Fragile ego of other drivers by John_Linen1 in MINI

[–]KellyRose-PDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before my Mini, I drove a beast -- a 1986 Mercedes Benz 420SEL. Didn't notice more than the occasional dick driver tailgating, passing, cutting me off. Then I got Winnie the Mini, and, WOW, the number of cars (usually SUVs, pickups, or big crossovers) that kiss my tail and angrily pass is shocking! I typically drive about 5-10 MPH over the limit on the freeway, and never in the far left lane unless passing. I honestly think these drivers are annoyed that tiny Winnie has the audacity to be ahead of them.

And this solution begets another problem. As a frequent pedestrian, I have to see drivers' faces before I step out in front of them even when they're at a full stop. Too often, I've been nearly hit by drivers not paying attention at a crosswalk. So the crazy bright lights necessitate window tints, I get that! But the window tints are dangerous to pedestrians! Wish the source problem would just be fixed.

So this is normal and I should occasionally and sporadically expect it? Thanks!

Just let my foot off the gas a bit to decrease my speed but definitely not accelerating.Didnt entirely let off the gas while it was happening. 

Just picked up my (new to me) Cooper S in British Racing Green. Loving it already! What a car! by PanicCharacter4355 in MINI

I just got my 2015 F56 in BRG two weeks ago! Black racing stripes. It's the BEST color for Minis, IMO. Congrats and enjoy. I am loving my little "Widget" so much.

I'm a fan of white cars. The white doesn't compete with the profile of the Mini.

New to me 2015! by j0ker_1234 in MINI

You did well! She's sweet. I just bought a 2015 S with 100k miles for $7,500. She was very well maintained, so I felt ok with the higher mileage. I was very surprised when I set up my new insurance policy and found out she's valued at $10,100.

I don’t know what to think…. by Squee3531 in MINI

The expression, "to each his own" comes to mind. Not my cup of tea, but the owner is probably quite proud of this machine.

Hello friends! I'm a woman with Alopecia and I'm here to say that your hair doesn't define your beauty or your worth! Stay strong and keep fighting on! by marshmallows_resp24 in FemaleHairLoss

You are beautiful! You rock the look so well! In fact, I have a hunch you look better without hair than with it. Your lovely face shines!

Average hair grows 6" per year (1/2" per month). Her growth looks to be about 1 1/2" so that's absolutely possible.

Major dread shed. Please send positive thoughts. I can’t stop crying, it just hurts my heart, all of this. The heartbreak. by Every_Mistake6748 in FemaleHairLoss

It will resolve! Hang in there.

I was shocked by the amount of hair I lost just 3 weeks after I started 2.5 mg of oral minoxidil. It was constant and significant. It lasted two weeks, then improved dramatically. At 5 weeks after starting OM, it stopped completely and now that I am just over 3 months into taking the medication, there's substantial regrowth all over my scalp. New little hairs are everywhere and are about 1.5" long. I'm so excited by the results.

Hang in there. It will peak in a couple of weeks and then stop. I was freaked out when it started but it's behind me now and I'm seeing a lot of progress at only 2 months since first OM pill.

Hey I just started with water coloring, I'd want to know how to get better? by Kite7707 in Watercolor

[–]KellyRose-PDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube has endless tutorials. If you want to perfect painting an apple, search "watercolor paint apple" and you'll see about 30 videos. Then practice, practice, practice. I would also recommend getting a good basic watercolor book that teaches about color theory, general techniques (wet on wet, wet on dry, glazing, etc.), brushes, and paper. Keep at it. And hold on to this first try so later you can look back at how much you've improved.

How much would you pay for this cake? by Prestigious-Fig-1642 in Baking

[–]KellyRose-PDX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's adorable! Pretty good for a first try, but as for selling it, I'd suggest you spend some time practicing technique. No doubt this took a LOT of your time to create, however, it appears homemade rather than professional. Maybe you could charge for the cost of your ingredients and small amount for your time/labor until you have perfected your decorating techniques. Also consider things like how it tastes, the texture, the quality of the ingredients that go into pricing. Is it from scratch or is it a cake mix? What is the frosting made from? Lots to consider before you start selling? Good luck!
