Are these bed bug eggs/casings?

Found on my carpet and on my mattress. Carpet is brand new and the mattress is 4 years old barely used from a friend ): suddenly paranoid.

stokes sweet potato calories?

the stokes website has it listed for 150 calories per 110g. this is wildly higher than japanese or regular sweet potatoes - is this possible?! how would one variation be about 200 calories more for the same grams??

Sorce order didn't arrive :(

I actually have a feeling it was stolen. I'm posting this here because Sorce's contact form says wait 4+ days, but it's been 2 now and I have a sinking feeling it was stolen or lost in transit. I had to make an emergency move due to severe issues with my old apartment/landlord, and so I was staying with my brother for 2 weeks. I ordered the perfume to his apartment and it came a few days after I moved into my new house.

When I went to go pick it up from his leasing office (he's a college student) they could not find it and said it was never delivered. I've been back to check every day since. :(

Has anyone had any luck with orders from Sorce not arriving/stolen/lost in transit? I'm heartbroken. I was really looking forward to my order and I'm worried since there's no proof of it being stolen/broken/etc., I'll just never get my order. :/

Best U.S. city to move to for single 24F?

I've lived in Florida nearly my whole life and quite frankly the bugs AND the weather are getting to me as my last straw. I've always wanted to live elsewhere but I have really great friends and my family is all here. I have about 10 months left on my current lease and so I'm not in any rush but I want to start gathering ideas.

For context: I am currently paying off student loans so I need to work for a place that qualifies for PSLF. The easiest for this is a university (where I work currently) or a non-profit (would prefer less so, since the pay isn't great).

I love arts, culture, improv/acting, theater, museums, bookstores, vintage/thrift shopping, strong communities/opportunities to make friends, and access to the outdoors (even if it's a little bit of a drive). I am rather attached to my car so NYC is sort of out of the question.

I'd prefer a mid-to-larger size city, but am open to any and all suggestions! Current cities I'm strongly considering:

  • Chicago
  • Atlanta
  • Pittsburgh or Philadelphia
  • Boston
  • Seattle
  • Portland, OR

Thank you in advance! (Btw, I hate the sun and love the gloom, which is why the PNW calls to me lol)

Cracker Barrel in store yet?

I’ll call my local store today too but I am dying to see the witch lamp in person. I don’t know if I can justify $150 on a lamp (that I WOULD use year-round). Does anyone have any insight before I call?

Also to those who’ve bought these stained glass lamps from CB before, are they usually good quality?

salty, sweet (but not aquatic) fragrances?

looking for something salty and sweet! think like an auntie anne's pretzel or a salted caramel cookie. i weirdly DO want something wet (like an oozy caramel, or an overly buttery pretzel) but i just hate the aquatic accords like in the one Orebella scent. they make me a bit nauseous. maybe this is impossible to achieve! i just think it'd be nice for summer as a Florida girl lol

I'm traveling so I don't have time to order Sucrerie samples but I may blind buy 1-2 of the special order scents. (Sorce has a very good rep in my house!)

Wishlist:

  • A Party, Or Something
  • Cake for Breakfast
  • Beautiful, But Annihilating

North FL, small with big leaflike wing?

Apologies for the bad photo this was legit all I could get. What the hell is this thing?! I thought it was just a leaf at first but then noticed it moving. It seemed to almost be a tiny worm like bug attached to a huge (in comparison to the body) leaf-like wing (or 2?). It was moving quite slow . I found it near my bathroom sink.
