Moths: Do Any Of Us Really Use Mothballs? For closets with rarely worn treasures?

For vintage and not vintage clothing that isn't worn that often. If we do use mothballs how strong does the smell need to be to kill the critters? Thanks!

LBWT Call to Action: NYT Wirecutter has only reviewed Men's Suits. And a Q.

I looked for a Wirecutter review on Best Suits. Did they review Men's Suits? Darn right they did. Guess what kind of Women's Suits they reviewed? Swimsuits. Yup. I'm going to write to them (yes, I do that). WTF. I'm so tired of this crap.

Now my question: what does it mean when a Poshmark item says "Ad"? Is it safe to click on?

Do "We" Wash or Dryclean NWT Poshmark Items? Please say no.

Because of a lifelong weight problem I've never, ever liked clothes shopping. Most of my purchases were 7:30 to 9:pm Speedshopping Hell Before Big Hearings. Well, because of ya'll and Zepbound, I've now discovered Poshmark and I kid you not I like shopping!!!

Seems to me with NWT items it defeats the point to dryclean items -- right? Please say I don't need to handwash NWT Zara Mock Neck tops.

Thanks!

For those who are exercising indoors these days: Who Repairs Neglected Pelontons?

Okay. Maybe not just neglected. Maybe barely ever used and then became a coatrack several years back.

Boyle Heights Fire: How to make DIY Air Filter Instructions from EPA.

>Even 1 air filter attached to 1 household fan can help clear indoor air. Stay safe everyone.

https://www.epa.gov/sciencematters/do-it-yourself-air-cleaners-making-cleaner-air-more-accessible
In 2021, Chemical Insights Research Institute (CIRI) of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), in collaboration with EPA, issued a report assessing the fire and burn risks from operating DIY air cleaners. The study tested five different commercial electric box fan models using the basic DIY air cleaner design, which includes one filter. Researchers evaluated these air cleaners with clean filters as well as filters loaded with smoke and dust and simulated extreme scenarios where one or both sides of the fan were obstructed. None of the tested conditions presented a burn or fire risk. The team identified several best practices to safely construct and operate a DIY air cleaner, including using a newer box fan (2012 model or newer) equipped with safety features like fused plugs and thermal cutoffs.

Holland "Bridgeview/Pinnacle Class" is a bargain compared to Neptune Class. What am I missing?

Based on my internet searches HAL "Pinnacle/Bridgeview" Class is pretty comparable to Neptune Class and it's supposed to be newer, but an awful lot cheaper. What am I missing? This is a partial screenshot from cruise plum for Summer 2027 east coast (basically NY-Montreal or vice versa).

Please Please Consider Reporting And Requesting Things (Homeless Encampment, Dumping, Etc) Using Official Pasadena City Service Center App. It Works, Really.

I don't work for Pasadena, really! But I am a squeaky wheel!

I tried sending this OFFICIAL PASADENA APP a few weeks ago and didn't do it correctly. Sorry MODS. I'm trying again.

I know lots of people are uncomfortable reporting things or complaining to Pasadena for lots of reasons. We aren't that sure it's a big dealor we just lack confidence that stuff will get done. Pasadena has an official Citizen Service Center App to report non-emergency things. In my area there are some hills so we tend to get a bit of dumping. Pasadena is actually very responsive (I used to live in LA). A great way to report things that concern us but aren't necessarily emergencies. Please remember it's really important to report things because they keep stats on this stuff.

Thank you and Talbots question: Thank you for POSHMARK talk. Now my go-to!

OMG I love POSHMARK. I finally figured out how the site works. OMG OMG OMG. I'm shopping more and spending less. How did that happen?

Talbots question: as we sadly know their quality has spiraled over the past years. So, I'm shopping for the good ole' Talbots skirts that have been my staple over the years. Is anyone familiar enough with Talbots labels over the years to be able to distinguish the good old stuff from the new not great stuff? Any other tips for adding to my Talbots just slightly above the knee skirt collection?

Be well LBs!

Entry Level Fat Cruiser Here: How Much to Prices Jump when Older Ships are Retired?

How much do "we" expect NG prices to go up across all ships with the retirement of the two smaller ships Sea Lion and Sea Bird? Definitely looking forward to newer boats but will prices jump across the board? We are planning our next trip for next year.

Just got back from our 1st Entry Level FatCruise in Alaska. Wonderful time.

Leon Black's Wealth: Bankrolling Candidate for LA City Controller Zach Sokoloff.

Submission statement: I'm submitting this to show the continuing power of Epstein Associate Leon Black.

This post may be yanked but I'm still going to try. Leon Black's billions, courtesy of his family (Debra and Victoria) and Elysium, are helping bankroll a Sokoloff Nepo Baby named Zach Sokoloff who is running for LA City Controller. Like LA or Don't Like LA, that is a personal choice, but it's just frikkin evil to accept a penny that has any connection to Leon Black. My gawd.

Thank you for your continuing work on this!

How did I Miss Clark's Bendables Oxford Lace-Ups? What Rock Have I been Living Under?

HUGE Thank you for the postmark recommendations! I finally figured out the very very busy app and am now mostly buying only second hand!!!

That said, HOW ON EARTH DID I NEVER NOTICE CLARK'S BENDABLES OXFORD LACE-UPS WITH HEELS? I've been loyal to Clark's for well over 10 years and completely missed the Heeled Oxford Lace-Ups! So now I'm scooping up as many Size 11 (!!!) on Postmark! My current style is middle-aged black with goth accessories.

For the Newbies: I'm 18 months in, maintaining comfortably, and grateful every day.

Getting through the titration period is worth it. I feel great, my bone density is great and my muscle tone is great. I no longer play Healthcare Hookie.

Only side effect is a bit of fatigue the day after shot day. Constipation hasn't been an issue since I started taking nightly magnesium about a year ago.

I'm grateful beyond words. I love love love being normal.

We are going on a 1 week Alaska cruise -- but a small (60 passengers) expedition-y fairly rustic boat. Very small cabins. I am actually going to try to pack light and stick to my carry-on Briggs and Riley Spinner. In an absolute first, I have actually started putting clothing and gear (Duluth Lined Overalls!) into a drawer I have set aside. This after years of literally cramming things into suit cases the night before I leave. My packing style: cram and flee.

Anyhoo, the boat will have regular US outlets but my beloved Revlon Heated brush is YUGEEE. Are there any decent alternatives out there?
