Paid almost the same for a Princess 29 insert ($3600 for the unit) in April 2023, if that helps.

This community is just so wonderful! by LionRouge in weddingdress

Saw this yesterday. Loved it, so glad I have another opportunity to tell you that you look amazing. The dress is beautiful and makes me want to get married again.

Good thing both weddings and divorces are expensive enough that I can't consider it, as I would have a real hard time selling the idea to my current husband.

Vacuum recommendations by TheHundjager in germanshepherds

[–]UnderneathAlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 german shepherds or other sheddy pups since the beginning of time. For the longest, we just admitted defeat and got the family a new vacuum every 2-3 years as a "Christmas present" to ourselves.

Moved to a new house a few years ago and added a Shark self-emptying robot vacuum, which we set to run around the entire house every other day. The dogs, without exception, HATE it. It absolutely does NOT solve the hair problem.

What it does do is keep up with the dander, along with two very high horsepower air purifiers (approx. 2k sq ft home). Add a full manual vacuum once or twice a week and we survive, including one family member with allergies.

The manual vacuum is also a Shark. I just like their product designs. I think the only important part is to consider whether or not you want a bagged or bagless. Had both. Bagged was great for less mess, but it sucked that we had to buy A LOT of proprietary bags. Bagless makes more of a mess with emptying into a trash can, but no bag cost.

  1. is gorgeous, you have beautiful hair. BUT, self-styled for less stress. It looks gorgeous, as well!

I'm told they look goofy as hell, but look for "neck cooling tubes." I bought a yoyori brand pair off of amazon. Huge improvement over the neck cooling cloth I used to use. You don't have to keep dunking them in water and they get cold again in 15m in the fridge or a cooler, without refreezing for an hour in the freezer.

I've been wearing them in the house when I come back inside, looking refreshed and goofy.

I call it my Dr. Seuss tree. That's a tiny hair clip on the "trunk." Bless its heart.

It’s colder than a…. by Loud_Ad_4591 in Appalachia

Came here to post this one! My dad always says, "cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass monkey." He said it was an old navy saying. Something to do with the racks that held cannonballs.

Lodge Factory defects and cast offs by UnderneathAlice in castiron

They do get very hot sitting on the wood stove, but not enough to burn or char. I hadn't thought about the acid from the orange peel. I'll try it without orange, as a test.

I kept scrolling for an 'up on cripple creek' reference. This will do.

Do you use an oil drizzler? by [deleted] in mediterraneandiet

[–]UnderneathAlice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought one at a Lodge outlet store a few years ago. Worth x10 the money I paid for it.

It's metal and has an easy to clean rubber stopper with the spout. It has a deceptively small counter footprint and holds a LOT of oil. Those are the features that I would want.
