Some examples- I have some hand me down all clad pans and pots and I am curious if they are still making high quality goods. I read that Chanel bags have severely declined in quality while prices only continue to rise.

EDITED TO SAY- i have my parents' Craftsman tape measurer from when i was a child and my husband just dropped it and now its not retracting by itself so hes trying to fix it 😞 if he cant fix it, im going to scour ebay for the exact one. its at least 30 years old

I can't tell you how many times i've overcooked chicken breast when the recipe calls for 5-6 hours slow. This time I checked it at 2.5 hours and it was done (and was probably done before the 2.5 hours). I think my pulled pork was done hours early as well. The only time you can do "low" on the crock pot is 8 or 10 hours. I guess those are for much larger batches of food?

i've been strength training since around september. when i've worked out in the past, i experienced my thighs getting stronger so my pants would be too tight in the thigh area. i'm experiencing that again but now some of my tops are tighter across the back too. i have a slender build naturally in my shoulder area so i'm not appreciating that my body is getting stronger and instead i am frustrated. i already have a hard time finding clothes that i am comfortable in. i am 5'2, 30E chest, with a figure 8 shape (my hips sit high, almost right under my bust and my butt is pretty flat), i have a tummy, and my pant rise is odd so it is extremely difficult to find pants that dont bunch in the front when i walk (and now the thicker thighs are making it that much more difficult as well). so all of these factors are making me feel uncomfortable in a lot of my clothes!! any advice or just nuggets of wisdom would be appreciated :)

to add, my 1 year wedding anniversary is coming up and im going on my honeymoon on weds and i spent hours trying on some clothes in front of the mirror that wiped me the f out mentally

my husband makes music for a living and with that comes filming himself playing outside in pretty scenery. We have 1 go to park nearby that’s pretty dead most of the time but he needs some new locations that are

1. Easily accessible with a guitar and camera so he’s not lugging his stuff too far
2. not many people around (during the week works for him if its a place that gets super busy on the weekend)
3. Has Nice trees, scenery, etc

we live in Union county but are willing to go maybe up to an hour. Bonus if there’s a good spot to grab lunch or dinner nearby.

Thanks!
