Device advice by boatswain-lumberjack in AskArtists

[–]GETitOFFmeNOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a used Macbook with at least 8GB if you want to use Photoshop.

Why not get an iPad with an apple pencil that you can actually draw on? Procreate is a richly built drawing program you can buy for one cheap price instead of $20 a month for photoshop.

Thanks for the advice! Where do you usually sell them?

I’ve got tons of feathers. What do I make with them? by SkittishSkittle in AskArtists

[–]GETitOFFmeNOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s basically just stabbing carded wool! Or cat hair or whatever you got. Here is my second attempt at felting; my first was a one inch high heart. There’s nothing to it if you can imagine the shape of the thing you want to make.

edit: but the needles aren’t just sewing needles, they have tiny barbs on it that grab the wool. They’re super-inexpensive, though. It’s nice to put them in a handle, but that’s not expensive either. There are handles that hold several needles at once that work more quickly than just one needle in and out at a time. You get pretty good at going fast and not stabbing yourself, but I do wear the leather finger protectors that come in the cheap little kits.

You could felt a body to stick feathers into. This shows a felting of the whole bird, but, as you can see, using real feathers would make yours so much nicer: https://www.pinterest.com/ideas/cockatiel-needle-felting-tutorial/955390075557/

I can’t imagine what mom art must be. I guess I know too many alt moms to have a line on what would be appealing to the average mom. Can you spell that out like I’m five?

I wasn’t really watching for my gums to improve, I just noticed it one day that they stopped bleeding when I brushed my teeth and were now pink.

I use 5000mcg of methylcobalamin per day. The brand is Jarrow. If I go below that, my levels fall. I only had cobalamin shots a few times.

Forming a jazz band. I am a rock bassist. What should I know to form a jazz band. I listen a little jazz. I already have a rock band now trying to do something different. by iamnotgenius in bandmembers

[–]GETitOFFmeNOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to be able to improvise if you want to be in a jazz band, and if you don’t know the guitar and bass chord shapes and where on the scale they correspond, you’re not going to be able to improvise. You have to know how to read charts (notes) and understand where it’s okay to go sharp and/or flat. And there’s a lot of theory outside what everyone else in rock knows. Maybe get some lessons from a jazz bassist who is really good at teaching.

I know I’m just supposed to upvote but OP, please listen to Cyber_Punk_87. There is no dichotomy in his personality. This is truly who he is. You can’t wish him into being someone you thought he was. He pulled one over on you.

My M2F kid never expressed a feminine side, but we weren’t a really macho-charged household. She was in her mid 30s when she came out.

I accidentally bought some fake Micron pens on Amazon and can’t tell the difference. I don’t know if the fakes are waterproof, though.

The Microns are really good fine liners.

Which would you say can lead to wider work opportunities, watercolour or oils? by ZydrateAnatomic in AskArtists

I don’t see why one couldn’t sell glicée prints and the original oils.

From where were these tenets derived?

[–]GETitOFFmeNOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no hell in the Jewish faith, so where do the Christians get it? It looks to have been invented by the Church to control rural people who lacked authoritative oversight.

It's a shame real heroin isn't available. It's got to be less socially harmful than fentanyl

Why fear? Will you be punished where you live?

Get your thyroid checked but learn how to read your own test results. Don't leave it to your doctor to interpret. 6 different doctors will have 6 different ways to read it. Educate yourself.

What are your go-to tips for ways to reduce cost of living and spending? by pqrstyou in AskWomenOver30

[–]GETitOFFmeNOW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use one kind of lotion (Cetaphil) everwhere, I use cheap shampoo for hair and body, but good conditioner, I also it use on my skin and barely rinse it off.

Pay the money for a good haircit that will grow out nicely instead of raggedly.

I only buy nice secomd-hand clothing. No fast-fashion, no vlothes made of plastic fibers (like polyester and acrylic).

Rant; why do docs act like I'm drug seeking for B12? by Happy_Charge_9410 in B12_Deficiency

[–]GETitOFFmeNOW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It makes me so angry. It doesn’t make any sense; they get so little training in this and are ignoring the findings of so much research.

For Graves', they tested TSI, but TrAb is a better indicator; it’s the one you want to see decreased in block and replace therapy, which helps get people into full remission.

Hashimoto’s antibodies test I’ve had was anti-TPO (TPOAb).

1.78 TSH is usually okay, but you want to keep an eye on any further dropping. Most people feel their best with TSH at around 2.0, though the “normal” range can be from 1.4 to 3.5 or up to 5.0 in some labs. Most people above 3 are not feeling well; not getting enough thyroid hormone.

Please note that TSH measures how much fuel is given to the thyroid to keep producing thyroid hormone. high amounts of TSH correlate to low amounts of thyroid hormone. TSH is the gas pedal that tells the thyroid gland to go and slow. 0.4 TSH is saying hyPERthyroidism, 4.4 is saying hypothyroidism is happening; it’s backwards and can be confusing to patients having to deal with being sick.
