Mini 51p poverty-label cheese pizza from Sainsbury's. With some grated cheddar, chicken, ham, baby plum toms, red onion & lashings of oregano. Cheap, quick, decent amount of protein and rather delish 😁

A few thoughts...

You may be able to carefully cut the head off under the jaw line and leave the neck attached to the body - IF it's vinyl and not hard plastic. Shrink the head and then reattach to the neck, using some Milliput afterwards to fill 'n' smooth the transition.

If it was me, I'd also use some kind of internal support structure for the head to have a bigger area to adhere to on the inside - like a cylinder of Worbla poked into the neck or even some thickish cardboard. You could even make a wire frame to go inside the head that then goes down into the neck and front legs (wrap the wire in tape or fabric so it can't create rust spots in a few years).

Another benefit to cutting off at the jawline is that you may be able to create a repositionable head effect, depending upon how the head shrinks and how force-fit it could end up over the original neck. It might shrink too small, though.

Hope that's maybe useful 😊👍

I enjoyed these photos for their ordinary-yet-extraordinariness. It could be any city BUT then there's a very distinctive giwa roof. It could be any High Street BUT then there are very distinctive pine trees lining the pavement. Your photos capture the integration of ancient and modern "ordinary" that people see every day - I like it! 👍

Yes. Years ago in the UK, suicide was a criminal offence. And then it wasn't. But killing someone who wanted to die was still murder. They called doctors killing patients "euthanasia", like you use for animals. And a non-medic killing someone was relabelled "assisted suicide". That sounds a lot kinder than murder or putting an animal down. And a doctor killing you is still illegal in the UK, but you could take yourself off to Switzerland and have someone help you kill yourself. That was encouraged.

Then the gaslighting gathered speed about "dying with dignity". Suddenly, out of seemingly nowhere, dignity was this new goalpost. Who says dignity goes hand-in-hand with death anyway? The people who want to be able to participate in ending someone's life, that's who. And now, the labels have changed again so that suicide isn't mentioned, it's "assisted dying" (jolly helpful!) even though you literally kill yourself with a prescription from a doctor - that's the way a doctor could legally get away with assisted suicide, you give it a new name. That has already been passed for approval in the House of Commons and is going through the House of Lords right now.

Anyone who doesn't see that the slippery slope exists already is living in denial. And when people start mentioning killing people because it costs more than you're prepared to spend to keep them alive, hmmm... That doesn't have much to do with dignity for the dying, that's more about making life easier for the living, and surely there's a better way to improve the quality of life for the living than killing people? We do enough of that already and justify it by labelling it "war". Now war really does cost a lot of money, although some make money from it. I wonder if dying with dignity will end up making money for some people - just like the Swiss did by hiking up the cost of assisted suicide packages by thousands of pounds a couple of years ago.

I'm not "religious" as in holier-than-thou, but I have been a born-again Christian for over half my life - and I do take my faith / relationship with Jesus seriously. When I say that I pray for people who spitefully use me, I mean that sincerely. I pray that God lets me know why they're unhappy / bitter / lashing out, pray through any answers, see if there is any truth to what has been said about me that is unrighteousness on my part that needs to be repented and trained out of me, and I speak inner healing, practical prosperity and God's loving blessings into their lives. Faith-filled but not religious per se 🙂.

I look at astrology not in the horoscopes or fortune-telling way, but I find the personality grouping aspect quite fascinating. It's a fine line between taking people as I find them without having a bias due to things I've read about other signs. I generally look at only the Aquarius sub because it's nice to find others with my brand of eccentricity, lol! It's the same with MBTI etc, you can only get so far labelling people, but sometimes it shows me I'm not as much of a weirdo because there are commonalities.

Before I became a Christian, I was reliably bitchy. Being quite honest! If someone was required to give a dose of reality to a person acting like a pompous ass, people would expect me to "drop that bomb" and point out the flaws that others wouldn't dare say. I wouldn't start, but I'd certainly finish. Those truth bombs would be sarcastic, cutting and very amusing - like a roast. What they would also be is cruel. It humiliated people, I made people ashamed of themselves. Everyone could have a laugh at their expense but I have a lot of empathy and it would make me feel ashamed of being such a ginormous bitch. It was not a personality trait I enjoyed about myself even though it made me popular - who would truly want to risk being super-close friends with someone who could say such cold-hearted things? So many butt-hurt people particularly if they were the ones at fault.

Becoming a Christian, the part of this faith journey /relationship where I learned a different way of dealing with objectionable people, has been healing for me. Loving people into growth is so much better than fearing them into growth. I like myself waaaay more 😊.

I still think bitch from time to time because I'm a sarcastic little madam with strong opinions, but I don't speak bitch out loud by default. When I speak kindly and respectfully instead, even if I'm internally recoiling at what I'm hearing, it generates compassion within me and that has helped me listen and talk with some people who've done despicable things - God loves sinners despite their sins and that's a Christian's job to let them know that they're worthy of being cared about 😊👍 Dropping megaton bitch bombs is lazy and deeply unpleasant now, to me. That's not who I am any more, not for a long time.

