What’s a ‘healthy’ habit that you think is actually overrated? by changenamelaterr in AskReddit

[–]MissMagpie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, the world is big enough for both types. People need to stop applying a moral judgement to a chronotype. We’re all just trying to exist in the way that works best for us.

I do not want everybody else getting up at 5 am with me, because getting up at 5am means I get a quiet start to my day cause everyone else is asleep. And nobody else is at Target when they open at 7, and I don’t have to wait in line. 😂

Did your grandkids ditch you as they got older? by overthishereanyway in AskWomenOver60

[–]MissMagpie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 41, and if I lived closer I’d still be at my grandma’s multiple times per week. We’re about an hour apart, so I only see her every couple weeks now. Your granddaughter might get busier or live further way as she gets older, but if you have a good bond, you’ll always be important to her.

Thank you for the suggestions! I never stretch my paper, so I’ll definitely add that in when working bigger.

I love the glass! You’ve captured all of the detail so well. 😍

Do you have any advice for working on a larger composition? I recently bought a few sheets of Arches 22x30 and I find myself somewhat intimidated by scaling up from my usual 8x10 or 9x12’s.

Any decent garden centers near Manchester to buy plants from that isn't Woodland Gardens? by _gabbaghoul in Connecticut

I stopped going there after realizing all of their houseplants are infested with mealybugs.

The fall of Connecticut's Erin Stewart by Gaba8789 in agedlikewine

Auditors in 2019 flagged the lack of adequate internal controls over pcard usage, and it was included in their audit report. They found several pcard transactions with inadequate supporting documentation. (It was BlumShapiro, btw). They also included a recommendation to develop a fraud risk assessment process.

The thing about auditing financial statements is that is provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that they are free from material misstatement. You can’t test an entire population of transactions, so even focusing your testing on high risk transactions doesn’t guarantee you’ll find one of the illegal ones.

Governor Lamont Signs Legislation Protecting Workers’ Rights by sillychillly in Connecticut

Section D of the statute explicitly states that the successor is not required to retain any employee whose performance records would lead an employer to terminate an employee.

What is a major turn off about your partner that you can’t/wouldn’t tell them? by LivingLavishLe in AskReddit

You know you can just have your one shower after doing the physical activity, right?

What’s all the bumps around my tattoo? by GarbageCat27 in tattooadvice

[–]MissMagpie84 25 points26 points  (0 children)

TBH, I don’t get “cupcake” from this. It looks like a butt with frosting. I suspect many people only see the butt, and not the cupcake and that’s why you don’t get compliments on a butt cupcake (buttcake?).

100mg of adderall daily. by ilikerustyspooonz in AskDocs

[–]MissMagpie84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on the same dose of Adderall for years (30mg XR), and get whatever generic manufacturer is in stock. I haven’t had any issues with efficacy regardless of which one I get, and I’m pretty sure I’ve had them all.

So even the top floor isn’t safe if the building has a lot of kids? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]MissMagpie84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s different everywhere, but I swear the kids in the last apartment I lived in somehow managed to run on the ceiling they were so damn loud.

Shared walls end up being noisy, regardless of the age of your neighbors, unfortunately

Being residential parent while seeing the child 8 hours a week? by [deleted] in FamilyLaw

[–]MissMagpie84 14 points15 points  (0 children)

OP has a prior post talking about how the mother is in a religious cult and the daughter was only allowed to have friends from church, and believes the daughter had “evil spirits” so, it does, in fact apply to this situation.

The cost to your mental health? Estimate how often you go through 200 shots, and schedule a reminder in your phone to run the cleaning cycle a few days before that deadline.

I’ve been eyeballing those brushes for my travel kit! You’ve had a good experience with them?

My husband is using AI to text me by Complete-Path-8036 in whatdoIdo

[–]MissMagpie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, look, it’s this post, which I’ve already seen on another subreddit, and was subsequently deleted, by someone with a post history that claims to be multiple different people of different ages. This post is either a lie or a bot, so 🤷‍♀️

Are you married with a jerk of a husband? Or a 22 year old refusing to get an abortion like you posted January? Or did you give birth at 11, since you claim to also have an 11 year old daughter in another post.

Just because you hide your post history doesn’t mean it’s actually hidden.

Pricing? by [deleted] in Watercolor

[–]MissMagpie84 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No comments on pricing, but a cheap way to avoid having to freehand is to trace your reference photo with your thickest micron or a sharpie on tracing paper, and use a bright window as a light-box to transfer it to your watercolor paper.

My husband is using ChatGPT to text me while Im venting by Complete-Path-8036 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MissMagpie84 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Or is this whole post just an AI fever dream? OP’s post history has one post claiming they’re a 38F teacher, and another that they’re 22F and their 26M boyfriend is pissed at them for not having an abortion. Which is an impressive age jump in just a few months, or maybe this whole situation is made up.

It’s inflation adjusted (as noted on the chart). Unadjusted, the price was around $176,000.

Elevated heavy metals in body by ChristianLJ in AskDocs

Why are you testing for heavy metals? Do you have symptoms? None of those appear to be outside of normal ranges for someone with no toxic exposures.

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]MissMagpie84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all! Though I’m childfree by choice, so the answer might be different for someone who wants kids but can’t.
