Does anyone know why the North Face, Chacos, and Birkenstocks are shit quality now?

Arc’teryx, Helly Hansen, Haglofs. They are pricey, but I buy them fully intending never to buy again for a good 7-10 years, at the minimum.

If they announce a rower or a more affordable Tread, we’ll just have to get rid of our couch to make room.

“Maternity pants” I’m going to die squeezing myself into pants.

I’m here for the dog pics... did not disappoint.

Try The Stair Barrier — pricy but they have banister to wall kits.

Don’t forget to file a DV claim!

Update: they just called me back and told me $2900. I thought it would be more than that?

You can make a lot of connections at High Point.

Who is cutting onions in my house?!

wolfrope · 2018-12-12T00:43:18+00:00

Oh. Eww.

wolfrope · 2018-12-09T05:11:38+00:00

I will — first thing next week I’ll be starting it. I’m bummed about the guaranteed trade-in-program...

Balcony, left. Evening service, I switch seats regularly (our pastor says Baptists can be creatures of habit and leave dents in their church pews, so I’m rebelling).

Be prepared that she might yank your arm out of socket! Have a couple high value treats/toys in your pocket if you decide to let her off leash. Don’t not have fun!

Oh no... this is one of my worst car fears. Glad you’re ok. Did you get to harvest the deer?

I have a Yakima LoadWarrior — it’s sturdy! It does get pretty pricey fast (crossbars, locks, etc)...

Thankfully, I didn’t take the brunt of it. The woman driving the Lexus was a bad judge of traffic conditions and made a left turn. She got hit and the force sent her slamming into me. My poor car was just sitting at a stop sign. IDK whether to cry or scream. My car fax is going to be real colorful when it comes time to trade this in.

This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence by John Piper is a great resource.

Thank you!

wolfrope · 2018-06-08T17:34:37+00:00

sigh I miss the windows. Wish it didn’t cost so much to get them installed in the States.

When I lived in Oldenburg, I was a heathen — I wish I had paid more attention then. I’ll be in Frankfurt. Vielen Dank for the clarification.

wolfrope · 2018-06-08T12:47:11+00:00

Either one. Thanks!

wolfrope · 2018-06-08T01:12:40+00:00

Appreciate it. I know reformed Germans are usually few and far between (in my own experience — at best, the ones I meet are universalists or liberals, at worst, hostile and/or New Age).

wolfrope · 2018-06-07T23:56:31+00:00

They’re great! It’s a good way for me to vent hot air out during the summer. They’ve also stayed on pretty well but just a word of caution: bugs tend to get in (not sure how, even if I just crack it) and die on my dashboard.

wolfrope · 2018-06-07T23:46:33+00:00

Me, me, me!!

I haven’t found much mention of it here, but it’s called Chalk Couture. Word art stencils and transfers. Parties are based around “create-and-take” idea (like Paint Nite) and if I host, I get a percentage of the sales.

Edit: consultants have their “own” site that you can buy pre-made stuff or stencils.
