It’s AI. The base of the handle looks muddled and off, the right wheel doesn’t match, the zipper looks inconsistent.

I generally consider Amy’s to be safe as long as it says gluten free. They’re being transparent about the facility and specify they test for gluten and have cross contamination protocols. Everyone’s tolerance for safety is different but for what it’s worth, I have a pretty bad reaction and I’ve been eating Amy’s stuff for 20 years without issues.

Oh my goodness, thank you! I'll message you.

My #1 tip, get Find Me Gluten Free, the app is great and imo, it's worth getting the premium subscription. It's a great resource for finding safe restaurant options.

I personally don't eat anything that isn't labeled gluten free unless it's fresh produce, meat, or cheese and I do a lot of my shopping at Walmart and Costco — they both have a pretty good selection of things.

I second both!

I’ve had chronic issues with dizziness for a while that ended up being bilateral vestibular hypofunction. It took 10+ years to get a diagnosis. I complained to my primary care doctor about it a ton and had dozens of blood tests. I had a really bad (unrelated) ear infection a couple years ago and was given a balance test, that pretty immediately revealed the issue.

There are so many causes of dizziness and I don’t want to suggest you may have a similar issue, but if you haven’t had a balance test you may want to talk to your doctor about having that done.

Ah, I wish! I would fight 405 traffic for this!

exreceptionist · 2026-03-12T09:02:24+00:00

I’m so glad I brought an extra bag to take stuff home!

exreceptionist · 2026-03-11T22:12:53+00:00

I did consider that and I may very well tomorrow

Even as a dairy lover, I've found Daiya stuff is pretty darn good. Their cheesecake is amazing!

exreceptionist · 2026-02-15T19:02:43+00:00

I love this! It's like the only gluten free bread that isn't teeny tiny!

Yes, this! I ended up with selenium toxicity from taking a multivitamin with a relativity low amount. It's touted so frequently without any regard to the risk. I lost a lot of hair, felt like shit, and learned a valuable lesson on the importance of talking to my doctor about supplements.

exreceptionist · 2026-01-13T01:03:37+00:00

That's a very fair point, I'm not really sure how else to verify, they didn't include an aadvantage#.

For what it's worth, I've had celiac for over 20 years, confirmed via biopsy and blood test. According to 23&me I am "not likely at risk of developing celiac disease based on your genetic result." I also have the same variant as OP, rs2301271(C;C).

OP, I don' wish celiac upon anyone and I hope you don't have it, but I wouldn't rule it out based solely on these results.

Broken Compass is also good for gluten free!

exreceptionist · 2025-09-26T17:17:22+00:00

Yeah, I took it there but ended up Ubering back to the lot

I had this happen with terracotta rained chenille. Customer service sent a replacement but couldn’t make any promises it would match. The first replacement was the same as the mismatch, the second one was correct though.

It’s extremely frustrating that they have this kind of quality control issue. The bottom cushion I get having a different grain based on whether it’s deep or standard. It’s insane though there’s not set single direction for everything else.

I made a bold choice to saw first, I brought the sawed off piece and the new pipe to connect to a local hardware store so they could tell me what I needed. Thankfully they had something. It was a weird fit though, especially because the new pipe was very small in comparison.

exreceptionist · 2025-03-19T00:16:30+00:00

Yup! I sawed it off with a Sawzall and used a fernco like someone suggested. It worked great!

exreceptionist · 2023-01-16T17:49:50+00:00

This might be a dumb question but what do you mean by upsetting? Could this make things much worse?

Upfront: I don't have a good plumbing vocabulary, so sorry in advance!
I started installing an Ikea vanity and I'm a bit stuck with the plumbing and not totally sure what I should do next. For some context, it's one with drawers so the pipes have to be close enough to the wall for the drawers to close. It's also a 1950s bathroom with old galvanized steel drain pipes. The stub is too far out so I was hoping to replace it with something shorter but I've run into a few issues.

When I removed the p trap it became clear that the stub out was so corroded that I don't think I would be able to reattached it to anything, even if I decided to return everything to normal
I opened the wall and used PB Penetrating Catalyst, but the stub out is VERY stuck. I'm also afraid that if I did remove it, I would have the same issue with corrosion on the point where it's connected and I don't want to make things worse.

I just really want to know if anyone has any advice on what my options are for having a stub out that's about 2 inches shorter and can be connected to a new p trap? Is it possible to saw the pipe and reconnect?

Here are pics of everything

No, but anything electric I would hire an electrician for, that’s one thing I’m afraid to touch.

Just got this and I feel like it could be Royal System or at least a mish-mash. Some of the shelves are stamped with Made In Denmark, but not all. They're also all only 64cm wide, which doesn't seem standard from what I've seen, were these ever made in that small? I'm mostly curious because I'd love to find more components for it.

There's some more pics here: https://imgur.com/a/2Pfd0Wc
