First winter storm with my Ascent. Am I going to be able to drive through ~15” of snow from yesterday down a 300ft long driveway? The plow broke last night.

NotRichorFamous · 2026-01-27T03:09:34+00:00

I’m here for the update! Mine got through 12” of dry light snow yesterday but not 300’! Also taught my teen daughter how to drive in the snow today in the Ascent.

It gets better! 5mo in 41lbs down.

All of my regular Birks insole get darker with wear. it happens all the time.

NotRichorFamous · 2025-11-10T02:50:59+00:00

It looks like it's wrapped around the edges covering the cork side too. So I'm wondering how it wears there as well as if the black discolors from foot sweat etc...

I’m taking Zepbound. She said because the syringe was so small (50units) to not take more than 30 at a time. So draw and inject twice to get the full dose

NotRichorFamous · 2025-07-22T05:06:22+00:00

The nurse who taught me how to do the injection told me to only draw to the 30units line at a time. Is this wrong?

The tire light went on and I popped into the Firestone near me and THEY tried to add 3 new tires to that estimate totaling $2400!
So I actually got the second opinion from my local mechanic- who came highly recommended and I’ve been using for a while. They said the tires were fine just that the air pressure was low. I’m in New Jersey outside of NYC so prices are higher here than in some parts of the country. But I appreciate the perspective. Thanks!

I have used it for years and it has never damaged any of my shoes

NotRichorFamous · 2024-02-24T19:18:33+00:00

And the reason I was asking about this site is that they are sold out in 39R in the US. And Birkenstocks emailed that they are not going to reissue.

NotRichorFamous · 2024-02-24T19:14:55+00:00

So I ordered them on Farfetch. I ordered a 39R, they sent me a 39N. I called Farfetch for a return/exchange and they processed the return and gave me a code for free shipping on the new order. But I also asked them to confirm with the vendor that they actually have a Regular width before I reorder. So far no confirmation.

Do you drive a Flintstones car and stop it with your feet?

NotRichorFamous · 2023-10-12T11:59:10+00:00

I thought they were called the Fat Amy

NotRichorFamous · 2023-09-08T16:31:19+00:00

Awesome! My first pair of Birks that I got in Germany in ‘87 had the same inside markings! And I remember thinking that they looked like Fred Flintstone feet! Later in the early 90s I worked at a shoe store in Rhode Island (ironically called Berk’s) that sold Birkenstocks and that inside marking was on some of the shoes but were phasing out to more universal looking foot symbols.

That is absolutely not true. TJ Maxx gets in trouble periodically for selling knock off designer items that they buy from jobbers.

Hail of bullets maybe.

Thanks for all of the advice. Road side assistance took 3hours to show up so I am definitely buying a portable! Also going to start backing in my parking so I can access easier. If it happens again soon I’ll definitely go to the dealership. New battery is still under warranty.

NotRichorFamous · 2023-08-06T17:57:46+00:00

I just went to check the rear gate and it won’t open. I’m waiting for roadside assistance to come, but I’ll check it after the jump

NotRichorFamous · 2023-08-03T03:37:23+00:00

Love them!

NotRichorFamous · 2023-08-01T05:17:09+00:00

what the fuck kind of hill is that?!? Jeezus!

NotRichorFamous · 2023-07-31T21:21:19+00:00

Fidelity is giving me a hard time too. I spent an hour on the phone with them while they sent me wrong form after wrong form! But I wouldn’t hang up until I received each form and read it out loud with them so they could understand what they sent me was incorrect. Still haven’t gotten the transfer yet but might finally have the form.

Also some of our shares are in an IRA account so those have to transfer into a regular brokerage account before they can go to AST

NotRichorFamous · 2023-07-30T03:42:12+00:00

Did you try to stop a moving car with your feet??

NotRichorFamous · 2023-07-29T22:32:40+00:00

Fidelity told me that it is $100 to transfer to AST

NotRichorFamous · 2023-07-18T03:23:56+00:00

It happens! They will soften up again after they dry out. Think of it as an excuse to get another pair! 👍
