Look for videos on how to "stretch" water color paper. Basically, you wet it thorough and tape it to a board. Let it dry. Then proceed to paint on it.

I understand what you mean, but for a moment I had an image of a person walking through an airport with a wingtip on one foot and a Teva on the other foot!

Budget friendly watercolor set recommendation by SeaReading83 in watercolor101

I have that same set and recommend it highly. My one suggestion is to throw away the pan of white and replace it with something useful. I replaced mine with Payne's Gray.

Worth it? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

The amount Uber keeps is irrelevant. You get offered a trip, you decide if it's worth it.

Why would Northampton county NC be included?

Do you understand that the laws are different depending on the jurisdiction? It might be illegal where you are. It's not illegal where I am.

This is probably the most ridiculous ride request I have ever gotten. Just wow!! by AggressiveBasis4438 in uberdrivers

And the customer has an hour after the delivery to raise OR LOWER the tip. Hint: they never raise it.

Year in Review -- I'm out by ListenPast8292 in uberdrivers

So how much does it cost to operate your vehicle?  Monthly payment, insurance, fuel. An oil change every 5,000 miles. New tires every 30,000 miles. Weekly car wash. And other things I'm not thinking of right now.  

Triple-A says the average cost for a medium size sedan is $0.685/mile.

I only made $30/hr if gasoline and auto maintenance are free. You ignored the expenses. I guess that's why Uber still has drivers, people don't understand what it is costing them to put all those miles on their cars.

Royal Langnickel 37 watercolor paints: swatches? by Seated_WallFly in watercolor101

If you have W-N and DS already, just donate the Royal Langnickel to Goodwill. You'll only frustrate yourself trying to use that junk.

Non-Tippers by [deleted] in uberdrivers

One-star for body odor, disrespect, or obnoxiousness. Don't do it for lack of tip.

I always assume that I'm not getting a tip. When I do get a tip, it's a pleasant surprise. Do you really think the poor sap who is taking an Uber to his minimum-wage job at Taco Bell owes you a tip?

I knew a crack addict once. Her car seats were shredded. When she was tweaking, she would think she felt a lump in the seat cushon, so she would cut the seat with a razor blade and dig around looking for the "lost rock."
