Reply to comment by MrRabidBeaver in Redback boots, only a year old but they’ve seen a lot and are still the comfiest shoes I own by FattyBolgerIV
Thanks so much for this very helpful info! I'm an avid gardener, so I'm always on the hunt for a really good boot and will give Redbacks a try! Any model in particular? Which ones did you get? ❤️

Reply to Alternatives to OtterBox Defender? by [deleted]
Been a Pixel person for maybe 4 years now, currently have the 7 Pro. I use Spigen off Amazon, affordable and seems to work well. I've dropped my phone plenty, haven't ever had a cracked screen or anything

I have this exact one bought in 2002, it's still going strong.

Yeah I feel like at that price point I’m defiling a work of true craftsmanship just to have holes out in them. Maybe down the road though, those sheets look amazing

Yeah looking like we may just have to buy cheap ones instead of spending decent money trying to find a unicorn.

Reply to Ergonomic Office Chair by FriscoJanet
Steelcase chairs are fantastic and they make them for really big folks. I think their normal models are rated up to 400 pounds and they've got a larger version than that.
Keep in mind there's a ton of fraud in "big and tall" office furniture. More than once I've found a chair ostensibly rated for like 350-400 pounds that had a base and casters rated for 200.

Sophie the giraffe teething toy for babies. It’s $25 but has lasted 7 years. My Westi plays with it everyday. Available on Amazon.

2 years ago, I bought a pair of Redbacks and Blundstones to compare them.
I’ve had Blundstones before and enjoyed them. I did find that there is usually a 2-3 month break in period. There isn’t a break in with Redbacks.
That pair of Blundstones was replaced through warranty after 18 months as the leather had cracked. My Redbacks still look like new.
Blundstones are not good winter boots. They don’t have the best traction. Redbacks on the other hand are much more robust and have great traction in the winter.
With that being said, I really like both and would be content with either. However, my Redbacks are just so comfortable.

Yep, their base model jumped from $700 to around $850 within the last couple years.

Do you have any recommendations for one of these with a hand crank that clamps onto the table (not suction cups)?

Reply to Looking for an Egyptian cotton goose down comforter (1000+ thread count & 1000+ fill power) by Ok_Marsupial6435
Not sure if you are aware of the suffering that goes on so you can have the goose feathers but you might look into it. I had goose down many years ago and when I realized it I never had one again. I currently have a $50 down alternative oversized king comforter from Belk that is way fluffier than any goose down I’ve ever had. I have the most beautiful duvet cover on it and it is so warm that I sometimes get hot under it. Right now it’s 30 degrees and I was hot under it last night.

Have had this some one since 2006! It’s had a few parts replaced but still works like new.

Reply to Dresser/Chest of Drawers than can be repeatedly assembled for apartment life? by cyriouslyslick
Wicker furniture is sturdier than something like those plastic drawers, or what Ikea offers, and it's fairly lightweight.

I like my Piper sandals. Haven’t tried the flip-flop variety, but they are very good quality and comfortable. Not sure how they hold up with salty water though. https://www.pipersandals.com/
