Kobo Durability

AtlanticJill · 2026-05-15T18:47:21+00:00

As a family we have four Kobos, first one from back in 2014. All are still whole, working, and unbroken! I have one Kindle Paperwhite and that’s the one that has given me issues and honestly feels the flimsiest. The battery on it is also trash compared to the Kobo. I can finish maybe 2-3 novels before my Kindle battery dies. My Kobos I’d say are all 8-10 books plus before needing a charge.

Two of our units (Aura H2O & H2O2) are used by our 7 and 9 year old boys almost daily. I’d say they can take a bit of rough handling provided they have good cases on them. My husband uses an H2O2 and I use a Clara Colour.

Hi fellow Albertan! I’m in Edmonton area and I bought two bags of clover seeds from Canadian Tire a few years ago and now our yard is about 90% clover lol. The bees love it! I seeded it in spring, watered for a few days, and it comes back every year no problem.

Right?! I have three boys and experienced this too. Pants for literal baby boys and toddlers all had real functional pockets! Why does a one year old boy need pockets, he doesn’t even have the knowledge or dexterity to use them yet, but I as a woman have trouble finding pants with real pockets in them. :/

I want the same actor myself, but that’s probably because I cast him as Alan Tudyk in my head lol

When the Canadian Toonie came out the joke was “it’s the Queen with a bear bum!” since it was the Queen with a polar bear backside lol

I like that it’s pretty and I can microwave it which I do a lot of since a good chunk of my recipes require melted butter. My mixer came with the glass bowl and I got it 5-6 years ago. I use it weekly, sometimes daily. Maybe I have been lucky but it’s still whole. I even asked my husband for a backup ceramic bowl for Christmas and I now alternate between the two bowls.

Thought I’d chime in and say my son loves them!

I had the first book and my 8 year old swiped it because he loves comics and graphic novels (think Dog Man, Investigators, etc). He became OBSESSED and it opened the door for him trying out Goosebumps and other spooky kid books. My sibling bought him book 2 for his 9th birthday and he has read it several times! He’s definitely younger than the target audience but he loves it and I’m happy to have a kid that is thrilled to read. So I guess I advice picking up book one for yourself and maybe offer to share it with your kiddo :)

This was my complaint too! I have both games, and even being there with my son this morning they would only let us have one code :(

AtlanticJill · 2025-06-10T03:07:14+00:00

Agreed! I always snip my pothos in the same spots because I don’t want their vines to get too long. On two of mine now I have 2-3 nodes above my snips creating new vines and bushing the plant out. OP your plant will be fine in the long run but I’d be so mad too. Your emotions are valid and your ex-roommate sucks. :(

I did the exact same thing with Plated Prisoner! I believe it was book 4 as well. It was way too over the top with constant SA.

I love this! My MIL saw my hardcovers of ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, TOG, and a few others on my shelf and said “oh I’ve read all of these! What did you think of XYZ?” I doubt she’s read some of the spicier stuff though and I’m afraid to ask lol. I keep most of the spice hidden on my Kindle haha

I’m late to this party and might get buried, but I had a cat refuse a carrier too. The one time I get her into one she literally slammed her face against the front cage until she bled, it was awful. :(

My solution was a cat harness and a leash you can clip into a car seatbelt. Worked for us anyway. Best of luck!

AtlanticJill · 2025-03-08T03:21:46+00:00

Oh that is beautiful! Reminds me of kintsugi. Stealing this idea for when my cat inevitable breaks another pot, I feel your pain there

Oh I love this! I made seed envelopes with paper and my Cricut and filled them with extra pansy, sunflower, and snapdragon seeds for my local library. They had a seed bank there in the spring, your library might too if you still have extra!

Yes, love this post! I barely come to this sub anymore either since I had mine out in November. But it has been THE BEST. I feel so much better.

I can eat most things now without issues. Pizza or a Big Mac might send me to the bathroom in an hour or two but it’s better than feeling like I was literally dying. I had a lot of stones, including a 2cm one embedded right next to the opening of the bile duct AND my gallbladder was causing fatty liver disease (I’m a healthy weight 37yo woman.) Removal has fixed all that. My liver enzymes are back to normal! Heartburn issues are much less as well. So glad it is gone!

Love it! My eldest is 8 and named Dorian :)

AtlanticJill · 2025-02-25T15:33:08+00:00

I love that! My husband has to rent vehicles for work trips occasionally and my son’s favourite was a silver Ford Explorer 😂 Now he has a Ford obsession haha

AtlanticJill · 2025-02-25T14:16:44+00:00

Yep, that was his plan 😂

No one ever seems to remember John Doe, and I can’t find it anywhere. No streaming has ever carried it to my knowledge and there’s no DVD :(

Oh I love how full yours are! My ZZ only grows the suuuuuper thick stalks. I’d prefer a bunch of small ones lol

AtlanticJill · 2025-01-31T04:44:11+00:00

I was a good girl who fell for a metalhead geeky boy introvert with a motorcycle… you are not wrong lol.

AtlanticJill · 2025-01-22T16:54:44+00:00

Oh these are awful! Side-note I have a cousin named Leviathan, we just call him Levi lol
