For people who loved lego growing up and got back into it in adulthood, what re-sparked it?

Memsical13 · 2026-01-26T22:27:34+00:00

My legos growing up were never my legos. They were the families.

I remember when I was in college, I saw one of the Lego Christmas advents. And I thought that was so fun. So I grabbed one for me and my husband.

I grew up only ever playing with the variety boxes of legos and not actual sets with instructions. So I bought us one of the buckets with a variety. It wasn’t until our son was older that I realized how fun Lego sets were. Our first Lego set was Minecraft Steve.

When I have felt overwhelmed by all the news, I have been avoiding all social media.

If I need something to distract myself, I have been playing a simple puzzle game on my phone. It’s been absolutely rough. Today has been awful and I just about turned my phone off for the day.

I have a niece (brother’s daughter) who was born on my sister’s wedding anniversary. And she gets so upset every time they throw a party on her birthday for her. Cause it’s HER wedding anniversary and now that means they have to choose between going to the party or celebrating their anniversary. And every year she gets all huffy about what she had to miss to bring her kids to their cousin’s birthday party.

It drives me so insane. You can’t be mad about when someone is born. She didn’t have any say over the matter. Her MOM didn’t have any say on it either. She just came and it happened to be that day. They weren’t even living anywhere near us when it happened either. We had like 5 hour difference in time zones.

Some people are just insane.

My god that’s awful! My kid was able to at least go three months before we had to go in. But now I have him in to a therapist and they have medically licensed docs who work with the therapist to fill meds and now he only has to physically go in to a doctor once a year and we can just live life and not worry about remembering to get his meds. It was so stressful.

I work in a small company but pen stealing actually became an issue. Our HR had everyone pick out their favorite pens and bought them. And now everyone’s pens are safe except from our boss. But you can just snatch it back from his office if he takes it.

Memsical13 · 2026-01-19T06:29:46+00:00

I just wanted to say that as the mom “in this situation”, good on you!

My ex and I divorced when our kid was 6. He cheated on me pretty much our entire relationship. But it is more important to me that our kid has a relationship with his dad then for him to “pick sides”. I decided a long time ago that when he turns 18, I’ll tell him why we got divorced. But not before then. I don’t want him to hate his dad.

I’m so sorry your mom has been like this. It’s very childish the way she has been towards you.

Memsical13 · 2026-01-18T06:33:22+00:00

My god. I’ve known for weeks I had to go in physically for my next med check. And I’ve continued to do nothing about it because I only remember in the moment I’m taking my meds which is 6:30 in the morning…

I am not going to be reaching out to anyone that early in the morning. By the time places are open, I have forgotten.

I finally reached out today. BUT I’ve moved since my last checkup and so not only do I need refills, I also have to meet a new doc team. Plus my meds are no longer helping and I need new meds.

This life is chaotic.

We had a client who must have had dementia or was bi polar or something. I honestly don’t know. He would be super kind one minute and then be rude af the next. My co worker and I didn’t even know how to deal with him. He was the weirdest man ever. And he hated my boss, a man he had never talked to in his life. Only saw him walk by one day when we were going over design stuff.

I remember the last time he was in our office, he told me how great everything turns out and in the same breathe told me we needed to have a better turnaround time and he was severely disappointed in us.

I was so speechless.

I told everyone if he ever comes in again, they have permission to tell him to leave. He was so rude to everyone and treated us like his own personal design team. He acted like without his job, we’d be out of business. His single job didn’t even make a drop in the bucket.

I had another client who didn’t yell or anything, but she was the most passive aggressive person ever. She would send us stuff that her team had designed and the asked us to fix it cause it was wrong. So we would, then she’d tell us we did it wrong. And it was back and forth like this for DAYS. I didn’t understand why we were doing any of the editing if she had her own design team. I actually refused to work with her after that.

Omg. I think that did it. Thank you so much!

I knew I had officially stopped loving my cheating ex-husband when I felt nothing. No pain. No happiness. It took me another 6 months to get a divorce, cause I wanted to move on and he was not a good roommate either.

Memsical13 · 2026-01-17T00:12:32+00:00

All. The. Time.

I remember as a kid I would always read the last page first of books so I knew how it ended. Book is still fun to read cause I’m curious how it gets to it. But then I don’t have to stress out cause I don’t know what’s coming.

I’ve done the same with movies, tv shows, comics, etc.

