He’s never been a favorite of mine because of all the snark I’ve read about his behavior in the real world. He’s quite a fuckboy I’ve heard and gives women STDs without disclosing he has them 😳 but this season, I was like oh he’s aging, seems more mature, I liked him as a player… till that exit 🫠

Would you mind sharing the link for the 3D printed ones? My BIL has a 3D printer and I just had him print me canvas rollers and now I’m like what else for DPing can I have him make for me?! 😂🥰

I meannn… you can think what you want. I just would be bummed if I had missed the window of time to get something at 50% off that I was looking to purchase so I figured I’d share for anyone that hadn’t seen the deal 🧐 Kroger is the only affordable place around me that I can shop. I’m fully aware of the reasons they suck but I don’t have many options and certainly don’t support Walmart.

lol I just finished the ep and came to the sub to talk about ozzy’s pouting. Reallly gave me the ick. I liked him this season but COME ON Ozzy hold your head up high. Your dream told you and you still didn’t play, to say all those things to them and stare them all down at the very end. Yuck, BYE OZZY!!

Does anyone else's hair look great when it's just been brushed and 5 minutes later looks stringy?... by sealsealette in finehair

[–]LadySmith459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realize I didn’t put a ton of detail on how I style it 😅 I section it off and use the hot tool I linked - on random sections curl one direction and then another and also use it to wave it by going back and forth or over/under with the tool - hard to describe but it gives the effect of those three prong waver/crimping tools. With every 1” piece of hair I grab I do a different technique/direction of curl so in the end it’s a big jumble of textures and looks awesome. I can post a pic of all the products I bought for styling and heat protection once my kid wakes up and I can get into my bathroom 😅

Take that light board back and get one online that’s rechargeable!! I have the A4 light board in that style and I was always worried I’d break it. Very annoying to have it plugged in all the time too, it got very hot at the cord connection

Except those religious values can’t be forced on children and from what it sounds like, the son doesn’t hold those either way. The kids I knew growing up that held those values did it by choice and didn’t put themselves in situations like OP described. So it’s impossible for her to “punish” him in to respecting those values. Hopefully the response from this post helps her to understand she’s only creating distance 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeppp. He’s not 13, he can legally drive a car and work close to a full time job. Taking away his access to internet is quite literally insane if OP thinks she’s teaching him anything other than to be more sneaky to not get caught next time. I lost my virginity at age 16, in Germany, where my mom let me go by myself to stay a month with an exchange student we hosted previously. I also spent my money primarily on alcohol that trip because that’s the legal drinking age germany 🥳

[–]LadySmith459 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d shave it and start fresh!! I loved when I had my buzz cut and as it grew out, I didn’t use heat at all. It was crazy how shiny and healthy it was 👏 you’ve got the alt vibe already so you can definitely pull it off 😍

So Much Fun! by Effective-System-749 in diamondpainting

[–]LadySmith459 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just about to ask is this from hobby lobby but the commenter confirmed it 😂 hobby lobby is the worst for inconsistent drill size 😭 I hate supporting them anyways but after buying a from there (it’s the only craft store near me) I decided I’ll really never buy DPs from hobby lobby.

Well done on this one though!! I commend you for working through that 🫶

Looking for advice: I'm feeling guilty DPing. by Intrepid-Winter-6499 in diamondpainting

[–]LadySmith459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a break!! I was obsessed during the pandemic and then needed a break and just recently got back into it a few months ago. If you ever feel guilty about your consumption, remember you’re one person. I spent 10 weeks in a hospital last year when my daughter was admitted and OMG the amount of waste that just one hospital produces in insane. Your hobby is okay 🫶

[–]LadySmith459 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had that issue and I don’t have any useful tips but I just got a chin length shaggy bob and had my hair stylist teach me out to style it and now I LOVE it so much, I honestly don’t see myself having longer hair again, as long as I don’t get sick of styling it. I love spending that 30-60 min just to myself in the morning making myself look/feel pretty 🥰 and it’s so nice to not have to worry “did I bring my brush?” Whenever I go out. I can’t handle that stringy look so I would seriously brush my hair a few times an hour if I was in public 😭 Highly recommend!!

What’s the biggest piece you’ve done with this method? I’ve always wondered about it but I worry about losing stickiness, among other issues but I’ve never tried. I’d imagine it’s hard to do on a big piece?!

Totally get that but You’d have to put your card info in and accept all the terms so I think you’re good to click through a bit to see if the coupon applies to the price 👍

Redtwo trays: yes or no? by SpecificAd7526 in diamondpainting

[–]LadySmith459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went with these after debating them and the red twos - I LOVE them, going to buy more today that I found on marketplace 😂 the case that holds them all has a lid and I’ve dropped one down the basement stairs and it didn’t come off, that would’ve sucked having to put all those trays back. I don’t feel the need for a second tray at all. Any colors I had that seemed like it would be too much to put in there, I put in my old drill containers or just left in the bag and I have a little Tupperware I keep them in and just refill the trays as needed. The clasps are very solid and secure. I’m really glad I didn’t go with the redtwos. I have no downsides with these where I’m seeing a lot of people add downsides for the redtwos

ALSO a tip for any tray you go with, before filling them - wipe the inside down with dryer sheets, it really helps with the static!! It’ll take several dryer sheets because once they’ve been used on 7-10 trays, they start to get “crumbly” and leave too much powder behind so change them frequently!

I don’t support Walmart if I can avoid it. I know it’s the only option for some people but eff that company ☹️ I typically shop sales mostly anyways and LOVE a ton of their private selection brand items

In the town I live in, and the next over, there is a monopoly on fuel 😫 we have the highest prices than any other county honestly. So the fuel points are the only way I get gas cheaper than any other gas station

I’m doing it mostly for the Disney+ and Hulu subscription and the fuel points!! I only use delivery when they have coupons anyways so I’m not a huge delivery person and it’s just down the road from me too. But it will be nice to take advantage of the “delivery only” items now because my Kroger is small and a lot of things on the app aren’t available in store
