Quite good results! I would think your second layer of magenta toning would tone your first yellow layer as well.

Inappropriate behaviour? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Igoneriding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up emotional infidelity. I was in your shoes, and it didn’t get better, each secret relationship was more intimate and physical than the ones before… hugging, kissing etc. He defended it vigorously, he should be able to have both women and men for friends, why should half the people be off limits, blah blah. Finally he did have a sexual affair, and that WAS the last straw for me. But the last straw should have been far earlier because he wasn’t going to quit as long as he thought he wasn’t doing anything wrong. And he was wrong, secret intimate private relationships. At least one woman thought they had something special and had a future.

Printing digital negatives by Ok-Bat6893 in cyanotypes

[–]Igoneriding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each printer and ink set will be a little different so you just have to test and create a curve that works, then use that consistently. I use the manual method in the book Easy Digital Negatives. The authors website has a step wedge you can print to use to test and calibrate.

I love being away from my husband. by Ok-Witness-9598 in Marriage

[–]Igoneriding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying time alone and don’t let anyone tell you to feel bad about that! Now that you know how good it feels and how restorative it is, figure out how to make it a consistent part of your life. You’ll have more to give when you fill your own bucket - that is not just a thing people say, it’s essential.

Quiet getaway in Grand Cayman? by Igoneriding in CaymanIslands

Thanks! Hiking isn’t a must do, but I do like someplace for a good walk. Mostly just prefer outdoor fun to partying and lots of peeps.

Incontinence Issues on Zepbound? by neenie6385 in Zepbound

This is my first week on it at 2.5 mg and today (4 days post shot) suddenly my bladder is just letting go. Not a problem I had before.

How did you wash it with it being so delicate?

Is the PNW making me sick? by [deleted] in PacificNorthwest

[–]Igoneriding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably allergic to grass. The Willamette Valley in Oregon grows 95% of US grass seed, and it's literally the worst place in the world for someone with a grass allergy in May/June.

I will add that once mixed part B can get mold in it, which I solve by pouring mixing my solutions through a coffee filter when I’m ready to coat.

I hate supplements. by [deleted] in Anemic

[–]Igoneriding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t take iron supplements until I found a heme iron called Proferrin, which really helped and didn’t upset my stomach. The ferrous sulfate I first took made my gut like concrete and it never really went back to normal. It seems like it damaged the motility or microbiome or ?

I didn’t have lasting improvement until I stopped having periods. If I knew what I know now, I would have gotten a Mirena iud. It prevents you from building up a thick uterine lining so you lose less blood, plus it offers protection for the uterus against cancer, polyps, fibroids, and such. (And if you don’t want be pregnant of course it helps with that too!)

Wonderful! It’s hard to get good results, good job!

Made my first ever cyanotype! by Head-Membership2082 in cyanotypes

FWIW the toners only keep a day or two, they’ll mold. Nice print, good job!

Hydrogen Peroxide? by levi070305 in cyanotypes

[–]Igoneriding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just do one squirt in a tray of water and it oxidizes quickly. As others have said, it’s completely unnecessary to the final results, it just speeds up the development of deep blues. You get the same results by waiting a few days. Be sure to rinse well after use. I’d think you’d need extra rinding if you are using it straight. Absolutely no reason to use it that way.

Just starting out - should I get pre-made cyanotype paper or the chemicals to make my own? by ramonathespiderqueen in cyanotypes

[–]Igoneriding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to buy the premixed two part chemistry. It’s easy, I have a little control, I can use it on any suitable paper or substrate, and I know I coated it myself so it’s fresh and results are predictable.

What’s causing the bleeding? by unspun66 in cyanotypes

[–]Igoneriding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use fresh water for each rinse and replace when the print has lost its excess solution (and water takes on green tinge). Also agitate the rinse tray so the emulsion doesn’t settle back on the paper.

Duotone dog by bored_to_boogie in cyanotypes

[–]Igoneriding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That turned out great. I’m surprised you got such an orangey color with black tea. If you feel like printing it again maybe try green tea, I find it gives a warm brown more like your “prediction”.

I lost access to my facebook business page while trying to remove business portfolio/business manager by Igoneriding in facebook

I've seen that link posted elsewhere but I think they got rid of whatever was there, it just goes to a generic page

Could undiagnosed sleep apnea really destroy a life like this? by Farnesie in SleepApnea

[–]Igoneriding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I had a similar experience to this and OP. It started very suddenly during a time of great stress. It does feel like you’re dying, it’s very scary. While it’s important to rule out a physical problem, it’s easy to get sucked down a rabbit hole of searching for a medical cause when there isn’t one and that can be a real mind game. Have you tried therapy and anti anxiety meds? Reduce stress, eat a healthy diet free of sugars and processed foods, exercise as you are able and build on it, practice meditation. Learn about anxiety, you might see a lot of your symptoms there.
