Man, I miss S&H green stamps! Once, I was so broke and about three weeks from my piddly commission check, no food in the house and I remembered Green stamps could be turned in for $3.00 per book and I had a box with them just crammed in. I walked to the store, got a whole bunch of books and filled 25 of them, cashed them in and was able to eat!!

I have one of these going on 13 years as well with nothing replaced yet. Still makes a better coffee than some of my local cafes. OP what’s the digital display under the frother? I don’t have that did you do that custom?

I want to believe this clock is what Groundhog Day (the movie) was loosely about. This alarm clock with the same sound waking him up to the same day to the same routine and monotony, and then something gives him purpose (a lady) and the sound of the alarm (I got you babe) was just a subtle foreshadowing of what would break him out of his cycle of basically a net zero for the day. Or maybe this edible was a little stronger than I gave it credit for

Get saddleback (truly bifl) wallets and leather goods. Heck when I’m travelling I just use their bifold passport wallet, it’s under twice the height of the wallet in your link and no more than 1 centimetre thick it fits in my blazer inside pockets, jeans and trouser pockets. I’ve taken mine through over 50 nations in near 20 years. There are zero signs of wear, just a beautiful patina. Same with the other goods I have of theirs.

My favorite is the Big Skinny Hipster model. it comes in leather or nylon with RFID blocking. Super slim, carries a ton of cards without to much bulk and last forever. My nylon wallet is at least 7yrs old and is still in great shape. I have close to 30 cards and cash in it and it is under 1/2 inch thick.
