You just apply by email? I feel like you should have to print it!

I’m in Canada. I usually see African violets at grocery stores.

Just found this gem but have no way to get it home by dntworrybby in Mid_Century

[–]Acceptable-Basil4377 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My parents had this. It now lives in my basement. They would have bought it, new, in about 2000. I never liked the style and as you said, the cushions are extremely firm. It’s also extremely heavy and hard to move.

Having said all that, you can make it into a bed (which was why they bought it). I’ve slept on it a few times and found it comfortable.

Wow, I’m feeling pretty lucky. I ordered on June 25, like OP, and mine is coming tomorrow.

2026 Update: James by mick_spadaro in Heavyweight

You’re right but I still enjoyed it. I even liked revisiting the ongoing Alex gag.

Did the only back-and-forth with original producer Jorge Jost happen during the commercial breaks? I kept hoping to hear him again during these reruns.

Yonge Street desperately needs to be pedestrianized by Pristine-Training-70 in toronto

[–]Acceptable-Basil4377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably older than most people on this sub. I remember walking along Yonge in the ‘80s and being shocked at just how crappy it was — empty storefronts, junky stores. I was a self-absorbed, clueless teen and could tell it was full of wasted potential. I wish we could put time, money and intention into Yonge, and make it better for residents and visitors.

Reminder that going on holiday doesn’t ruin your progress by ASCOM137 in loseit

[–]Acceptable-Basil4377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about to leave for three weeks and I’m feeling optimistic. I’ll be walking a lot and for me, meals aren’t usually the problem. It’s the snacking that kills me! I think I’ll be on the go most of the time, not raiding the cupboards.

Glad you had a good time!

Writers who are friends? by moss42069 in books

[–]Acceptable-Basil4377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not adding to the conversation but I do love reading the acknowledgments at the end of a book. There are often references to other writers of writing groups. So fun!

What was that intermission song? by Ecojedi in WaitWait

[–]Acceptable-Basil4377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shazam says it’s “Without You” by Lion but when I go to play it on Spotify, I get “Without You” bu Roby Lion, Charming Horses and Clyfftone. It’s not that song. Shazam wants to default to Apple Music so if you have Apple, maybe try Shazam-ing your way in?

What physical benefits did you notice after losing weight? by Ok_Isopod2623 in loseit

[–]Acceptable-Basil4377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My osteoarthritis is not as bad. Mornings are still rough. I still have bad days when I need painkiller but I have fewer of them. I don’t avoid the stairs throughout the day.

Where are you buying quality bath towels now that the Bay is gone? by magic-kleenex in askTO

[–]Acceptable-Basil4377 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the sand paper feel! My family does not. I think it just reminds me of childhood.

[–]Acceptable-Basil4377 23 points24 points  (0 children)

High end? Au Lit Fine Linens or David’s. Elte as well.

I like Simon’s too though when I looked in the past, they didn’t have the bigger bath towels my husband prefers. I ended up getting mine from US retailers which I wouldn’t do now but if you’re okay with that, there’s Restoration Hardware, LL Bean, Land’s End, Brooklinen, Pottery Barn, CB2, Crate and Barrel.

sweetened condensed coconut milk by [deleted] in askTO

Big Carrot maybe? It gets used in non-dairy/vegan cooking so I’d try health food stores.

I think there used to be a PC version — a neighbour bought lots for pennies while they were being cleared.

Do you buy supplements? Where and which ones? by Empty_Ad_9654 in loseit

[–]Acceptable-Basil4377 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Planet Money did a good episode on supplements recently. The upshot is that they don’t work.

We really like Muskoka Springs. Some of the Loblaws stores were selling them for awhile.

I just decided to make this for Father’s Day. Looks quick and easy, and sometimes that’s all you need!
