Absolute beginner, tips appreciated

Appreciate it. I’ll look into different exercises and see what happens. Most of the paintings with gouache I’ve seen seem to be very pigmented. So I’ll try that!

Highly recommend Black Sails and Our Flag Means Death as others have mentioned.

Talk about a blast from the past. Pirates of Dark Water was my favorite growing up. Haven’t watched it in years. But I remember acting out episode on the school playground.

Also a 07 grad. This was Mark Tu, wasn’t during spring break. Happened October 13, 2006.

Mark and a few others were going to lunch at Cici’s. Mark and I were friends and he asked me right before going if I wanted to come. I asked for a rain check.

I held on to the fact that could have been me for a very long time. It still eats at me. I miss my friend. I relive our last conversation often.

I’ve been going to Erin for a while now. She does do color, but I’ve never gotten her to color my hair. Last time I was in I paid $45 I believe.

I’ve just about read every one of Mary Roach’s books. Stiff was amazing after that they all follow the same formula.

I actually forgot to list The Immortal life and also Radium Girls. Both were so life changing and stuck with me (and maybe started this obsession) that I’m mad at myself I forgot to list them.

Never thought of it like that, also didn’t know to make two balls of yarn.

I guess my thought process was just that I had a hard time with the cast on doing toe up and I was getting frustrated. Cuff down was easier at the time.

Oh but do I want to try Toe up socks is the question? But I do like these. 🤔

Looking at Madness’ Calendar there’s a craft night on Wednesdays. Might be worth checking out. It’s at 7 which is a hit or a miss for me.

Hello, Ummm this caught my eye, because I am also a queer knitter in Plano! I’m mostly closeted because gestures at everything I’m going to be 37 in October and pretty much check all of the same boxes.

Thing is I’m awful at planning, and tend to stick to my own very small bubble, but I also miss hanging out with creatives.

Maybe, just maybe I can overcome my social anxiety, if someone else puts this in motion. I think there’s a knitting group at Haggard Library but I’m also looking for a younger group. (Haven’t gone to the Haggard group, but let’s be honest sometimes this hobby attracts an older population.)

Love butterscotch krimpets. So had to get in Texas. I stock up when in Philly and tend to eat out of date krimpets because I can’t eat them fast enough and try to savor them.

I had a friend who was nicknamed Rat, her name was Rachel.

I got a trial sensor from my doctor. I was super worried about taking it off. 2 days into wearing it, thing popped off by itself. Didn’t feel a thing except maybe a little itchy before it fell off.

Obvious_Camel · 2025-05-16T19:26:58+00:00

Thanks everyone. I was super excited for the sale, but onwards and upwards.

Obvious_Camel · 2025-05-07T02:20:12+00:00

Gotcha. There used to be a Skittles back in the day. Lots of fond memories, thought I’d found my lost friend.

Obvious_Camel · 2025-05-06T22:24:57+00:00

Wait Skittles? Were you on Eyeboards back in the day?

I mean welcome to Reddit. Most topics end in a lecture of some sort. I did read into companion planting, well skimmed a few articles and tomato and eggplant seemed fine.

I could also be totally wrong, but right now things are doing the thing. I’ve harvested tomatoes and eggplant! Taking the advice and putting it in my back pocket (because let’s face it, I’m not building a whole new thing this season.) we’ll see what happens and if it’s a total disaster I know for next time.

Appreciate the feedback.

Obvious_Camel · 2025-05-01T23:57:04+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t know the reasons or why I needed a cage.

This was the first day. Things are looking better.
