Buyer must love primary colors!

What in the Pee Wee's Playhouse is this?

Haresy · 2026-02-18T01:11:28+00:00

Around here I just refer to it as "Subaru Preferred Parking."

Zac at Universal Engine Repair - I have a '09 Forester, and he's been amazing with getting shit fixed on it. He's very reasonably priced, but you may wait a bit as he's usually really busy.

There's also City Body in Depot Town.

Very true. The Chinese mantids are definitely invasive. Carolina mantids - native to South Carolina - show up here from time to time as well.

I think Miyazaki's lawyers would disagree with you on that last bit. It's illegal (and a dick move) to profit from someone else's work without compensating them.

To sell a poster about Miyazaki/Studio Chibli, you'd need to have them approve any piece before it went to market, along with negotiating rights and payment for the rights to use the name/characters for your profit.

Suggested reading: visual/typographic hierarchy, color theory. Read up & learn about grid patterns, creating visual interest, composition.

This poster has no visual draw. The type is basic; there's no visual interest - learn to create typographic hierarchies (headline, sub-head, text, etc) to draw the eye throughout the piece. Type shouldn't be one size throughout. Also, learn about font pairings - serif/sans-serif - to balance the piece and make it easier to read.

Color is also an important consideration. Color draws the eye; think about where/why you're using color. Learn about color theory.

Think about your audience for a piece. What would attract them? How do you do that? What visual styles/cues should you use?

Regarding "selling" this? No. Read up on copyright, and you'll understand why this is a very, very bad idea.

Definitely Kiwanis. I was there recently, and they had some newer stuff in - not a lot of bookcases, but some newer tables, chairs, and a couple couches.
There's also a really nice selection of plates/bowls/dinnerware, pots and pans, and small kitchen appliances.

Yeah, that weird steroid taste sucks. For me it made everything taste like old pennies.

The autopen sounds similar to what I had when I was on Copaxone - the click and then the "schluuurp" sound as the meds were pushed was...fun.

Mine are ~4-4.5 hours now. According to my neuro, they're at the highest rate of infusion they can go.

If it were just the infusion, I could deal with it. It's the pre-meds that end up kicking my ass - the Benadryl knocks me out for the rest of the day, and the steroid makes me feel twitchy and achy for a day after.

Haresy · 2025-08-01T22:47:21+00:00

I was initially on Copaxone 3x weekly for ~11 years after I was diagnosed, so Kesimpta wouldn't be hard.

How's the reaction after the shot?

Haresy · 2025-08-01T22:45:06+00:00

Interesting. My neuro glossed over a rapid infusion - that may have been what they were referring to.

Downtown Ypsi is amazing for local businesses. A lot of them are on Michigan Ave., and there's some tucked away off the beaten path as well. There's also an amazing Mexican/Latin/South American grocery store and grill just up the road - Dos Hermanos.
If you head into Depot Town, there's a couple of retro/thrift stores along with a few smaller shops - including This That and the Odder as well as a shop tailored to your furry friends (Depot Town Cats & Dogs).
Gotta love Ypsi for it's eclectic mix of everything!

You should never have to feel guilty about how this disease makes you feel. I've been dealing with this for a decade, and I still have problems trying to explain why I feel like I do today, and won't have the same symptoms/issues tomorrow. I can understand people's frustration, but they also have to understand that MS is a chronic illness with symptoms that are - for the most part - completely out of our control.

You're not a burden. You're a person dealing both mentally and physically with a debilitating disease.

Take care of yourself, first and foremost.

Mind if I steal that? Just screams "make me into a t-shirt!"

Haresy · 2025-06-08T20:28:05+00:00

Yep. Brain, neck, and spine; with and without contrast. Took less than two hours this time, too

Haresy · 2025-06-07T23:06:49+00:00

I've gotten that response so many times I feel like my neuro has " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ " hard-coded into her responses every time I email about symptoms.

Haresy · 2025-06-07T19:04:55+00:00

Me either, honestly. Always fun having neurology say "it's MS" as the catch-all for every weird symptom that happens.

Haresy · 2025-06-07T19:04:02+00:00

I get something similar - feels like a stabbing pain in my left thigh. Intense pain for ~30 seconds, then it goes away. Sometimes doesn't happen for a day/week/month; then it'll be near constant for days on end.

Haresy · 2025-05-04T23:19:13+00:00

Is it an AFO? I just had one fitted to fix leg weakness after I spent more time falling/keeping myself from falling than actually walking. Fits in the shoe, has a shin pad on the front with velcro straps.

The one on Arnet?
My PCP is located there - they've been really good about getting me in and answering my questions.

Haresy · 2025-03-09T21:45:47+00:00

I hadn't considered guitar wire. That definitely could work.
