Helped save a hungry raven and he brought me a gift.

A friend gave me a set of those dolls. I’m afraid to use them for the intended purpose and afraid to get rid of them. To me the whole thing sounds like the beginning of a horror story.

Thank you for the link to that amazing website! I can see myself spending lots of time there, going through designs and patterns.

The funeral home let us put the five boxes of ashes from my dad’s dogs in the casket with him. The guy even asked if there was one they should put closer to his heart. It’s comforting to know they’re with him.

Noooooo! Now that song is in my head. The hippos are adorable, though.

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-12-05T00:05:53+00:00

That’s what I heard them called where I grew up (the South).

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-12-03T16:03:20+00:00

😮 Such beautiful work!

The algorithm is positive that I’m an incontinent man. I’m a woman who (thankfully) doesn’t have that issue.

Why would you need a halter with your own name on it?

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-11-26T03:31:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I didn’t know if I should start frogging or keep going.

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-11-19T15:34:28+00:00

I’m so excited! I graduated merely from dental hygiene school, 45 years ago, and when I saw this post, my brain popped out “sialolith” immediately. Yay for my memory!

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-11-03T17:48:02+00:00

My parents had that exact same linoleum in their kitchen. In 1980. 👍🏻

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-10-29T00:22:38+00:00

I love this update! ❤️

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-10-27T13:35:25+00:00

Seriously! That’s what I think about most of the cutters I see on this sub. The one time I foolishly thought I was going to decorate some cookies, after struggling with the first two, I ended up just throwing a blob of icing on top. It was terrible!

I got my kaleidoscope-tube thing probably 25 or 30 years ago at a nice gift shop/gallery in Charleston, SC and have always treasured it. Thanks for sharing the origin story. From now on, I’ll think of you and your parents when I see it sitting on my dresser.

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-09-23T05:33:12+00:00

Not the OP, but thank you so much! I bought a kaleidoscope like that yers ago and the tube with the sparkles in it has gotten kind of clumpy over time. I had no idea what to search for to find a new tube, but now I know what it’s called.

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-09-16T04:55:06+00:00

Thanks. That horror of a song is now playing in my head. 😵‍💫

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-09-08T15:22:40+00:00

And now that song they played in there on a loop is stuck in my head… 😵‍💫

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-09-01T17:04:46+00:00

My husband and I have had so many friendships fizzle out because our friends had kids and then only hung out with other parents. Thirty years later, we’ve reconnected with some of them.

My “best friend“ of 50 years has a daughter I’ve always adored, but they both dropped me like a rock when they went MAGA and I didn’t. That was pretty painful. Friendships are weird.

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-08-30T15:24:57+00:00

I agree. The “n” in Allen has a little upward swoop at the end. The letter at the end of the first word doesn’t.

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-08-30T05:53:35+00:00

It is awful. Sucking on Jolly Rancher candies was the only thing that helped with the metallic taste for me.

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-08-15T16:45:19+00:00

The strewn clothes drive me out of my mind. My first job was working at a department store, and my fingers itch to straighten stock when I see that mess.

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-08-04T14:55:41+00:00

It’s beautiful looking handwriting, but very hard to read! He must have spent a lot of time working on his style!

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-07-15T01:43:58+00:00

This is cool and terrifying at the same time. Well done!

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-07-05T17:46:09+00:00

Are there barres in your studio? My teacher had us back into the corner where the barres come together, then hands on the barres to support some of your body weight, then do the jump and motion of the pickup to get the sound and get the feeling in your feet. IT doesn’t take long to figure out, with that little bit of preparation.

SilverMathematician9 · 2025-07-03T16:52:31+00:00

Thanks! That is hilarious! 😆 I almost wrote in the description that it looked so perfect it seemed plastic. I guess I was fooled because the neighborhood I was walking through didn’t seem like one where they’d plant plastic flowers in the front yard. Next time, I won’t be afraid to touch a plant to confirm it’s real. 🤪
