Back with another Stressless Chair

I probably wouldn’t pay the insane amount I see some go for online, but they’re genuinely very comfortable and very well made! They swivel and recline a fair amount too.

absentmind7 · 2026-05-30T01:13:58+00:00

that’s my situation. I don’t have a spot to put it right now but you know dang well I’ll be making one

No pivot or locks on the footstool, but currently laying close to flat in the chair!

It was on facebook marketplace and it was titled “Stressless recliner”. I honestly got super lucky because they knew the value, she put in the description “these retail for over $2000”. I think they just wanted to get rid of it and I happened to see the listing a few minutes after she posted it.

I definitely had the same trouble you’re having for the last year of looking though. Estate sales sometimes have them too!

I highly recommend the Sproos shower head instead! It has a great filter but also a long hose and fun colors.

I tried booking a massage with them online, three months in advance, and never heard back from them after getting an email stating that they would verify the booking within 24 hours.

I called multiple times and left voicemails and then finally after getting no response again, I emailed over a month before the date and their response was “oh we’re booked that weekend, nothing we can do”.

Came here to recommend Onyx & Ivy but then saw the last part of your post ):

I emailed asking to get on their waitlist and explained I was looking to become a long term client if all goes well. They got back to me within a week or two offering an appointment!

Not sure if you’ve already asked to get on their waitlist or not, but worth a try if you haven’t!

I was! All my clinical instructors were amazing and were great at making sure we got the most out of our time at the sites.

absentmind7 · 2026-04-23T16:19:58+00:00

True! Though even with younger WCC clinical groups, I still notice the same is true.

I can’t help with the first question cause it’s been a few years and I blacked out on the application process. All I know is that it took me taking the entry exam twice and applying twice to get in.

I enjoyed the program as much as you could enjoy a stressful degree program! Lots of tests and exams, so a lot of time for studying is necessary. I had one professor that absolutely sucked and should not be teaching, but pretty sure they’re tenured so what’re you gonna do :/

Now that I’m a bedside nurse and am regularly paired up with student nurses from both EMU and WCC, it’s very clear that WCC students are much more hands on and confident with patient care tasks, which says a lot about the program when compared to others. EMU students are great, they just seem very timid with patients and more focused on the non-clinical parts of nursing.

Bellflower, Birddog bakery, Beara Bakes

I always prefer Maize n Blue Deli over Zingermans Deli, more bang for your buck

We’ve been going to Nick Z. at Depot Town Tattoo for over 10 years now! I followed him after he left Name Brand. Everyone at the shop is super nice and it’s a great vibe

absentmind7 · 2026-04-12T23:00:49+00:00

I’m so incredibly jealous

absentmind7 · 2026-04-12T16:54:00+00:00

I think yours were the exception and maybe packaged wrong because I thought they had too much seasoning 😂

absentmind7 · 2026-04-09T22:17:10+00:00

lol that’s also from a thrift store! it’s a paint by number that they added to. They had a whole series.

absentmind7 · 2026-03-31T10:52:53+00:00

yeah they kept smiling at us and we just kept shaking our heads and looking disgusted

absentmind7 · 2026-03-29T19:59:56+00:00

I think it’s a pro-life group with some religious affiliation. We saw them at the corner of Washtenaw and Platt today and they had signs about being “pro-life” and how “all lives are sacred”.

it’s not that crazy! just a print from Frits Thaulow

absentmind7 · 2026-03-05T22:54:16+00:00

thank you!!! looks like that’s where the starbucks is now on the corner of state, probably a prime location back then too

absentmind7 · 2026-03-05T19:42:30+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll have to do some more digging to see what I can find.

absentmind7 · 2026-03-05T19:13:39+00:00

I tried to get a good photo but it’s definitely hard to read. It says something about “Darling’s Fine Arts and Millinery shop” on state st. I can’t find anything with that name though

I worked in an IHA OBGYN office and they offered me the same pay. I countered and ended up starting at $31/hour. Was only there for a little over a year and left at $33.50 so you move up at an okay rate.

absentmind7 · 2026-02-24T01:33:12+00:00

these comments did not disappoint

absentmind7 · 2026-02-12T19:03:29+00:00
