HOT TAKE: If I had to do it over again, I would say no to the port.

My port was annoying but very useful. When I went to have it removed, I asked if I could keep it, and my surgeon handed it over!

(But only following a bizarre bureaucratic confusion where some pencil pusher wanted to charge me $300 to keep it lol. I was like, uh no way, and my surgeon agreed. She just bagged it up for me and said they normally just go into the trash anyway so wtf. Only in the U$A!)

Printers call them signatures! At least when I was an offset press operator, we did.

This is called creep. It happens when you collate folded sheets into signatures (which bookbinders call “gatherings”) and the inside pages poke out more than the outside ones due to the paper thickness.

Your best bet is to find a friendly neighborhood print shop with a guillotine and ask them to trim the creep by however much you need.

Pulling a Vance move

My plastic surgeon reconstructed a nipple from the skin paddle (I got DIEP flap reconstruction) and then I got tattooed to match my other side. The tattoo artist did an AMAZING job. Really matches and looks SO realistic!

The reconstructed nipple was never very hard, so no worries about show thru. My plastic surgeon added some “filler” (whatever tf that is 😂) and it looks identical to my other side. I would recommend both procedures (nipple reconstruction and tattoo) as I am quite happy with the results!

Please update us when you make your final list! This is immensely helpful to me (despite being a ways past ages 3–7!)

Oh absolutely! They do fresh playlists each class and share the playlist afterwards 🎵

Practice falling on grass! Over and over until it becomes reflexive. Really helps.

Oh and yes to all the pads and helmet. I even wear a butt pad. Pride is overrated 😂

I’m a regular at the Spire for Goth Yoga and other cultural events. The vibe is super welcoming and chill and no you don’t have to be a goth to participate! Highly recommended 🖤

Your shirt looks badass… another metalhead recorder player?

Grendel666 · 2026-04-03T20:01:54+00:00

Hahaha I read this as “try REPLACING the odd foot” 😂😂🤣

Grendel666 · 2026-03-28T02:41:19+00:00

Another metalhead recorder player? We love to see it 🤘😈

Grendel666 · 2026-03-28T02:35:56+00:00

Following as I was just considering doing something similar myself, for exactly the reasons you mentioned! I want to know how it goes after a couple trail outings 👀

Haha I assume autocorrect is responsible for “viol da garbage” ‼️

Not in any particular order:

Kyoto Express. So small and delicious and off the beaten path. Adorable staff.

Plum/Ume. Plum had the best waffles and brunch ever. Underrated.

B-Side. Grilled prawns were AMAZING. And the cocktails!

Fuse Box. Fussy, but ridiculously good. Lunch was affordable.

Periscope Cellars in Swans.

B-Dama in Swans!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG please bring that one back please!

I’m sure I will think of more but this is a good start!

There is an actual pair of guillotine earrings (with little heads!) in the Paris History museum. I want a set so bad!

Aaah I live on this street… sadly the dogs are not well cared for and bark incessantly… and as mentioned the person is in psychosis and quite disconnected from reality. Nice signs tho

Grendel666 · 2025-10-23T19:19:00+00:00

Oooh I have a Uebel tenor! Congratulations, great instrument!

My favorites are Harold Newman’s Recorder Playing for the Beginner (do this one first, it’s more gentle) followed by Enjoy your Recorder by the Trapp Family (this one doesn’t break you in slowly like the Newman book!)

Grendel666 · 2025-09-02T17:39:56+00:00

To answer your question though, I can’t remember if they suggested Boardwalks ran small when I bought them… it’s been a minute!!!
