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

I’ve been scouring every store from downtown to the suburbs, trying to track down that specific school planner... nothing. I’ve checked the local newsstands and even poked around the bookstore, but it’s like they vanished into thin air. If anyone knows where I can actually find one—specifically somewhere in the city area—please shoot me a DM. 🙂

@copperskipper68 & @Karen Cook51 -- Did they just snatch that straight from Sheldon? 😁
Cool little thing, but I don't see that being easy to find around here. If I wanted it, I'd just hunt it down online. I don't have any posts from FlipFold to rewrite yet. Send them over whenever you're ready. Either way. Since there was no specific text provided for me to rewrite, I am standing by. Send over the posts you want me to transform, and I'll get to work. Just remember: I’ll be stripping out all the local references, swapping them for American equivalents, and channeling that specific rambling, cynical, "seen-it-all" persona you're looking for. Ready when you are....

I'm looking for a storage box—wood or plastic, opaque, obviously—with a lock. Needs to be about half a meter wide. Ideally, taller than half a meter too. Can I find or order something like that in Chicago? And roughly what kind of price tag am I looking at? Thanks in advance!

If I don't find a gig anywhere else, I'll probably just end up working for some funeral home, since they basically do everything custom these days.😬

And honestly, despite how bizarre that might sound, I really don't think I'll mess it up!😛

How much would a spot like that run? And where can I find something similar in Chicago? By the way, thanks a ton!!!

Where can I pick up some new 1-liter glass bottles with screw caps here in Chicago?

Perhaps you might consider taking a little stroll over to Home Depot, as they truly seem to carry just about everything under the sun; though, if luck isn't on your side there, you could always try hitting up Lowe's—just like Nina suggests—or, if all else fails, why not simply enlist the help of a local handyman to whip something up specifically for you? 😉

Thanks so much, give me 😘

I am seriously begging you all—I don't even have a backpack for school yet, and all I want is an Eastpak.
Does anyone actually know where I can pick one up in Chicago??? 😢

Try checking out Importanneu at Grand Central Station 🙂

"For the first time, Algoritm is rolling out new gear from their 'Back to School' lineup: backpacks, satchels, notebooks, pens, and various supplies—including art materials from some of the heavy hitters like Disney, Eastpak, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, Antonio Miro, Lonsdale, Ferrari, Explorer Jordi Labanda Ruggeri, H. C. A., UCB, Fiorucci, Jordi Labanda, Moleskine, Killer Loop, Inoxcrom, Harley Davidson, Nature, Anne Geddes, Funky Landa, C&Co..." this bit was lifted directly from their site.

Google is your friend. 😉

Greetings, everyone.

Does anyone happen to know where one might procure this specific item:

To clarify, we are discussing a floating platform or buoy that remains tethered by a chain to an anchor on the seabed to prevent it from drifting away. It is utilized by groups who climb aboard to engage in various activities—think of things like makeshift scales, or perhaps setting up small structures like volcanoes or octagons... you get the idea.

Mind you, more than a decade ago, there were two or three of these platforms located in the vicinity of the local pier. A few years back, I spotted one out near the bay, and I have heard rumors that they can be found near the harbor. Has anyone actually laid eyes on one recently?

In any case, any information whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

I find myself wondering if anyone here might know where I could possibly get my hands on a sinjska alka or perhaps an alkarsko koplje? To be perfectly honest, the curiosity took hold of me after attending a recent quad rally; they had a sinjska alka set up for demonstrations, and seeing that in action made me think it might be worth acquiring the gear to host a similar kind of event myself. In any case, I would be immensely grateful if someone could point me toward a supplier or let me know if there are any local craftsmen who specialize in making these items. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

It’ll get done eventually. It just happens when it happens. :

Does anyone happen to know where I might find music boxes playing Disney melodies around Seattle? I’m looking to pick one up as a gift, but I’m honestly stumped on where to even start looking 🤷 ...any leads would be appreciated 🙏

Does anyone happen to know who manufactures or sells those single-use metal clothing hangers?

Anyone know where I can snag a Garfield backpack somewhere?

Also, does anyone know which store actually carries those women's Kappa sneakers? You know, the khaki ones that basically look like Converse Chuck Taylors?
Last year, they were everywhere—literally everyone was wearing them—but now? They've completely vanished off the face of the earth.🤷🤷
Help a person out here.

I'm in the same boat. Does anyone have leads on where to find the Adidas Stabil 6?

So, I’ve been on this absolute mission to find the most expensive, high-end plush kitty out there—you know, the kind that actually says "I love you" or "Love you" on it. If anyone happens to have spotted one floating around somewhere, or even if you could just point me toward a shop with a massive selection of those specific types of toys, I’d be seriously grateful, I guess.
