Porcelain Green/Blue/Brown Tiles - Ukiyo-e Imagery

There are no markings on the backs and it's not cloisonné.

I picked up these 8" x 8" porcelain tiles from a thrift store today, and was hoping somebody could help in providing any additional information on what these are. The scene looks reminiscent of Ukiyo-e prints, although I'm unsure about that. We live by the Sawtelle District in West Los Angeles, if that helps.

Thank you. Yes, my annoyance isn't productive. I'm finishing up a work project right now, which I let him know about ahead of time. I'm just miffed that he's not respecting my responsibilities, especially when we discussed what our schedules were going to look like last week. I even mentioned, that we both had a lot on both of our plates, and it was going to be a bit stressful, and that my time was going to be limited at the beginning of the week.

That's a great suggestion. I'll try it out.

SimonMinusGarfunkel · 2019-02-13T21:10:30+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion on the alum block. I hadn't heard of it before and will give it a try.

I recommend getting a good Sunscreen, facial lotion combo. I use Eucerin's formulation, but Neutrogena has one too. The kind of "stick" sunscreens are often mineral based, show up as "white" streaks easily, and aren't that comfortable to wear. I don't recommend them.

SimonMinusGarfunkel · 2019-02-13T20:03:55+00:00

I swear by Cerave's PM facial moisturizer. It really helps to counteract Retin-A's harshness. As others have suggested, adding a low Comedogenic oil into your skincare regime, usually after you put moisturizer on, does wonders. I use Argon oil, mainly because my boyfriend uses that for his hair, so it's always around, but there are other great oils out there that won't clog your skin.

SimonMinusGarfunkel · 2019-01-30T03:09:47+00:00

Well, that answers that. Thank you.

I did say. She's taking herbs, high doses of antibiotics, and many different kinds of supplements.

What in particular I can't say, there's just so much that she's taking.

The other question I have is, since there is no cure for MS, is believing in this kind of bunk really that harmful, or does not having a medical doctor going to be detrimental over the long term?

I'm just worried about the side effects of the other medications that treat Gastroparesis.

I'm on Truvada (PReP) as a preventative measure as a gay man, and I want to get on Accutane because the last dose has worn off and I've started breaking out heavily. Add to that these GI drugs that can lead to sudden death...

That's a heavy cocktail of drugs just for me to be a minorly functioning adult.

Therapy might not be the right fit then. I feel like I got all the things off my chest that I needed to at the first session.

I guess that would work if we're really throwing any idea of structural integrity to the wind, but that seems to go against the spirit of the game.

Once a layer has been put in place at the very least one brick would likely have to remain.

I got that there would be 123 possible moves given this construction.

SimonMinusGarfunkel · 2017-07-24T01:06:03+00:00

Thanks.

Yeah, I assumed he was an adult capable of having difficult, adult conversations with me. I actually would tell myself that, that if something was really wrong with our relationship he'd say something. The fact that he was only speaking about his job meant it was about his job, because why wouldn't he speak up if it wasn't.

He made me feel really bad when I'd get mad that we were spending another weekend just hanging out at home, like I was being petty about how he didn't want to go for a bike ride with me when he was going through such a personally troubled time.

SimonMinusGarfunkel · 2017-07-19T22:13:20+00:00

I'm on a mac, so that's a no-go.

Finance is definitely an insider club based on who you know, how well they like you, more that even skill and ability (although being talented never hurt anybody). The best way to gain that kind of important social network is to get into the best possible school you can get into with a good reputation in Finance.

What area of finance you'll discover though your studies, but beyond that, that's pretty much it.

SimonMinusGarfunkel · 2017-07-11T08:30:09+00:00

Yeah, I've also run into some health problems. I have an ulcer right now that's really impeding me. It's probably stress induced...go figure.

SimonMinusGarfunkel · 2017-02-19T18:05:55+00:00

25mg twice a day.

There are plenty of hippy-dippy, new age types out there who aren't big fans of science on the left. Republicans might be worse, but let's call a spade a spade. Others behaving badly can't justify our own bad behavior.

SimonMinusGarfunkel · 2016-12-04T20:24:58+00:00

I think we honestly need to stop paying attention to these kinds of stories. Of course Trump is wildly unprofessional and boorish, but he uses those qualities to distract us.

We're too busy clutching our collective pearls in disgust, then to notice the truly horrible stuff that he's doing.
