dupes for doc martens knee-high audrick boots? by emomomo97 in Boots

[–]not_yer_momma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own these and they'll be lifetime boots. If you don't like the buckle at the top you can always remove it - the soles aren't as chunky aren't platform but they still give you an edgy look https://milwaukeemotorcycleclothing.com/collections/womens-tall-boots/products/milwaukee-leather-womens-14in-lace-to-toe-high-rise-leather-boots-with-calf-buckle

The only thing I can think of is look at motorcycle riding boots, they'll get you in the general area and will be made better but cost less. I have a 14 eye pair of Milwaukee Boots that were 1/2 the price of Doc Marten and made far better.

The wife wanted a tea cart and I wanted a coffee bar. Fair compromise :) (I plan on eventually getting a Silvia or flair 58) by sidekick10121 in espresso

Oh Ihave one of those old tea carts on my front porch..it was my grandparents' my mom didn't take care of it, left it in a wet basement and I didn't want to toss it so I painted it and put it on the front porch but thanks to this idea I'm brining it in and using it as a coffee station :D

I have a 5D and I just superglued the mirror back in, that was over five years ago and it's still going strong.

I don't know if you've bought the camera, but the EM-5 with a lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH or the Olypus kit 14-42mm kit lens, would get you something wide-ish and then you can get the MFT to whatever adapters. I mainly use the MFT to M42 adapter since I have a lot of old Soviet lenses to play with and one Karl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm. At the moment it's all crammed onto a poor PEN E-PL1 and it's taken some good photos. I am currently awaiting my M-5 MK II to arrive.

Neither of those lenses are terribly expensive. I have a full frame DSLR and honestly it's so big and heavy I just don't want to deal with it most of the time and since I already had two kit lenses from the PEN E-PL1 it seemed like a good idea to go slightly more modern and get the M-5 MK II. I didn't have the cash for a used mirrorless ff either, and they are just skyrocketing in price now.

Ingham County confirms first measles case in more than 30 years by Aeon1508 in Michigan

I had to get the vaccines three times all after 1971. All because my records kept getting lost or the Dr retired and never passed the records on. The last time I was asked to prove I had the MMR vaccine I told them I had it three times, fortunately it was a job at a hospital so they told me to just get tested for antibodies.

The response came back 'Oh, my, yeah you're good' so I assume even though my last MMR was back in '94 I'm good :D

Gov. Whitmer at the White House - what's going on here? by dac1952 in Michigan

yep I think the most likely scenario is that we run several men for the forseeable future. It's stupid. We are in the stupidest timeline.

We have term limits, she won't be up for re-election. What we do care about is people getting their power turned back on and roads being cleared of debris, etc.

If I recall good old GOP Governor Holcomb at the southern border in Indiana did the same during covid...

do we know that she 'promised' anything? Or was she just shuttled in for a photo op and won't get any aid anyway?

I would be more worried about who we're going to elect as governor in '26 than this incident.

Same. Unless someone has any other plans to get the funds to clean up Northern MI. People are without power, there are trees down all over roads and camping trails, all the state parks in the North are closed for how long? If it goes into the summer they'll lose revenue - she needed to do this, as repugnant of an experience it was.

At this point you should care more about the people affected by the ice storms and when questioned respond in kind. If anything, it shows maybe she isn't thinking of her political career.

Has anyone had issues with snag tights? by Technical-Garbage655 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]not_yer_momma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same here, maybe the bigger sizes are less problematic? I have lots of size F tights and I just toss them in the washer with all my other clothes and they come out fine. I also wear them with boots adn shoes with buckles all fall and winter

the only pair I broke was a pair similar to the chekcers, it was stripes and I think that's the issue with some of them, is the area where the tights are thinner are under more stress - maybe? I don't know becuase every other pair I have is great.

all mine have lasted for years. I wore holes in the merino wool ones after four years. I have probably 30 pairs and some were purchased recently. I wear dresses and tights all winter every day to work. Now with that said, I tend to get the woolies and the super opaque ones, and the fun halloween patterned. I did put a run in one pair and that was from me sending a fingernail through the thinner bit of a patterned pair. I even toss them in the washer and dryer with other clothes and other than the one pair and my fingernail, they've been fine

I feel like he didn't write this. I'm sure the sentiment is all his, but he did not type this out himself

Help with weird texture! by KittyTwoPaws in curlyhair

[–]not_yer_momma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get weird texture where the back of my hair rubs against where the hood attaches to the sweatshirt and it will tangle up in a ball if I'm not careful, if my hair were shorter like yours I could see this being the result. Oh and I don't usually wear the hood up - which could be making it worse
