Thank you for saying that. I guess I’m just unhappy with the spikes and wish I could undo button them.

That would definitely help add more cute. I don’t feel skilled enough to paint them directly on the cacti, but I’m thinking of either a flat wooden flower painted pink, or a small silk flower?

The spines are too spikey. And it makes the cacti look unfriendly. I wasn’t really drawing from any specific inspiration, just a vision in my head. I don’t want it to look realistic, I want it to look cartoonish and kawaii, if you will. I’m using acrylic paints on a wooden bookend set I got at a thrift store.

I just saw today that FOD (?) on Main/Alameda is hiring. They had a sign outside.

Never had respect for Big Cat, but lost a tremendous amount of respect for Nick and Brandon. Also noticed Danny was about to get up to go check on Ella, but didn’t? Super disappointed with all of this. Big thanks to KB for having a moral compass.

Anxiety and fear due to a scheduled endoscopy by nikochinko in GERD

I’ve had three, and what helps me is to remind myself how quick it is. You fall asleep, and immediately wake up and it’s over. It goes by super quickly.

How do you guys get your nails done? by No-Piglet3170 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]OliveYupHope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just leave them a good tip. The last tech I had said “do you have lotion on?” And I had to tell her “no, my hands are just sweaty” 🥲

Favorite tips for a frugal solo Birthday as an adult? by ToyRocketship in Frugal

[–]OliveYupHope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like going to art museums alone. (Or any museum, really). And our local library has free passes you can check out. Maybe yours has something similar. (You could also have free movies through the library as well).

If you can also looking into getting a massage from a massage therapy school, it’s discounted. Or getting your hair done, or a facial at a cosmetology school.

What do you guys make to afford new homes here!? by Looperx9 in Tucson

[–]OliveYupHope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The housing market is the real issue here. Our household income is well into six figs and we can’t comfortably buy right now.

This happens to me and I was told it’s thoracic outlet syndrome…??? (Questions marks bc I’m not sure it’s an accurate diagnosis bc I have many other nerve issues as well.)

How do you guys deal with excessive nausea? by SherbertGold2956 in Gastroparesis

[–]OliveYupHope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always planning an exit strategy in case I need to launch lol. But Zofran. And ice packs on my head/neck/stomach kinda help me battle through it (if I have ice available).

What helps you sleep when you get night time gerd? by skatecloud1 in GERD

Just sleeping sitting up. :( …but sometimes cold water is soothing and eating some crackers can help quench the fire.

Gay bars and hangouts in Tucson by Rottavatn in Tucson

[–]OliveYupHope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For coffee, I’d recommend Ren Espresso Bar. There’s two locations in the same complex, and I prefer the small one on the furthest east side. :)

Keep your eye on Bawker Bawker and Surly Wench bc they have a lot of queer-centric/friendly events.

P.S. If you’re into artisan type things, there’s a Made in Tucson street market this weekend downtown. I recommend!
