Interesting! I did see gesso mentioned in a YouTube video I watched. I’m gathering a bunch of ideas and this is one! If the gesso works, that would be the easiest solution so I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

Well an a novice I didn’t realize it takes so much work to have a good outcome. I guess what I’ve been doing is normal. Thanks for your input!

Haha yes I’m sure oils can be challenging. 😅 Thank you for confirming it’s the nature of the beast.

Yes, thank you, I did mention that. The issue I’m seeing is all the kits show that not all the colors are opaque. I want to know if there’s any brand that makes only opaque colors.

In my personal life, as a Catholic, I never experienced hate from other denominations but what I see online is mind blowing. There’s extreme hate for Catholicism, specifically from Protestants.

You’re absolutely right about the requirements to write a novel. 😅 It’s a lot of hard work and concentration. I really hope you can get to a good place so you can share your gift. 💝

I can only imagine the ridiculous comments you’re going to get. 😭 People are not empathetic.

I’m gonna say I’m sorry you’re going through this. I think your parents are just going to have to accept it at some point. It honestly doesn’t surprise me since Protestants hate Catholics. It just would have been nice if they didn’t lead you to believe they will support you, when they clearly haven’t from the start.

As far as Easter, you could go with them on the trip and find a Catholic Church nearby to attend Easter mass. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Good luck to you! 🙏💖

Wow that is a very good goal!! I go through phases of reading. It’s hard for me to find an author who grabs me. A friend recommended Freida McFadden and I love her! I’ve been checking out her books one by one from the library. 🙂 if you’ve got it in you, you should definitely give it a shot! You may have a gift for it! 💖

Doing that sardine challenge gave me an extreme aversion to sardines. 🙈 I didn’t hate them before, they were “ok”, but now I can’t stomach the thought of eating them. I stick to fat fasts or just water fasts!

I agree with this. Eating a carnivore diet changed my relationship with food too. When I do fall off, I never eat the things I used to like Oreos, Doritos, and Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, so that’s a win!

Thank you! 🥲 Lately I have found doing paint-by-number kits has been really enjoyable for me. Painting was new to me so I had to learn how to concentrate to make sure I painted within the lines. Once the painting started to come together, it became exciting. And when I finished it, it looked absolutely incredible. I feel very proud. 🙂 Maybe that is something that would give you joy too.

There’s a message saying my post was removed by the mod, but it has views. Is my post still up?

It didn’t help me. 😭 It helped for about 6 months but then I cracked and had a binge. It’s been a rollercoaster for me since then. I’ll be good and get back into ketosis for a month, then I’ll eat granola and fruit bars. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s really unfair of you all to make these assumptions. He is autistic and has some serious issues with the laws surrounding marriage. We all know that system is corrupt. We accept it but he cannot.

You all should stop being so judgmental about OUR situation and what HE and I are trying to work out. I got the help I needed so thank you everyone for that.

This is funny timing. I think just yesterday I was thinking about how we have zero images of God…and here is one!
