in the van.
Source: Moving Insider
21. Use the I formation
Source: (Penske Truck Rental)
Theres a right way and a wrong way to load a moving truck. The I formation, when properly executed, forms an uppercase I in the trucks cabin. That means:
Heavy objects, including appliances, are at the top of the formation
Desks, tables, and heavy boxes take up the middle portion
Mattresses and box springs are outside the formation, to the left of the middle column
Sofas and couches occupy the right side of the truck, outside the formation
Additional heavy boxes go in the back center of the truck, a bottom part of the I formation
Small boxes flank either side of the heavy boxes on the bottom of the I to complete the shape
Source: Penske Truck Rental
22. Sandwich your mattress with fitted sheets
(Source: Radoslav Bali / Unsplash)
You dont need an expensive mattress protector to keep your bed clean during the move. Protect it with a pair of old fitted sheets covering the top and bottom.
Source: Bed, Bath, and Beyond
23. Follow the 20% rule to calculate truck travel time
Source (re-sized): (Marco Verch Professional Photographer and Speaker/ Flickr via Creative Commons Legal Code)
Using professional movers, you can expect pricing to start at $1,000, but renting a van on your own, youre only on the hook for the daily rental cost ($20 to $30/day) and the mileage fee. But dont underestimate travel time! In the truck, youll typically drive slower, so tack an additional 20% onto your travel time.
If youve never traveled this route before, use this formula:
Total miles / Maximum Speed Limit + 20% = Estimated Travel Time
Source: Sparefoot
24. Carry more with the Camel Clutch
youtube
(Image Source: Moving Connections)
Use the camel clutch when carrying loads from the moving truck to the home. Instead of holding the items in front of you, youll carry them on your back, with your arms behind you. This carry puts less pressure on your back.
Source: Moving Connections
25. Avoid a lockout with rubber bands
Source: (Kristen Lewis/ HomeLight)
On move-in day, cover the tongue of any doors that youll be opening and closing frequently with a criss-crossed rubber band or hair elastic. That way, you can open the door hands-free without letting in the heat, cold, or any unwanted critters!
Source: Updater
26. Make plans for doggy daycare
Source: (Matthew Henry/ Unsplash)
Anxious animals have a way of getting underfoot during the move, making it both harder to move heavy objects around the home. If you can, have pets stay with friends or family the day of the move-in.
Source: Moving.com
27. Tip your movers or offer them refreshments
Source: (Sharon McCutcheon/ Unsplash)
Moving is expensive, but that doesnt mean youre off the hook for tipping. Seventy-one percent of movers tip their moving help (39% of these tippers give at least 10% of the moving costs).
At the very least, offer your moving pros some refreshments, especially after they move something heavy like a bulky platform bed frame.
Source: Apartment Guide
28. Never lose track of your cleaning supplies
Source (re-sized): (Nick Youngson/ Picpedia via Creative Commons Legal Code)
Each room should be pristine before moving things in, and the cleaning caddy should be one of the first things out of the van. Use HomeLights exhaustive deep-clean checklist as a guide.
Source: Your Modern Family
29. Hang art at the proper height
Source: (Splendid Actually)
Follow these guidelines to prevent a crooked art conundrum: Hang art at eye level in the home 56 to 60 inches above ground. Multiple frames should be clustered together, with the center of the cluster 56 inches up from the floor. When hanging a frame above furniture, there should be between 4 and 8 inches between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame.
Source: Splendid Actually
30. Put down doormats, or insist that everyone wear booties
Source: (Hombre/ Unsplash)
Dont damage the floors of a new home before you get the chance to enjoy them. Put down doormats at each entrance when the move-in begins. If the weathers particularly messy, such as rain or snow, use disposable booties in the home to protect flooring.
Source: My Moving Reviews
31. Create a home base for your cat during move-in
Source: (Sun De_An/ Unsplash)
Cats under stress during a move can wreak havoc in a home by tearing up carpet and ruining rugs. Create a space away from the main area in your new home for the cat to feel comfortable during the move. Include favorite toys, beds, food, and fresh water to help your pet feel at ease.
Source: iheartcats
32. Save floors (and your back) with a rubber wheeled dolly
Source (re-sized): (HireAHelper/ Flickr via Creative Commons Legal Code)
Lugging in heavy box after box during your move in is bound to put a strain on your back, and dragging them will damage the floor with scrapes and dents. Save time, and protect the finish of your floors, with a rubber-wheeled dolly. Daily rental is just $20, and youll be able to truck three to four boxes into the house in the time it takes to carry one.
Source: Easy Movers
Now its time to build some boxes, and practice lifting from your knees!
