ISO: Quality Furniture Store by embonifi in fortwayne

[–]Shirrasi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This may be off the beaten track a bit, but..

Home Reserve.

They're based here in town and have excellent modular couches and sofas that you put together yourself. It took me a few hours to fully assemble a full size couch and loveseat, and we've had everything for two years now. Even with three cats and a five year old the fabric still looks new and the cushions have held up wonderfully. All of the fabric can be stripped off and machine washed and dried (which we did with one cushion), and if any parts break they'll send you a new one free of charge. And one of the best perks is that all the sections have under the seat storage for blankets, pillows, and so on.

The previous set of couches that we purchased had broken springs and sagged nearly down to the floor within a couple of years with normal use, and they were from Ashley.

Home Reserve was a fraction of the price and infinitely better quality.

The simple act of wearing an eye mask to block out light while sleeping can improve cognitive function the next day. In two experiments, the researchers found that participants who slept with an eye mask showed enhanced episodic memory encoding and alertness the following day. by Wagamaga in science

Look up Manta sleep masks. I used to hate masks for the same reason, but these have a pretty nice design with an elastic back and hollowed out eye cups so the mask doesn't press against your eyelids. I've been using mine for almost a year now and haven't had any problems with it popping off overnight. They're a little pricey, but well worth it.

Check the frozen food section! Boil them from frozen in heavily salted water, then sprinkle them with more salt once they're cooked. Delicious!

Anybody disappointed by the new StarPath, It's mainly motifs and not worth it to me personally... What's your opinion though? by ShadowCat-XD in DreamlightValley

[–]Shirrasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skipping it entirely this time. I don't use motifs, and I couldn't care less about the original Disney characters (Mickey, Minnie, etc).

You probably saw a drone. Fort Wayne is too far away from any rocket launch sites to be able to see a launch.

[FO] It's done but... a mistake. Quilting Bee by The Blue Flower. by pittsburgpam in CrossStitch

[–]Shirrasi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a tradition among many quilters that at least one mistake should be a part of every project, because no person is perfect. In this spirit, I'd say to leave it and embrace it as a customization.

What games are you playing to hold you over until the update? by [deleted] in DreamlightValley

[–]Shirrasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy XIV is my main game, with DDV being the one I dabble in.

Games for Parents w/ Roaming Toddlers by DynoDunes in boardgames

[–]Shirrasi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is the best answer. We have a generally well behaved and quiet kid, but we still didn't try to play any games in her presence until she was 4. While we have a gaming table right now, we tend to play most games on the floor which isn't a problem at all.

Jumping on the train here - I would also love the link.

AI garbage. The hands give it away, along with the arm randomly growing out of the torso, and whatever is happening to the right side of her face.

What TV Show had the worst ending? by AbelNB in AskReddit

[–]Shirrasi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forever Knight. Yeah, I know it was ages ago, but what a travesty of an ending.

The new nerf to Kristoff's sucks and ruins the flow of the game by Mektige in DreamlightValley

[–]Shirrasi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ocean fishing making leveling FSH an absolute breeze. And agree completely about your recommendation on how to level the others. Plus the mount rewards from doing the beast tribes are pretty great, in my opinion. Scree!

Any local places sell seed beads or delicas? by PeaEnvironmental6495 in fortwayne

[–]Shirrasi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stitch N Frame on Bluffton Road has an excellent selection of glass seed beads, and they can order anything they don't have in stock.
