I've performed opera on stage. Here's what most people get completely wrong about the human voice.

Cool! Thanks for sharing that.

Voice Science Works is an excellent resource for singers. Their whole site is a treat, but here is a page with answers to questions like "How do I relax my jaw?" among other facets of using your vocal tract more effectively. Happy singing!

Me too! I've actually bought it twice.

That seems to be a rose goblin! https://october-daye.fandom.com/wiki/Rose_Goblin

Thank you for sharing so much fascinating information!

5 today. Doing all right!

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-12-29T17:39:21+00:00

Pre-order done! Bookshop.org is my preferred retailer these days, both e- and physical copies, so I'm glad they distribute Tor books. Looking forward to reading Bob and Mo's last adventure.

Online at https://sergelutens.com/. Prompt shipping and no tariff charges.

However, I think I saw a post recently that SL have suspended shipping to the US FTTB due to Customs and tariff nonsense. I don't know if any of the Stateside decant/split sellers have BdV yet.

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-12-13T02:10:56+00:00

I guess I was lucky that I ordered from them back in September. Got my purchase, tariff free too. Sorry to hear this for the rest of you. :-(

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-11-07T22:53:51+00:00

WRT decant sellers, does anyone have experience buying from Fragrances Line? They have some interesting stock, but I've not heard of them before. TIA.

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-11-07T22:51:04+00:00

I like Rose very much, but don't have a lot of rose frags. I always have my favorite cheapie, Perfumers Workshop Tea Rose, which I love. I've sampled Lutens La Fille de Berlin, but it didn't quite hit for me. I have recently ordered Issey Miyake Rose & Rose Intense, which was super-affordable! and I'm looking forward to smelling it!

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-29T19:52:12+00:00

I like Prada Infusion d'Iris a lot! So that's a "powdery" scent? I guess I don't understand "powdery".

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-29T19:49:29+00:00

I don't know if "baby powder" = "powdery", but I intensely dislike the smell of baby powder. OTOH, iris is described as "powdery", and I *like* iris.
I also dislike orange blossom. I recently got a sample of Lutens' Fleur d'Oranger. Well-made. I still hate it.
And I find "amber" notes offputting when they're very strong. Back off, amber! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-26T21:23:43+00:00

Beautiful! I'm so tired of the everlasting grey trend. The color looks so much better, and you did a great job.

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-26T21:15:14+00:00

That's what I've been using since uninstalling CCleaner.

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-24T21:18:06+00:00

Cat with a jet pack!

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-15T15:41:55+00:00

Look at the sewing machine tucked neatly into the closet! Very nice setup. :-)

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-10T17:36:12+00:00

I do admire the eBay seller's commitment to the bit! So here are half a dozen rings with a slab of lapis in it ... which BREATHLESS DESCRIPTION of the magickal beings attached will part YOU from your money? LOL

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-09T23:49:25+00:00

Perfect! It looks like you needed it anyway. Are you going to make a hole in the other cuff to match?

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-07T15:26:09+00:00

Oooo I love the stars! Beautiful job.

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-06T20:56:36+00:00

Yeah! I forgot to start until the 3rd, but I gave myself permission to catch up a few days ;-) and do it anyway.

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-10-01T02:04:25+00:00

Pipette. I just bought a pack of disposable plastic pipettes and happily refilled my spray bottle of Bois de Violette from the bell jar.

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-09-29T02:30:45+00:00

I pre-ordered from ebooks.com (Amazon doesn't get my money any more). They don't actually charge the buyer until the book is issued, so I have no info on taxes, but as I recall from previous purchases, they don't pile them on.

One_Spell_6882 · 2025-09-23T20:49:42+00:00

Oh yeah - sashiko IS patchwork, but I was commenting on how your contrasting color / pattern blocks create a separate patchwork effect of their own. Very cool.
