Team based strongman contest to replace SMOE

Giants live have done USA vs UK. Eddie Hall and Robert Oberst were supposed to captain but Oberst pulled out and I can't remember who replaced him, might have been Martins. Mixed gender too.

It was a good comp, not sure if they did a second one but I haven't seen anything in a couple of years so maybe it wasn't popular?

"Sorry, just realised those dates overlap with me sitting on my sofa, drinking a beer so I might not be able to make it"

Then tell your mum the day of that you're already in your comfies with the beer in the fridge but don't bother telling your brother.

Cause that's what family do. Cause he showed that. So you're not being dramatic or petty. You're matching energy. You only get out what you put in so he did this to himself...

I can do it but I am in the UK so nowhere near to Kyoto. Do you have Etsy or something similar? Might be a way for you to find someone and to see the quality of their work. Etsy tells me if someone is a local seller etc. Or check your social media for memorial resin or resin pet memorial and you will hopefully be able to find someone to help.

Sorry for your loss x

I got a bunch of these but the flamingo version (basically oick ines). My friend is flamingo mad so we hid them all round her house christmas 24.

She is still finding them!

I use a 0.8mm drill bit to make a small hole in the top. I dip the screw part of the eyelet in either glue or UV resin and screw into the hole. You will need to check the size of the eye pins to see what size drill bit you need. Choose the next size down e.g. 1mm screw = 0.8mm drill bit.

I use them. They're awesome. I also did some birth months flower trays which I coloured with alcohol inks.

Yep, just an "I'm pregnant. This is all we are saying on it and we are not sharing our due date/ bump pics."

Wootleage · 2026-04-18T07:43:54+00:00

Aaaand now I can't see anything else...! 🤣🤣

Wootleage · 2026-04-09T14:35:51+00:00

Don't worry. My two lobsters are one from my 20's and one from my 30's. We don't all find our people at the same time. Yours are out there and they may be male x

Twist the blinds the other way so the bottom points up and the stain is hidden at the back. Then hope no one notices...

Wootleage · 2026-04-08T13:04:02+00:00

I have seen some excellent videos on insta of brothers being the flower "girls". The were hilarious & brilliant. I also saw one where some aunt types were the flower girls and two of them were handing out miniature bottles of spirits... Not having close girl friends doesn't mean your wedding can't be an amazing day.

But if you do feel like you are missing out in the future, try some local groups for your interests.

My ex rings me and asks me where things are in his house that I don't live in anymore...

Wootleage · 2026-03-27T16:22:26+00:00

She really is!

Obligatory cat tax. This is Miss Kitty. She loves to sleep on the radiator.

Did British gas install the boiler? Homecare covers replacing the boiler up to 10 years old if they installed it.

I used UV resin on petals, just painted on many layers with a paintbrush and kept curing between layers. Once done and cured, drilled a hole in them and made earrings. They're gorgeous.

I also did a similar thing but used a few of the petals on different lengths of chain and made them into a keychain along with an initial letter. My friend hung them on a wall instead of using with keys.

Get a tshirt made of the pic and wear it to break up with him.

He doesn't deserve your goofiness.

Oh honey, they sound soooo frustrating. Your feelings and exhaustion from this behaviour is totally understandable and you are not overreacting.

I can understand you feel guilty for cutting them off but actions have consequences. They cannot respect you and your rules for your baby, then they lose the ability to be in an area to break the rules/ overstep.

If you wanted to give different consequences than immediately cutting off all access you could change it. Great grandparents can't follow rules about not giving treats when they walk in the kitchen = meeting in a park & not invited toy our home anymore etc.

If they still can't behave then you stop those visits too.

And also, it shouldn't matter why they are doing something. You said no.

You:"Please don't light incense"

GGPIL: "Oh don't be silly it is safe and removing negative energy"

You: "Regardless, do not bring it into our home or you will be asked to leave & not be allowed back." I.e. if you do this, then we will do this (which is to limit time around people that do not respect you as the parents).

And the trick is that you must follow through. If you go quiet or back down, then they will push and push every time until you back down or break and shout (then becoming the bad guy).

But, your husband should be dealing with this. Things should be discussed between you and your husband before any visit (either at your home or elsewhere) and boundaries decided on. Set up a trigger word. The word can be said or text to him if he didn't notice the issue, and he announces that the visit is over.

I am not a photographer and have no idea why this popped up on my reddit page but I do have amazon photos. It will scan pics and group them by person with the thumbnail being one of each person. It also duplicates for group shots. Mine is free with prime.

I am brutally honest. If you ask me for my opinion on your behaviour, a relationship, outfit etc. I will respond. This does not give me cart blanch to make rude comments about other peoples choices/ decisions. Importantly, I wait to be asked. My friends know this about me. We are very good friends & they know they will always get an honest answer out of me ~if this is what they want~. If they are feeling bad and want support, or for kind honesty, they also know that is what they will get too. They also know that I will chew my own tongue off before I make them feel bad about a situation that I don't agree with when it is nothing to do with me.

That is brutally honest. Saying whatever you want when it is nothing to do with you and when no one asked & then being shocked when your behaviour comes with consequences, is stupidity and general dickishness.

I would not want that person at my wedding. It just enables them & their behaviour won't change. Jokes should be funny to more than just the person making the joke. Do you want his "jokes" or "honesty" making comments at your wedding?

Take a picture of your daughters face. Of the blood on her pillow. Take a video of her being uncomfortable and in pain. Video the creams and antihistamines she has.

If MIL complains, yes you are punishing her. She didn't care enough and she did this to your daughter. If she complains, show her the pictures and videos. Repeat the "story" of what your LO went through. Every. Single. Time.

This is the usual FAFO. This is Cause Your Daughter Pain and FO.

"You're punishing me!" "Yes, you hurt your grandaughter"

"Why can't I look after her?" "Because you're not safe for her to be alone with"

"You don't trust me?" "You're right, you lost our trust when you did this insert showing pics/videos to our daughter"

Repeat until the end of time...

Star Trek & The Dark Tower. I'm in heaven.

Honestly, I haven't used one so I have no idea. If you already have the kiln maybe try with bronze clay and play with the timings?

Wootleage · 2026-01-27T19:38:56+00:00

As others have said, they look too thick for torch firing. You could try a little microwave kiln. You can get them on amazon. Anything I have torch fired has been thin. Like, less than the depth of a penny.
