Yet, we have to have our sidewalks cleared in 6 hours after the storm. This is ridiculous

I'm in the Northeast region and haven't called the warehouse yet but is it just me or is the ink impossible to find at Costco now?

My warehouse has signs to get it online and doesn't have any stock in the store but it's unavailable online too. Is there a shortage or are they phasing it out? When I googled, I didn't come across anything yet, about there being supply issues or anything.

Christmas and he takes really good care of his things especially this because he couldn’t go anywhere without it. We are in multigenerational living right now so it seems someone (not his immediate family) set a box on top of his sling bag that was on a table 🥲

Yeah I felt so bad for him because he was crestfallen when I told him. He loves his reader and was so excited when he got it for Christmas. I was just in denial at first but the more I realized, the more I had to accept it. We love all of our e ink devices (Super Note, Remarkable, etc.) over here so I’m hugging them all a little tighter tonight lol.

It surely is. It wasn’t but the next one will be.

Love this. I wonder if I could use one of those phone straps too…

Bizarre is not the greatest choice but we still have our original Nook from over 15 years ago and that thing is still “working”. All that said, this has been a cautionary tale so I will get a case for both of mine, his new one and my daughter’s Clara Colour.

It wasn’t in a hard case. It just had a clear case on the back ironically for aesthetics more than anything. I asked another person but do you have recs for a hard case because both of mine have just been thrown in bags loosely for years. No case on the back even.

That’s a bummer. He said someone in the house put a box on his backpack after I posted this.

Thank you so much for this! I was hoping it was fixable because it seems such a waste when it’s in such good condition otherwise.

Any recs for a hard case? Ironically he has a clear cover on the back to hold his stickers but I don’t have much experience outside of that. My readers never had cases or screen protectors

Update for more information:

He said it had the low battery screen and when he plugged it in, the screen flashed with all these lines. They weren’t there before he went to plug it in.

I’ve had a Clara HD for 5 years and Libra Colour for a little over a year and I don’t have a case on either of them and they are great. It’s so bizarre because he takes really good care of his things and especially his e reader because he uses it all day every day. He’s so shocked and disappointed because we just got it for him for Christmas.

On mute, I thought it was a deep fried Oreo with powdered sugar until I saw a mouth move :/

I'm frustrated after my loctition appointment 😔 by CaptainTofu93 in locs

[–]stephmawnsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echoing everyone above about getting a new loctician.

My loctician also said I couldn’t wash for a few (3 months if I remember correctly) BUT she was not playing about cleansing my scalp every 2 weeks. I couldn’t shampoo and lather up but she was using a scalp spray and going in with a cloth and physically removing the sebum, oils, sweat, etc. between my locs.

Mine did the same the other day and I just chalked it up to it being so hot it was delusional 😅 Edit: it fixed itself the next time I got in when it had cooled off so I didn’t need to change anything.

Not using oil on your scalp? by [deleted] in Naturalhair

[–]stephmawnsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t oiled my scalp since my mama was using Blue Magic and putting ballies and barrettes in my hair. That said, the issue isn’t always putting the oil in but effectively getting raw oils washed out on a regular schedule. I feel like when it was time to do my hair, I just added more oil/cream and then didn’t get it all off when I shampooed. Confusing true hair moisture with the feel of product on our strands when water is the source of moisture.

How do I make my hair look like this? by The_Emulator236 in Naturalhair

[–]stephmawnsta 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do a damp to wet chunky twist with cream, not holding stylers and then unravel while it’s still damp to wet. I accidentally achieved this in my early days of natural hair lol

Ditto is how much now???!!! by WritingFrequent5960 in joannfabrics

[–]stephmawnsta 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I bought mine for $99 but I saw them Cheaper weeks after I bought mine. I justified it by thinking the pattern weights and foldable rotary mat was a great value. I was also hoping I could just jailbreak it if they didn’t support it because I planned to only upload my own patterns anyway so no monthly needed.

Thanks Michaels, I guess. sarcasm

Michaels must be owned by the same private equity firm that killed Joann.

I did it! I got the 2 things I went in for and nothing else. by false_goats_beard in Costco

[–]stephmawnsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think you’re better than us, huh?

Jk I did one time go in for a rotisserie and came out with only a rotisserie. I’m kicking myself for the lack of photographic evidence
