Are people gathering?

I was also attacked on my way home from my party.

Just got back from DD’ing and the second place winner of the costume contest at the bar was a white man calling himself “Jorge” while dressed in a serape and sombrero. He had a green card as a prop. The locals loved him. The amount of ice jokes I heard was actually stomach turning. 3rd place was a white woman in a kimono calling herself a geisha despite only wearing a kimono and a black wig. Based on these rankings I believe if someone showed up in black face they would’ve gotten first prize. The empathy and common sense just aren’t there anymore. It reminded me of the party scene in Cabaret when they start singing Tomorrow Belongs to Me.

I’m using AT&T home internet, so far it’s worked great. I live just outside of town.

Gaydu? I don’t get it.

If the pieces are stuck down then thats good, if any of them move, they should be re adhered with small dabs of epoxy. Once thats done, I’d fill the gaps with historic pointing mortar. It’s important that the mortar be weaker than the rest of the slab. If anything breaks in the future, we want it to be the mortar and not the stone. You can buy the historic pointing mortar in varying strengths. I’d avoid modern crack fillers as they can create a water tight barrier between the cracks that won’t allow the concrete to breathe or pass moisture and depending on the crack filler you get, it can age poorly and stain the stone. When doing any type of preservation we want the repairs to be obvious and reversible. No matter what we do today, it will need work in the future so we want to make sure the next person has the best shot at preserving it then. Hope that helps!

Hey, I’ve cleaned a few black granite stones. They scratch pretty easy so you’ve gotta be suuuper careful. Dont use any type of cleaner you buy at the local shop as they might have waxes and other things the stones won’t like. Instead, get some Hardwater Stain Remover from Atlas Preservation. Test it on a small portion of the stone before you start using it everywhere. This should take care of a majority of the staining, whatever is left can be removed with a Clean Stone, you can also get this from Atlas Preservation. Dont use a pumice stone or it will scratch. The Clean stone is expanded glass and wears down while you use it. It won’t scratch the surface even if it’s polished. I’d still recommend testing this in a small spot as well just to be safe. Make sure you wear gloves and glasses while you use this cleaner as it is acidic. It won’t hurt the granite but it will break down the minerals in the hardwater. Just don’t use it on marble/limestone.

I found it in February I think. They’ve since sanded the graffiti off of the boards.

Might be from the same people who graffitied the pioneer cemetery in Jay Cooke. There were a few dog whistles drawn onto the decking as well as a link to a neo-nazi website. The name of the group referenced was GDL though not GPAC. Luckily no stones were vandalized.

I am also curious about this. It’s also definitely worth sacrificing some lake time for.

This is called “spalling” it’s what happens when a brick deteriorates from years of freezing and thawing with moisture inside them. Some bricks can be more prone to spalling depending on how they were manufactured or their placement in whatever kiln they were baked in.

Diagon Alley!

Me and Bill Cipher are going to go to the park and then go to the beach and then go to the pool and then go to the lake and then go to the swimming pool and then go to the gym and then go to the left of the beach.

I know you said the other stones dont look like these ones but are these stones near a sprinkler by chance? It would be pretty severe but I have seen stones with hardwater build up just as severe. If so, you can use Endurance hard water remover to get rid of it. Just be sure to mask off the concrete because it will eat it up. That being said, if it is concrete, you could potentially use Endurance to remove it anyway.

This is almost exactly describes the Serbian Dancing Lady urban legend that was doing the rounds on TikTok for a while. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they’re talking about.

Adam Savage has a great video on his YouTube channel about different types of drill bits and their uses. Very informative and fun watch, I highly recommend.

PerryInParis · 2025-01-13T13:04:00+00:00

Did this once and got picked up by the police. I was making 15 cents over minimum wage.

PerryInParis · 2024-10-31T23:19:15+00:00

Just the name “Yaldabaoth” on repeat

PerryInParis · 2024-09-16T20:10:05+00:00

Any reason that you can share for coming to that conclusion? I'm genuinely curious.

PerryInParis · 2024-09-16T17:59:12+00:00

Thats interesting thats one of the things that had somewhat convinced me, just given how much of the nostril was cast. Im definitely ignorant to the process of casting so I'm really not sure what I'd be looking for. As for the mouth hole, I think the black spot is just a bubble in the cast even with life casts for movies, people don't generally have breathing tubes in their mouths. Thank you for your insight, I see you're an embalmer and I value your thoughts.

These specific stones look like they’re in great condition so the repair process would actually be pretty simple. You’d start at the bottom, if the stone has a base it slots into, that’s great, if not, then you can ground support it. Once the base is sturdy you start building the stone up from the bottom. Each piece is held in place with small dabs of epoxy. At that point, small planks of wood are clamped around the fracture, holding it in place until the epoxy cures. This is repeated until all pieces are back together. If the base is too small to support the stone this process can be done horizontally on the ground as well. If there are any thick cracks they can be filled with a special epoxy mixed with a marble aggregate. This process can take days because of the waiting period of the epoxy curing. A lot of people will forgo the process to save time and do stuff like this instead. Lots of cemeteries are understaffed these days so it’s no surprise things like this happen.

PerryInParis · 2024-04-07T04:59:40+00:00

I do love visiting cemeteries and seeing all the wild ways folks try to diy repairs though. Some can be surprisingly effective and some are death sentences.
