This might be a long shot, but did anyone happen to pick up a green rain jacket dropped on the ground on Sunday morning 8/16? It would have been on the 11th floor, or 2nd floor of phase 2 by the elevators or the 2nd floor of the phase 2 parking garage. I thought I’d loaded it into the car with the rest of the load but I can’t find it there or my apartment.

We’ve had repeated issues in our kitchen sink, living on an upper level. I stopped using the garbage disposal entirely, and that seemed to fix things. I don’t trust the garbage disposals!

Hi everyone! Every couple of weeks, our washer starts to stink. I’ve tried everything — vinegar, cleaning tablets, washing on the hot cycle — but nothing helps. We also recently got the whole drum replaced but we still have the issue. I’m at my wit’s end šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« Has anyone experienced this and found a good solution?!? Willing to try anything at this point
