Where can I find, buy, or... "borrow" these? (Mega-thread) :D

Where can I pick up Oriflame cosmetics in a physical store in a major US city—either at one of theirs or just somewhere else—without having to wait for shipping?

I already asked on their specific thread, but this is urgent. Figured I'd have better luck getting a real answer here... thanks in advance.

Nowhere really—there isn't a physical store, I guess. It all goes through Oriflame consultants or via catalog sales—so prices kind of depend on when you shop, based on whatever's currently in the catalog

Does anyone know where I can pick up some Jägermeister in smaller sizes than the standard 0.7 L bottle—like maybe just a couple of glasses worth—around downtown Chicago, and what kind of price am I looking at?

I think you can find them at CVS or maybe Rite Aid—honestly, maybe check Target, though I don't recall seeing them there myself. Or maybe even at a local Walgreens? There might be a smaller pharmacy near the station downtown that has a website, if I remember correctly.
As for those other shops, I’d give them zero points—really. I actually tried to buy some once and hit up every store in my neighborhood, but none of them had any clue what I was talking about. I'm pretty sure the bottles exist, it’s just a matter of whether the big retailers actually stock them... last time I saw them—and I didn't even need them then—was quite a while ago, I guess.

Alright, I’ll probably give Getroom, Vrutka, and Kerum a shot. I heard they might carry smaller bottles of Absinthea at Kerum, so maybe that's an option too.😉

I saw a ton of stuff on Craigslist, but honestly? I just ended up grabbing a poker set at Metro for... $102

Does anyone know where I can actually pick up a Newton's Cradle or those kinds of little desk gadgets?

Where can I pick up a pig stunning device? Something like a captive bolt pistol or a similar tool.😵

Maybe try hitting up a local vet clinic. Might be worth a shot.

Using a tranquilizer pistol with a dart doesn't actually sedate an animal—at best, you just end up smashing its skull. And before that, you're looking at pure shock because you have to hold it against their head, so they need to be calm, and you can't afford to miss. In reality, things slip, you miss the mark, and you end up shattering sinuses—then the animal panics and everything just turns into a bloody mess. 🙄

don't lose your humanity

Honestly, it’s probably better to just go get your permit, pick up a decent handgun, and shoot from a distance—that way the animal won't even know what hit it, and there's no risk of missing because of a sudden movement. You just wait until things settle down and then take the shot... a little lead or whatever stays put, and since the bleeding starts immediately, it doesn't really have time to travel through the system.

Or maybe see what kind of sedatives are available to regular folks so you can put the animal to sleep first (using something that isn't toxic to eat, I guess)—check with the local vet clinic to see what the alternatives are.

But seriously, don't kid yourself thinking that pistol has anything to do with sedating or putting them to sleep...

Does anyone know where I can track down some Green Absinthe here in the city, maybe in those smaller 8.5 oz bottles? I managed to find the 24 oz ones over at BevMo!, but I’ve heard through the grapevine that the smaller sizes are floating around somewhere.

Does anyone happen to know where I can find an ice cream Sachertorte for purchase? It’s almost as if they’ve pulled them from the shelves entirely; I just can't seem to track them down anywhere. I need one urgently, I suppose, before Christmas arrives.🙂

Where can I find PEZ dispensers in the States, specifically those old-school Disney ones..?
Like Donald Duck, Sylvester, Tweety, and stuff like that..

Thanks in advance

Doesn't matter, I found it.

Yo, did anyone catch if they have those huge chocolate Santa Claus figures? Like, half a meter tall?

Also, I'm on the hunt for a really high-quality Santa hat—needs to fit a bigger head 🙂.

I was wondering, maybe, where in a place like Chicago I could find some of those women's earmuffs that actually act like little heaters for the winter? 😁

Bogovićeva (that little cottage under the setting sun)

@smallhouse: I spotted it over at Funky Fish too—that gallery on the first floor, I think—but I didn't really catch the price tag.

I've been hunting for some decent patches, but every time I find something I actually like, they turn out to be tiny. Like, maybe 4x3 inches or something—not really what I'm looking for.
Is there anywhere online that carries larger ones?
Or maybe somewhere in Chicago where I could pick some up in person?

Renovating an old room and a deck, and we need about 5 square meters of cork to cover the deck floor. He’s been scouting all over town but hasn't had any luck finding any cork. I'm checking online to see where to order it... from where? Found a company out in 😁, but that feels a bit too far away. The closest option would be somewhere near Miami. Thanks.
