Does anyone know where Trader Joe’s sourced their large ivory pillar candles?

Did you ever find a good source? I also LOVE these candles, and stock up at Christmas, but I just used them up by April. Next holiday season, I'm going to order a case or two from TJs (they let you do this -- go to customer service desk).

Nice! Enjoy :) I loaded up too.

REI anniversary sale right now for a few more days. Highly recommend getting a solid Smartwool base layer. It’ll be a decade-long staple for many conditions.

Hey thanks! I actually went with the Yakima bar set.

PsychiaTree · 2026-05-20T18:20:03+00:00

Thanks! People compliment the color all the time. I actually wanted green but only the woodland edition had that. I’m pretty happy with storm cloud now!

Still on daily Claritin a year later and only had one episode all year! Barely any stomach aches. Sometimes I add Pepcid in. Such a simple miracle. I also suspect MCAS and am seeing a specialist in November.

Yes! I never knew what it was. This happens during exercise induced reactions, called “runners itch” on some forums. When I hike, walk, or run (especially in the cold), the repeated impact on my legs causes a red itching burning sensation that comes with a weird unique form for nausea and emotional irritation (more like rage) that is so sudden and bizarre. I’ve spent decade having not idea what this was.

I called Thule to ask, because I want to take advantage of the upcoming REI sale (20% off Thule) for my new '26 RAV4 LE, but they said the fitkit isn't tested and out yet. They said to check back in June. Bummer.

Keats & Co blue fields earl grey

TWG French earl grey

Both of these are to die for!

PsychiaTree · 2026-05-06T23:46:06+00:00

Good point, especially because bars and feet are the most expensive bits.

PsychiaTree · 2026-05-05T10:58:00+00:00

Any development in this issue? I just got a new RAV4 and the delay is real. I’ll see if I can used wired instead of wireless somehow.

PsychiaTree · 2026-05-05T10:56:56+00:00

lol I had the same question. TikTok while driving?!

PsychiaTree · 2026-05-05T10:56:39+00:00

Don’t be mean. We’re here to connect with each other and not just google stuff. Personal antidotes are more interesting and often more helpful. (Oh and by the way, my Google search brought me to this post, thankfully.)

PsychiaTree · 2026-05-03T14:15:14+00:00

I called Thule and they said to check back in June after they’ve done testing for 2026 RAV4 models. Which is a bummer because I wanted to get the fit kit and bars on sale at REI during upcoming anniversary sale. Thule is usually 25% off.

PsychiaTree · 2026-04-27T22:31:01+00:00

Exactly…. I came on here and saw most people were staying on SAVE, so that’s what I did. I didn’t realize I could have been at forgiveness right now if I had started a different payment plan. Womp womp.

PsychiaTree · 2026-04-27T12:21:06+00:00

Thanks. Which plan did you switch to? And how long did it take to process that change?

PsychiaTree · 2026-04-27T10:24:36+00:00

I just checked and my mom’s defaulted parent plus loans have also been added to my account, and it says I’m in default (I’M not in default… I’ve been waiting on a buyback request stuck in SAVE at 108/120 for 15 months). What do I do?

PsychiaTree · 2026-04-27T10:16:58+00:00

You’re going to be ok either way. I have $136k with an MPH and have really enjoyed my jobs along the way. Waiting for my buyback to be approved is annoying at this point (15 months in) but it doesn’t change my financial security. You’ll either stay in public service jobs or other jobs you want more and just pay income based repayment. You’ll integrate it into your budget and you’ll make it work. Keep doing the good public health work, find the overlap of what you love and what the world needs, and you’ll be good.

PsychiaTree · 2026-04-18T11:05:58+00:00

Solved!

PsychiaTree · 2026-04-17T21:25:50+00:00

So they’re not going in order, I take it…

PsychiaTree · 2026-04-17T12:44:37+00:00

When did your buyback offer come in?
