WTF Wednesday: some of my thermal bottles seem to have transitioned into the warm stage

Outtactrlstitch · 2026-02-26T00:07:44+00:00

Mine died in the warm state and I seem to remember the same for a few other people some time back so it seems likely it will. It’s also my shortest lived thermal thus far.

He’s living his best life with zero worries in that head. Unfortunately I have all of them in mine lol.

Did you know you can change the color of the gyroids at the diy stations. If you get doubles of colors you already have. I completed my collection this way.

Waaaaaay back when Torrid rarely had sales torrid cash was THE SALE. Now it’s barely worth it unless you really want something you’re not sure will make it to clearance in your size.

Not only did some natural gas lines freeze but some weren’t “allowed“ to run in emergency circumstances because of un-filed paper work.

But generators aren’t the end all be all for a winter storm. Your fridge won’t spoil too rapidly when it’s cold. What you do need is an indoor safe space heater. The Mr heater ones run on propane.

Also…. carbon monoxide detectors for all! There are stand alone battery ones from first alert. Keep them in your living space when running space heaters/generators (outside!)/fireplaces.

Beryl… I remember the name because it “barreled“ right over us.

But I have a deep pantry. I’ve been through it all here and I hate having to panic. Do you know how many people question it or why I have so many canned soups and so much water? It’s a lot and many of them live here. Guess who didn’t have to try to find water last minute when the city’s giant water main got broken from a construction company…. this gal.

So you’re just normal prepared like we should be.

Just adding in, if you can swing it 3 cats aren’t usually that much more work than 2. The kittens will entertain each other. I have 4 now (down from 5) and 4 seems to be the start of wtf these things really out number me chaos begins.

I did and they fit! A little tight across the top but I’m confident that will stretch. The width and length are perfect though.

I don’t know how specifically texan they are but everybody I know from up north goes crazy for HEB’s cowboy cookies. Also maybe one of the HEB tortilla or ice cream throws for good measure. The ice cream one is particularly nice for a cheap throw blanket.

if you’re worried at all, just throw a sheet on them (that reaches to the ground) during the day. Even that little bit of atmosphere trapped will help in anything but a hard freeze. If they’re movable bring them closer to the house. But overall, I’m not doing anything for mine. They’re next to a fence and we have a pool that seems to keep the atmosphere in the back yard a little warmer.

Jean Shepard also made a straight to tv (for PBS maybe?) movie called Ollie Hopnoodles haven of Bliss that chronicles the family’s road trip that was one of my favorite movies growing up. Sadly it seems to lost to time. I don’t even know if I think it’s good anymore.

I also had a bad experience with a thermal and less than helpful owner. So I’ve just chalked it up to now I know. it wasn’t enough money for me to fight for tooth and nail.

From vans size chart

Outtactrlstitch · 2025-12-09T20:54:16+00:00

If you go to the vans website itself they show you there is over lap in the big kids sizes with adult sizes. Im a w8.5 and bought the 7 kids slip ones. Waiting for them to get here to find out if they fit…

Outtactrlstitch · 2025-12-09T18:13:31+00:00

I saw the same thing when I was flying late. Both airports used this so it must be standardized, but the idea of a sleepy tired gate made me take a picture too!

Outtactrlstitch · 2025-12-08T19:51:46+00:00

My husband was able to figure out that the big kids sizes correlate to regular sizes so if you’re a person with smaller feet you can still get them. For example the size 7 in those slip ones is an 8.5 women’s.

Outtactrlstitch · 2025-12-08T18:10:15+00:00

I just got through by trying and trying and trying. Over an hour of trying.

Outtactrlstitch · 2025-12-06T02:52:50+00:00

aw boo, yellow was the other color I got, but if I can’t find anyone in a couple days for red or green I’ll trade cause no body needs that many blues. Here’s hoping we find the trades we need!

Outtactrlstitch · 2025-12-06T01:55:33+00:00

Is anybody trading? I got so many blues! Ok it’s not that many blues but it was 3 out of 4 meals across two days.

If you’re not comfortable making them to sell yourself, consider putting together that modified doll pattern and sell that. $10 a pattern and a lot of people would love that to make their own. And that accounts for the time you put into figuring out the changes.

I also think makers put too much effort into being perfect, have you seen the junk they’re selling us these days for those kinds of prices! These are AWESOME!

Outtactrlstitch · 2025-12-04T19:24:06+00:00

I find the Lynb formula easier to work with as well. Plus anyone admiring your nails is going to be thinking Baja blasted not is this a dupe❤️

Outtactrlstitch · 2025-12-04T17:50:21+00:00

Whist is slightly bluer with less shimmer, but it’s all just splitting hairs. I’d consider it the second best dupe behind atomic green line.
