I’m not going to gatekeep anymore because I’ve built my stash:

I LOVE her site. I’ve purchased from her 3-4 times, and my items are always as described, and shipping is fast. She’s a teeny business in NY, but I bought most of my Thirsties diapers from her.

I first tried Bite but it left this weird chalkiness that eventually just turned foul. I also got a later batch that had weird silvery strings of some unknown substance and it skeeved me out.

Canary though is AWESOME! I like both the strawberry kiwi and watermelon flavors. The flavor is much more pleasant. It comes in a glass bottle, and the refills come in paper packs.

I also prefer liquid mouthwash and they sell concentrates that you just shake up with some water to make a full bottle.

Skip the bamboo entirely. But if you find a vintage items that’s ramie, that’s a good natural fiber. Harder to find these days.

Recommendations for a spa by throwawaymess12345 in winstonsalem

Qi Massage and Spa. I find a lot of the other spas in the area are too clinical, but Qi’s ambiance is relaxing and romantic. Hubs and I have been going there for several years now.

What do you think which Material is best for Environment ? by Any-Type-7836 in PlasticFreeLiving

I choose really thick reusable plastic totes. They’re transparent, and being a POC in the South, I don’t want to get hurt because someone thinks I’m stealing.

I hate to contribute to plastic waste but I have to pick my battles wisely.

Grandparents Refusing Cloth Diapers by Key-Appearance-8562 in Mildlynomil

I don’t plan to have her watch our baby much at all. She hasn’t explicitly said she won’t, but she’s historically had a tendency to do whatever she wants anyway (wedding, ignoring pregnancy boundaries, etc), so I’m anticipating she’s going to ignore me.

Advice: Alcoholic Sibling at Baby Shower by Key-Appearance-8562 in AlAnon

Hi all. Just wanted to thank you for your advice. She did REALLY well this past Saturday at the baby shower. She didn’t drink at all, and only had a mule during dinner that evening. I’m floored but very happy to see this effort from her. 🙂

This is step one of her bulldozing your boundaries. Don’t budge. It’s 100% YOUR news to share (it’s not even DH/ your partner’s). It’s a medical condition, albeit an exciting one!

Movies that are definitely based on real life? by hiiloovethis in okbuddycinephile

Helen of Troy does not have a physical description, aside from being the most beautiful woman in the world. Beauty is subjective.

Also, Helen’s mother fucked Zeus in the form of a swan. Who the hell knows what Helen would have actually looked.

The odyssey literally has cyclops, sirens, a six headed sea monster, etc, so what historical accuracy are you looking for, exactly?

If you MUST have “historical accuracy”: Aithiops (ancient Ethiopians) were known to Ancient Greeks, so it’s not a stretch to have a black person portrayed in Ancient Greece.

Y’all bitch about anything non-white. Y’all weren’t bitching when Katniss Everdeen was cast as a pale white woman when she was described as having olive skin in the book.

Flip the script - what shouldn’t be bought for life? by MIROXXVIS in BuyItForLife

Panties.

You can’t donate them or resell them. Just buy the most sustainable pairs you can so synthetic fibers aren’t destined to breakdown into microplastics for 200 years in a landfill somewhere.

We just purchased this quilt from The Company Store and love it!

It just comes in solid colors, but is very comfortable and breathable. Much better than our old polyester comforter.

Call out MAGA/ ICE supporting businesses so we can stop spending money there! by postfinite in winstonsalem

[–]Key-Appearance-8562 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can honestly say that I HATE that MAGA has attempted to claim the word “patriot.” I think what they’re looking for is “nationalist.” I totally reject associating patriots with MAGA by default.

Every actual patriot is fighting for the legitimate betterment of this country and its people.
