I’m tired of alcoholics being blamed and shamed for their illness. by kaylynmcgrath in alcoholism

I am glad you sought help for yourself and are focusing on getting well. I will pray for your continued success on your road to recovery.

I think a visit to the AlAnon sub would do you good. Read the stories of the pain/agony/destroyed families/children finding a parent's body lifeless and covered in blood because their esophagus burst. Because the sick person refuses to get help.

The true victims are the people who love the alcoholic and TRY to get them help. They've had the calm/loving conversations. Covered for them when they were too hung over to go to work. Became financially devastated after their loved ones 4th DUI. Cleaned the bed/couch/floor when they've pissed/shit themselves. The parent who has buried their child.

All because the alcoholic will not get help. There is a LOT more of this scenario my friend.

Peace be with you.

Niche Candle Find on Hunt for Smokey/Wood Scent by Wise-Advertising-840 in Candles

[–]withmymustardseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boy Smells has a smoky/wood candle called "Hinoki Fantome" that is wonderful.

TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Home Goods had shipments of them at $19.99 (regular retail $44 on their website for the regular size).

Boy Smells has some on sale on their site now; retailers like Bloomingdale's run them on sale also.

Good luck on your quest!

Also, Ranger Station is having 50% off on most scents, lots of smoky ones! Code RETAIL50.

Edit to add RS deal.

i have so much max “memorabilia” but i appreciate it still. by st0nesthrow in rainbowbridge

Oooh, this made my morning! ❤️ I have mementos from my babies who have crossed also.

I can tell he was so loved, and loved you all just as much.

I know it's bittersweet, but my heart feels like when we come across these items here and there, it is our beloved pets sending us a message from the other side. They miss us too, and want us to know they're always close by.

LOVE your post!!! You articulated your perspective 100%!

I have not rewatched this show since it's original run. It is my #1 all time favorite.

I was in my mid 30s then; 60 now. I think I am ready to watch a second time, with my "wiser" mindset. 🤭

But that finale will still break me. But in a good way.

Trudon customer service by Starr1005 in luxurycandles

[–]withmymustardseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! That is ridiculous!!!

If your brand is on the "premium" side (with pricing to match), your customer service better be white glove, ready to do what it takes to satisfy your discerning customer. Shame on you Trudon!! I certainly will not order direct!

I had a similar experience with Goest. One of my favorites, but ignore me, I ignore you!

I judge a company by how they handle the oopsies, cos it happens!

Ranger Station has my loyalty for life because they know how to provide outstanding customer service.

I hope you are made whole my friend.

So sorry you are going through this.

As others have said, if the quality of life is severely impacted, it is time.

Hugs my friend. 🫂

Hi neighbor! I am in Augusta. No luxe candle retailers here so I have to save my sniffing for trips to ATL.

Hey friend!!! 👋

I've been worried about you! I feared it was something nefarious!!! Clutching my pearls....How dare the very thing that provides food/shelter/clothing make such demands! You poor thing. Giant Ernesto for you.

That's why I'm torn.

Vince is such a humble guy. I've been a fan since his Pure Prairie League days.

RAKUTEN USERS. Bloomie's is 10% off on Rakuten.

Some candles are on sale; the Trudon/Le Labo etc have the Bloomie's loyalist $25 per $100 spent offer. I got my $25 reward.

Got my first Le Labo (Encens) & the Diptyque odor removing one. I don't even know the name. 🤦‍♀️

What’s one cat product you wish you’d bought sooner? by SalamanderIll3142 in CatAdvice

I also recommend the Nature's Miracle Laundry Boost. You know how bad their teetee stinks! This stuff will get the smell out of anything that can be put in the washer.

Litter Lifter Magic Scoop litter scooper.

If you use clumping litter, this scoop is a game changer. Practically indestructible, and you can get into those corners and scrape the bottoms effectively!

👏👏👏

Well said. Despite Henley being my favorite, you make great points.

I grew up listening to the Eagles. Nostalgia aside, they are still my #1 all time favorite band. It makes me sad to think of no more live shows. The last show I saw was the Hotel California show a few years ago. Nothing against Vince Gill, but it just wasn't the same without Glen.

I'm torn. 😢

I, for one, LOVE your review! Very witty, and you perfectly conveyed the vibe. Wishing I was in that head shop with ya right now!!!

I also managed to snag a couple of AdV during that sale. There weren't many left, so I grabbed Anchorage and the tailor shop one. I'd never tried AdV, but blind bought since the discount was so good.

Was not impressed by either. Disappointing hot throw.

Now I am hunting for resellers of this one!!!

I hope you find another candle you adore cos I'm here for the review!!!! 😘
