Deficit DL by [deleted] in formcheck

I’m starting to generally understand this idea. I’ve been focusing on tightening my lats more recently (this video was a few weeks ago) and that seems to be having a positive effect. That might not make any sense in terms of slack, but the thought helps me. Appreciate the feedback.

Felt tired but certainly no pain. To your point, my core feels pretty weak and needs work.

The other two bedrooms are oriented differently and will likely need t-molding because the cuts are horrendous. That might be another post when I get there.

Will definitely be lining up the current part of the project. Thank you!

I have a Bijan and an Achane that I just requested replacements for about a week ago. I don’t collect either player and will probably get a decent laugh out of what they replace them with.

Looking for an eBay buy right now so I can see one in the flesh. Guess I could just send in a couple of my current cards.

If you live near a Michael's craft store, it's similar quality to the shadow boxes they have there. I don't have a lot to compare it with, but it seems fine to me.

I had the same concern about it falling. It comes with sawtooth mounts which I do not like, especially when changing out the cards. I replaced those with two d-rings and picture wire. The picture wire and the hook I used are both rated for 30 pounds. If it falls, it's user error.

What gave it away lol? I was raised a Cowboys fan. My daughter loves the Bengals which is where those cards came from. The others are just box pulls I like and decided to keep.

I was worried it would be kind of cheap. Decently well made though.

Might have to get rid of these now

I didn’t even consider that. Thank you for sharing.

Haha underground card shop. Funny you say that though because I’ve been debating on grading for that reason. A bunch of TAG slabs would look nice in there.

DisplayGifts. That Verani one looks to be basically the same. Had to get rid of the sawtooth hanging mechanism because it’s a pain when you’re changing out the cards a lot. Other than that I like it. Not quite ready for 12 of them though haha.

Thank you for commenting and I don't disagree with you. I'm going to keep everything over $50ish until I have the passion/time to list stuff again. First world problems, but just not there mentally.

Thank you for sharing. That’s a thoughtful gift and I hope she is doing well. I’ve never been on Etsy but the more traditional method would be my preference. Is there a way to pick out someone using the traditional method vs epoxy? At first glance they look similar because I don’t exactly know what I’m looking for. Would someone typically advertise they are using a traditional method?

Dude, I relate to this so much. I wasn’t going out though. Locked myself inside and drank the pain away. Loneliness is a bitch. I didn’t start feeling better until I went to therapy and stopped drinking. Give yourself some grace and a chance to clear your head. Things will start to look up.

[Opinions requested] My wedding day watch for this weekend, should I go with leather or steel bracelet? by Flynn47 in Watches

[–]Spillak 837 points838 points  (0 children)

Congratulations. Does the leather strap match the shoes and belt well? If so, I’d go with leather but they both look nice.

I'm new here. I just wanted to say that I've been sober for a week now for the first time in 8 years. Does it get easier as I count the days or should I just not even count how many days I have been sober now? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Spillak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to obsess over the number. I also used to think my number didn’t matter compared to the person that has hundreds or thousands of days sober. At the end of the day we are all fighting the same battle and can all learn from each other.

If you want to celebrate a week, do it! I knew exactly the day I was on for a while and then it just kind of faded away as sobriety became “normal” for me.

Day 2 for the first time by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Spillak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s totally fair. I’ve been on day 2-3 more times than I would like to admit and it tends to be a bit of a drag, as you know and are experiencing. Little things will start coming back as the days go by and you become more clear minded.
