I am very curious about Zuri, as it always shows up in my FB feed. I don't know anyone who has purchased from them.

I found a sweater at a goodwill ‘dale of Norway’ and not only is it wool, but it’s lined… Worn it for two winters now and can stand in 20F weather and feel comfy. Paid 5.99 and these retail around 3-400 and higher..

Fribees are great. Dogs really know how to wear out their toys lol.

The Kong one is really good if your dog doesn’t chew on it. Plus it’s not hard on their teeth at all when they catch it

As it’s a Vibram sole, it’s probably good quality for the thickness. It’s pretty thin though, by design of course.
In my experience, the soles of such barefoot shoes wear down very little, as you don’t wear out the heels like you would with traditional shoes.
Depends on how often you wear them. The quality seems good.

This comment is the truth. I have been focusing on buying from brands that feel higher quality and have some sort of ethical compass, but being able to repair a hole will make clothes last a lot longer regardless of the quality.
Furthermore, properly washing and drying them also goes a long way. Actually reading the tags and washing them in cold and only drying things you know aren’t going to shrink will make things last much longer.

For YEARS my aunt had an analog clock that sings a different bird song on every hour. I'm certain they still make them. I thought it was a nice change from a chime.

I use a watch with an hourly chime. Casio has quite a few good sturdy workhourse watches with this feature. Timex has them too, but they switched to plastic watchfaces and now they scratch easily. My watch also has a built in timer. I press the timer button to get a get a 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 minute timer. Use it for my tea at least twice a day! And it is good if you are into Pomodoro method type techniques for time management and to time rest periods between weightlifting sets.
Mine is a Casio 3225 W-214 HC. The plastic watchband is garbage, but was easy to just swap out with a nice black metal flat link one and you'd never know it wasn't stock. There are several variations.

You might be into something there! I like dogs more than people, but I just don’t see a reason to downvote 2 comments in a row specially with a self deprecating joke!

I looked it up online an there are a few used ones on Amzn in case you really really need a replacement (or to use as parts).

On newer versions of iOS you can set up focus modes and have it silence certain apps and notifications depending on time of day or your location.

I use it to block work emails or social media, depending on whether I'm at home or at work.
There should be something similar in android too
