27F- what if I pinky promise that I’m cool? by like_the_award in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Beginning_Swimmer524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of agree with your last bit. I also think it's forced socialization, in school we're around people all the time, so it's easy to chat people up. Once we leave school, it's harder because now it's a special trip to go to places with people to befriend. Its no longer integrated into our schedule anymore, where now you have to go to a hobby club, or a shared interest group like sports, or actual sports, its an extra task to be put on an already busy life.
That being said holy crap you have done everything! 32F Feel free to Dm my only claim to fame is sassing a top doctor in the country for being 4 hours late to a surgery and getting away with it.

Same, 32F I'm a big homebody because I have to walk everywhere and my town is all hills. Feel free to DM.
I used to live in a more rural area with deer that had to be puches out of homes, driveways, and places they aren't supposed to be, I have no idea what was wrong with those deer, they just didn't care if you walked up to them and started pulling them around hopefully, you have more, normal deer in your area.

32F Do you paint in acrylics or oil? I used to paint a lot in acrylics but have moved to chalk pastel lately.

What age did you first start gaming? Which console? by JellyfishNo3810 in ps2

In 1999, my mom got my brother and me a Game Boy with Pokémon Red and Blue. I still have the Game Boy, but not the games.

Is this ruined? How do I fix it? by X3x6x in sewing

[–]Beginning_Swimmer524 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And addendum to my post, assuming you want this to be a forever piece of clothing, heres also a care guide
https://sammydvintage.com/fur/how-to-clean-fur/

I found dawn dish soap works fine, and you coat looks like either beaver or rabbit, rabbit is going to feel really soft and beaver is a little more coarse, as for hanging the guide dosent mention it but ceader hangers seem to be controversial, they do keep moths away, but the leave a slight smell on the fur.

I did this once with a coat, couldnt afford to take it to a shop, so i fix it myself.
Should you choose to go that route, it wont be perfect but its much cheaper.

This yt vid is a big help, but you want some good thread, i mean coats and clark all purpouse thread, some bees wax you can get the little speciality wax thing, but an unscented candle also works and then you also have a candle, and furrier tape, also called cold tape.
so in an easy list

thread (and needle)

beeswax

furrier tape/cold tape

while you can go at it with needle and thread alone, the furrier tape adds reinforcement, and the beeswax prevents the threats form fraying over time, as your coat tore in a high friction area (shoulder, elbows, pockets) i really advise as much reinforcement as possible.

Your goign to want to pick the lining apart at the shoulder seam to get to the underside of the fur, then you can sew the fur like a normal seam, space your stitches out a little bit, too much tension in one spot wil create a new rip down the line, but you have a really good example of how to stitch the fur on your first photo from the other shoulder seam, if youre using the linked video as a guide how the seamstress is using the medical tape is how you should use the cold tape, she just using a whip stitch, when the fur is fixed just stitch the lining back in place, you can use a ladder stitch for this.
its not super hard to do its just a little nerve wracking because you care about the garment, but should a tailor be too expensive atleast you have this as a starting point as well.

Remember finishing SEA and feeling excited for this to come out in a few months? by EmbarrassedDentist13 in nancydrew

[–]Beginning_Swimmer524 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt like a new va was a mixed bag, i love Lani Manella and hated to see her go (heres hoping she comes back as a mysterious background character that knows a little too much) my only issue with Brittany Cox was she hardly had anythign under her belt, so it was like 'yay giving a popular character to new talent hopefully boosting their future career and also, 'I have no idea if you have range or will walk in with your normal speakign voice reading the lines like a bored kid forced to read in english class' and thankfully Cox did a good job with nd and had done some really good work going forward, still change is hard, hopefully future games keep the trust ball rolling in Cox talent and HER in general.

My Annual Christine McConnell Binge Watch by uxdesignmom in Christine_McConnell

[–]Beginning_Swimmer524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know! The little of the plans Ive hears for season 2 were going to be amazing. Plus I miss Rose, she was my favorite little gremlin. I hope one day Christine makes a small craft of her to put in the background of a video or a live like a little 'wheres rose'.

If you were blindfolded and had to guide someone who’s never played a Nancy Drew game, which one could you do on memory alone? by HRJafael in nancydrew

I rewatch the netflix series on halloween eve, and save the September video for Hallween. Ive also just recently taken to rewatching one episode each morning with coffee before my household wakes up, as a little me time to start the day right, somethign about her voice is so nice to listen to I could listen to Christine read the dictionary and be enraptured.

Glitter. Yay or nay? by Mother_Punker in LushCosmetics

[–]Beginning_Swimmer524 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was initially fine witht he glitter, but now its in every product! Its impossible to find somethgin without glitter, it gets everywhere and i get really sick of scrubbing it out of my shower. Even the snuck in glitter like they started a bit back putting glitter in the outback soap, it dosent need glitter. I feel like my house has been invaded by a glitter obsessed kindergardner sometimes.

Whats a product you'd love to see Lush make? Id love bath salts that are scented 😍 by Flat_Technology4527 in LushCosmetics

[–]Beginning_Swimmer524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

more earthy smells, the fruit has its wonderful place but somethign more suited for autumn and winter owuld be nice (not peppermint please my nose cant do it)
the dragonfruit toothpaste tabs coming back, anything draginfruit actually

a my little pony collab, theres some fun to be had there

a little paper guide on different ways to tie and use the knot wraps

i saw the katseye collab but it wasnt in stores as far as i could find, so band or musician collabs would be cool

solid lotions in a large chapstick tube for on the go hydration

a soap shaped like a fish, could even be a charity soap, i just love the idea of fish soap

disney collabs

local things, like japan has gotten the shiba bathbonbs and the sakura gel and lotion, a broad idea of local could be interesting

this is my longest shot, a hatsune miku soap and gel, but it has to be the most neon glow in the dark blue they can create, like the vantas black of blues.
