Are you sure that is safe to be around? Some types of insulation are quite dangerous for the lungs.

Reply to bifl leather boots in really small sizes? by zoarivm
Great question. I wear a women's size "4.5 Narrow" US, and finding ANY shoes that last is nearly impossible without spending a small fortune. Kids shoes, aside from looking like kids shoes, are definitely not made to last.
I had a friend that could wear Doc Marten's, and they held up well, but they're too wide for me. I wish you luck.

That seems too long, but I don't know just how small the bedroom is, nor how cold it is outside. Both would affect heating times. Also, heating up a well insulated room is very different from trying to heat a space that doesn't hold the heat inside. So for instance, single-pane windows are going to allow heat to escape, whereas the newer double or triple pane do a better job of insulating.
I've used oil filled radiators because they don't bother my asthma.

I bought a pair a number of years ago. First day wearing them the soles of my feet turned black. Washed my feet several times, but it took days for the black to completely disappear.
No Olu Kais for me.

Reply to My 1910s Dietz Bestov Hand Lamp. It may not be an everyday use item, but it's always good to have a backup light source around. This particular one has stood the test of time, and is still in near mint condition. by lotr5693
Dietz is still making lamps. Last time I looked they were sold on the Lehman's website.

To be clear, though, there is no real treatment for fibromyalgia. There are a few things that might improve symptoms, to a point.

Reply to Duvet recommendation with no shifting by ArdentGuy
There are clips made for this exact purpose. They're not attractive, but they seem to be useful.

There are some Forest Service cabins that have these. Beautiful!

Every "amenity" in a normal RV is one more thing that will, at some point, break. Or become infested with mice, or have a beehive in it, or a bird nest. Yes, that all happened to me. Give me a molded fiberglass shell with a few cushions and a Coleman stove. All I need!

Reply to comment by gavalant in Water Bottle: Plastic (BPA-Free) vs Aluminium vs Stainless Steel? Which is safer? by Fefolino
Pthalates are another harmful substance coming from plastic. They never get as much attention as BPA, but were identified a long time ago.

My brother had one of these for about 14 years. It ran 24/7 for all that time (except when they were out of town.)

I second Pendleton. They've been around since 1863 for a reason. Expensive, but with them you get what you pay for. Also, there's a reason humans have been making clothing out of wool for thousands of years.
