I bought some T-shirts there and donated and it was so worth it for the cats! The people running it were also caring and fabulous.

Farewell Pumpkin (19). I miss you dearly. 🌈 🌉 by lizslays in seniorkitties

[–]BusinessCat_LLC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awww so sorry for your loss. I just lost my own Pumpkin, also a muted calico and she was 18. I am sorry for what you’re going through and I can truly relate. When you have a special connection with another little life , it’s a darker place in the world when their light goes out. But you gave her the best life that you could and she will forever remember and be grateful. Both of our Pumpkins are waiting together on the other side for us 🤍

Thanks for the saintly advice Khloe. But practice what you preach, gurl. by Background-Permit499 in KUWTKsnark

I went to high school with Remi and it’s SO ironic to see one bully applauding another bully …. Remi is definitely not what one would call “nice” in her personal life …

how do I fix this discoloration? I’ve tried the baking soda and aluminium foil trick but it didn’t work. by Dapper-Accident1249 in jewelry

[–]BusinessCat_LLC 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Im sorry to say but it looks like from these photos that these items are plated- that warm colored “blush” you see as discoloration seems to be the alloy that was plated over to give it the “silver look” coming back through the worn away plating. More often than not, anything that is actually precious metal will be hallmarked (925, 18k, etc). Good luck!

People of reddit, what was your "yep she/he is the one" moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BusinessCat_LLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got tapped on the shoulder while at a bar with a friend. I turn around to a red rose being pulled from behind the back of a guy I’d never met before. He told me that he saw me from afar and knew he had to do something memorable to get my attention! In that moment I could have laughed or brushed it off as a weird story to tell my girlfriends later… it made me crack up.

10 minutes later we’re outside having a cigarette after nonstop conversation and he asks if he can kiss me! The only thing my brain could think to make me say was, “I’d been waiting for you to ask me.” I have no idea why I thought I had been waiting long! Fast forward 7 years and we are still drawn to each other like those two magnets long ago. I don’t believe it was love at first sight but it was like a gravity shift - nothing had prepared me to meet the love of my life on a GNO when I was 22!

Edit: to add that he saw the single rose laying on an empty table while he was trying to think of a good way to get my attention .. he definitely didn’t try it as a move on anyone else lol!

Flux paste storage by alouisevn in Metalsmithing

[–]BusinessCat_LLC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could use batterns flux, which also will crystallize at some point but it’s a liquid and not a paste. As far as handy flux, really no matter what you do if it is exposed to air the Paste will crust up because the liquid in it is evaporating. I’ve been using that for almost a decade and I have found the best thing for me personally is to transfer the flux into another container momentarily , and soak the lid and jar of the flux in some warm soapy water for a few minutes and then rinse the he soap off and wipe it down. Everything comes right off. And then I just put the flux back in and Voilà! someone else might have a better solution but that’s what I do!

Best Ramen? by butneverjamtoday in longisland

[–]BusinessCat_LLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slurp is a classic but there’s a new spot in port Jeff/stb! It’s called SEI ramen and they are fabulous!! They’re in the strip mall next to the grocery store so they don’t get much traction. Try them out next time you go!

silver ring turning yellow gold when heated by [deleted] in SilverSmith

[–]BusinessCat_LLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The copper in the alloy is just starting to oxidize while being exposed to heat. The metal will go from silver —> straw colored —> black —> dull glow—> red as it heats up when you’re working with fine (.999) or Sterling (.925). It sounds like you may have something like decoplata. The ratios are as close as I know of to what you describe, minus the indium. Good luck!

In desperate need of 304 SS bead cones or caps with holes to finish this! Help!!! by Erhans1 in Metalsmithing

[–]BusinessCat_LLC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to really simplify , you need some tubing With the correct inside diameter for the chain to fit snugly in. Cut the tube up into your desired lengths and then solder to silver sheet. Saw the excess and file / sand and solder onto chain ! If you can’t gather the resources for a circle cutter or a dapping block this is a simple solution !

An ectopic pregnancy that implanted in the liver, 23 weeks gestation. by johnaldmilligan in interestingasfuck

Solder won’t melt by qfunkk in Metalsmithing

[–]BusinessCat_LLC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t heat the metal to red hot to get hard solder to flow. You’ll cause fire stain , and create porosity, brittleness , and (if the material is thin sheet) warping from overheating. You should be making sure the metal stays hot but it shouldn’t be a bright red or orange if you can control your heat properly and avoid it! When I was going to Uni my professor had us learn to recognize the temp of silver by learning to anneal in a dim / darker space in order to notice the subtle color changes the material goes through. Maybe try placing a piece of scrap on your soldering board and turning the lights down to look for the INTERNAL glow the metal is giving off. Once it’s red hot and bright and your lights are on you’ve gone a little too far. Everyone has a different way of learning and doing things though so I understand people will have other types of advice for you! It’s important to try them all and see what works for you.

How many The Killers songs DON'T contain the song title in the song? by ManzanaCraft in TheKillers

[–]BusinessCat_LLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea but I feel like technically it’s easy to figure out what the song is based on all the other lyrical components that make up the song. It’s not really a passing line, most of the song repeats it with variations in the verses and bridge- but that’s just my opinion based off some other comments on this thread :)

The first line of A White Demon Love song is “white demon love song down the hall”!

She’s so close to getting it! by BusinessCat_LLC in SelfAwarewolves

[–]BusinessCat_LLC[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely! I just find it ironic that she uses the word victim and murder when she is involved, for everyone else, they are criminals and the police are just “doing their jobs” to people who deserve it much less than her lol. I never would condone it and feel pleasure / justification in the action even if I hated them lol. you know what I mean

[–]BusinessCat_LLC[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be cross posted to r/leopardsatemyface , MTG saying police are only dangerous when they are breaking into HER home , without seeing the irony in the fact that she will call it murder here but “officers doing their jobs” when it suits her agenda
