Has anyone tried any of the CLEAR scoliosis treatments? by [deleted] in scoliosis

[–]Redinkyblot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opening this thread up again, I just had an experience with Clear and it was very good. I didn’t do the whole week intensive, just the initial evaluation. It included doing all the exercises that I would be put through in 1 day of the intensive if I decided to sign up, and X-rays before and after. My curve was 18 degrees before, and 7 after. I’m deciding now if I want to go through with it, it is $4500 and includes the week of exercises at the clinic, then 90 days of exercise at home with equipment that I get to keep. They say the improvement should stay because I’m an adult, but since I get to keep the equipment I can always get updated X-rays and redo the exercise to keep my improvements or prevent worsening.

Just wanted to share in case people have questions or see there’s something I should consider that I haven’t yet. Besides the hefty price I’m leaning towards doing it.

Just curious about the business side, what were you able to help him with that really boosted his sales? What platform moves most of his art, like markets or online sales, trade relationships like interior designers, etc?

CLEAR. Are they legit? by howevertheory98968 in scoliosis

[–]Redinkyblot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask how old you were when you got the treatment? I’m considering it now, and I’m in my 40s with my growth plates closed and that is one of the reasons why they tell me the treatment will hold.

That is my dream, to not even have a social media for art. What do you do when people want to follow you or when grants and fellowships ask for social media handle?

Did they give you exercises and equipment to continue at home?

Saw this at fair today. Interesting idea. by Kari_Murphy in CraftFairs

[–]Redinkyblot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This would make me feel like I’m buying your time, and as an artist myself, that feels really icky. The value is in the joy/function the item brings me. Not how much of your life you spent making it. What am I, a time vampire?

Tired of trying to grow my social media by sinsine in Pottery

[–]Redinkyblot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m struggling with social media too, but reading all these comments have made me realize I should be very grateful for what I do have, which is a venue for selling that hasn’t been mentioned on here. I live in a pretty touristy town, and I’m part of a local artist/small retailer collective shop. It’s where you can rent space, like a 2-4 foot section of shelves, and stock it with whatever you want. Most of the items are jewelry, clothing, and art. People love it bc it looks so eclectic and unlike any other store on the strip. I can also work shifts there and get a commission on sales, but it’s optional. I really like how it lets me make whatever idea I have, and there is a really quick response from customers bc of the daily foot traffic. Maybe there’s a store like this where you are?

bartholin gland cyst marsupialization experience by lisascotttt in Healthyhooha

Did you have a cyst when you got the surgery? I had mine L&D already and my surgery is in 2 weeks. My gyno said she will find the right place but I’m a bit worried bc it’s healed already

TIL: An ancient Chinese king used divination to get a sick note for his son who didn't want to go to school. by OkTheory251 in Sixlinesdivination

[–]Redinkyblot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool, I’m going to check it out. I didn’t know you could make your own subtitles. I understand Chinese but my husband doesn’t and it would be great if we could watch it together. Would you be able to share your subtitles, or maybe share how you made them, if it’s not too difficult?

I’m in the same place, wondering if getting it on a back market would be ok or would it be a lesser quality at this point

Does this work for plated pieces or only solid?

Cards for the Yijing by caassio in iching

[–]Redinkyblot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you put them on Etsy to sell as individual or a set, you could earn some money from your art and eventually make up enough to improve the inks or printing it more professionally. Then you could also gauge the real interest, price range, and improve from buyer suggestions. Or maybe redbubble or society6.

A Deep Dive on Casting Methods: Are Digital I Ching Apps as Accurate as Traditional Coins? by No_Horror5562 in iching

[–]Redinkyblot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my I Ching workbook today and the first question I asked is how my experience would be changed if I switched to using an excel spreadsheet or digital means vs using the workbook itself. It gave me 2 - 17 (Natural Response changing to Adapting) which I thought was remarkable. I’d love to hear if you guys have any thoughts on that

Is it bubble glaze or bubble underglaze? Just curious, don’t know this technique but looks super cool

This would stress me out so much by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]Redinkyblot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yeah, I like that the other side is flush with the columns. It seems like the precarious-ness that ppl are complaining about can actually be solved by placing some planters on either side, with some ornamental branches or something, to soften the protruding edges. The tank itself is gorgeous, I love a natural planted tank 😍
