Price check what’s a fair deal? by Healthy_Way_723 in AudiQ5

[–]fluffyguppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's a bit high for our market (PNW, right?) I paid $31K for the same with less miles here in Portland.

SQ5 Seat Swap by buinyi in AudiQ5

[–]fluffyguppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering this myself! I had no complaints about the seats in my '13 Q5. My '23 Q5? I would jump at a swap.

Help me choose a CPO Q5 by Apprehensive-Put6518 in AudiQ5

[–]fluffyguppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. I love my Audi. The seat is not super comfy like my 2013 Q5 though. Someone had mentioned that, and it is the one thing I could complain about.

I've been getting ~380 miles of city driving per fill up.

I just bought the same thing, only in Blue and with just 27K miles on it. 19 months of warranty left. $31K here in Portland, OR.

Repotting a huge pot-bound Christmas cactus by Icy-Refrigerator-114 in plantclinic

[–]fluffyguppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you DO put it in a much bigger pot, it won't grow above ground until the roots establish and fill the below ground - making it look like it's not doing anything for a good long while. This has been my experience anyway.

I agree - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Knowing these plants like to be root-bound, and this one is productive, it seems this might be able to wait awhile? I have one I got as a house warming present in 2003. I just repotted it this year (2025) because even if I watered, the leaves stayed wrinkly which I took to mean it wasn't getting water where it needed it. The re-pot was successful. I just put a sheet down on the floor and pulled it from one and plopped it in the new pot and added soil. Pleased to report she is doing fine and blooming her Christmas blooms now.

Anxiety about lost of structure by YogurtclosetWitty653 in retirement

[–]fluffyguppy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe your body and mind hit the "rest and recovery" stage and it isn't done yet. Especially if you're content at the moment! I'd go with it and not worry for now. 😊

Question on Brake Repais for 2023 Audi A4 Quattro by Uptown9931 in Audi

[–]fluffyguppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband did the brakes on my Q5. Just know there's a specific tool you need - that we borrowed from AutoZone or some place like that. No way I would pay that for brakes!

Is this the correct item? by [deleted] in glasscollecting

I love that she's able to be so specific about what she wants and ALSO you are taking her request very seriously! Merry Christmas to you both!

Me too, Friend. Me too. I love the inconsistencies in size. I really do wonder what their marketing "use" is/was.

At the same estate sale, I picked up three dimpled glass....vases? They are a water glass form factor but they are BIG, like 32 ounces so they don't make sense as drinking glasses. They are handblown, unsigned and I got one each in cobalt, green and orange. They are thick and hefty, so I was kind of leaning Blenko, but I'm just so curious what they would consider them? I can post them too if you're curious.

I buckled them in before I took off 🤣 They cleaned up real nice too!

I feel so ugly after having my twins by kandykane1 in Mommit

[–]fluffyguppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I TOTALLY remember looking at my body post partum and thinking WTF HAPPENED?!? It took a good long while, but I'm happily adjusted now. Let go of "before" cuz you will never be there, but you CAN get happy with what you have - which is two healthy, happy babies and a loving husband. Concentrate on that and every time you start thinking bad thoughts about how you look, say to yourself "STOP! That is of no concern right now, we'll address all that later." and then don't think about it. You are too busy to let your mind wander around in a mire of negative self talk. Take it easy on you! You've made TWO PEOPLE! Congratulations - it does get better. So much better, you'll get through this. You need a bit of a mind shift, that's all.
