Recommendation for a Bathroom Scale? The fiance and I are starting to eat healthy and want to track our losses. I have this analog one from some big box store and I'm pretty sure it's off by ~5lbs. I'd like something digital and if possible the ability measure BMI (is that a thing?)

Sephiroth_IRA posted:For the whole bathroom? Use it on any visible stains that accumulate. Then depending on the type of bathroom shower you have choose a cleaner based on that. I know if you have a bath fitter type insert they recommend using Organic cleaners so it doesn't desolve the liner. I personally use whatever foam spray that I can get on sale.

2 Requests: 1. Good glass tupperware with snap on lids (the ones that clasp on all 4 sides) reasonably priced. I found a bunch at the dollar store around Xmas but cannot find anymore for the life of me. Pyrex is around $35 on amazon and I'd like to think I can get them elsewhere for much cheaper. 2. Place to buy good comfortable boxer/briefs. I've lost some weight recently and all of my boxers are rather loose. Somewhere with a measurements table would be a plus. Far too many times I get a medium based on the waist size to find that it holds my plums like a vengeful girlfriend. Both that will ship to Canada.

Cheap, lightweight glasses for running that can be purchased online. I used to use a pair of tinted safety glasses that sorta looked sporty to run but I can't for the life of me find them. Instead of going out to get another pair I was hoping to get a couple of burner pairs online. Shipping to Canada.

I'm looking for an electric heating blanket for my Fiance who is perpetually cold. I have no idea if they exist but are there any that can charge up and be used wireless? It'd be great to have the blanket charge up during the day at work so she could start it up when she get's home and get toasty.

Any recommendations for a Record player? I'd like to start collecting some favorite bands but we only have an all-in-one Record player unit. I'd love for something modern enough that I could pipe optical cables through it or not have to worry about old interfaces/hard to obtain parts. Not sure what sort of price range to expect honestly. I'm thinking this is a good start: http://www.amazon.ca/Audio-Technica...s=record+player m.hache has a new favorite as of 18:37 on Dec 4, 2015 |

Our oldschool Keurig is starting to die. We mainly use it for Hot Water and refillable K-Cups. I'm thinking its time we go back to a standard coffee pot but I want something good. I'm not sure which type will make the best coffee. I have an Aeropress right now which is great when it's just me having coffee but if my Wife or company wants a cup it's a pain in the rear end. Any suggestions for a nice Counter Top Coffee Maker? Bonus points if it can also churn out Hot water for when we want Tea.

As an additional bonus, the 9 cup model can brew individual cups (something the 12 cup doesn't). https://www.amazon.ca/8710100-Barista-Brain-Coffee-Silver/dp/B00YEYKK8U Amazon can suck it sometimes.

I use Dollar Shave Club. I've cut my subscription down to every second month and ordered a second Handle. The wife uses the blades to shave her legs and I'll use maybe one every month to edge out the beard. No real complaints on my side. When I was keeping a clean face I could shave with a fresh blade once a week, which was nice.

I'm looking for good coffee mugs (not travel mugs) that I can get with neat designs on them. Dishwasher safe, decent holding capacity. Really just want to know if there is a good site to order nerd type mugs. I had some from thinkgeek with the elemental symbol for caffeine on them but they wore off after one wash.

Our Keurig is starting to leak water onto the counter so I think it's finally time to replace. I'm looking for a coffee maker with the following (might be hard) 1. Can brew K-Cups 2. Can Provide Hot Water 3. Can brew Regular coffee I can hit points 1 and 2 by getting a regular keurig but I like to be able to make a pot when we have company over. Does a machine like this even exist? (And is it not a piece of trash?) I might just buy another Keurig honestly but just thought I'd throw it out there.

1redflag posted:Just a heads up that hot water from a K-cup machine tastes like coffee. So if your plan is to use the hot water for anything other than making coffee, you might want to adjust your plans. We drink Tea and Coffee now using water from the original K-Cup machine and haven't noticed any crazy coffee taste. The Hamilton Beach would create hot water from the carafe side so hopefully any coffee taste is captured by the Paper Filter. Thanks for the heads up though.

So I bought the Hamilton Beach Flexbrew and got Burned. Tastes like plastic it's insane. I've even done multiple cleanouts using all methods online I can find. I'm currently returning it. With this in mind, I'm looking for a Great Programmable Drip Coffee Maker and a Low Profile K-Cup machine. Counterspace is limited and I want to be able to make K-cup randomly for the wife or friends that come over (when a pot is not necessary). I'd also like to avoid that K-Cup 2.0 nonsense so I can get hot water out of the machine. Any recommendations for either request?

Yeah I was reading that up. I did some more research and came up with a combo I think will work. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01EA5ZHIA/ref=pe_386430_126088100_TE_item https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FJPSLJC/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That Mr. Coffee one is $200 CDN right now, so it was $100 cheaper to order it from Amazon.com, pay for duty AND factor in the exchange rate.

Decius posted:Don't know about small heads, since fit in the end is very much an individual thing, but the HyperX Cloud headset is really great for the price. Good mic, which you can remove, two kind of ear pieces (pleather and foam), does sound quite good for the price range. I've got a white version of these and can confirm they work very well and feel comfortable. With the adjustable headset I can get it as small as my opened hand. Unless you're dealing with a shrunken Voodoo sized type head you should be ok.

We've got a baby on the way and have two cats. I want to start preparing the cats to not go into the babies room as much as possible. We will be doing our best to keep a vigilant eye but cats are sneaky. Is there any device or product that you would recommend to condition the cats to avoid or ignore that room? They are very people centric so we are worries about them smothering the new born.

black.lion posted:I need a hanger thing that I can hang over a door (standard thickness?) that can hold a pretty heavy mirror (mb 25+lbs.) - I've found hangers on amazon that will fit my door, and hangers that can hold up to 30 lbs., but not one that fits both needs. Just a minor note, the door may be hollow but generally there is a 1-2" support that circles the outside. Theoretically you could screw something into the very top of the door and hit solid wood. Not sure what type of mirror you have though so if the hook is midway through the mirror it will sit higher than the frame.
