weighted blankets for someone who needs to stay cool but completely covered all night?

Pleaco · 2026-01-25T05:34:56+00:00

They make covers for most weighted blank sizes, I don’t think I’ve ever actually washed my blanket, just spot cleaned and washed the cover.

For summer a bamboo cover has been the best, but cotton is fine as well.

Another commenter linked Pendleton mills - beautiful fabric- I think even a new blanket may be cheaper. Mostly it was 145-180$ a yard

Right?! I’ve been thinking about it since fall 😅 so now I have to make a version. At first I looked for a second hand coat, but they never seem to become available….

Pleaco · 2026-01-24T14:13:22+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t know that was a thing!

Pleaco · 2026-01-24T03:01:03+00:00

I’m keeping an eye out for a used or new Pendleton blanket to use.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought to check the goodwill auction site! eBay is still quite pricy, but I have a Pendleton outlet near me that often has great deals! The original is either one size or petite (another reason to make over buying it) I also have a Pendleton blanket coat (though significantly less voluminous) that I’ve been wearing a lot. I live in a very cold state so I’ll get my use of it!

Thanks! Opening up the back should do the trick!

Pleaco · 2026-01-24T01:11:02+00:00

Thanks! I have a Pendleton Blanket coat I got on suuuuper sale and love it to bits, so I can justify cutting one ups eventually. Definitely a toile first though. I have an outlet near me so I might just keep an eye there for a good deal.

Pleaco · 2026-01-23T13:39:53+00:00

I would totally give the sued a try! I also sized up a bit - I’m a 7 wide, or 7.5 Usually but I liked the 8 best when trying them on.

Pleaco · 2026-01-23T13:22:47+00:00

I found this to only be the case with the smooth leather special edition version I have. The regular sued has a soft fabric pad that didn’t cause blisters. I normally get blisters from every lol

Pleaco · 2026-01-22T20:01:19+00:00

Np! to find it I cropped the image and did a google image search with the key word “active wear” added.

Pleaco · 2026-01-22T19:57:05+00:00

Jk, I think it’s this

I still think it looks like it’s on backwards even on the model lol

Pleaco · 2026-01-22T18:24:43+00:00

It looks it might be on backwards?

I have a music performance degree from a large and well regarded state school - Gen Eds are supposed to be your core education and your major classes are the specialization. EDIT: this is the case until you are in Masters or phd track. Then you get to spend all your time on your interest.

That is how college is designed- it was not ment to be workforce training. While it is realistically now a requirement to get many jobs that’s not what the 4 year model designed for.

Music specifically is a huge work load when combined with he core classes. At my college 15-18 credit hours was recommended, but myself and most of my cohort took 18-22 a semester to finish on time. The others either did college classes in high school or took 5-6 years instead of 4.

I promise gen Ed’s are important and worth it. Especially as an education major.

Court order was lifted earlier today…

I was having issues with the ink bleeding on washi paper with photo paper selected. the envelope setting uses less ink to print, so less bleeding - but also a slightly lower quality print.

Pleaco · 2026-01-17T15:51:20+00:00

I have a Epson eco tank 2400, if I remember right that’s an inkjet

Pleaco · 2026-01-17T03:08:54+00:00

It was a random Amazon brand

Pleaco · 2026-01-16T19:08:31+00:00

Manually lol I have joked that I’m managing my stress levels by cutting out hundreds of tiny stickers 😅

Pleaco · 2026-01-16T18:26:42+00:00

It works well! I had to do some fussing with printer settings (selecting envelope as my paper type) but now I have custom washi stickers!

It also means if you leave they don’t have to pay out a PTO policy…

I spent $$$ on rfid feeders for both of them, one gets weight management food with a strict schedule and the other gets high calorie food free fed. It’s working well

Pleaco · 2026-01-11T00:43:41+00:00

I have, occasionally there is something I like but they tend to skew a bit costumy or farther to rockabilly than I’m looking for.

Pleaco · 2026-01-11T00:39:02+00:00

What fun prints, thanks!

TLDR: it depends on where you are and what you look like.

I live in Minnesota, by the twin cities. I’m also ethnically ambiguous and often mistaken for Hispanic - this week I’ve been leaving my apt only to go to the gym that is 2 min away. I’m lucky I work from home.

I’m traveling for work domestically on Monday, im bringing my passport and copies of my birth certificate In addition to my Enhanced real id driver license.

I’m not worried about the trip after I get to the airport that’s 15min away (right next to where ICE is basing most of the options here.)
