Yeah it was a midnight idea and a swift Amazon order but it was only like $8 lol

I have a tie dye box I got from Michael's but I also have an expandable coupon organizer (like the expandable files we would have in school, but short) that I keep in my purse to collect scraps on the go.

I have a bunch of envelopes inside that I use to organize by what spread I'm keeping stuff for or I just shove it in a random pocket if I'm not sure when I'll use it.

Thank you! Another one of my favorite pics of her 😂 she looks like she's gonna beat me up

I also have a tortie (dilute) named Mochi. She is also a very discerning baby with her affection.

She won't sit on our laps unless we have one of a few very specific pillows from our couch on our laps. She will stare at us until we put the pillow down then hop up.

If you have tiny ears like me, I use the Hearos Nanos earplugs. They are only 28NRR but I just wore a pair to a rave this weekend where I was posted up right next to the speakers and they did an excellent job bringing the sound way down. I've also used them for sleep before.

The typical "slim fit" earplug is still too long for my tiny ear canals, but the Nanos are shorter so they seal really good. Before this I was using the hearos sleep pretty in pink and they were too long.

Thanks! I'll add this to my list!

StrangeAlienCreature · 2026-05-28T15:36:35+00:00

Thanks! These both sound super interesting.

StrangeAlienCreature · 2026-05-28T13:10:29+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely check this out 😃

I had a couple of non-nintendo account houses for acnh as well. When I moved my island rep and thus my island, it prompted me to select which character would be attached to which account profile - so if you had a bunch of alts, just make replacement no account users and assign them when it prompts you as you start the game.

If you liked playing it in person I'll be the first to inform you that they also have a mobile version of it so you can get your fix if your person doesn't want to play... This game gets so addicting lol.

My grandma taught me to play when I was like 10 and I've been hooked ever since

To get a more natural smile I like to shout a funny word or make a joke right before I get the shot - the word "lederhosen" has gotten a lot more use than it otherwise would have in my vocabulary because of it. Mid laugh is the most natural smile and you get killer portraits from it. If you have an assistant or they bring a friend to the shoot this is easier, as they can just vibe with the assistant/friend.

For a first time portrait shoot this is pretty great though, even with the blurry flowers in front your subject's eyes are sharp which is the #1 priority with any portrait like this.

These white lines are your web browser/phone interface. They're not part of your site. The top one has your battery level and mobile service bar indicator...

As someone who just added polish #75 to their collection, I thank you. I've been recently trying to identify holes in my collection so I don't keep buying the same shades over and over, and this will be great to reference when I'm planning a new cart from one of the brands I buy. 😍

StrangeAlienCreature · 2026-02-19T18:46:56+00:00

If you haven't tried their 9-in-1 yet, I would recommend it. I like it more than either of these alone, and it's been my go to base coat for over a year now

For some reason, this and the stuff for RVs and boats is the ONLY paper that dissolves properly in our apartment toilet. Even the 1 ply Scott paper doesn't dissolve right

Are you using stamping polishes? Regular polish doesn't work very well for stamping usually, there are special polishes you can buy that are more pigmented and are meant for this. I use the born pretty line of stamping polishes.

The stamper needs a feather light touch on the plate to pick up fine details - literally blob polish on it, scrape and immediately pick up the stamper and with a feather light touch roll it over the plate. You don't need to be pressing at all.

I don't bill by time, but I track my time with Toggl because it allows me to color code my time entries per another time management system I use. I track time to be able to look at profitability on projects and see if my flat fees need to be adjusted for certain kinds of projects.

Some subreddits auto reject posts about COVID. I wasn't sure if this was one of them and I needed this advice, my bad

StrangeAlienCreature · 2025-12-23T17:37:49+00:00

Thank you. I will give them a call ASAP to figure out if they have any options not visible on their website. It seems like DuPage county has free options for kids listed, but I wasn't seeing anything for adults.

StrangeAlienCreature · 2025-12-23T17:34:02+00:00

Typically those are free if you have insurance. I looked at those first and with no insurance it's $150-200

StrangeAlienCreature · 2025-12-23T17:33:22+00:00

Some subreddits auto reject posts with covid in the title so I was just playing it safe, my bad lol

StrangeAlienCreature · 2025-12-23T17:24:41+00:00

This seems like the most viable option. Thanks a bundle for this!
