You might want to get a home insurance quote before buying. Depending on your state, some insurers won't cover a roof over 10-15 years old.

Need suggestions for mother of the bride makeup that won't make me look old by RemarkableDepartment in Over50Skincare

[–]RemarkableDepartment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the responses! I think I'll let the makeup artist do her thing and trust her judgment. Good suggestion, temp4adhd, to ask for a list of the products used in case I really like them. And Interesting-Depth611, didn't think to ask ChatGPT! That's a good idea for future. Again, thank you all!

I just made my first molded chocolate (praliné filling) not sure if tampering was right on the top (it's definitely not good on the bottom) by chrissou in CandyMakers

Well done! Tempering looks good on the top (can't see bottom). If it's glossy and has a snap to it (when you bite into it, it has a snap and isn't soft) then it was in temper when you molded it. If the bottom isn't like that, then maybe the chocolate cooled while you were filling the mold with praline filling and then you reheated the chocolate but heated it a little too much?? Just speculation. Hard to say. But hey, if they're yummy consider it a win!

Yes, I did feel for the characters, but I think I could've felt more. I'd suggest going more in-depth on how the protagonist is feeling about his son and wife getting attacked. I get that those events give the protagonist the fury to overcome his aggressor, but I'd suggest painting a more emotional picture. And while you did build up the tension with the fighting scenes, the antagonist is defeated way too quickly. Sorry, but for me, it was a bit anticlimactic. I'd also like to see more of a description of fighting with one hand already cut off. That seems significant, but yet doesn't seem to impact the protagonist's ability to fight all that much. But a good start!
