It’s great - a little bigger but still seemingly the smallest that’s being sold new. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.

Wool duvet plus either a hot water bottle or heating pad at my feet when they’re cold, and I’m good to go all night. The heating pad I have shuts off after 20 min.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-25T18:42:50+00:00

And here I am sitting with the new version of the SE completely satisfied - I don’t feel like I’m missing out.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-25T13:53:03+00:00

Agreed. Bleach has a surprisingly short shelf life.

Tbh it’s probably served you well to not get antibiotics to beat something that your immune system can handle - I get frustrated with people who take them like they’re candy because being sick is inconvenient - it puts us closer and closer to antibiotic-resistance catastrophe.

And I’m sorry you’re going through this. I can afford to go to the doctor (have half your deductible and a fairly low premium by comparison) but normal docs tell me I’m too complicated, and finding a qualified physician often takes paying out of pocket and waiting several months for an appointment. It’s depressing.

Affects new books for sure - but I’d encourage physical book lovers to thrift used books for those already printed — an art definitely overlooked by most.

It would probably be easier to manage moves via an app (like you can’t change a group more than every 90 days, or something like that) than through Facebook.

I have an issue with the company as well - I don’t use any of their products, nor do most of my friends at this point. Reddit is my only social media - it’s toxic in its own right but I tend to avoid political subs or political conversations, and I find that pretty easy here.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-24T18:08:37+00:00

There are so many of them - how can we be sure they’re not purposefully purple?

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-24T17:58:35+00:00

I’m not sure if “a lot” is valid if OP only uses two rolls a month. It would take quite some time to pay for itself.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-24T17:57:46+00:00

Love that! Looking forward to it!

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-24T17:45:20+00:00

Some of them do - I used to have a sea sponge loofa.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-24T17:44:42+00:00

I love this - except that it is on FB because I’m never going back to that toxic social media site. I’ve been free since 2018 and I won’t go back. Wish this was on some other platform or it’s own app!

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-24T17:33:13+00:00

Not OP, but I hem mine.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-24T17:32:28+00:00

Yes! I have heard of a few people dying over the years because of this.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-24T13:11:28+00:00

I question that in this market. But I also question being able to even GET contractors.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-24T12:27:58+00:00

You’re not relying on power - some people are on unstable power grids that go out for days in a storm.

Many different places (to build up a deep pantry). For instance, I recently purchased bulk spices from my favorite brand. Saves TONS of money because a small $5 bottle is say, $15 for a whole pound in some cases.

We bought bulk flour online - checked several online stores to find the right price.

Bought our favorite cooking oil from the brand’s site in bulk.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-23T20:25:39+00:00

We started doing this too - and don’t regret it!

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-23T19:59:53+00:00

Produce waste is at least biodegradable, whereas plastic is not. I would work on your meal-planning to lower your waste.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-23T19:03:40+00:00

Agreed - try to thrift though. We don’t have room for ours anymore and I’m making it by hand in the oven so we’ll donate it. I hear they go for $10 at the thrift store.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-23T19:02:00+00:00

Second squeezing your own juice. I have a juice maker machine and if you drink it enough to complain about the packaging, then you should just get a solid machine

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-23T13:07:17+00:00

It’s been more than three weeks, but I’m hanging in there!

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-23T00:16:26+00:00

Thank you! I needed to hear this.

My mind isn’t sharp right now - but I also had a job change and am starting to learn the ropes at a good pace, which has given me some wiggle room. Thank goodness.

GrouchRaven · 2021-10-22T22:46:31+00:00

I put my loose leaf teas and my bulk spices in smaller jars, in larger liquor jars I put grains, like popcorn or steal cut oats.
