@gairdeachas Ya... I just cancelled my instacart, since my nesting partner finds solo grocery shopping less awful than I do. 🤣 And online has a huge advantage of being clearer about when something is out of stock and what other options exist. So I don't have to give another human all my rules.

I did a test run with iHerb, and they seem reasonably priced and as quick as my old Amazon prime orders used to be (amazing). They may not be perfect, but it feels like a solid start to move off Amazon.

@b Thanks!

@mekkaokereke I saw this news this morning, and so distrusted that it was real and not copaganda, that I de-boosted my original boost. I'm thrilled to reboost yours with the additional context.

@MissGayle Oh, that's a cool bonus (to have that focus). Thanks!

@sollat Thanks, for this I'm specifically looking for online for the delivery aspect.

Ok, hivemind, what do we like for online purchasing (not Amazon) of bog standard supplements? For example, Magnesium, Iron, Vitamin D. Preference for small business if those even exist in this space.

Edit: Delivery region is Washington State in the US.

Does anyone here do #SeatWeaving? I've got 6 old Ikea chairs like these, and the Danish paper cord on them is starting to fray. I LOVE them and they are discontinued. Trying to figure out if it's folly for a beginner to attempt to cut off and reweave. The curve looks daunting and I'm not sure which way to start warping (front to back versus left to right).

Anyone here done anything like this and have words of wisdom? #AskFedi #Weaving #Furniture #FurnitureRestoration #Restoration

Window shutters (if they exist at all) in the US are often non functional and decorative. But shutters are really useful!

The ones on our Airbnb in Roma were clearly regularly used - moved easily, no more dirty than I’d expect. People next door clearly opened and closed theirs each night as well.

So I was surprised when I reached out to close the ones in Firenze to block the morning light, only to discover that they were creaky, filthy, and almost no one nearby was using theirs either! 🤔
