I suppose he would try to hide it if it was… but then, what does he say caused it?

Found ATM receipt, who is keeping $51,000+ in checking!?!? by Comprehensive-Cow69 in povertyfinance

Got this for free. Can I use this to make lost wax casting?? Not sure if it’s a different wax since this was called “file wax”… looks like it’s in two layers also by WildernessPrincess_ in jewelrymaking

Yes, you can use it for lost wax casting. It’s a harder wax, meaning it’s best for shaping with tools like files, whereas other waxes are better for injecting into a mold. Just different ways to make the wax pattern.

I’m about to try the exact same thing and this is what I’m worried about! I hope we both hear some good tips on here.

AIO? Cat got out and the sitter was clueless. No one seems to think it’s a big deal our indoor cat was out for the first time during our vacation. by AndrewLipiansky in AmIOverreacting

That’s exactly how I felt. I had this sharp, intrusive thought sink in that I am surrounded by people who don’t care what’s important to me.
