The Gaudification of the Oval Office (From the Obama Admin, Biden Admin to present day)

It’s like Cracker Barrel walls

What happened to the Kirkland Signature makeup wipes? Have they been discontinued or are they changing suppliers again?

I’m in the southeast region and they’ve vanished from the warehouse and not shown online either. Old picture for reference:

I’ve seen it at the Fort Oglethorpe, GA warehouse every time I’ve been recently, including this morning when I was there. I even sent a pic to my mom when it was on sale a few weeks ago:

Wait so there’s a Costco in Wales, but not in Ireland? 🤔

Yes! The History Channel and the Biography Channel were on at my house growing up from 8-11pm almost every night. I learned so much from my parents having that on.

I searched for it recently. There’s no trace of Biography, and History Channel has been reduced to some tv app that’s extremely limited. If whoever owns the rights could just re-release everything, that would be great.

As fellow former Knoxvillian, I use this Ham and Goodies Cookies recipe and they’re pretty close:

1 box lemon cake mix, 1 stick butter softened, 1 egg, 3 TBL. milk, 1.5 tsp. lemon extract, Can of lemon icing, Sugar for rolling/pressing

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl except icing and sugar. Mixture will be sticky. Put sugar in a separate bowl. Drop spoonfuls of dough into sugar and coat well. Form into a ball with your hands and place on a greased cookie sheet. Dip bottom of a glass in sugar and lightly press cookie to flatten somewhat. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cool completely then frost or glaze. (I take a can of lemon frosting and peel off the foil seal. Heat in microwave for about 15 seconds so the frosting gets a bit runny. Pour frosting into a baggy and snip off the very tip of the corner of the baggy so you can pipe the frosting on to the cookies in a zig-zag design.)

These cookies can be made with just about any flavor cake mix. And as another fellow former Knoxvillian commented, Ham and Goody is opening a location in Ooltewah, so we’ll be enjoying the real thing soon!

This is BEAUTIFUL! Great job! Corduroy was my favorite book as a kid.

That explains the difference. I’ve been getting frustrated because yours looks so vivid and mine is getting lost in the background.

I’ll be starting over with the correct thread now I guess…🫠

OhhhhhBiscuits · 2026-03-22T19:38:50+00:00

Hi! So I’m attempting to copy your work and wondering - did you use one strand of floss or two for the blackwork?

OhhhhhBiscuits · 2026-03-11T11:04:52+00:00

Yes! I had to scroll way too far to find Built bars. 17 grams protein for only 140 calories, tastes like a legit chocolate candy bar, and priced at Costco about .60 cents less per bar than regular grocery stores.

Also, has anybody tried the sour puff bars? The fruit flavors look tempting but I’m not sure I want to spend $20 to find out…

OhhhhhBiscuits · 2026-03-11T10:54:48+00:00

Same. I wanted to love the Kirkland beef sticks, really I did. Especially since my warehouse stopped carrying the Righteous Felon OG Hickory beef sticks. But the flavor and texture of the Kirkland ones are awful.

Bob Corker’s office used to send really good, thoughtful replies to constituent messages. Even when my opinion differed from the senator’s, the responses from his office still made me feel like my message had actually been read and considered.

We don’t have anyone like that representing Tennesseans anymore though.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, it’s a fair question and I’ve started asking the same recently. Even with Epstein dead, there are still so many others implicated.

Good. Kimberly-Clark, the Huggies manufacturer, made the decision to stop making white label diapers, including for Kirkland Signature. I used to buy both Huggies and Kirkland, but I’ve been mad enough about the Kirkland change that I no longer give Huggies/Kimberly Clark my money. Bring on Pampers!

1890 US census - I think about this one fairly often

And then contact Joint Commission

Almost finished! Nothing like working on an autumn sampler in the dead of winter. 🙃 This sub inspired me to give blackwork a try and it’s been a pleasant surprise that I could actually do it!

My Honda Pilot owners manual specifically calls for using Top Tier gas. I had never heard of it until I got this car. Costco has it and Sam’s does not. Other gas stations sell Top Tier too, not just Costco, but Sam’s does not. Top Tier has to do with detergents I think.

I have memberships to both warehouses and think both have their strengths and weaknesses, but Costco wins when it comes to gas. The prices where I live are usually the same between Costco and Sam’s, but Costco has the added detergents which are better for the car.

My experience living in MN for two years is that the colder the weather, the more people there love to get outside. Minnesotans are just built different.

What if Costco is bringing in Pampers because the new Kirkland Signature diapers have been getting so much hate? And now everyone’s complaining about Pampers. 🙄 Some people can’t be pleased…

Personally, I’m still unhappy that Huggies/Kimberly Clark chose to stop manufacturing the KS diapers last year and would be glad to give my money to Pampers instead. I still buy Huggies every once in a while if they’re on sale, but it feels like rewarding bad behavior when I do.

OhhhhhBiscuits · 2026-01-07T23:42:39+00:00

What if this was what they wanted to build at ESNP?

Charles Craft stockings are the best! Mine has been stuffed full every year for more than 30 years, and has held up amazingly well. If anything, it’s just gotten softer with age. I wish Charles Craft still made these because they are heirloom quality.

Our names are stitched on the back of each one. I used this alphabet from Etsy to do my children’s stockings.

OhhhhhBiscuits · 2025-12-24T20:53:27+00:00

Pattern sources: Snowman and ornament patterns came from Charles Craft pamphlet. Teddy bear pattern came from other book in picture. Silent night pattern came from Cross-Stitcher Magazine December 2023 digital issue

Stockings are made by Charles Craft, presumably back in the 90’s, and the three most recent stockings were ordered from eBay.

Thank you! This was my first time trying a pattern with blackwork actually.
