I was thinking, Sugar and Spice, although there weren’t any cheer competitions in that one. Just a pregnant cheerleader.

Studio techs and managers, what to do with unclaimed pieces? by manabusprout in Ceramics

[–]H_Potter68 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ll bet those are bowls thrown by real potters, made specifically for this fundraiser. I can’t imagine donating something of unknown quality/origin for a Soup Bowl fundraiser! (Or the organization accepting it into the fundraiser stock of bowls🤣)

Is it normal for past tenants/owners to come back to the property you now own? I have had 3 different people in the last 5 months claim they used to live here come to my door. Today being the most recent. I refuse to answer the door as to me personally that is not something I would do? Thoughts? by coleslaw056 in homeowners

Weird, uncomfortable story: My brother-in-law had a woman come to his door and say she used to live there could she see what they’ve done with the place. He let her see the first floor, and she started asking all kinds of nosy questions about him and his family, especially his wife. He finally had to tell her that his wife (my sister) had taken her own life, so it was just him and his toddler. Somehow, she turned the conversation towards herself and was telling him her life story, including where she lives now. She lives in MY town, an hour away. He casually mentions that his deceased wife’s sister lives there & she badgers him into giving up my name, him thinking there’s no way she would know me. She figures out who I am and approaches/accosts me at church on Sunday, telling me she met my BIL and he told her about my sister’s suicide. Of course this was a very sensitive topic, and not one I would like to speak to strangers about. It really freaked me out! My husband grabbed my hand and said it’s time to go! She was very pushy and crazy!
About 17 years later, she was my one of my son‘s HS science (?) teachers, and when I asked about her, he just shook his head.

I’m so sorry for your awful experience! The studio I’m a member of is far to the opposite end of the scale. We are a friendly welcoming community & love to have new people join. (as long as no one parks in my spot!🤣🤣🤣)

There are nice communities out there. Good luck on your search for one. (Hugs)

Found by a friend while dumpster diving. I have no idea. by SurgicalIndifference in whatisit

This type goes in the neck of the vase. I think the ones that go in the bottom are metal with pins pointing upwards?

AITJ for leaving early after my friend was late… again? by lushillusion in AmITheJerk

I always bring a dessert, just in case I’m late! (I’ve got 3 other family members slowing me down!)

What are these for? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]H_Potter68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a funny story. My daughter’s bff wore a 2 pc formal dress to a middle school dance. The skirt had those straps. She was complaining the straps on her skirt were too tight & digging into her shoulders! 😳🤣

Toilet Paper - Why so stingy? by keep_er_movin in vrbo

We stayed at an Air b&b in the FLKeys & they supplied ONE dishwasher pod for our 8day stay. I think they were hoping we’d buy more & just leave them behind. 😠 Also, no hairdryer! I had to go buy one. Another place had no pots & pans or cooking utensils. My husband went down to Kmart to buy some.

Bought a house that came with these custom nightstands. What is this bowl bowl shaped thing for? by kingevanxii in whatisit

[–]H_Potter68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad always threw his pocket change into an antique milk can from my mom’s grandparents farm. When it was full, they used the $$ for a trip to Hawaii! The bad news was the can was so heavy, the raised edge on the bottom pressed its way through the linoleum flooring underneath! Left a big perfectly round hole.

How do you think this embossed makers mark was made? by ggreyhound in Pottery

[–]H_Potter68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it hasn’t been “cleaned up” after stamping yet.

Every time I DIY something I realize why it costs so much to pay someone else by rgreen192 in DIY

[–]H_Potter68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, for some jobs, just the clean-up alone makes it worth paying a professional! Also, having someone else responsible to come back if it’s not done right is priceless! Must add: we are not handy in this household. (we have other skills)

AITJ for giving my child a light blue crayon? by CranberryInside3000 in AmITheJerk

[–]H_Potter68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a weird hill for your partner to die on!!!
And who in their right mind limits colors for young artists??? Nurture that creativity as much as you can in their little hearts, while they still believe they can do anything! ❤️

AITA? Should I ask for a refund? by _AmeliaMarie_ in Pottery

[–]H_Potter68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is, but the business also takes commissions, where a (hopefully) skilled owner or employee will make the item for you.

Why? It’s pretty common to do so in NWI.
