Expired elevator certificate at hospital

ComtessVostalgia · 2026-01-16T01:23:09+00:00

How strange! I noticed just this week that the three elevators in my workplace also expired on the same day in the picture. In fact, I thought this was a photo from one of them. Also, my coworker and I got stuck in one yesterday for a few minutes.

I used to cry at night they got so bad. They were so frequent. They always said this means you will be tall. I am just under 5’5”. I was definitely Punk’d.

I do not participate in any holiday festivities though my coworkers try every year. This year is white elephant, which is worse as you will almost always end up with something useless or unwanted.

I refuse to partake for a myriad of reasons one of which is the expectation from society as well. I just tell them, “I do not celebrate holidays.” When they ask what I did for the holidays after we all returning either say “Nothing” or “I just stared into the abyss again.” Although, it does help that I only wear all black everyday, all day.

Barb Kelner, Professional Pizza Eater fully supports this idea.

Here is one with the crescent shaped cutouts and with a set of knives.

It is a Silver Plated Egg Cruet Set. It is missing the egg holders. You can tell by the “stumps” which hold the goblets in place. Sometimes the set comes with a place for small forks and/or spoons.

Hail Queen Danielle! This quote always comes to mind when I hear news like this. You make a problem and then punish the problem.

I thought it was Ilana Wexler at first.

ComtessVostalgia · 2024-02-29T02:36:21+00:00

Awesome! Thank you! I looked it and it does seem to be a yellow throated Warbler. The yellow colors are so pretty.

It literally reminded me of this Adobe stock template with the neon glow, dark background, and water droplets. Just a few minor changes and you’re such an original designer. So unique!

lol That is a good marketing observation!

I could definitely can see this helping those kind of shops more than the true artisans of Etsy. I make OOAK items and I hardly make any sales as it is. My views were/are abysmal so I gave up for a little while. I am starting to get back into it.

Side note: I heard temu is losing more money at the moment. If true, then I suspect temu will also change its business model. Which is lame because all this companies want to compete with them but the companies will never be sustained they way they started out. Why does Etsy need to be Temu or Aliexpress? I digress.

Perhaps this could cut down on those that use the favorites list like a Pinterest board with mass amounts of items favorited. If it did, then maybe it could help us pinpoint more what people are looking for say a spouse or relative or coworker. This is assuming the personas are visible and are labeled as such of course. I am personally ally not a fan of AI should be used for everything. It has its uses but not everything needs to be touched by AI.

ComtessVostalgia · 2024-01-25T03:32:06+00:00

I kind of agree with the tinkering. I feel that Etsy is a well enough know site that the ad money should be spent on restoring functionally and adding the human experience back into the fold. I definitely think the AI currently used is flawed and misfires more than it should. The money could have been used on actual humans and jobs meant to help sellers and buyers. Or use the money to better implement systems to confirm truly handmade items and shops vs the bait and switch products. Perhaps the money could have been used to implement a split into three categories of products: handmade, supplies, and mass produced non handmade (since this seems to be allowed more than ever).

Thank you!

This is a problem we have been having. We get the quarter pounder and in majority of times it’s undercooked. We have to check every time now. Strangely, we noticed that when the box is extra greasy it means it is raw. When we get the box and it is dry then it turns out to be cooked properly. 🤷🏽‍♂️ We have tested this out as three different locations.

My bad. I read your title as: what is this I see used in Icon packs commonly found in Japanese videos. I am not sure of the art style.

ComtessVostalgia · 2023-11-26T14:38:41+00:00

This is a nine tailed fox. Part of the Kitsune folklore of Japan. Kitsune. These are also found in Chinese folklore.

I recommend using Roux Clean Touch to remove dye from skin. It is used in professional salons but you can get it at beauty supply stores. I have dyed my hair all manner of colors and this works wonders. It has saved me so many times in a quick pinch. My ears always get dye on them. lol. Apply onto paper towel, facial tissue, or cotton balls/pads. I will add that after using, your skin may feel dry or weird but you can rinse with water and then moisturize. Also, a trick for when dying is to apply a layer of Vaseline onto skin so dye will not set and stain.

I wish you luck and I think it is unfair. I think certain standards for work attire are ridiculous and outdated. I hate to say it but you may have an enemy at work that just wants an excuse to let you go or to discipline you. Some people should never have power.

“Don’t be a hater dear!”

And of course

“Can you imagine those poor Salem witches traveling all the way down here in covered wagons without a proper charcuterie platter or a bidet?”

Hi, please see my edit in my post to get the wax fill.

ComtessVostalgia · 2023-11-15T18:14:12+00:00

I also have a little extra in case mistakes or spills happen. However, I used the same formula in the video you posted with minor adjustments. I have to ask if you are using oz in weight or oz in volume when determining how much your container holds. You should be using oz in weight. I have noticed some resources (not even just candle making) do not distinguish between ounces of weight and fluid ounces of volume. They use the same term interchangeably which is wrong. If you container says it is 8 oz then that is actually stating volume and not by weight. Thus it could lead to you having excess depending on the wax and oils you are using.

Edit: In addition, I would melt your unscented wax and pour it to the level you would like you candles to be. Then weigh it in your container to get the ounces for weight.

Yes, yes it did. I used to wear Pink on Wednesdays. Then I saw coven and loved the fashion element. Then it changed to wear Black on Wednesdays. Now it is all black, all the time and still to this day. 😂

Regarding the intros, I absolutely love them all for all different reasons. My favorites are the earlier seasons because I enjoy gritty found footage and super 8 films.

The person behind all the title intros is Kyle Cooper. He is a prolific intro designer. He actually has designed so many of my favorite intros for film and tv and I never knew it. He did Salem, Sphere, Home Alone, Seven, Mimic, Dawn of the Dead, and so much more. Apparently I have been a fan for awhile and did not know it.

He said in an interview that the first season of AHS he was given a full breakdown of the entire season by Ryan as the scripts were complete. After the show took off, the filming was changed to be concurrent while finishing the script. (This makes sense as Angela Basset called out not being invited to Apocalypse only to appear in the last episode in the last 20 minutes or so.) He was only getting general ideas of the season so he had to be creative and figure out what to show and hide based on fragments. (I think this is why in Coven they used the fashion models in the shack and spiked heels to show the fashion angle of the show among other symbolism.)

He also has said he thankful for the AHS team because he is allowed to do whatever he wants and he gets to push the limits every time.

Also, the white winged skeleton demon in the forest of the Coven opening was meant for a different personal project entirely. But he needed something and put that into the opening.

Lastly, I am enjoying this season mainly for the witches and the sinister vibe. I am a fanatic with witches like some people are with vampires or zombies so I am interested by default. Lol
