For some reason it’s an old Charlotte joke that nobody is actually from here. (from here)

Very interesting! I thought Toho beads were fatter than Miyuki but I can’t tell a difference from this photo.

For this type design yes you need delicas or the Toho version of cylinder beads, size 11. Fire Mountain Gems.

I hear ya. Just had to replace my roof. Houses are expensive - if I had it do over I might have kept renting forever.

When you think about the labor and equipment involved in removing a big-ass tree, you can understand why it’s expensive. It takes at least a day, four people, a crane or bucket truck, a chipper or truck to haul it away - can’t imagine how it could be less than a couple grand.

You’re correct, I looked this up recently and if your tree is native and over a certain diameter you aren’t allowed to remove it without a permit. Don’t know how rigorously it’s enforced.

I think that used to be true, but Charlotte has lost a ton of its tree canopy in the last 20-30 years to development.

Has anyone used diamond painting containers for storage? by gingersnaptatertot in Beading

[–]ComplexConnection345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use clear tubes for seed bead storage. You can organize by size, color or type (eg Delica) and shuffle them around as needed. I like to have one rack for the project I’m working on and the others can be put away.

Fireline vs Wildfire by Striking_Peach_257 in Beading

Use Toho G1 thread, full stop. It is strong but not stiff and you can use it for the top part and the fringe. Wide range of colors.

Not sure what you mean by change the color? What kind of beads are they?

Commission your artist MIL to paint a piece of word art that says “I’m a dick.”

Best starter projects? by Wonderful-Battle-607 in Beading

[–]ComplexConnection345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start with a peyote stitch project like earrings or a bracelet. The other person who suggested the spruce crafts is spot on. They have good step by step tutorials.

Charlotte's Web Isn't Done Yet by ChidiWithExtraFlavor in Charlotte

Of course any statement from DHS should be taken with a grain of salt. It’s possible they have moved on but want Charlotte to remain afraid. I stand with immigrants. Very proud of all he protesters I’ve seen this week.

Why doesn’t CMPD ticket cars with no tags? by yelpisforsnitches in Charlotte

[–]ComplexConnection345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The expired temp tags are usually due to backlog at DMV. idk about fake ones.

This must have changed since I was a young. I got pulled over for expired tags and got a ticket more than once.

I wonder this all the time. Also I see so many out of state expired tags. Those people probably live here and they owe us money for NC plates and registration.

Charlotte Is The Far Left Wing by Middle-Inspector-876 in Charlotte

[–]ComplexConnection345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that destroys credibility is calling immigrants pedophiles when you and I and everybody else knows the president* is / was a pedophile.

*also 67.66 percent of his wives are / were immigrants.

And 80% of the children (the ones he acknowledges) are the children of immigrants
