I got my first PLG bag 3 weeks ago. I’m obsessed with it. It’s beautiful. It’s a small meadow koala.

I don’t want the leather to crack/get damaged. What are some care products to take care of it? Conditioners etc?

Ordering anything from the PLG website is very expensive for me, as I’m in Canada, so bonus if the product is available from Amazon.ca

Did you qualify for medical EI for your surgery? I’m in BC and my surgery was listed as ‘elective’ for endo.

Please rave to me about all your favourite plastic free coffee making. I don’t care the price, I’m a coffee nerd. I bought a French press and it is not doing it for me.

Before my plastic free journey I used:
Aeropress - fairly decent, but I don’t like how long/much work it takes to make 1 cup, I’m always making a cup for the spouse as well
Breville espresso machine - this was the ultimate, and I was incredibly sad to lose it in a divorce and could never justify purchasing another. But maybe now I can.

Day four PO. I’ve tried laxatives, I’ve gone off the pain meds that had constipation as a side effect, the gas really isn’t so bad….
I’m moving around a decent amount.

But I just feel so backed up. That’s what’s making me uncomfortable.

I was in the best shape of my life before this surgery, very active with lots of lean muscle mass.

Any tips appreciated.

After a wild amount of research and lots of questions you all helped me answer my small meadow koala finally arrived. It’s so sturdy, smelled like leather right out of the box. Even my mother, an avid purse collector in her 60s gasped when I opened the box. “You will have that for life” she said as her fingers grasped the leather. The colour is perfect, the finish is perfect. I looked up all sorts of distressing videos assuming I’d want to break it in or wear it down, but I love it just the way it is.

It’s the perfect size to hold my iPhone, wallet, keys, chapstick, pill container, a couple hair ties, and wayfarer sunglasses. Might even get a mini sunscreen in there as well.

In all honesty what inspired me to get this is wanting somewhere to put my wallet, phone, and keys while I wore a sundress and rode the quad around town. I’m summer. And I was tired of shoving my pockets full of my things in the winter. This fits the bill perfectly.

Any suggestions? I’m in Canada. Most I see have a lot of plastic in the lid

Hi. I have a 4 hour layover in Calgary. My friend who lives there is leaving the country and wanted to gift me his guitar. WestJet website says it needs to be checked if it’s too big…. But can I just gate check it instead like a stroller?

Hi! Like the title says

I need some with zero elastane.

I work in a heavy arc flash risk environment and I’m looking for cost effective zero percent synthetic fibre sports bras and panties to wear under my clothes

I am small busted and not running or anything, so it doesn’t have to be wildly supportive

Looking for a windshield sun shade to protect my ford. Anybody got a recommendation for one that fits? Located in Canada, 8th gen f250

I bought a property. It has a gopher problem. We do not have gophers where I am from.

I plan on solving that in a few ways…. But I’m going to put a brand new garden on this property, and for the first time in my life I get to build and design from scratch instead of working with what was already there. How do I ensure they don’t get in there and steal my food? Raised beds with solid bottoms? Maybe I underlay 1/4” metal mesh under the whole damn thing? I’m open to all suggestions, as I have a very blank very large canvas to work with.

My fella and I recently drove all the way to Columbus from Canada for Buckeye Country Superfest. We spent a couple days down there, staying at the motel 6 on the west side of town. Thanks to recommendations of people on this sub we went antique browsing in Clintonville.

We had a wonderful time. The biggest thing we noticed was everyone was SO NICE.

Everywhere.

The cashiers at Walmart. The state troopers directing traffic before and after the show. The guy at the ice cream place. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced that amount of unwavering friendliness.

Just wanted to say thank you, you are all lovely. 🥰

Would love to hear anybody’s experiences with farm credit Canada for farm loans.

I was having so much of a struggle trying to get the right amount of water to mix colours or do wet in wet. If you’ve been thinking about grabbing a spray bottle to assist you, this is your sign to do so.

I just switched from a 20$ amazon set to pro grade and HOLY PIGMENT!

But everything keeps turning out so dark.

How are you adding water to your mixing pans? Spray bottle? Dropper? The brush doesn’t see to get enough in there.
