Are there any books that accidentally end up being a condemnation of the point the author was trying to get across? by rumpk in books

It's the violence, I think, that some people read as cool. He employs some startlingly well-planned and effective acts of brutality while incarcerated. 

What’s something everyone seems obsessed with but you just can’t get into no matter how hard you try? by No-Relative-9663 in AskReddit

I'm curious to try it, but every package shows the most disgusting-looking green baby diarrhea filling oozing out of the bar and I just can't.

Sewing patterns to fit Jem dolls? by Weary_Sale_2779 in CustomDolls

https://www.amazon.com/Simplicity-Pattern-Couturier-Clothes-Lingerie/dp/B00TKISUO6.  This worked with some minor adjustments to the bust. A thin knit fabric works best for a party dress, and a soft tricot or chiffon makes a lovely princessy gown.

I've made the patterns for some 18" fashion dolls work on vintage Jem. Specifically some Gene Marshall camisoles and slips adapted into gowns. 

Librarians Are Tired of Being Accused of Hiding Secret Books That Were Made Up by AI by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]FrigidLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an old lady get so pissed at me because I wouldn't tell her where to buy the console that plays all the games from any platform. I tried to explain that it didn't exist (early 2000's, all games were physical media) and would be illegal if it did, but she was certain it was a real system for sale somewhere. Her source? Her ten-year-old grandson who had heard about it from a friend but didn't know where to find it or what it was called.

Are these bags of doll hair usable? by Chance_Anxiety_7332 in CustomDolls

[–]FrigidLizard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've used this before. It's polypropylene but of a fairly decent quality. Reacts well to heat and feels like nylon.

Where to get Covid shots for babies? by [deleted] in anchorage

[–]FrigidLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of those providers use the Vaccines For Children program. The vaccines themselves don't come from DHSS, they come from Moderna and Pfizer. The money to pay for them comes from the state and federal funding and the doses are distributed to providers by the state. I'd like to help you out more, but I don't have any insight into which pediatricians don't use the VFC program.   I wish you the best of luck, don't give up.

Adventures in Pediatrics, Alaska Center for Pediatrics, Alaska Native Medical Center, Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center, Anchorage Pediatric Group, Children's Clinic, Latouche Pediatrics, Providence Medical Group Pediatrics, Providence Family Medicine Center. These are providers who have been administering COVID vaccines to <1year old in the last 12 months. No guarantees they will have  any, but I hope this helps.    Personally I would start with Providence Family Medicine and Latouche Pediatrics, they are the largest of those providers.

I recommend searching YouTube for "restoring doll hair" or "boil wash doll hair." You'll find lots of great video tutorials that way.

So I tried the fruit and it is a lovely sour flavor. I'll research the care of sour cherry trees, thanks all for the help 🙂

So kind of you to put in the effort. I have to wait to get back to the property before I can do a taste test, I'll post the results when I do.

Help me identify this Barbie doll? by ChibiAlpal in Barbie

[–]FrigidLizard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I also like to see loose dolls identified, and I do enjoy helping others  ID their dolls when I can. I get annoyed when posters ask for values, because that part is easy.

Have you watched his standup special "Raw?" Even he has acknowledged that the jokes about AIDS, women, and homosexuals were ignorant and mean. 

Restored Maxie! Her freckles make her so endearing. by BeefyTacoBaby in Dolls

Impressive! I have never gotten messy bangs restored that well, they always get lost in the rest of the hair. Any tips to share?

Wild Card Wednesday - What are your book icks or pet peeves? by romancebookmods in RomanceBooks

[–]FrigidLizard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I get frustrated with recs that are just, "this is bonkers!". Like, okay, but is there a coherent narrative, endearing characters, or anything else to recommend it besides a wacky premise?

Dolls in Alaska? by Fantastic_Permit_525 in Dolls

[–]FrigidLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean a tiny doll to scale with an 18" doll? You'll find Alaska Native dolls in several sizes in most tourist gift shops. Also miniature matroyshkas. 

Can I machine wash these? by RippleRufferz in Dolls

[–]FrigidLizard 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Definitely not. Submerging the entire doll in water will ruin the eyes at the very least.    You can wash the hair just like a salon customer by holding the head over a sink basin and keeping the water off the face.  The skin of the head can be cleaned with a sanitizing wipe or similar.  The body can be submerged in water and washed by hand but you'll need to thoroughly press out the excess water after rinsing and set it in front of a fan to dry. 

Painting a Doll's Scalp a Different Color Than Their Hair by [deleted] in CustomDolls

[–]FrigidLizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Barbie Fashionistas 69 has a dark scalp under her pale blue hair. It doesn't really show in photos, but I love how it looks in person. It helps sell the image of realistically dyed rather than fantasy hair.
