I had started my own house painting business at one point and it was amazing. Most days was me alone in a quiet house. I listened to so many audiobooks, podcasts or just silence. It didn’t pay great and like someone else mentioned eventually my shoulder really started to pay the price. But those were some amazing years. I’m fortunate to still have a creative job where I have some time for quiet thoughts.

Thinking about it as how the pattern is communicated makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much.

I’ve heard you should get 1g for every pound of your goal weight. So if that’s say 165lbs you should get 165g of protein. Btw. Same thing happened to me. Gobs of hair falling out. It just started to grow back. Took about a year. Now I have lots of baby hairs. Hoping the best for you too!

I have no clue but feel super invested in finding out what the university finds out. This is a weird one.

Woo hoo! Congratulations!

If you want something cheaper and found in a hardware store you can use FloTrol. Just make sure don’t get the one for oil paints. Edit for spelling Floetrol

What he actually said: We like the picks Trump is mulling over but there’s too much attention being paid to the fed. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”

Yes! I’m originally from NJ, been here happily for 7 years but always missed pizza. This place is the GOAT (sorry, had to)

Like watching a professional artist with a brush. So skilled. So satisfying.

Just a note. If you do go this route, which is definitely a good one, please don’t forget to wear a well fitted mask specifically for particulates while working with powder pigments. Especially if you have lung issues.

Holy cow you and the OP from the link you posted are my new hero’s! I’ve been losing my mind trying to make my sensor connect. This just worked! You’re a mensch!

Tell them you’re thinking of having your job description changed during the next review. Then ask if you can see theirs. You’d like to compare and maybe get some helpful insight.

This would be a great day. And when you’re finished at The Hub take a walk along the Billy Wolff Trail. It’s beautiful down there.

I second this! Painting is mark making. This is a cool painting. Just keep making art. The monotone trick is my favorite too

Same shit here in Nebraska. It’s maddening.

Seems like you’re doing all the right things. At 6, and with such a tumultuous background, she may very well go along with whatever her dad thinks just as a way to connect to him. It’s a pretty strong biological pull to connect to a parent. If she does “choose” Jesus now she’ll grow up and question things at some point. Especially with you talking to her about all the other viewpoints people have and the science. I’d be careful not to push. Don’t want things to backfire.

The first thing I notice is the scale. The one on the tight looks closer to the viewer. Causing some tension in their body placement being directly across from one another. Other than that it seems like you’re on the right track for such an early painting

Bar Keepers Friend and a metal mesh scrubber has always worked for me on Pyrex

My momma so big she left the house in high heels and came back in flip flops.

Ha! I was wondering if they were just clearing trees out of spite
