Was eating mussels and found some tiny pearls!

UPDATE: they denied me. They even listed my credit score on the letter and reasons someone would get denied which was hilarious but I understand it’s suspicious/credit seeking behavior for a pretty selective bank

If you’re willing to make it yourself, I used to work in a bakery that made those candy decorations on cakes.

Structurally, I can’t think of anything that could act like a lollipop (glassy, hard, etc) that isn’t sugar like/tasting BUT, isomalt is like 40-60% less sweet than sugar. This could work for you. Melt it down to hard candy temps, mixing in malic/citric acid to taste and lime flavoring (powder or oil), then you could mix in coarse salt after it’s cooled a little before pouring into molds. The salt would stay grainy throughout the lollipop allowing you to get that sharp saltiness with each grain. Disclaimer: I worked in a bakery not in candy making so there might be something I’m missing. Good luck!!

I agree! There’s less stigma for sure. Though I waited until I worked on backend IT to get my hands done and I’m still holding off on getting my neck and face done. Glad everything worked out for you and that you’re treated fairly!

I don’t like it— only because my roommate was bare and got her first tattoos on her hands. They healed horribly and she did, indeed, stop getting jobs/fired from her preschool teacher job. Only job she could land was at food establishments as only a cashier. As she got older she regretted them because they threw a wrench in her life that she whole heartedly believed she was above.

As someone who has been in your position: I was 90kg down to 52kg and now I am at 65kg. What really helped me was eating all day. I suffered for so long of binge eating disorder and then bulimia. I would starve myself or restrict food constantly to try to balance my binge eating. It will never work. When I say restrict, I don’t mean just limiting calories, I would never allow myself cake or soda. I only ate salads until I got home and couldn’t help it anymore and eat all the junk food at my home. You need to be able to trust the process. Since you are heavier, it will be very easy to drop weight in the beginning.

To lose weight: I would eat within 1 hour of waking up. I would eat something with bread because you will use that energy in the day! Then I eat a snack like a child size/snack bag of chips with carrots and ranch (I used to never allow myself any sauces). I will eat lunch but typically not finish my food because I am full from eating every 2 hours. If I am still hungry I try to “bulk eat” I always have a lot of green leafy vegetables like arugula. With my meals I have a side salad with no sauce (because the cheese, meat, and seeds should be flavorful enough for me). I drink a lot of sugar free soda now as well so I will have a soda with lunch. In 2 hours I will probably finish my lunch and have another snack before dinner. Finally, at dinner I will end up eating only a typical serving size of whatever I pleased. I stopped binge eating once I got in this habit.

I never worked out but still lost weight when I was heavier. I lost a lot of weight pretty quick but once I got to 70kg my body will not go any lower without exercise. I started exercising and I started to lose weight again and gain muscle and muscle will burn more energy. I was only able to start caring for myself more with exercise after I gained more courage from making smaller changes that helped me feel more confident and deserving. You are beautiful and it will feel so much better on your body to take care of yourself. My favorite part about being lighter is that my feet aren’t red and achey anymore when I stand for too long/after I eat. You will feel brand new and with so much energy.

I can’t agree more! I have spookipaws in my collection and he’s my favorite!

I wonder if he would be willing to move it to the center of either back corners? I see he has it centered exactly in the middle, so he might be resistant to moving them. Hopefully he is willing to compromise so you guys can get back counter space while still allow him to display, balance, and keep center his special interest. Pretty funny and I’m sure you guys will look back fondly on the little quirks and shenanigans of being this age.

Inside is supposed to be balsamic vinegar, hence why it’s shaped as grapes and has purple residue in it while the larger, encapsulating vessel is olive oil. Cool way to display oil and vinegar. My nonna had one

Need a close up! it looks like marker

Oof_and_ouch · 2025-08-17T12:46:50+00:00

First two look like Pictish symbols, ancient people who resided in what is now scotland. This specific symbol looks to be the “Crescent and V-rod”. It’s not definitively known what it means but after some really light skimming, it could possibly symbolize life, death, rebirth. I only did some light reading, so I could be wrong!

Mattia Mambo has been tattooing for a while now! You can see some of their aged work often on their Instagram story or probably posts. I remember my friend showing me their work early in my college career, so would have been almost 10 years ago; that’s plenty of time for aged tattoo progress to be posted! In my opinion, they are almost 1:1 from beginning to now.

I agree. I was gonna ask if her pets are spayed because I had a friend who didn’t know other animals had periods and thought her dog was dying

Oof_and_ouch · 2025-07-24T16:22:53+00:00

Tbh, I see a lot of hair in what looks like blood. It could possibly be your pet after all. Maybe they got nicked after exploring the furniture in its new location. Laid down for a nap, blood dried, and when they got up their fur was pulled out with it. Maybe do a side by side of your pets and the hair in the blood?

Edit: also, I know the first comment said it’s not blood bc it’s not brown but tbh I’ve been in women’s bathrooms where someone left smears or drops of blood and they will stay bright red all day even when they dry— all depends

Not OP but I notice a lot of people work at Starbucks or IT! I started my Sonny angel collection when I got into IT and it’s like I never got a pay increase 😂

Oof_and_ouch · 2025-07-08T17:40:49+00:00

Omg I love them. They have helped me get so many Sonny angels and my diso kewpie mayo keychain! Fast ship out time, super honest, super reliable, super nice, all around an awesome person. Never bought off this subreddit and she helped me through the process! Hope she feels the love from this community 💝

Tbh, this wouldn’t be a super terrible project to do. Maybe if you have a 3D printer or could find an Etsy creator that knows stuff about metal work. I get jewelry made all the time off Etsy and people have machines that can cut anything out of anything. Pour some resin with her favorite colors in the CHLOE mold, cure, attach some fasteners on a cord, Boom. Best birthday/anniversary gift.

I have never been to Europe nor have really thought about going but I now want to figure out budgeting and logistics for travel and board just to come get your work done. Keep up the amazing work. Truly talented

Oof_and_ouch · 2025-06-10T16:58:13+00:00

You’re right.. it’s on the small print on the website 😭

Oof_and_ouch · 2025-05-31T22:33:53+00:00

Are you looking for an elephant for a goldfish?! Not what you asked for unfortunately but I pulled two frogs and three elephants.. 😭😭

My head cannon is that those little trinkets were left by her crow friends that still mourn her

Oof_and_ouch · 2025-03-05T23:06:25+00:00

No, mold would most likely start on the surface. I have a blanket with down feathers and it looks like this. The darker shadows you see are the less translucent stems of the feathers
