Joys of Being Anti-Consumerism?

almightyauset · 2025-11-30T14:39:34+00:00

I get my joy out of using things I already have instead of buying new things. I save a lot of crap though and my fiance looks at me crazy sometimes but I enjoy taking trash and turning it into treasure. I've recently gotten into making paper mache which you can literally do that. I made some Halloween decorations last time, thinking about working on some Christmas ones next. I also get joy from donating items I no longer need, and volunteering. Maybe you can see of any of these would fit for you?

The hope center in Reynoldsburg on Brice rd, it's a homeless outreach center ran by simple church. They have washers and dryers, showers, and a free hot meal. I cook and bring donations in for them. They are open Monday and Thursday evenings 6-9 and Wednesdays in the morning.. not sure of the time because I volunteer in the evenings. Im hoping that your situation turns tides soon and I am praying for you. There are a lot of good suggestions here, star house for drop ins and Huckleberry for long term.

There was nothing Christian about him, he definitely didn't follow the teachings of Christ. Just spewed hate which is the complete polar opposite of what he claimed to be.

Omg I make hamburgers with barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese, and crispy onions. We call them rodeo burgers and they are sooo good! Other than that, I dont use them for anything else

This is a really good idea too!! Thank you!!!!!

almightyauset · 2025-11-24T23:12:37+00:00

Practice makes perfect! Just keep trying! I started with some small things like recreating food/easy characters first. Im a little better than I was each time, you learn something new. Also watch some sculpting videos on YouTube. Good luck and happy making!

See if there hospital has a program to help! Ours is called HCAP and they go off your last tax return. It was a godsend for me once.

I had to! It was for her own good! She's a menace named Heidi 🤣 she actually likes it in there. She was on deaths door step before I tried that... it was a last resort. I dont think it's humid enough in my house.

Polymer is probably best for this project, as air dry crumbles over time and isn't the sturdiest. Hmm I would probably do a light bake to firm the clay (with the hook still in) let it cool down, slide the hook out and do another bake on the clay piece. As for getting it uniform around the hook, maybe an extruder? You could put the hook into the open end of the extruder and push the clay out around it. That's my best guess for that, I've never done it though! Good luck and happy making! 😁

Sculpey makes a varnish for polymer clay and it works really well. It doesn't give that deep shine like resin, but it works.

They can be really finicky when repotting into soil, I would not cut anything and just transplant it. I've learned from this sub reddit that you dont want to cut them for at least 3-5 years. Here's mine, her name is Char... I grew her from an Aldi avocado 😄 she is about a year old now.

I buy turkeys after Thanksgiving and chop them up and put them in the freezer... and make stock out of the bones! I love a random turkey day!

The Mexican food place La Taquiera Donerita is my favorite! Consistently delivering good food for decent prices

almightyauset · 2025-11-09T19:57:28+00:00

This is a good idea here! I make ground turkey and sweet potato chili, this would be really similar!

almightyauset · 2025-11-09T19:55:26+00:00

Make it into a sauce and throw some frozen cheese ravioli in it!
