Reply to comment by Important-Aside-507 in LPT - Before a dentist appointment, stretch your jaw wide open to make it a much more comfortable experience. by Razoire

I don't think this tip is for muscle building/stretching but for loosening and quick-prepping the tendons and muscles you already have for an appointment that takes one to two hours, thrice or four times a year.

Making stretching a daily habit for a possible dental appointment is probably a bit of an exaggeration.

Reply to LPT Request: What are some ways you’ve found that makes cleaning showers/baths the easiest? by Accomplished-Cress72

Fill a 16 oz spray bottle with a mixture of 1/4 cup of Blue Dawn, 1 cup of vinegar and if you want a fresh smell a few drops of orange or some other essential oil. Then fill the rest with water. Swirl around and spray the shower. Walk away. In half an hour or so take a big sponge, like a car sponge, wet it, wipe it down and rinse. I usually take my shoes off and get in. Takes a few minutes if you do this once a week.

Two additional tips - use liquid soap when you bathe. There will be much much less soap scum to deal with than with bar soap. And buy a shower curtain like the hotels use with the snap in nylon liner. When you wash your towels snap off the liner and wash it. It will always smell fresh and no mildew will accumulate.

Reply to comment by Jimmirehman in LPT: If the company you work for offers sick pay, now is the time to use it... or lose it by Toxic_N_Wasted

All mid calendar year IIRC. That said, I should correct my statement. PTO accrual was not tied to the fiscal year. You accumulate a set amount each pay period. There are 10 or so fixed holidays each year, but other time off accrues and can be used for personal or sick time. You're allowed to run a negative balance if sick.
