confused that they're cheap for quality leggings? Or do you mean quality unique-looking leggings? Or are my leggings crappier than I think?

I mean, for top quality handmade stuff with neato prints they're cheap as chips. I paid $150 for a pair of donut print butt shorts in the same spandexy material. I can afford to buy like, one pair a year and I've had my oldest ones for 5+ years, never faded or stretched even.

Oooh gotcha. I also realized I wasn't translating the $ amounts from AUD to USD, and that made everything sound more expensive. I don't have any BM leggings, I do have a couple handmade pairs of what are essentially burnt velvet knockoffs, but they don't have the same weight or quality. I know that because I do have the black burnt velvet maxi sleeveless dress from BM, and that thing is 1. as heavy as a lot of full-velvet stuff, like curtains, which isn't a problem, even in high summer, because its half mesh and very breathable, and 2. still looks brand new despite being about 4 years old and heavily worn.

Thank you for clarifying, also.

Oh, it's a shoe with a pedometer built in. That's not a completely terrible idea. I've literally gotten pedometers free in cereal boxes, but those couldn't talk directly to my phone so if I wanted my phone to know I would have had to enter it myself like a peasant.


I wonder what it is like to have such completely average/ideal feet that you can confidently mail order shoes.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it

I have a few questions.

• is the pedometer powered by a removable battery?
• if so, do you have to remove the entire unit to change it?
• and if so, how much space is left in the shoe?
• does the cavity get hot enough to warm up beef jerky?
• can I get them in yellow and red?
• whatcha gonna do when the Hulkamania runs wild over you?

I got some stuff in today. The final item from my initial shopping trip, a cool fabric poster for Frankenstein done in German Expressionist style. Also I got the first few of my anniversary sale items in--My jackolantern fridge magnets, and the kooky weather glass I'm giving to my mom for fun on her birthday in July. The magnets are surprisingly strong for being just doofy fridge ones. The poster is dope af, and they included poster stickies with it, but I'd rather frame it.

Some bunny stickers and a nail stamping plate for my friend, two cheap necklaces for me, and these two scrubbing things that are supposed to get built up grease and grime off the bottom of stainless steel pans (http://tinyurl.com/m8vc6a6).

:h: be good and try hard! :h:

I ordered some underwear from a seller on AE. Most of it was similar to the pair posted earlier in the thread, except with cute patterns printed on the fabric. My takeaways:

-They really are cotton - they shrink in the laundry!
-Comfortable and true to the size chart (before laundry shrinkage, ofc.)
-The cotton pairs are sturdy!
-Lacy pairs are comparable in quality to what you'll find at teen fashion stores like Forever 21, Rue 21, or Charlotte Russe - I literally already own a pair I ordered with a tag saying "Charlotte Russe". Same fabric, same cut, etc. That's cool, except those pairs tend to fall apart after a few wears. :saddowns: But it's less than half the price of buying it from those stores, so I can live with it.

I bought from this seller, F&M Underwear.

I also bought this dress from Nice-Forever during the sale. It's actually really good - the fabric is a nice stretchy cotton blend, and it looks nice on me. I'm super into it!


That said, I only mention it because I saw this dress at Target made of a thin, scratchy polyester fabric that costs twice as much. It's the same cut and everything, it just has little rabbits on the lapels and the fabric is garbage!!


So, I'd really recommend the AE dress over the Target one. It turns out if you go up one price tier on AE on clothing, you end up with a really reasonable department-store level of quality. :)

I've never had anything burned onto a stainless steel pan that I couldn't fix by boiling some water with salt or baking soda mixed in with it for a bit to loosen all the crud up, and as an added bonus that boiling water does a great job cleaning out your sink and drain/disposal. Also you don't have to worry about tiny shards of glass being lodged in the densest cluster of nerve endings outside of your erogenous zones.

Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis
After seeing this thread, I started ordering stuff. Most of what I ordered happened to be some bootleg lego.

Darth Malgus minifig

It looks pretty good. The quality is decent, except that the arms are a little stiff and the hands don't grasp well.

minifig weapons

These weapons are pretty high quality. The only problem was that the mortar had a couple pieces missing.

Imperial mini-walker

The pieces of this set hold together well and everything was included. I compared one of the minifig guns included with the set with the same design from a regular lego set. They're nearly identical. There were only a couple minor differences between them. The minifig that came with this set has an issue with the body and legs not staying attached well. Good set otherwise.

Minifig accessories

I bought some shields and torso covers. The pieces are high quality and just as good as regular lego pieces. It doesn't seem like the store has them in stock, but I imagine someone is probably selling similar pieces.

I didn't just buy fake lego pieces, but I thought the fake lego pieces were the most interesting of the things I bought.

It's mostly on the outside of the pan, not on the food touching part. I will try baking soda and lemon juice before trying the fiberglass sticks. If anything, they'll work really well on the drip pans on the gas stove. gently caress those things.

did you try steel wool? we cleaned up the grody drip pans on the electric stove here (the previous renters didn't clean them very well either lol) with steel wool and long soapy soaks; the bottoms of our pans are kinda gross too so maybe that would help..... hmm....

I can't wait to order stuff once we move, I have a bunch of poo poo in my wishlist to buy for the kitchen (not for food) and the bathroom :neckbeard:
