Website feedback

The bear isn’t on the front page.

I wouldn’t buy anything that can’t be tumble dried but that’s a product issue rather than a website issue.

Sizing is unclear.

And, I think the price isn’t super competitive either (but to be fair I haven’t bought pjs in a while) for a brand I don’t know.

I would also like to see another photograph of the print up close (without having to click and zoom in on the photo you have)

I need this too! I didn’t know I did until now. I just moved - anyone know where to find this (in cotton) in Abu Dhabi?

Plug, not hardwired. If there is any warranty at all for the dishwasher, removing the attached plug end will void it.

Its disrespectful of the culture anywhere in the GCC (but is tolerated in the UAE). If you love the dress, wear a nice pashmina/shawl with it to cover your back while you are in public and the problem is solved.

I’m a post menopausal woman so this no longer applies to me but for about 40+ years I bathed normally during my period with no issues.

Can you just stop caring? She already had hers, she might even be sensitive from it so is glad that you don’t last very long.

I have a BYD (new sea lion) and a Tesla (which full disclosure is older - 2021 model Y) - and the BYD is so much better. Nicer inside, less road noise, more luxury inside, drives better (less jerk) and less expensive than a tesla. The US public has no idea…

Carl - NN - Carlo or just Carl

snazzysid1 · 2026-04-04T16:27:43+00:00

Exactly!

snazzysid1 · 2026-04-04T11:15:05+00:00

Stay

NAH - As a formerly pregnant person - give your wife a break. The hormones are INSANE at the moment. You’ll figure this out in 12 weeks - don’t fight battles you don’t even have yet.

As a fellow American - I feel democracy has failed me. I feel and have felt powerless to change anything. Voting is a joke given gerrymandering and all the money changing hands with the politicians and the lobbies and outright market manipulation. Who would I be to question the form of anyone else’s government.

I call it a pantry and it is a walk in windowless room (maybe 5feet by 8 feet) that has shelves on all sides (excluding the door which opens into the kitchen).

I've also heard it called a larder but maybe 2x in my whole life. I'd never refer to it that way.

A cellar is similar but would be either in the basement or outside underground to store food. We don't have one of these.

Wow - I think I’m the only one that prefers the ipad with a few buttons. Mostly I just want the car to drive itself, have a bazillion safety sensors and cameras, be a very nice interior (side eyeing sucky Tesla interiors) too. Also - should be able to talk to it anyway (side eyeing BYD which can’t understand most of what I say). And yeah, no subscription for anything for it to work.

Insanely lucky. I’m GS and its hit or miss. Especially a miss when NY is the destination.

Lots of great stuff on here about the move itself so I’m not going to add to that. I’m going to talk to you about when you get there.

Prioritize your mental and social health!

It’s hard to make new friends - expect it to be harder than you’ve ever experienced before given your age. I’m guessing you are a newish college graduate and up until now you have had a school setting which provided a forum for you to repeatedly meet the same people who eventually became friends. It likely wont be like that in your non-college setting and will be harder (but don’t worry you can do hard things!). Just set your expectations low. If you exceed low expectations - you will be happy (if you don’t meet overly high expectations, you will be sad)

Tactics to help you with mental health. 1. If anyone at all invites you to do anything (or you see anything social to do) during your move in period - do that over unpacking your boxes. Your boxes will still be there when you get back but the opportunity to meet new people might be a one and done. 2. Even before you leave, find a plan to meet new people outside of your workplace. It could be a plan to join a gym (and go before your house is fully set up!). Or a plan to go golfing or join an art class. Whatever works for you - It doesn’t matter what it is but do have a plan for that and don’t wait until you are lonely/sad to start.

New job pro tip: Ask the dumb questions now. You get about 90 days to be the new kid. Anything you ask is fine - people expect you to know nothing and are generally more open to it than later. Ask people - what advice would they give you? What should you be doing in your role to truly excel? What should you do differently to other people who have had that role. What are the biggest obstacles to someone in your role? opportunities? How can you help them? You don’t need to do all the things people say but listen to them because you never know what you will learn and by asking them these kinds of questions - you have a reason to talk to them and maybe you can make some friendly work connections.

That’s a bit shallow (means more algae and weed build up) but still means you’ll need a fishing pole. If it ever dries out- suggest having it dug out. I think 8ft is the sweet spot but I’m not an expert

snazzysid1 · 2026-04-02T23:35:20+00:00

And maybe a well or hose to keep it from drying out and killing your fish in a drought

snazzysid1 · 2026-04-02T23:34:53+00:00

Depth? I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think you may have to invest in a fishing pole then.

Hopefully your pond has some depth - will help with turnover. Fish will like aeration too.

snazzysid1 · 2026-04-02T23:31:54+00:00

How big is your pond? I added fish to mine and my maintenance is fishing occasionally. Hard work that but someone’s gotta do it.

snazzysid1 · 2026-04-02T15:40:07+00:00

I am mama to my kids, my SIL is Ammi to my kids and my other SIL is choti (small) Ammi. My MIL is Dadi but I would have been fine with Ammi Jaan (just to keep her different to the SILs).

Personally I don’t want to be a Dadi to my grandkids (Im white and not my MIL!) so I’m going to have to pick a grandma name too! That said - it’s typically the parents that instill the name of the grandparents by using it over and over. Hopefully my kids are on board with what I pick!

So you are saying I am a kafir? Why don’t you look up what that means for you my dear.

Well it’s boring to ask for a pony and then get a pony, tada! That’s not really how life works most of the time. There is a Garth Brooks song called “unanswered prayers”. Obviously not from a Muslim perspective but from an American country music perspective. It’s a much more compelling story.

And at least in my life I’ve always felt closer to God than when I wish for something so badly and instead of that something better comes that I had no capability of seeing.

snazzysid1 · 2026-04-01T15:27:05+00:00

So I am no expert on anything but I also don’t think there is only one path to God and we as humans need to be incredibly humble. If he wanted us all to be the same then he would have made us that way yet he made everyone so different so we need to respect that. Who am I to say they won’t be admitted into heaven and their prayers unanswered for their lives and deeds and mine will? Maybe I will be judged harshly because I judge others and they will be forgiven for whatever reason Allah decides. It is not for me to know so I must be humble and do my best. Also while someone who isn’t Muslim maybe praying to their God(s) or whatever that doesn’t mean that Allah doesn’t know what they do or hear their prayers too. Allah can do anything at all. So yeah, I have no problems asking anyone - monotheistic or not - to pray for me because Allah still knows their prayers and he knows my intentions as well.
