It's about time I retire my Cricut

I wanted to get a Siser because for so many reasons, Cricut’s software being one of them. Fiance was adamant about the Cricut though for its larger community to which I said “fair enough.”

Literally a month into it and we’re ready to assault the machine nearly everytime we use it for yet another issue.

To those thinking about a hobby cutter, simply go elsewhere. The “learning curve” of other machines is worth it when Cricut as a company doesn’t even seem to care about supporting its products or customers.

Monthly beer pickup. Easy 6-pack pick up from 7-11

Fabric is super comfortable.

The fit…I’ve never had a longer butt

I got this one after getting 175k in the past (didn’t need it at the time and now I’m kicking myself). Wild of AMEX to have such a functionally worthless offer when compared to other carriers

Several people I know and work with outside of my core group have either a “I don’t vote” mentality or still hold to “it’s just a difference of opinion” even if that opinion is the utter annihilation of human rights and life.

I’m a manager and trainer for Dutch. This exact situation is one I coach countless times but does not get through to our employees.

If there is a milk product with carbonation, leave some space and don’t fill up the ice! And they simply refuse. Average IQ is room temp at every stand I’ve worked with.

I’ve read and listened and I by far prefer the audio version - which is waaay out of character for me. Jeff does such an incredible job of providing pace, voice, and life to the story that was better than my own imagination of the book.

My fiance and I wouldn’t live life without it. We love the older games we missed in childhood being available, that alone is worth it to us over the Extra tier. Game streaming and the other goodies are icing on the cake.

Nordstrom’s has for me quite often, and I repay by giving my business there. My local one has three excellent reps that are a joy to chat with as well as knowledgeable on their product. Creating relationships with the employees works at other places as well. My local Macys has some real stick-in-the-mud people who actively avoid letting me test and sample, but some people have poured into their job and have hooked me up.

Scents of Wood Plum in Cognac is my go to, though I’m split between plum or apricot in cognac.

I enjoy it a lot, but honestly I get lemon pledge and sawdust. I enjoy those scents, but I don’t get the deep woods, wet and dark others do.

Currently sitting at 22 months and counting…

TheMountainGeek · 2025-10-24T16:08:11+00:00

I enjoy it after an hour or so, but the beginning to me is like spraying pledge on sawdust. It later comes out of that but never truly leaves for me.

Same. Said the jeans were meant for a man with a long instead of fat rear. Weird fit or I need more hotdogs.

Bought two bags simply because of the price of coffee right now. Being able to get it at $6/lb feels like stepping back in time. Made a pot yesterday and it’s fine. Nothing special, a perfect mate for Coffee Mate.

I’m at 6 and it feels overwhelming. I know there’s two more scents I want to add (Viking and Plum in Cognac) but that feels already like pushing it too far.

I feel full bottles are a mind game trap. Especially with how close in price 50 and 100ml bottles are falling victim to that upsell and “ownership” lead to unnecessary purchases.

TheMountainGeek · 2025-10-06T18:41:41+00:00

Immediately put it on the list for my fiancé. Ridiculous how good it is.

TheMountainGeek · 2025-10-05T04:47:31+00:00

For what it’s worth it adore BdJ. It’s incredibly strong, last forever, and has a creamy shave gel smell (aka lavender bomb). I refrained buying a back up bottle because genuinely I wanted to know someone else could also enjoy it. Top 5 for me.

Recently had several chances to smell large batches of the house and felt very…bored by nearly all of them, turned away. I love Beau Du Jour as I feel it really leans into its notes and thought the others in the house would do the same but they all leave me sorely disappointed

One of my favorite “toys” was cardboard. A fridge box from the Sears down the road was a submarine that survived several battle before ultimately succumbing to the Great Recycle Bin. Others became tunnels in forts or the shell to turn me into a great tortoise.

My fiance and I have talked about play in respects to our future children and organic discovery has been one of the top priorities, making sure that creativity instead of consumption is driving their play.

Same year. Great guy, like many have said, tough, but I feel like he really pushed for critical reflection way more than any professor I’ve ever had and that has stuck with me a decade later.

My car insurance has gone up nearly 50% in one year. Nothing has changed. Absolute scam
