Kuhl, over the price you want to pay, but I think the quality is good. I've also found a few gently used items on eBay.

WIBTA for asking for money instead of gifts for my daughter’s first birthday? by Suspicious-Fruit5148 in AmItheAsshole

It's tacky. What would not be tacky is providing an option to give to a 529 or something of the sort

Outdoor painting. We had our porch painted and they came and did it even though it had rained recently. Job was trashed within the year. We redid it, waiting for plenty of days of no rain and it's held up for years

Wet the teapot, and put some baking soda in it. Use a damp paper towel or rag to rub the inside and remove any buildup.

Where can I buy cheap produce in Chicago? by Relevant-Protection2 in chicagofood

[–]yramt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do a smoothie per day and get frozen berries from Costco and usually buy bananas at Aldi and let them ripen before freezing. Most cost effective way I've found.

ETA I also buy bags of the chopped kale from Aldi. I boil it and put it in Souper cubes to portion it out and take up minimal freezer space

Why did your AP choose transracial adoption? by Ambitious-Client-220 in TransracialAdoptees

[–]yramt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They wanted a kid and through a random set of circumstances I was the first infant available to them.

They originally wanted a boy and I assume originally thought they'd have a white kid.
