Reply to comment by GodlessAristocrat in BIFL: Car battery starters on the cheaper side by pglggrg
"The NOCO GB40's can last a very long time due to the cycle capabilities of the lithium battery, the key is to charge them once every 6 months if they are in storage."
This is the one I have.

A cordless power brick, that charges cars and electronic devices. Look up NOCO starter. With one of these you don't need another car to jump-start.
I have one , saved my butt more than once.

I meant that I don't want to see the bulb, or most of it, when I'm sitting down next to the lamp. Trust me, for a floor lamp next to you when you're sitting you don't want one of the tall ones.

The shorter ones seem to be 58". I'd recommend one that can handle 3-way bulb.
I love lamps.. I have 6 in my living room, not counting the light of my ceiling fan. Only one turned at a time, unless it's a really dark day.

Determine what height you prefer. They're not all the same height. My personal preference is one that, when I'm sitting down next to it, I can't see the whole bulb exposed while looking up at it.

Reply to Bought the most expensive vacuum I’ve ever purchased at the recommendation of BIFL. Returning it just days after it arrived. by dishungryhawaiian
I had a Miele upright. One little plastic part on it broke, couldn't be replaced and the vacuum would not pull vacuum without it. And yes, I bought it from a professional vacuum shop that sold & serviced Miele. Miele, never again.

Some models come with timers where you can set the time for it to come on & shut off. Once set it's always in effect until you physically change it.
I have 5, one in every room. They are the on-time models. They stay on pretty much all the time but I adjust the temp on them for daytime and sleeping time.
I wouldn't use any other type of heating even though my house has newer HVAC.

Old GE alarm clocks made in USA
New alarm clocks made in China
My 1980s GE alarm clock radio survived 6 moves, with 50% of them being across the U.S.
My higher end (supposedly) Chinese-made alarm clock radio bought in the 2010 decade didn't even last 2 years before the clock-readout numbers started disappearing.

Personally I would skip the molded one. Can you return a pillow to those sellers if it doesn't seem right for you? I know you can on Amazon, for free.

The latex pillows do come as "firm".
Look on Amazon, lots of them there.

I have 100% latex pillows and I sleep every which way. That's the best thing about natural latex pillows, no matter what position you're in they mold to your head and neck like they're customized just for you. Not the molded or pre-shaped kind. Not a hybrid. 100% Talalay or Dunlop latex.

Reply to Female/Women's Wallet by courtFTW
There are probably a thousand leather wallet brands out there that would hold up. I've had mine for at least 15 years. It's the kind that holds a checkbook, if you want. I think it's by Giani Bernini.
In my opinion there is no finer leather than Italian leather. Italy has been renown for many many decades for its leather goods.

You'd have to look at them online - they're sold by several stores - find pieces that would fit what you're looking for, and then see what they're made of. Just enter "Cuddl Duds" into an internet search - lots of options for them will come up. Especially Kohl's, if you're in the U.S. Big sale on them at Kohl's.

Reply to Aran wool sweater question by doomaflotch
Depends on the seller. Most of Amazon's sellers are now Chinese, with clothing going by Chinese "brand" names of clothing. There must be (almost literally) a million "brand" names of clothing made in China. So, is it really an Aran sweater?
