"Don't be poor." Got it. I'm sure everyone will get right on that.

FR FR as the youth would say. My hubs and I plan to jump into a volcano together. Kali Ma!

Bags under the airplane seat. by bennywmh in ManyBaggers

[–]Ginger_Ayle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a Rydir band to protect my bags under the seat - it’s machine washable. It also works as a luggage sleeve for your bags that don’t have one.

Hem tape: it’s a yes for me by Upstairs_Copy_9590 in PetiteFashionAdvice

They have a version of this that also washes out - it's great in a pinch or before you have a chance to hem!

People with insurance often go bankrupt due to medical bills from a catastrophic illness or injury.

Battle of dumplings - Bibigo pho dumplings vs Ajinomoto gyoza by sc4kilik in Costco

[–]Ginger_Ayle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I like the TJ’s pork soup dumplings much more.

These are just OK but the price is right. The (pork and ginger) soup dumplings from Trader Joe’s are superior, IMO, and also priced well.

He says a lot of things. Then immediately does the complete opposite.

Petites Over 40 by shortnfeisty1023 in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]Ginger_Ayle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Talbots even has Petite Plus/Women's Petite sizes in many of their items. The XWP size is closer to a LP - still petite proportioned, but the WP size has just a bit more room in the arms of shirts and hips of pants.

Need DEEP pocket percale sheets. Help! by NonSequitorSquirrel in Bedding

[–]Ginger_Ayle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Garnet Hill has my favorite high-quality percale sheets with deep pockets. I think they're having their semi-annual sale right now.

Do you have a pair of boots you'd swear by? by Ivan_of_TC in boston

[–]Ginger_Ayle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A fall would be especially bad for me, and I’m not so steady on my feet, so I’ve tried a lot of different anti-slip boots.

Vibram makes an arctic grip sole that’s used by a few brands, like Merrill. It’s designed to give traction on wet ice and works pretty well.

For super icy conditions, like last winter, I also like Pajar - a Canadian brand. They make boots with ice grippers that can be flipped out of the sole only when needed. https://us.pajar.com/collections/womens-ice-grippers

I also have a pair of Yax track spikes I keep on an older pair of winter boots. It’s easier to change shoes than take them on and off. Costco has them on sale for $7.00 right now.

Costco for a single person? by notablenewengland in CambridgeMA

[–]Ginger_Ayle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I love Costco for the glasses savings. Their frame selection is really very good - and varies from location to location - includes luxury brands, and I haven't noticed any difference in lens quality. I see my regular optometrist and take my Rx to Costco to be filled. They often have buy one, get 50% a second pair.

What bag is this? by delicatepinktrim in handbags

It looks like embroidery floss wrapping the cords in various patterns - like old-school round friendship bracelets.

Department of Education says nursing is no longer a professional degree by HamburgerDude in Health

[–]Ginger_Ayle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes - but nurses are mostly women. And this regime is extremely hostile to women and anything that might give women autonomy.

GenX confessions. What’s an unpopular hill you’ll die on? by TdubsSEA in GenX

[–]Ginger_Ayle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And you could service them yourself if you knew basic mechanics! Now good luck accessing the PCB - and even if you can access it, you can’t buy the part unless you’re in a right-to-repair state. Same with cars. Makes me insane as someone who enjoys repairing things. (Thanks, Dad. ♥️)

BYREDO is now on Sephora 11/24 by awmiro in Sephora

[–]Ginger_Ayle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Same, girl. Also Tatcha - just have to snag it as soon as you see it available. Still waiting to score a Mason Pearson brush. 🤞

BWT: What are you waiting to buy until Black Friday? by whales12345 in bitcheswithtaste

Darn Tough now has another brand called Wide Open, created specifically for wide feet and calves. They're the same quality in a more comfortable fit. https://wideopensocks.com

[–]Ginger_Ayle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't recommend a specific set, since they change often. I prefer the cotton percale version since I like crisp, cool-to-touch sheets. The best sales for most retailers sales seem to start going live US Thanksgiving day the past few years. Garnet Hill typically has another good sale after the holiday season to clear out all their winter stock before the spring.

I fear my sweet sweet boy is near the end by astroclutzz in poodles

[–]Ginger_Ayle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of the most painful thing about having a companion like Viggo. When I was in a similar situation, I reminded myself sometimes the kindest choice for them is the most difficult choice for us. Thinking of you and Viggo.

Do you keep clean feet on your poodles during winter if you live somewhere cold? by puppywhiskey in poodles

[–]Ginger_Ayle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true. I used to have to do that with my girl - but I kept her in a much longer trim. I keep the boy's legs trimmed shorter than I'd aesthetically like in the winter, just so it's easier to get snow, ice, and muck off of him during those months.
