They got peppermint bark stocked yet? Got it for the first time last year and mourned when it went away.

A bidet is like infinite, renewable wipes, with no added waste. If we're in a mafia then wipe users are the lackies.

I actually want one but haven't been able to convince myself to pull the trigger since I live in an apartment. I yearn for the soothing embrace of a pre-warmed seat and a tiny mechanical water spout with a remote control.

I'm waiting for one that is homekit enabled so I can tell siri to prepare my throne and it warms it up and starts displaying LED patterns like it's a helicopter landing pad

I have a bidet in my Amazon shopping cart to order when I get back home to my apartment next week. The hookup to the water line looks easy enough and doesn't harm anything. I thought long and hard about getting one that does warm water but I'd have to drill a hole in the cabinet beneath the sink and it'd look pretty ugly. I might look harder for one with a battery-powered heated seat but I'll honestly just be happy to have a bidet again.

Most warm water ones will heat their own reservoir of water or run it through a heat exchanger (the latter are more in the $600 range)

I moved into a new house so right now mine is plugged into an outlet across the bathroom with a big ol' extension cord. Worth it.

Just a basic cold bidet is lightyears ahead of TP wiping as far as that sparkling clean b hole feeling goes.

I got a cheapie as an experiment. I really thought I'd have an opinion about the lack of warm water on my b-hole.... but to be honest, it isn't a problem. It isn't SHOCKINGLY cold or anything. You're using the water that's already been room temperature in the last several feet of plumbing. It's really fine. I love it but I don't think I'll upgrade it.

I feel barbaric now when I use a non-bidet toilet, using handfuls of paper like some kind of caveman.

I feel like it's not worth getting an unpowered bidet that has a hot water line. Because the hot water is going to be cold for the hundred feet or so of pipe between the toilet and the hot water heater you're going to have to run it for a while before you get any hot or warm water coming out. You'll also want to mark on the knobs where it should be to be a comfortable temperature since if you make it too hot you're just blasting uncomfortably or dangerously hot water right into your butthole.

I personally have one that has both the hot and cold water lines into it and I basically never use the hot water. It's just not worth the trouble.

Now, a powered bidet that can heat its own water to the perfect temperature would probably be worth it. But I don't have a outlet near the toilet that could do that.

Many years ago I had a visit from a friendly police officer who wanted to take a look at the big tomato plant I had in my kitchen, in front of the window, with the grow lamp. He must have been REALLY interested in the growing of indoor winter tomatoes. I love sharing my hobbies!

Dunno, but they have these Haagen Dazs peppermint bark ice cream bars that are amazing, and they're already discounted so they're less than 1$/pc. Highly recommend.

Nah that is the point.

Yes! I just came here to post about this. Whole pork loin is $8 off per pkg (so a typical one is $4) and whole ny prime loin is $25 off. I think that sale ends on the 30th.

It's the first time I've ever doorbusted Costco. Showed up bright and early, just in the time I was grabbing other stuff half that beef disappeared!

Later on me and Mrs. Pershing will break out the vacuum sealer and the good carving knife and go to town.

Costco doesn't sell trees here in Oregon, probably because it's hard to offer a better deal than you can get on almost any street corner.

When I was a kid on the east coast, IKEA came to town and they started offering ridiculously cheap trees AND would take them back for recycling AND would give you like a $10 IKEA coupon. It wasn't enough to tempt my family, but then again I only knew one family whose tree didn't live in a box in the garage.
