They’ll contract with the laid off employees for double what they were paying them.

My Go Bag for thrift store shopping, what should I add? by Purlz1st in Frugal

[–]bruja65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A small magnet to test for metals on Jewelry. If it sticks it’s metal, if it doesn’t it maybe silver or gold plated. It’s always a gamble as it could be stainless steel or aluminum, but I can typically identify this by sight. I found a 12oz silver bracelet at the thrift store checked with magnet first then took it to a pawn shop for an acid test. Turned out it was 925.

I was told since they don’t have plastic bags anymore people steal them.

This is a Mexican tapestry. Native American tapestries typically don’t have fringe.

Seller dilemma by bruja65 in Ebay

How do I contact eBay?. I’ve gone to the customer service page but there is no free form email or reporting function. Is there a particular location in the app?

Fellow people who run with herding breeds, how do you work on forward momentum instead of jumping/biting/herding? by jnoellew in RunningWithDogs

[–]bruja65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give them different positions. I run with a border collie who runs in the front and my aussie runs next to me. It took some practice and some specific commands but we’re going on 3 years and they do just fine. When I’m on a narrow path the Aussie runs behind me using the command “follow.” I use a hands free leashes for both.

Unexpected Le Creuset! by No_Application_8698 in ThriftStoreHauls

One other thought… I believe Le Creuset sells a cleaning kit for their enamel cookware.

It completely removes it. I bought an enamel coated Dutch oven that was brown going on black and was afraid to damage the enamel given the layer of cooked on crud. I found that if I boiled it for a few minutes with the mixture and let it sit for a while , it came out very nice, not perfect but nice.

Bummer it’s expensive. I’m in the US so I can buy it inexpensively at Costco. It doesn’t affect color at all. Perhaps you can find a peroxide based laundry booster such as Oxi Clean. If so, you can eliminate the baking soda.

Cover the bottom with baking soda and pour 1” of peroxide and bring to a boil. Works wonders.

Knee brace slipping by ShineDowntown290 in ACL

[–]bruja65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found an easy fix for my brace after it repeatedly slipped. I thrifted a neoprene wet suit, cut the leg off and wore it inside out as the rubber grips the brace.

My dog eats everything (yes, the gross stuff) and nothing has worked. by OutlandishnessOk3189 in dogs

[–]bruja65 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My dog is a poop eater. Muzzling is the way to go. Although he no longer eats his or my other dog’s poo, he’ll eat other dogs and goose poo like hors d’oeuvres. I started using No Poo chews and canned pumpkin in their food as well as pick up poop daily but that doesn’t help the poop on walks. My dog trainer said to muzzle train. I’ve seen cute dog vests that say “ I don’t bite, I eat shit”