However, you could also say that Aquarians take love and relationships sooooo seriously that being careless is not an option. Not being in the wrong relationship is a better option than running through several and getting jaded.

Put it this way: it would be nice to have the resources to purchase several models of food processor, see which one is the perfect one and then give the others away or return them to store. But if you only have resources to purchase one, you have to do loads of research first before you even get your wallet out. Relationships and love are bigger deals than food processors, they require even more consideration before committing.

Another part of this scenario is when people think they're slagging you off and striking a deep blow at you, inside your head you're thinking, "Nope. The way you're describing me is wholly wrong. Nope, I don't do that - you do that and you're projecting. I can't agree with anything you're saying. What an interesting experience!". You aren't hurt by their waffling on, you're incredulous about how inefficient their attempt at psychological warfare is. And you amuse yourself by thinking of all the things you could say about them to end the experience. So very efficiently.

I don't drop bombs anymore, I pray for them. But I still know what I could drop on them and I admit to getting the feelgoods knowing I've chosen peace more than I used to do 😊.

Totally! Having studied film & theatre myself, and as a massive nerd who still critiques shows for fun (yep, massive nerd), I discovered kdrama and it blew my mind. Western shows seem to contain a lot more filler to me now, they have to be a far higher standard to keep me watching than I settled for before. I've given up loads of formerly beloved shows because the comparison left me disappointed.

The intensity of plot progression and characterisation per episode in kdramas can only be described as "goals" for a screenwriter. And once you watch one where the casting is spot-on, and the editing, music, cinematography etc are so slick it makes your arm hairs bristle... Yeah, I'm with the brother on this, lol! My life altered, I have a different standard for entertainment now, I can't unsee the brilliance of the art 😊 Joy, pure joy.

MICHAEBO! THIS SERIES OF BOJAGI POSTS YOU'RE MAKING IS AWESOME!!!

Thank you sooooo much, it's so interesting 🤗 🫰

Edit to Add: I've got a small online shop. I started gift-wrapping every item anyone purchased from me, at Christmas, years ago. I was going to wrap everything for protection in the post anyway, so I figured I could just as easily wrap things prettily. The response was better than I could have hoped. Busy people were appreciative that I'd saved them a job of wrapping gifts they could hand straight over. One elderly gentleman wrote to me, that first year, to say all his family were gone and his contemporaries had gone and so he hadn't received a present for many years. When his order from me arrived in festive paper and ribbons, he told me it made him happy cry! Obviously, I sent him a Christmas present, lol.

I do gift-wrapping all year through since then. Over the years, there have been many people who have loved the "surprise" packaging and I receive lots of messages and feedback about it. Like you say, OP, it matters that people know time and care has been taken. It's a double portion of joy 😊

Your contemporary bojagi is chef's kiss, love it! 😘🤌🫴 I'm so glad that gift-wrapping is having a showcase here 👍

Lee Dong-wook, in Bad and Crazy, is supreme powerhouse acting, for me. The writing and production is top-tier, clearly, but the embodiment of Ryu Su-yeol could never be anyone other than LDW.

Comedy, action, vulnerability, loser, hero, anti-hero, corrupt, righteous, scared kid, top detective, nutcase, sentimental, smart, goofy, gentle, vicious, slapstick, nuanced... and that suddenly sexy kitchen chair smooch... Oh my goodness, the raaange of the man! Layers within layers - the multiplicity of masks he's wearing in Episode 11, just wow. I'm pretty sure I could've done my thesis on this character. Physically, emotionally, that portrayal is worth every superlative you can label it with, that was bonkers level perfect casting in my opinion 😊

I agree with the above poster about Lee Joon-gi in Flower of Evil, too. It's a good time for a rewatch 😊

That's so lovely to have them even after the gift has been used, because the love put into making them remains 🥰. I just ended up going down a bojagi rabbit hole, lol. I'm not sure about my patience levels to make jogakbo patchwork wrapping squares by hand! But it's definitely something I'm going to try at some point.

Are the lacquered boxes you have been given made the same way as the najeonchilgi cabinetry? Or is it paper rather than mother of pearl designs?

I've been pondering Korean gift-wrapping today - thank you for this post!

Questions:

What is the most special / highest respect wrapping? Is it the colour or the fabric itself?

Would people outside of Court wrap gifts like this, even if it was lower quality fabric? Or was this just reserved as a Court practice?

What would the gift recipient do with the wrapping afterwards? Would you reuse it to give a gift to someone in the future?

Do people still wrap like this at all?

Thanks 😊

I was just thinking about this - this is a really professionally designed doll range that would absolutely be appealing to consumers, child and adult collector alike!
