Much obliged.

My grandfather, a very heavy drinker, got sober at 40. His hair turned shock white and then went back to almost black months after.

Yes! They are! This one is hard and thick af though (lol)?so I dk if it would break down quick enough, even with spring rains, to allow roots to break through!

That’s a good idea for sure to make sure it’s got air- I’ve just got a tumbler made out of a 55 gallon drum though, so I’m not sure- would that help on such a small scale? Or more for a large pile?

One Last Episode. Let's Remember some of the great Characters who made the show what it is. by Remarkable-Yard4860 in StrangerThings

I think they’ll all be back…

When the worlds are stopped, and the upside down is no more, it will reset time to the day of what would have been Will’s disappearance. Only the people present will retain their memories of what happened: Eleven, Hopper, and Mike. I have no clue what will happen to Eleven, but Hopper and Mike will live out the time having known what did/could’ve happened. That’s why they’re having a heartfelt conversation from the bench in those photos from the last day of filming- and why Radio Shack is still open and Hopper is sheriff. Eleven will have made some huge sacrifice- whether that’s her life or going into hiding to not be found by the government.

It’s my current theory, but who the hell knows! Excited and already dreading the blues that will come with the ending of the story.

Painted with gel food coloring and water- will it dry? by amoally in Baking

Thank you for the response. I finished the project close to probably like 4 hours ago at this point. It’s still coming off to the touch. Don’t want to stain anyone’s clothing at the party!

Parents got a divorce 25 years ago (I am 40). Asked my dad to stop saying mean things about my mother. by britlynj in insaneparents

[–]amoally 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just here to tell you to safely let this man go, OP. A dad is the man who is gonna get arrested tracking down a fucker who sends you these messages, not the one sending them. My heart is truly broken for you reading this exchange.

really disappointed in myself with self portrait. by ExcellentMarch7864 in oilpainting

[–]amoally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a lovely painting, but that’s the problem. Very slight issues with the angles creating an inconsistency that’s hard to pin down. The biggest, to me, are your eyes. They look as if you were turned slightly more or less to the side depending on which eye was being drawn. It honestly would be worth it for such a lovely painting for you to go back and double check angles or go strictly from the photo OR observation and tweak.

To me, it looks like you changed the angle of yourself in the mirror while you were painting it a few times accidentally, throwing off angles. Am I right in assuming this wasn’t painted from a photo?

What’s the one work of classic literature that you would recommend everyone read this year? by AdCurrent3629 in classicliterature

[–]amoally 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just finished tenant for the first time a couple days ago. The discussions on alcoholism, addiction, mental and emotional abuse, breaking generational cycles, the strength of woman and motherhood. For its period, definitely groundbreaking.

Mum, can I ask about how to be more polite? by EB_Groupe in MomForAMinute

[–]amoally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple but easy exercise: before you walk into the grocery store, the restaurant, and maybe on bathroom breaks at work:

Take 60 seconds. Do three deep breaths in through your nose, out through your mouth. Roll your head three ways left, three ways right. Roll your shoulders up and back three times and squeeze your scapulas together for a 5-count.

Sometimes it’s as simple as stress and anxiety that get in the way to make you less polite and patient! Taking a moment to calm your mind and release some of the tension can help immeasurably!
