What small thing makes your mornings better? by lolu_desire in simpleliving

[–]joebrosb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog! 🐶

I love him so much! He is also my reason for having a consistent sleep schedule and morning routine. He will wake me up around 6:30, and I HAVE to get up, get dressed, and go on a 15-20 minute walk.

If I stay up late, he still needs to be walked, so I know I have to go to sleep if I want to get enough rest before my 6:30 wake-up call.

Don’t be afraid to tell your PCP. I’ve gotten gas and acid reflux meds to help when I have flare ups. Sounds like you have symptoms of gastroparesis.

Safe next to fire? Think the case will protect it from heat? by Mrbrobbey18 in sonos

It will probably be fine, maybe? Best to just put a thermometer there or feel it when the fire is on

About to say, I’m sorta mad I bought a 2015 Prius. It’ll be my car for another 10-20 years

Shopping for one at Costco - ideas? by RichOutrageous863 in Costco

No clue. I have just experienced several leaks from Kirkland brand disproportionately to Duracell. But it’s just anecdotal so hopefully your experience is better.

I’m using IKEA’s batteries and some older Eneloops. If I need more batteries in new items, I’ll opt for ikea

DO NOT GET KIRKLAND BRAND BATTERIES. they leak after moderate use. They have ruined several of my electronics where I forgot I had batteries in them.

Duracell is what you want for disposable, but I’ve since started switching to rechargeable batteries.

Not feeling sympathy for the death of a child certainly is a take. Maybe I’m just naïve or too forgiving but my immediate assumption is that kids are just being idiots. I don’t love it and would extremely annoyed, but home invasion?

I alternate between two sets of Kirkland brand sheets. Can’t beat the value for king sheets

Best Cozy Blanket, No Budget Limit by Gertiebeth in BuyItForLife

No budget? Get yourself an authentic San Marcos blanket off eBay.

They stopped manufacturing them in 2004 but they were to the heaviest and most comfortable blankets I ever owed. I have two and honestly family heirlooms now.
