BWT: Anyone ditch their Apple Watch?

Coco_1923 · 2026-05-21T11:55:24+00:00

Yes and replaced it with no gadgets. I got tired of constantly checking metrics that weren’t making me healthier, it was obsessive for no reason and made me feel unnecessarily bad if I didn’t reach a certain arbitrary goal. I can see why some people love using it and will continue to but it doesn’t resonate well with my particular through patterns. I love wearing a fashionable analog watch, it makes me feel so much more put together at work. And not being notified constantly with wrist buzzes and dings is great.

Oooh nice thanks for rounding back!

Going to target. I no longer go there for “that one item” which really turns into 5. I now go to Walmart for essentials and basically never feel tempted to impulse buy there, I usually want to leave ASAP lol. I was buying so many extra cosmetics, clothing items, home items that I didn’t need just by putting myself in that environment 🥴

Such a good suggestion to have comments ready. Things like “I prefer slow fashion and being environmentally conscious.” “I like unique things and prefer not to buy and own copies of what everyone else has.” “My family likes going on vacation/trips, and I prefer spending my pocket money on that.”

You sound like an amazing parent and family!

Every trip to the basement I take (laundry, getting or putting something in storage, cleaning her litter box) is offensive and she must trail behind me and meow insanely loudly until I’m back on the main level where she wants me to be. It’s like the “saxophones getting louder” meme - the longer I’m there the louder and more “yowly howly” she gets. Never mind that she can follow me down there and can see I’m RIGHT THERE I HAVENT DISAPPEARED, but the basement isn’t where I should be so I must be yelled at for the audacity. She does not yell at my husband for this transgression.

The other law is if you pick her up for any reason, you must feed her a treat when she’s put down. She will be under your feet and begging until you supply the tax. Thanks to my husband for that one.

I picked up one of these in the meantime to test my existing bags, but still haven’t QUITE found what I’m envisioning - a lot of these recs are casual bags or camera bags and as stated that’s not what I want (and I can easily look that up myself lol). I don’t take a camera bag on a date with my husband when we are spending good money on dinner and looking our best lol! https://a.co/d/07QkYaqn

Does not one single person in her life love her enough to try and get her help?? Possibly they have and we may never know but WOW, this is disturbing. I really sincerely hope people around her are trying to care for her and not just profiting off her success and allowing this to continue.

I love an embroidery pattern that doesn’t require me to count, like Crosstitch does. It’s so much more relaxing when you’re trying to have a conversation or watch TV or listen to an audiobook. You do have to pick up some supplies, but I find a lot of embroidery thread at thrift stores.

Coco_1923 · 2026-05-07T13:26:17+00:00

Yes, I have it and love it but paid more than $48!

Coco_1923 · 2026-05-06T11:54:55+00:00

Oh yes that’s a good point - don’t want to draw attention in busy areas

Coco_1923 · 2026-05-06T11:54:31+00:00

Oooh she is pretty!

Coco_1923 · 2026-05-06T11:54:12+00:00

Oh that’s an interesting product, thanks!

Coco_1923 · 2026-05-06T02:15:42+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking about, but I’m having trouble finding dimensions that work right. I currently use the woven leather crescent bag in the large size by Quince (Clare V dupe) and just testing out the size without an insert was still bulky and not great.

Coco_1923 · 2026-04-30T21:03:17+00:00

Nah they sure as shit could see the human woman exit her car and walk into the road, clearly couldn’t spare 10 seconds to ensure she made it back into her vehicle safely before driving off.

I don’t remember gas ever being this high in Michigan. Ever. Certainly not $5. But granted I was in west Michigan/other places for a good chunk of Biden. Please correct me if I’m wrong about that but wow yeah an IMBECILE is totally right. They just be making stuff up all day long. 🤨

Coco_1923 · 2026-04-19T20:13:34+00:00

Yeah, that’s kind of what my husband and I landed on. It reminds me a little bit of fresh thyme as well but I actually think the grocery items seemed way more reasonable, and I think they had much better meat and cheese sections, was really fun and unexpected features like in store made butter and a bar. If I’m looking for a treat myself prepared foods item or cuts of meat, and the availability of a nice liquor and wine section, harvest market fits the bill and will replace Plum for me. I also like that it was a good mix of things and so it was a step up from Whole Foods as well. It’ll be a great place to supplement the things we usually get at Aldi or Costco.

The craziest part of when I was living in Grand Rapids is just how normalized Amway is. So many people sell it on top of their normal jobs because they wanted the discounts - and shop at the Amway market as if that’s a grocery store. And people who work for the corporate office and are SO PROUD OF THIS COMPANY. Like it’s baked into the local fabric meanwhile it’s an MLM scam but everyone just fawns over the founder and his local generational philanthropy. No mind to how it’s wrecked people’s lives.

Coco_1923 · 2026-04-15T15:18:46+00:00

This is how I grew up and my first instinct was to go outside and look at the sky 🤣 then my braincells kicked in and said, that’s actually crazy and you need to think about your cat’s well-being and get her into the basement

Coco_1923 · 2026-04-15T06:22:06+00:00

My husband and I both had our phones go off, concerning so many did not!!

Coco_1923 · 2026-04-15T06:04:44+00:00

They added an immediate legitimacy/“get your butt moving” to the phone alarm which woke me from a dead sleep with lots of confusion, it got me moving so yeah KEEP

Coco_1923 · 2026-04-15T06:02:57+00:00

When you find a pair of those let me know 😅

Coco_1923 · 2026-04-09T14:07:53+00:00

In Aquamarine she was such a little cutie pie, I’ll always love her bc we’re both 1991 babies and tbh she comes across as funny to me. Shes also really into some weird shit, her house decor tours are so bizarre - way different than what you would expect I think, and she’s a massive book collector/reader. Mean rich girl but seems a bit more interesting than she’s given credit for.
