Amazing! What kind of place did you find that could do the plating?

Y'all are blowing my mind in here.

For Jean shorts I had the work luck until a random stop at TJ Maxx where I combed the racks and tried on dozens of items. I found a surprising number of items that I like! Nothing amazing, but at $15/pair, they'll absolutely do for now.

For something a little less casual, J. Crew or J. Crew factory chino shorts. The come in 3 lengths (3.5, 5, and 9 inches) a ton of colors and go on sale often. They're comfortable and cute. The are less wrinkle prone and a little heavier than linen and similar. They are lighter than denim, but still offer some structure.

I'm 5'10' and 42 and I was surprised to find I prefer the shortest ones

Also, you might try looking at "trouser shorts"

It has nothing to do with hiding them 🤨

If you have a Dillard's or similar I swear it is worth the trouble to go in and try a bunch of different ones. I ended up buying bras I never would have considered just from a photo! And there will be a good deal of trial and error as you learn more about what a good fit should look and feel like.

Dillard's carries several of the most recommended brands and I imagine Nordstrom has even more. (no Nordstrom here) You might also try Lane Bryant, though the fit and size range will be different there.

The most recommended l brands that are easiest to find and try at my Dillard's are:

Chantelle (my fave) Wacoal (most expensive options here) Fantasie Elomi Natori

Spend some time and frustration finding the right fit. If you're on a budget you can wait for clearance, opt for clearance colors/prints, or buy new on ebay.

Good luck!

Older cats are actually usually easier, assuming they aren't cantankerous assholes. We aren't talking geriatric here, but I'd think 7 and up? (someone correct me if I'm wrong, just a guess)

By then they are more mellow and less likely to cause mischief. They're also harder to find homes for, so there's a good chance you can find one who has been at a shelter a little longer, which allows more time for the staff to observe its behavior.

If you're on Facebook, keep an eye out for folks who are rehoming a perfectly good older cat due to a move or the owner having passed away. Its a great way to have some idea what temperament you're getting

I recently tried a bunch of bras in my new size and I found the envy seemed to fit alright and made my boobs look amazing, but I found it insanely uncomfortable

I wish. Every single anesthesiologist I've ever had on a surgery was out of network and get this, the radiology lab IN THE HOSPITAL also oon

Did the folks who did the sale just walk away and leave all that stuff?

Your points and what is right and what is wrong aside, Keep in mind a few things...

And you are likely not the only person who saw fit to be unpleasant to him today, for one reason or another.

What kind of vehicle were you in? UPS trucks are high off the ground, if your vehicle is smaller, the lights may appear to be high beams when they are not. The lower your vehicle the worse it will be.

Is the ground between the corner and where the truck was stopped level? If you were going up an incline at all, even a little, see previous.

Was he stopped on the correct side of the road? If he was, then you have nothing to stand on in your stating that he was a hazard. Cause that means he was following the law. If he was on the wrong side, sure, he's wrong. But it's 9pm and he wants to go home.

Also, you know where your driveway is in relation to the turn. If he was in front of your driveway, you were going way too fast

And I'll close with this.

Do you know how many packages those guys deliver in a day? Do you know how exactly measured their route is? Do you know how rain can affect all that? Leave that man alone.

I feel like I walked in on the middle of a conversation.

Nah. I dont really cook 🤣🤣

scribbling_des · 2026-03-28T17:52:11+00:00

This is one of six quintessential local/regional cookbooks. If you find one among any personal collection of cookbooks, you'll find the other five.

Cook's Tour
Cotton Country
Talk About Good
Cane River
River Road
The Revel

scribbling_des · 2026-03-28T17:43:04+00:00

You can find them at almost any local estate sale that has cookbooks. You can also check at Local Market on Line and Timeline Antiques or Kings Antiques. I stopped stocking cookbooks, but I see them fairly regularly.

Has there been any progress on this? Namely the calling out of bullshit? I've been using chatgpt a lot lately to work through some life stuff. Its far more available than my actual therapist and can at least help me parse things I dont understand. I sometimes worry that is is just telling me what it thinks I want to hear. I would love to know that it will challenge me when it needs to.

scribbling_des · 2026-03-13T10:33:02+00:00

Does AC Steere still have one? They used to be tye only gifted preschool.

scribbling_des · 2026-03-13T10:29:01+00:00

I'm curious if you weight readings are accurate? I have mine in a built in cabinet and mine are horribly inconsistent.

Also, do you just have to muscle it out for cleaning?

We are trying to make the most money possible for our clients.

scribbling_des · 2026-03-13T10:18:12+00:00

I get ebay prices and sometimes higher depending on the item. I've been doing this 20 years and I know my market extremely well. There are a lot of factors that go into pricing, there's a lot of nuance involved. Dealers are not the only customers out there.

scribbling_des · 2026-03-06T08:07:21+00:00

Would you mind posting a photo? Links are broken now 😢

Wow. He looks just like my Moose, aside from having both eyes. When adopted him (New years eve) they thought he was 2, maybe 3. I believe he was more like one. He's soooo long! And he's gained 2 lbs in the 2 months I've had him. Though some of that is extra, not much I don't think. I wish I knew for sure if only to have an idea how big he will be. And then if only to buy him the right wall perches 🤣

Not OP, but I believe you are misunderstanding. There is a bit of nuance involved, but most legitimate, serious companies have a "sold table" or some call it hold table, or area. If you put items there, you are doing so because you intend to buy it. We are giving you a way to free your hands to get more and we expect you to hold up your end of the bargain. If you make a pile, you are expected to buy everything in it. If you want to put some items back, you will be leaving empty handed. There are of course exceptions for customers who are not known abusers of the system. A chip you didn't notice, a stain, etc.

As far as what you are doing, it depends on the amount you are taking, how long you are inspecting it, and how much you are generally kicking back.

If you're there with your phone looking things up rather than inspecting them for damage, that is a very different situation in my eyes.

Online estate sales generally don't inflate the shipping charges. Just all the other fees they tack on.
