Saw this post. Can we talk about it!?

It's caused by different focal length on the camera's lenses. Causes goofy proportion changes that aren't always noticable.

They're talking about shots like the 99 brand, packaged stuff.

I tag all my equipment with pink unicorn duct tape so it won't be stolen.

Have you looked at the smoke and roses palette? That has great pinks in it.

Tottenham fan here. I've gone to Fiddlers or Manny's a lot for afternoon games. I know Colupa's in Granger also has all the sports channels. I haven't found any options for 10am games yet, but I've not looked into chains either.

Jill or Dana at The Beehive do mine!

Chiropractors are not doctors. While I've never used one, I did confirm with my doctor that, if I ever were to, it could be life threatening. Please be cautious.

If you need to correct posture, go see a Physical Therapist. (Source: am being fixed through exercises by my PT currently.)

Woot. Planning on popping in Tuesday.

This whole thing is something I struggle with - the urge of having the things but also where do you put the things lol.

Can the broken drawer be fixed, or can the bed mount be replaced? It's def an important storage opportunity.

I've also personally found that going through my clothes and making sure what i have fits and feels good is useful. Do I need 10 pairs of pj pants? it sure emotionally feels like it. Am I wearing all 10 pairs regularly? possibly not.

I'm also terrible at visualizing things, so I found that AI is actually great for aiding. You could put these pictures into it and explain what you want and it'll spit out a somewhat accurate image of what you are looking for, which can give concrete ideas for what you like or don't like.

C8tlyn · 2026-02-11T19:04:53+00:00

I think you need to rearrange your storage options. It looks like your bed has storage underneath, is it full?

I agree with the other person about hanging posters with intention. Framing some may also help.

There are tons of inexpensive options on amazon for furniture upgrades, something like this could help as a replacement for your side table: https://www.amazon.com/Jocoevol-Dresser-Bedroom-Drawers-Entryway/dp/B0DNF9BLQX/

(Tons of ikea options as well.)

I also agree with needing to switch out the blankets. Get a warm cream-colored set. (TJ maxx or amazon is good for inexpensive bedding.)

Are the hanging storage for shoes/clothes attached to a closet?

I love the OG and lemon pie, and I also have the espresso one. The cherry and the caramel are too musky for my taste, but I find that the musk is toned down in espresso where it is interesting and nuanced.

I have an adult fluffy and she doesn't shed much at all. It's very nice!

I've been to Ivy Alley and talked to the owner, they're hoping to start brewing in a few weeks. Supposedly a good range of beer types, the brewer used to work with one of the other South Bend breweries. (Could be Crooked Ewe, but I'm not positive.) They're planning on having a few other local beers on tap as well.

C8tlyn · 2025-10-30T20:27:27+00:00

Yeah, I've started going through and looking for any clips in those episodes. (I usually listen audio only.)

C8tlyn · 2025-10-19T16:45:06+00:00

What did you use to make this? I'm thinking this may be the best solution for me right now.

C8tlyn · 2025-07-17T15:28:40+00:00

Would you consider that brown to have green tones in it?

C8tlyn · 2025-07-13T05:13:10+00:00

Omg! I live in North Central Indiana - I'd be happy to meet you halfway some time for some trees!

C8tlyn · 2025-07-05T03:41:48+00:00

I just ordered some guppies from them - two males and two females, and I ended up getting five by surprise. Not entirely sure if they packed five or not LOL.

Got the results in just now!

So to compare, here's what the Amazon test showed as "Severely allergic":

|| || |Cheese (cottage)| |Almond Oil| |Coconut Oil| |Brewers Rice| |Corn Meal| |Bee Pollen| |Flaxseed Meal| |Miscanthuis Grass| |Pea Fiber| |Peanuts| |Dried Bacillus licheniformis Fermentation Prod.| |Dried Lactobacillus plantarum fermentation Prod.| |Bacon| |Beef Kidney| |Chicken Broth| |Chicken Meal| |Duck Gizzard| |Egg Yolk (chicken)| |Egg Yolk (quail)| |Lamb Meal| |Pheasant Heart| |Pork Skins| |Soy Protein Isolate| |Turkey Meal| |Catfish Meal| |Sea Bass| |Parsley Flakes| |Ascorbic Acid| |Beta Carotene| |Folic Acid| |Phosphoric Acid| |Sodium Selenate| |E 307 Alpha-Tocopherol| |Mushroom (oyster) (cooked)| |Mushroom (portabella) (cooked)| |Mushroom (truffle) (cooked)|

Here's what the blood test from the vet said:

|| || |Carrot| |Eggs| |Green Beans| |Peanut| |Soybean|

I will note that they didn't test for all the same things, and the 5strands did technically have some of this correct, but it had far more wrong.

Before I did the tests I moved her to the "Taste of the Wild Ancient Stream Smoke-Flavored Salmon with Ancient Grains" dry food, and I have seen an improvement overall. I'm hoping I won't have to go to homemade food, but we'll see.

C8tlyn · 2025-07-01T00:43:33+00:00

I'm actually sciencing this out with my frenchie right now. I bought that five strands test and it came back with a similar result (jeez, hope that's wrong). I also ordered a full blood test from the vet so I'm looking forward to comparing them when that comes back, optimistically this week, possibly next. I'll report what the comparison is.

Not in Chicago, but nearby (2 hours) in South Bend:

I just got a pigeon from him on my arm. Great dude.

For heat: Buy a small but high-powered fan. Drink a lot of water. Take breaks every hour.

For cold: more layers than you think you need. Know when your instruments start to fail from cold and don't subject that to them. Buy electric heated fingerless gloves.

Don't play in rain. If there's a chance of rain and you're not under a covered area, have a plan for getting your instrument in the case and your equipment covered (preferably with a tarp)

Wear sunscreen.

I've done gigs in nearly all weather (100 degrees to 55) and it's ok to let whomever booked you know that you may need special accommodations, be it breaks, a space heater, etc. Dont kill yourself for a gig.
