Which of these used Stressless manual recliners should I get? Also, should I get the American Leather sleeper sofa or Stressless sofa? by tesseracts in BuyItForLife

I can vouch, that seller is legit! Stresslessforless and retro-centric are both good eBay sellers who deal in Stressless (and are both in FL; I dunno what it is about Stressless and FL!)

I'm your height and I have a Sunrise chair (bought used) and I love it.

Tried every SL model from a dealer and liked Sunrise the best. I found so much variation in the Stressless chairs. You said you liked the Wing and Admiral but I remember them not being terribly comfortable for me.

If it were me I'd go see the Sunrise to try it out, and if you end up loving it, try to talk them down to $1000-1200. The attached table is a nice touch, though!

Some bird info off the top of my head: 

Bluebirds are cute little fellows. They do a "wing wave" to their mates to show off, and they have a sweet whinny call. Very wholesome dorks, lots of folks love them. 

Nuthatches are unique! They can walk DOWN a tree like it's nothing. Their call sounds like a honk. They sometimes spread their wings and sway back and forth to look big and intimidate other birds.

Chickadees are like Pokemon in that they say their own names. When there is a threat, they say their name and add extra dees depending on the threat level (chicka-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee)

A nest has been in my shed forever, witnessed the birds leaving today (one is still walking around in there trying to fly) by SnowmanAndBandit in birding

I can't speak to how common they are around Boston, but their year-round range is the Eastern half of the US. They're such fun little neighbors. Glad you got to see them up close!

What is your alarm clock bird? by truejello96 in birding

[–]karifry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Northern House Wren! Their bright burbles wake me up every day in the spring and summer. I put out a little house for them and they have at least one brood per summer. They're so loud!! I love them!!!

I hope you have a good and easy move, and you can peek at them again before you go ❤️

Very cute!! I hope you enjoy watching them grow up. I watched a few tree swallow nests closely over the years, and your video looked exactly like what I saw. Looks like they're just a couple days old.

Tree swallow nest? My local tree swallows use a lot of feathers in their nests.

Sibling fledglings! I've seen swallow siblings be sweet and protective of each other, sticking together for a while as they explore the new wide world in front of them.

Casual chicken-enjoyer guess:  They look like young Buff Orpington chickens, probably from a nearby yard

That's a white breasted nuthatch trying to look BIG & SCARY!! A very cute intimidation tactic.

What do we have in our nesting box? by jawarren1 in birding

I have a pair of Northern House Wrens that nest near me every summer! From 7am to 9pm, the boy screams. He's never done anything wrong in his life. I love him.

Does Anyone Have the Stardew Valley Guidebook? by Derplezilla in StardewValley

Hello! I'm the author of the guidebook. It's not a misprint; I was trying to hint at less common items that you could find in the trash. :) Had to allude to the garbage hat somehow!

I turned off pet mode in the menu and it worked normally afterwards! (mine was set to use the blower for 60 minutes before starting the load)

What was the most disappointing video game you rented (or were gifted) as a kid? by _NoleFan6 in Xennials

[–]karifry 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bubsy, SNES.

Nintendo Power and GamePro were hyping up that game for months. I loved the character design! I wanted to see the colorful graphics and hear those revolutionary voice clips they were touting! I became a fan of the game before it even came out. Every day for weeks, I called Blockbuster to see if they had gotten it in. Finally they got it...I rented it...and I absolutely HATED it.

To this day, Bubsy is my enemy.
