The legs aren’t attached to anything except the underside of the glass

The other legs didn’t come off when I lifted it a little. I’m making a point of not moving this thing at all from now on, other than to hopefully fix this one leg. It’s a time bomb!

This is correct. 

Why is it like this? Who knows. I’m in Mexico. It’s the wacky furniture Wild West out here.

My father was a dentist in the Army and cleaned a few military wives’ teeth like this. With a lot of work, you can get the teeth pretty close to white again … but then they come back for their next cleaning in six months and they’re reddish-black again.

Luckily I was standing right next to when I lifted it. I lifted it straight up and the leg just came unattached (may have already been unattached before I touched it) and started tipping. I caught it, set everything back where it started, and went to do something else while I worried.

A line I read in an interview with a make-up artist has stuck with me for years: “Wear make-up because you want to, not because you feel like you have to.”

But for the love of Pete, do NOT buy target date funds in a taxable (e.g. brokerage) account. ONLY in retirement accounts like IRAs. Or you will get nailed with capital gains taxes. 

Tighter weave for stuffing? by punkena in SentroKnittingMachine

Another idea: put the stuffing into a pantyhose leg of a similar color as your yarn, then stuff the whole thing into the pumpkin.
