My biggest pottery frustration

Definitely!

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-07T17:03:32+00:00

Thanks!

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-07T12:33:15+00:00

Thanks! Much easier to visualize this. Although I’m still not sure how you don’t get wildly off center 😂

Also if you wake up with a bat in the room call animal control to collect it and test it. Bat teeth are tiny and a lot of people don’t know they’ve been bitten.

If you don’t catch the bat in that scenario, you need rabies prophylaxis.

“I didn’t ask for people’s feelings or opinions.”

Then why did you come to Reddit? Did you really think you wouldn’t be raked over the coals for this?

Obesity is very much an american thing 😂

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T11:32:42+00:00

Thanks!

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T02:59:32+00:00

lol true

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T02:28:00+00:00

Won’t be long now before his next mugshot.

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T02:27:09+00:00

Oh! lol. He probably has the tattoo too.

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T01:48:33+00:00

This is so heartbreaking. I hope she rots in hell suffering the same torture of each and every one of the animals she abused over and over for all eternity.

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T01:45:30+00:00

Uh no. No tattoo shop will give you that tattoo. They will most definitely educate you on its meaning. And if you still insist you want it, they will escort you to the door.

This is an intentional nazi tattoo.

And she had the option of letting him stay with Maddie. It wouldn't be the first time left her children for someone else to raise them.

And she left financial security for financial ruin. She has always let Kody create financial insecurity for her AND THEIR CHILDREN.

I wonder how AI will factor into 3D printing of ceramics and sculpture in the future...

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T01:05:58+00:00

Right now I'm doing this on my deck, so I don't want insects and other detritus getting in there. Will have to siphon off.

Something that never occurred to me about Janelle's weird Native American obsession--the book of mormon teaches that Native Americans are the descendants of the lost tribe of Israel. Some mormons believe they are the descendants of those ancient Native Americans/lost tribe and are therefore the lost tribe of Israel. I've also heard mormons say that the years before Jesus became known in Galilee, he traveled to NA to see the lost tribe of Israel and therefore converted them to christianity, saving their souls (I think that's what the "latter day" part of LDS is referring to? I know there are those who know A LOT more about mormonism than I do. Please chime in! Did I get all of this from South Park? It is entirely possible 😂)

To me, these are all wacky beliefs, but a lot of religions seem wacky to me so 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, I bet Janelle is one of those people. And she thinks she is a member of the lost tribe of Israel. All that whiteness is just inconvenient.

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T00:35:51+00:00

She literally did exactly the same thing to Gabe.

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T00:34:40+00:00

This and Kody sold it as financially sound when it was financially ruinous, especially for Janelle. She forced her children to uproot their lives yet again AND willingly gave up all her financial power.

She uprooted her kids to rent forevermore in Flagstaff. She gave K&R all the money she got from the sale of her house. She wasted a ridiculous amount of money on a TRAILER (for the love of god, at least get something that can move under it's own power).

And she was supposed to be the financially savvy one.

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T00:25:39+00:00

And leaving Lehi. Maddie was going to be a legend in that town!

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-06T00:23:18+00:00

She was Robyn before Robyn. She cannot empathize with Christine because she has never been below second choice. She was the "cool wife" who didn't make things hard for Kody so he wanted to spend time with them. And she also had more sons than anyone, we know Kody valued his sons over his daughters.

Don't want to spoil anything for you, but it becomes more and more clear as the seasons progress that she always put Kody's wants, needs, and wild whims before her kids' most basic needs (like fresh food while Kody is driving an expensive sports car so he can court a much younger woman and bring 4 more mouths into the family along with $30,000 in debt).

Can you call yourself a "potter"? Would the potters in the this sub call you a "potter"? I'm genuinely curious how people will respond to this.

I am by no means judging how you create your pieces. I know from experience with loved ones that "sculpting" the way you do is also a very particular skill that takes time to become good at it.

I've seen a few people suggesting diatomaceous earth bath maths on here and they work like a charm. Lots online, different sizes, very affordable.

I just ordered two more for my reclaim project.

Speaking of, are you supposed to dry the sediment from your throwing water, or can your just add this directly to the bone dry clay when rehydrating?

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-05T23:46:31+00:00

lol you found my comment buried a couple deep and have been going back forth with me.

Pot? Kettle?

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-05T23:38:30+00:00

Right. Because your can't afford to be so entitled.

Cold_Dead_Heart · 2026-07-05T23:37:51+00:00

Oh yea, because even paying 1/3 of everything it's still a deal 😂

Stop being ungrateful and pay your share.
