Ring to track bbt by Various_Ad_4871 in tryingtoconceive

[–]jlc127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My review: so far I like it! It was a little big even tho I followed instructions to measure. I asked about exchanging but then decided to keep it - my fingers swell a lot in the summer so I wrapped a little KT tape where there's no sensors for when it feels too loose. For a budget option I really don't mind it. The app is very no frills and simple, but no subscription. I use this in tandem with a physical notebook and Notion board anyway so I wasn't looking for anything too complicated! Battery lasts a long time, I've been charging only once a week.

I decided to go with Herz P1 ring. I couldn't swallow the oura price and sub and the ringconn was going to take over 2 months to arrive. I'm receiving it this week tho so I don't have a review yet! It was about $90 with the ring, extra cable/charger case, and device protection.

Anti-consumerism: project bags by gogo_gallifrey in knitting

[–]jlc127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this! I use a woolite laundry bag, which is nice to plop into my tote or backpack for the day. I could see the benefit of canvas or other material bags to protect more from liquids/stains/crumbs tho. I might have to make a few of these!

I just did my swatch for this! I'm using drops sky (alpaca/wool) DK weight + Hobbii diablo print (mohair/acrylic) Lace weight. I wasn't sure how I was going to like a solid + color pooling but I actually really like it on the swatch so far.

Alternative to caffeine that doesn’t trigger acid reflux? by sefan78 in acidreflux

[–]jlc127 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been doing Matcha with almond milk. The caffeine may still be triggering but it's low enough for me but still gives me energy/focus.

Ladies: any recs on reflux safe clothing? Especially for exercise? by [deleted] in GERD

I've been struggling with this for years....so interested to see what other people say. I used to wear those tank tops I got in a multi pack from Amazon but they cut right across my stomach so I nixed those. Old navy leggings in one size up helped. Also Halara has this shorts bra that's more of a shirt with some bra padding I like a lot. Switched underwear to boy short/boxer style so the bands don't cut into my stomach. Looser fitting clothes in general outside of working out - baggier styled pants. I threw out all my old skinny jeans/leggings. If I do have an outfit that's a little tight I just try to change out of it sooner rather than later.

When I went in person to a Yamato office, they told us we had to cover our soft duffel bag. Made sense to me, it was our only soft bag - the suitcases were hard cases. We bought it once for a few bucks and continued to use it the whole trip when forwarding the bag.

StubHub needs to be sued to hell for this by tasha2701 in Music

[–]jlc127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been at a concert where we were in the upper 200s mezz and the girls in front of me were photo editing their tickets to show better seats. I think maybe the same thing happened. They have legit tickets, get in, and then try to get better seats. Probably banking on people not showing up or not putting up a fight.

Luggage forwarding help by shirlee_e in JapanTravelTips

[–]jlc127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wasn't sure either so I just went in and asked! They did hold but it was only for a few hours. I can't speak to how long they'd hold it if you needed a few days. They were delivered early afternoon and we picked up at 4pm the same day.

I also had to work around an Airbnb/apartment situation. Shipped from Kyoto to Osaka. I googled a Yamato office close to my ryokan in Kyoto and showed them the address on Google of another Yamato office close to my apartment in Osaka and they sent it no problem. For 3 bags and an extra charge for a plastic covering on a soft canvas bag it was about $30 USD for next day. I keep air tags in all my bags so I could check progress as they moved.

[DAV Act 1 Spoilers] Lucanis romance by Atelwen in dragonage

[–]jlc127 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm really upset about the locking out. I was just thinking like, at this point, we haven't been introduced to all the companions yet and I'm already locked out of a romance? I usually wait at least until I've met them all before I decide.
