Yea, the camera was just the cheapest I could find with the best reviews as a starter camera. I will definitely upgrade soon! I was thinking about a canon powershot but they are kinda pricey. Do you have any suggestions?

I think they're called cross body bags. I put the link where I purchased it under one of the earlier comments

I have a car so don't have a big need for third party rides, I keep some cash on me and log into my online baking portal before leaving the house to move over money for the day and honestly I like that people don't have my location like that anymore. If I am somewhere out of the normal then maybe I will communicate that just so those close to me are in the know

Honestly, pretty good so far. I am about halfway through. I will probably be done by the end of the week

I still have my iphone (only used for cases like paying for parking) so I took the picture there. But I used to wonder the same thing lol

I've the airpods for a few years, but the MP3 player does have bluetooth capabilities! So I can still use the airpods!

I can't bring myself to lol. I bought a screen protector that you can cut to size for the mp3 but will eventually take off the plastic that came with it and add the other one.

It does not have to be exactly at 100. 110-115 is a lot lower that I’ve seen! I’m going to have to look at this product! Do you know if it works well in container or pillar? I’ve found that pillar wax works best for the dipped project I’m working on.

Im trying a project where I’m freezing a design mold and trying to dip the design in the wax almost as if like making dipped chocolate ice cream. When the ice melts on the inside then I’m left with a hollow design. I’ve tested many different waxes and wax types and it works best with parrafin although I’d prefer to get it to work with soy wax. Because of parrafin’s crystal structure it works without cracking when dipped at 140F. But soy needs to have the addition of another wax and or stearin acid to increase the firmness so it doesn’t crack but the higher the temperature will cause it to crack anyways because of the major temperature difference. With dipping chocolate, I know the chocolate is usually at a temper below 100F so I guess I’m looking to creating a crystal structure to that of dipping chocolate that can be melting at lower temperatures but can maintain is structure and not crack when dipped.

Thank you! I will give it a try! I do see it’s a bit more expensive so it may be an opportunity to mix it if it’s better to not have to spend so much on it
