If you are a side sleeper, the Elviros Cervical Pillow on Amazon is legit!

Reply to comment by RedStag86 in Looking for various size glass food storage container set that all have the same exact lid by RedStag86
You’re not going to find too many things that fit this description because you wouldn’t be able to nest the containers in the cabinet when empty. If every container used the same size lid, when empty they would still take up a ton of storage space.
You’re best best will be mason jars or Fido glass storage jars. Very few people are going to buy 10 bowls/ container than have to be stored individually next to each other and can’t be nested when empty. It’s a huge waste of cabinet space.

Reply to Alternative BIFL for food saver machine? by judohero
I have an Avid Armor - Vacuum Sealer Machine AVS7900, that I bought on Amazon 2 years ago for $69 that works like a charm.

How lovely of you to bite the hand that feeds you. I literally told you how to buy BIFL flannel sheets and yet you felt the need to be a cockbag and snipe me for my last sentence. I am drawing one line through your name on my Christmas Card List.

Wide mouth Mason jars, they come in lots of sizes, have the same lid and are quite durable and inexpensive

Reply to BMW M leather jacket 40+ years old. I inherited it from my stepfather 20 years ago and wore it every year since then, like across fall & winter time. The zip is now broken, the color faded away but still - by far - my favorite jacket. by k7v1n
LPT take it to a local leathergoods shop. Usually they're locally owned and they do repairs. Get a new zipper and have the fading somewhat reversed.
Just did this with the 60 year old bomber jacket my grandfather left me. Cost a couple hundred bucks but so worth it.

Darning is also good. not sure for non textile arts. Maybe woodworking would be worth learning,

I don’t know about luxurious jersey sheets, but tbh a good set of flannel sheets is just as cozy and you can find them in all cotton. I have a set from LL Bean and they’ve held up well

I was just on their website, and it doesn’t appear that Pyrex has various size containers that all use the same lid.

I imagine you can get replacement lids, right?

Is that the snapware line or do they have another one?

Elephant Leather Preserve. Used it in my cars and furniture. It's amazing and a little goes a long way. It's not cheap($30) but I don't see that I'm gonna get through the tin.

Pyrex, except the lids fail over time. They are great while they work. And they last a long time. But eventually they will crack.

Can we all learn and repeat the following:
Unless you are using a Hewlett Packard or a Nokia 3310, your operating system has blue light settings you can use in Settings.

Good point, totally agree. I may have posted to the wrong sub. I’m not sure I want to keep sheets for life. After about two decades I start getting that wandering eye ;)

I replaced mine with the Casper ones on Amazon. They've served well. Also if your neck is hurting be sure to get a low fill/thin pillow.
