I love using Edible Arrangements. Yes, they’re a bit expensive, but I’ve used them for several special occasions throughout the past decade and at different locations throughout the US, and they’ve each shown up fresh, on time, at the right location, and beautifully done. Even small/cheaper arrangements look full of fruit and don’t look cheap.

Depending on the age of your neighbor’s children, Edible Arrangements also has a lot of fun shapes you can get the fruit in, so they’d enjoy looking at that.

Plus, it’s fresh fruit, so you don’t have to worry about it being halal. There is the option to get some of it covered in chocolate, so you’d have to explore halal for that, or just avoid the issue all together and get no chocolate. Or, have a couple pieces in chocolate and allow the family to make their own decision about eating it, because some chocolate is halal and some isn’t.

You can have Edible Arrangements delivered to your neighbors too, so you don’t have to pick it up yourself. Just make sure they’re home so it’s not waiting outside for them.

Overall, it’s a good one-time gift to really blow their pants off.

Great job thinking of thanking your neighbors in return and continuing to make your community a more welcoming place!

I hold it under my non-dominant armpit when wearing pants with no pockets.

Darn, thank you

Aww, that sounds adorable!

For moving the app windows anywhere you want… is that available on the iPhone too?

That is what has prevented me from purchasing a larger iPhone, because I can’t physically reach the apps on the upper parts of the screen. If I can place the apps on the bottom part of the screen, then I’ll get a larger phone for sure.

I’ve been wanting a pro for the new camera for a while, but have been holding onto my iPhone 7. If they turn this into a real thing (and not just beta), I’ll switch.

That’s a good idea.

I had another thought too. In the past, I’ve used some acne creams on my face at night, mostly to try and prevent a breakout. Benzoyl peroxide was the main one, and it made little bleach marks on the top edges of my comforter and pillow case. Just a warning because these blankets seem special to you.

Good luck with your blanket setup!

1. What type of floor does your basement have? Is it carpet or cement?

Basements tend to be damp. So if it is carpet, there is a good chance it is retaining some moisture and already has some slight mildew/mold build up. This would transfer easily over to your blanket.

Would this make a big difference to you, since you’re already living in that environment? Not likely. If you’re allergic, it would just make you more sneezy, your nose rub more, etc.

1. Spiders and other creatures of the night. For this reason alone, don’t put your blanket on the ground. Unless you live in Alaska, where there are genuinely ZERO spiders, I guarantee you that you have spiders in your basement. And that the run across your basement floor at night.

Don’t believe me? Just stay up late watching a movie on your tv one night (with all other lights off), and I promise you’ll see their shadows on the ground as they move around.

So - no! Put your blanket on something! Anything! Doesn’t have to be fancy. Other people are making responsible adult recommendations, which is great and all, but the point is - keep your gosh darn blanket off the ground. Do you have an extra lounge chair (the type that has armrests; not a folding chair)? Put that by your bed and throw your blanket on that if you get too hot.

You do NOT want to put your blanket on the floor, and pick it up the next day… or three days later… and put it on your bed, accidentally picking up a spider or two along with it. NO thank you.

Thought I was getting déjà vu while reading your comments lol. Glad you explained why I saw it so many times!

I agree with your foundational stance on using kbin vs. Lemmy due to the political beliefs (‘Tankies’) of those on Lemmy.

But, I’d never heard of them referred to as far left before. In my mind, Bernie is generally considered far left in the US (even though I wish he wasn’t).

I am glad that others provided their explanations of left vs. progressive because it helped me to better understand why you said left (instead of right).

The profile picture is super memorable to me, for some reason.