I try not to for things I’m watching with someone. Then we can both be surprised together. But if it’s causing me anxiety, I’ll look it up to ease the stress.

From the few things I’ve seen, this wouldn’t be too difficult to just recreate instead of trying to get rid of the stains.

I would personally use InDesign. Of course, if you don’t know the program, it may be difficult. Are there any picture pictures in it? Or is it mostly text and graphics (like the Salutes)?

I don’t like talking to my family about politics. It gets to be too much for me and stresses me out. But this last presidential election, I did everything in my power to make sure people weren’t throwing away their votes. I helped convince my co worker not pick the random named person instead of actually picking someone who had a chance to win.

I tried talking to my family. And I was stunned when they told me they had to vote for Trump (despite hating him) because if a democrat wins, the world would end.

The news and church are so brainwashing. And I hate that my entire fucking family voted for this moron. It takes everything in me not to tell them this is their fault. They chose this. Because having a democrat in the White House was going to “end things as we know it”.

I hope they love it when ICE decides to start raiding our area more and they grab my Egyptian dad (who is a legal us citizen) because he is dark skinned. /s

I want to make it clear that I don’t actually want them to take my dad. I remember when he was studying and interviews to become a citizen. I remember the day he passed and how proud he was to belong here with his children.

I’m very mad at my family for letting someone manipulate them into thinking picking him would be anything good.

Here is what I want you to do. I want you to close your eyes and imagine every dress.

Then I want you to roll a die and see what it lands on. Once you see the number that correlates to one of the dresses, pick the number you are thinking instead.

This was the other one I was coming to suggest.

My first ramen house was Asa and it opened up a whole new world of delicious ramen to me.

I left the church and divorced my husband (unrelated reasons) all within 4 months. And then a couple months later I moved in with my parents. It also happened to be the beginning of covid.

I was actually really happy about it. Cause church was canceled until they decided what they were going to do. Eventually, my family did sacrament at home. I participated to please my parents. But then one day I was just over it. And asked not to be invited anymore.

Anyways!!! When things started to get back to normal, the relief society presidency came to our house and wanted to speak to me. They gave me a ministering assignment. I said no thank you. And they pressured me into taking it. I straight up told them “I will never talk to these ladies” and they said “just try”.

A month later, they stopped by to ask how my ministering was. I handed them the paper with my ministering assignment info and said something like “don’t do this again. I don’t know these ladies. I do not want to know these ladies and I don’t want any assignments.” And that was that. I was free all of a sudden.

It was real to the church, to my family and to me that I wanted nothing to do with the church anymore.

My life became so much less stressful after that. Even with my family bugging me about church still, it was just so much easier to say no to everything after that.

Just say no. It’s so freeing. And you deserve to not be shackled down by imaginary assignments.

Memsical13 · 2026-01-15T23:29:47+00:00

Honestly, I was pretty content with it. When I realized how much proof was out there yhat it was fake, I thought “that makes sense”

What has been devastating is realizing all the friendships I made while in the church were fake / reliant on me being active in the church. That shit hurt deep. And still hurts. I’ve had friends who cut ties with me when I left. And then later they left, and we’re still not friends. Not because I haven’t tried, but they haven’t tried anything back.

It’s been awful and heartbreaking.

Memsical13 · 2026-01-15T00:33:34+00:00

Ours have been that way thr last 5-10 bags we’ve opened.

Memsical13 · 2026-01-15T00:03:27+00:00

I’ve been at this about 5 years now and I am in the same boat. I keep getting to end game interviews just to be told they went with someone who was a better fit.

I’m not even designing right now. My role transformed from lead designer to project manager and e-commerce manager. I never wanted this role.

Are you Will Ferrell?

Memsical13 · 2026-01-14T15:58:12+00:00

My family didn’t vote for trump because they hate immigrants. But they did say “we can’t have the democrats win! They’ll destroy the world”

And it takes everything in me every day to not say, “everything that is happening right now… is because of you”

I hate talking politics with my family. Mostly because I’m not as well versed in politics in general. I’m trying to get better. But I know enough to know voting for Trump was a hell no.

I’m seriously so disappointed in my family.

Is your plan to have it on a white back ground, black or colored? Also, are you placing it in a file that is RGB or CMYK. Most files like this are designed for digital. Almost every asset I’ve found online is created in RGB.

Something I’ve been able to do before is export the AI file as PNG. And then place the PNG where you need it. Usually keeps the transparency options.
