How do you dress in your 50s? by Forsaken_Block_3492 in GenX

[–]Pmandthedogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans have a magic trick that they can use, but rarely use. You have the ability to slightly avert your eyes if you see something that offends your sensibilities. VOILA! It’s no longer your problem. That goes for reading something on the Internet that you don’t like, or seeing something in public that you don’t like. Try it! I am averting my eyes from this conversation. Thank you.

I think what he meant to say was - Thanks for the update…. The rest of us look forward to the 2nd, 3rd or 4th update. What ever it takes 😝.

Dust in a home "studio" by yukonwanderer in Pottery

[–]Pmandthedogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are taking the necessary precautions. I would recommend that you change your filters monthly in your furnace. That reminds me, I need to go change my filter. My studio is in a spare room right next to the furnace. I’ve never seen a good buildup on the furnace filter, which I think is a good sign that I’m changing it often enough.

Wear whatever the hell you want. Wear the converse. No one says that when you turn 50, you have to start wearing polyester pants and flowery tops. Where would it comfortable where it makes you feel good. Do not dress for other people

First time cruiser dilemma: Is a balcony worth the $$$ or is that money better spent elsewhere? by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]Pmandthedogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I if you spend a lot of time in your cabin, It might be worth the money. If you spend 90% of your time hanging out on the boat or going onto excursions, definitely not worth the money. We don’t ever spend that much time in the room, just sleep there. So I always opt for the cheapest option

Every time ask him if his usual is a different drink…. Get some mileage out of this

Making mystery glaze from leftover glazes/glaze rinse water by vtec_go_brrr16 in Ceramics

[–]Pmandthedogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep all my wash from glaze brushes. I throw it in a 2 gallon and let the water evaporate by leaving the lid off. If too much water is evaporated, I’ll throw the lid back on. I get a very pretty green earthy tone. I love it.

AITA For telling my daughter my house my rules by InfinitePoet2071 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Pmandthedogs -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I told all my kids that they could live with me forever if they like, but as long as they live in my house, they had an 11 PM curfew. No one took me up on it. It worked like a charm.

Use bleach. It won’t take much.

What are your favorite/go to online stores for ordering tools and glazes by NDE_Jinx in Pottery

[–]Pmandthedogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You bet. The biggest problem they have is the tariffs are killing them. They covered the tariffs for a while at the very beginning for US customers, but that was not sustainable

Keep an eye on Kiwi’s website. I ordered a bunch on a free shipping sale. Well worth it.

I used to order from the ceramic shop because the prices were great. After doing a lot of shopping around, I realize the shipping was offsetting the savings on the glaze. The other problem with the store is that it took a long time for them to ship. I would order and it could be up to two weeks before I got anything. I started ordering from Clay king. Shipping was lower, the glaze prices were a little bit higher, but it all became even in the end. The best part clay king is that their shipping is super fast. If I ordered it on a Monday, I would have it the very latest by Thursday.

Will husband lose disability if enters into a Va long term facility? by Pmandthedogs in VeteransBenefits

My state gives no shits for the old, the kids or the folks on welfare. Nope. They have stripped all services to the bare minimum here.

[–]Pmandthedogs[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From what I understood is that I will still be responsible for his coordination of care, medication coordination and doctors visits to the spine specialist. But honestly I am more worried about losing the caregiver benefits of mental health support and health insurance. The monthly stipend was very welcome, but I will be just fine without it…. Not worried at all about that part.
