> [@Die\_Capacitrix](#): > > Hope it matches the picture. Me too. I did a bunch of poking around, including some Reddit threads talking about the company, and apparently they do good work. Their items are well-made and faithful to store depictions. In particular I read a long thread of My Little Pony enthusiasts (pretty sure thatā€™s the first time I ever poked around that part of Reddit) and they were skeptical that anything of that price could look as good as the pictures, but multiple people swore they did a great job. I assume that same quality extends to all their products, so Iā€™m optimistic. ---

Well, My Little Pony and HelloKitty things are hard to find in Walmart. The Pony Bros and Kitty Bros are buying them up. So birthday girl may be disappointed. Unless, a Smart cookie Nana thought about it early and had it in her Amazon cart. šŸ˜Š ---

> [@Snarky\_Kong](#): > > Take some personal responsibility. A few years ago I did a ā€œ[Let Me Google That For You](https://letmegooglethat.com/)ā€ to someone I cannot name. That person blocked me because of that (some years ago and still blocked I think). Boy did it piss them off. IMO it was completely deserved. Mods donā€™t like that though so I stopped (I was told not to so I donā€™t). I can see where it can be a problem since I think it is common to Google to produce an answer. To me, LMGTFY should be restricted to the really blatant stuff. E.G. ā€œWhat will the weather be in Chicago tomorrow?ā€ (totally made that up, just an illustration of something someone should Google on their own). ---

Yahoo is showing me a high of 91 tomorrow. My phone app is showing a high of 82 tomorrow. Who to believe? [Weather.com](http://Weather.com) is showing 84. So Iā€™m guess Yahoo weather is a bit high. I hope. What does Tom Skilling have to say? Iā€™ll go with whatever he says. ---
