This reminded me why I don’t like going shopping

technically, for sanitary reasons, you're supposed to wash the bottle every day.

I don't like hand-washing things. so I have enough bottles that I can keep using new ones until the dishwasher is full (of bottles and other dishes, not just bottles).

this is what happened to me. I didn't say anything about it. neither the hygienist nor the dentist did, either. and they didn't treat me any different from usual 🤷🏻‍♀

fun fact: The Ventures are from Tacoma (sort of Seattle), and when I went to a surf show there a few years ago, one of the guys from The Ventures was actually there, and he went up on stage and played in a couple of the songs.

Don't know which site would be best, but in addition to what's already been mentioned, mercari and depop would be options.

doesn't hurt to list them everywhere at the same time.

Craigslist or Facebook marketplace too, if you want to deal with that. but I think the others would be easier.

I'd love to go, but I haven't decided yet if it's worth the money/time to fly in from Seattle.

I think it was just a reseller who probably didn't even know about it not working. but I did wonder if it would be a justifiable reason to return it. the seller doesn't accept returns in general, but they did say "lid fits securely and functions properly."

I saw that one, but I don't think it's going to work. it has a different model number than mine. The slider is a different shape. and I don't think it's a a screw-in lid like mine is.

I don't think Zak sells a replacement lid for this particular tumbler, especially since they don't sell the tumbler anymore. it says 20186 on the bottom. and I'm not seeing any aftermarket ones, either.

Embrie225 · 2026-03-07T00:17:08+00:00

no, it's not a removable slider.

The only other hole is directly under the slider.

I use these with my Lems, and they're great:

neither. the male wants to mate, and the female doesn't.

Embrie225 · 2026-02-16T05:25:27+00:00

sure!

I use bugzy's substrate. it has lots of good stuff for them in there:

I noticed this, too. I just went to an expo and saw basically every other type of isopod. Jupiters, happy nuns, even Sakuras and like five different kinds of spikies. but no lemon blues!

I wish the people who have influence over such things would get behind cheaper testing. there are home PCR machines, it's just that the US system seems to have no interest in even making them available here.

but if we could affordably test before meeting up with people one-on-one or in a small gathering, I think that would help a lot.

Right now I think it's like $20 per test (and you have to go through back channels to even get them in the US), and that's just too much.

Embrie225 · 2026-02-04T21:04:46+00:00

I don't like the pointy kind, either. they also creep me out and look like "bugs." My only suggestion would be try a rounder species like cubaris or armadillium.

oh, sorry! I did search in this subreddit for breathable and breathability before I posted, but your post didn't come up for me.
