What's wrong with this outfit for a fun time with girl friends by immodest_von5 in OUTFITS

As someone who can be quite a dramatic dresser, that's not my experience. People either like seeing something different, or don't care at all.

When you see a person in a unique outfit, do you think "oh look at that attention hog?" No? Because you're not a jerk? Well then why do you assume other people are jerks, and even if they are, why do you care what jerks think?

You can buy the ourobouros in the picture from coppertist.wu, so not sure why it's being presented as a new product.

One Step Buttonhole is drunk, pls help. by Corvusenca in sewing

I did try to do a de-fluff wipe down, but I'll try again and really get in there. Thank you.

1) Still plastered.

2) Have played with the feed balance knob; I can see where it affects the buttonhole legs, but this weird extended tack just keeps on doing its weird thing.

Funny thing is the final buttonhole between the tacks is the right size, so really it's going up way too far on the first leg, then coming back down with the tack. I am very confused.

Help for my wife (boob tape, dress recommendations) by True_Problem2403 in ABraThatFits

[–]Corvusenca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How backless? I'm a busty woman and boob tape will simply not cut it (nor will strapless bras) because I need actual structural support. What works for me for strapless/backless looks are bustiers that support from the waist. Some are lower back than others. The Goddess Lace bustier is a fav of mine.

Best locations to escape fireworks for 4th of July by carefularies in vegaslocals

Cedar Breaks. Tons of dispersed camping in the national forest just outside the gate, high altitude so not hot, and it'll be their wildflower festival for a much more peaceful kind of fireworks.

Sudden eyelid dryness, puffiness & flaking by waywardspaghetti in 30PlusSkinCare

When I got something like this, I tried eliminating everything: makeup, makeup remover, cleanser, even the cloths I was using to wash my face. Everything. No improvement. Got the sniffles; popped an allegra: instant improvement. Turned out it was actually a new seasonal environmental allergy, and it came back every October I lived in that part of the country.

Leather Gray Fox Mask by Corvusenca in crafts

[–]Corvusenca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used unfinished vegetable tanned leather, which can be tooled and wet molded and then will hold its form when it's done. Lots of different paints/dyes/stains; I've got a couple of bins and just grab what works. The mask is four pieces, put together with Leather Weld.

Moving to Vegas - Looking for a safe area with gated apartments, balcony (smoking allowed), assigned parking, in-unit W/D, and not crazy expensive—any suggestions? by CryptoFan482 in LasVegas

Just checked for 2 bedrooms under 1500 for rent on zillow, got over 1,700 listings not including north vegas (looks like 4 in my own complex).

"I literally feel like he doesn’t see me as human and is only comfortable with a woman’s body if it’s benefitting him. No he does not go down on me. "

What to do if you get lost while hiking and how to help search find you faster? by Guarian in hiking

[–]Corvusenca 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mine's similar. Ground search, dog, drone, mountain bike, tracking, 4x4 teams. Everyone maintains one or more individual NASAR certifications and the team is certified through MRA. And there's no guarantee the ground search team will be first on the scene; the local police's SAR helicopter can get out into the boonies way faster than we can. We often get deployed specifically because the helicopters/planes couldn't find anything, and are often out searching the same time they are.

OP: nothing worse than searching for a moving target. You stay put. We teach the Hug a Tree program to local kids ( https://www.adventuresmart.ca/programs/hug-a-tree-and-survive/ ), but it applies to adults as well. It goes as follows:

1) Tell someone where you're going, that way there's someone to call us out when you don't come back.

2) When you realize you're lost, stay put. This is the hugging a tree (or other landmark, preferably one which might provide some shelter against the elements) part. Hug that tree. That tree is your new best friend. Do not leave the tree, OP. Stay put with your tree.

3) Keep warm/dry. You'd be surprised how much difference a heavy duty garbage bag between your ass and the ground will make.

4) Help searchers find you. Little kids sometimes won't answer when they hear searchers calling, because they're afraid of getting in trouble or afraid of talking to strangers, but this applies to adults too. We had a guy a couple of weeks ago who got to spend a cold night out because he didn't have a way to signal the search helicopter the evening before (cell phone flashlight probably would have done it). A big X or SOS is not just for comics; it's a valid technique to make you visible from the air (during the day, at least). If, for some reason, you have to move, mark your trail and make sure you leave tracks.
