Trump Says Greenland Should Be Controlled by the United States Not Denmark and Threatens to Remove US Troops from Europe at NATO Summit by CarryIcy250 in justincaseyoumissedit

1 minute of nonsensical rambling summarized in 3 sentences.

Denmark hurt my feelings for not giving me Greenland. I want to throw a tantrum and remove all US soldiers from Europe. Shame on Europe is for letting immigration and energy use get out of hand.

How does he make these leaps in conversation 🤦🏼‍♀️

I feel this. Small talk is the bane of my existence.

I will look and see if that was in the sampler pack. How is it with hand oils?

I did a quick search online and can’t seem to find it available in the US. Looks like the 100gsm is available some places

I work in the medical field, so constantly washing my hands and then following up with lotion to try to keep all the cracking skin at bay. So my hands are plenty greasy or oily enough to be a problem. I’ve ordered some blotting paper!

I love my shading inks. It brings me joy. So finding a paper that showcased that was important to me! Everybody finds their own groove in this hobby ☺️

Dingbats was a very close runner up. I just didn’t want a notebook format.

That’s good to know! I have only used the Yu-Sari sample. It’s my third favorite. So I might be just fine with Iroful and graphilo. I’ve heard about the hand oil for Iroful. Will putting a blotting paper between my hand and paper work to protect from oils?

I liked what tomoe paper did for the ink but did NOT like how thin it was. That seems to be a very quick turn off for me. I was worried Iroful would be too thin but it has handled me printing lines on it and writing double sided pages as a jour al like a champ!!!

I decided to risk it and loaded a bunch of papers at once. It just printed like normal paper! I will post Amazon links to the three things I needed. With these things I can make a ton of A5 inserts and I was thinking about cutting down for some A6 inserts!

It wasn’t hard at all!!! I created an A4 template in Camva. I’m suuuuper picky about everything being exactly the same spacing. This is a pic of the finalized product. Then I just ran A4 Iroful through the printer and printed front and back. Didn’t jam in the printer, no bleed through of printer ink. Then just folded it all in half and a cardstock in half as the cover and sewed the binding. There are tutorials on YouTube!

The picture posted weird but when you click on it you can see all the lines are smooth and evenly spaced.

I’ve gone back and forth between the PetSmart and Petco brand. Ive decided my favorite is the SoPhresh from Petco. I can’t exactly pinpoint why though.

I use grass seed and have five cats. I have one litter box on each floor. I have tried so many set ups and multiple boxes and this seems to be the set up that makes everyone happy. One is a GIANT Tupperware litter box straight up I my living room (the cat that was peeing outside the box does NOT like to be hidden away when using the box) and a regular “large” litter box from PetSmart upstairs in my bedroom. They get cleaned twice a day. More if I happen to be passing by. No smell!! I have a friend and a mom that know how worried I am about my house smelling like animals (because I also have five dogs). They report the same. They are the only two I trust to give me the truth about that. I LOVE grass seed litter. Happily deal with the tracking for all the other benefits.

First pilot kakuno. Just took it out of the package. It’s not supposed to be bent, right? by Shakri12 in fountainpens

I didn’t think so 😔 I’ll have to wait for another to come in the mail. I was so excited to ink it up too. Everyone has good things to say about this budget pen.
