I picked up a nasty crack on my wife’s windshield.  It has all of these sensors and crap and it’s supposed to be “acoustic” glass which equates to = $$$

This fixed it right up.  The crack was about 8” long

For anyone who likes scented candles, I love Little House Candles.  It's a family owned and run business, which I will always prefer to support over a big company.  The people who work there are great, the candles are excellent and are half the price of Yankee Candle for the same size, and the customer service is great.  This is one of those finds where I wish I had found them sooner because they are so much better than any of their competitors IMO.

I might have to give this a shot. I'm a fan of Woodwick scented candles but the cost is ridiculous. Most of the candles I've tried that are reasonably priced are so weakly scented you can barely smell them.

Oil diffusing is all we are supposed to use now since apparently burning candles gives off some crap that kills everyone

I am literally laying in bed using one of these right now after my back seized up earlier this week.  Highly recommended for those with lower back pain.   I think they are called TENS machines.  This is the one we go https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0QBR8H/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Love these.  Best is watching wife use them and have those “spasm” like movements (bunt on the kids too).

Is this schtick? I took a quick look at the link. Seems like quackery, although it is tested and certified by the FCC.

No...they do seemto help minor muscle issues.

The jumpy muscle part is the part for fun though.

I like socks a lot. They provide me the protection I’m looking for between heal and shoe. I sometimes ( always) wear two pair.

A true marvel of engineering.

No Schtick here.  I’ve been to chiropractors that have hooked me up to similar machines.  Give it a try!

I need a good travel backpack that I can put my laptop in.  I don't travel a lot, once a month or so, and I'm cheap.

Recommendations?

 

[ragincajun]

You lost me at cheap.  I have this one and love it however work paid for it. http://www.ogio.com/backpacks/renegade-rss-laptop-backpack/spr4704946.html

I like that Gray Jansport Envoy for $49

This is kind of embarrassing but hopefully this can help someone else.

About 3 years ago I started getting eczema on my hands.  The severity comes and goes, but it have never completely gone away for even a few days.  When it was bad, it was extremely uncomfortable, especially when washing my hands.  Just extremely dry hands and often areas where the skin would crack open and I had open lesions.  It was primarily on my palms and between fingers, so was mostly hidden from people.  I tried all kinds of lotions, and doctor prescribed me topical steroid cream.  I wore moisturizing gloves to bed at night.  

Three weeks ago I went back to my dermatologist because they were really bad.  He gave me a steroid shot and told me to start using Working Hands.  

This stuff is INCREDIBLE.  Now of course I'm sure the steroid helped, but I have not had any issues the past 2 weeks.  No longer wearing the gloves.  This seems way different from other lotions.  After using, my hands don't feel greasy or slippery, but actually feel like there is a thin layer of wax covering them, and it actually seems to improve my grip on things, like I have stickem on my hands.

You can use Bag Balm, too.

You can use Bag Balm, too.

I'm barefoot or in slides way too much. My heels dry and crack. This is by far the best product I've found for that.

I'd just go with the Sam's club Swiss backpack that every single business traveler has.

I have an older model that I got over 10 years ago. I've used it for work and travel quite a bit over the years and it still looks almost brand new. Highly recommended.

May have to give working hands a shot.

May have to give working hands a shot.

I can vouch for this too. I had extremely deep cracks in my heels and used working hands (they also make a foot cream) and it provided relief within days. I also use on hands in winter. Great great stuff. I was skeptical as I purchased it originally at Hardware’s store but now buy the bigger tub from amazon.

LOL @ using chiropractors to dispel schtick/quackery.

Haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but I stumbled across this thing called the BaKblade one day and decided to give it a try.  Its a razor for your back. 

My back hair has moved from my back to my neck the older I get.  Its starting to become a nuisance.   Plus the neighborhood pool opens this year. 

This thing works like a charm. Not sure how often you'll have to change the blades.

HUGE HUGE sale on the fantastic Ultimate Ears Blast (New Megaboom) that has Alexa built in for $99

Been using these headphones at night watching tv to not bother the wife while she’s sleeping. Great sound, great quality, awesome battery life.

I assume that's a good deal? What are these normally, around $170? I see that Best Buy has them at $99 as well - do they try to match Amazon a lot?

 

[Tiger Fan]

Love the Maple Farms Fat Free Salad Dressing.  The greek and balsamic vinegar in particular are very tasty.  All other FF stuff I've tried was awful.

 

[Punxsutawney Phil]

I bought a +$40 metal gas can at Lowe's to replace the garbage plastic safety ones that are everywhere.  I can't stand the safety nozzles, and have been just using a funnel.  I don't even bother using my gas & oil mix can anymore.  I buy the pre-mix. The 2 stroke equipment runs better, and it's not as much of a hassle/mess.

I didn't know there was such a thing. Where do you find the pre-mix?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Ace Hardware usually carries Stihl Motomix. Other tractor/farm supply stores also often carry it.

 

[ffjunk]

Any big box store sells it. Lowes pre mixed 2 cycle

 

[Punxsutawney Phil]

I didn't know there was such a thing. Where do you find the pre-mix?

It's by all the lawn equipment at the big boxes.  There are several brands.  I know echo has a "red" fuel or something.

Our yellow Dyson was 18 years old and needed replacement. Loved it.

The newest Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy is insanely expensive at $600 but I like that the "Cinetic" requires no filters and never loses suction. Wife wanted the Animal  .

Bought it "Like New" on Amazon with free shipping for $359. Box was damaged (who cares?) but saved boatloads.  

No kidding. She vacuumed a "reasonably clean to the naked eye" area rug and it filled the canister. This baby is beastly. 

https://www.amazon.com/Dyson-Cinetic-Ball-Animal-Allergy/dp/B00SMLJPS2

I heard Dyson is going to stop making corded vacuums. I ask why? I don’t need more battery operated items.

Pretty inexpensive so when I had to replace the first pair about a year in after a lot of use I was not disappointed.

I had the Bose Soundsport, Jaybird X3, and Apple Airbuds

Bose -Best sound; Wife stole these

Jaybird - best noise cancellation season out noise; I stole these from wife

Apple best for convenience.  I use these for conference calls, etc just so easy to use.

i see none of these fit your criteria thoug. ?

Attention my bald headed brothers.  For years I have struggled from the oppression of the “wired” Wahl Balding Clippers.  While they tore through my scalp like a John Deere through a fresh field of barley they were very cumbersome to use.

I received some new clippers yesterday and let me tell you I have found the light.

https://www.amazon.com/Remington-HC4250-Shortcut-Self-Haircut-Clippers/dp/B014SG66UO

They  feel a bit cheaper than my Wahl but waterproof cutting in the shower down the drain trumps all other cards.  I have only cut once and it was surprisingly very easy to use.  So far 5 stars!
