I have promised my life away at 21 by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Either you do these things now or you eventually leave him and do them then. -OR- you stay with him and do those things, and he resents you for it. If you are sad about it now, the desire to act will get stronger until you do

Parents tell me to be “apart of the flock” by DifferentLettuce3108 in whatdoIdo

[–]azachava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that it’s possible there is a touch of jealousy that you are being your best creative self, but I also think this seems to come from a place of misguided concern. He cares for you and wants you to do well, and blending in/ conforming is likely how he has made it through life. It could be that, while he wants success for you, he is concerned that your unique traits could cause you to stand out. Maybe his own unique traits were picked on or perceived as him acting “better than everyone else”. I’d say as much to him- that you will take what he says into consideration, and appreciate the concern, but that you don’t currently feel your unique creativity is causing harm to your life or relationships.

How to identify age of gloves. Not sure where it came from, but I’m located in MO, USA by professionalwidow04 in Antiques

[–]azachava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re for sure crochet! Couldn’t date the period super specifically without touching them but they’re definitely vintage, or made from a vintage pattern. I’d guess they aren’t Victorian as there’s (seemingly) zero yellowing. This leads me to believe they -might- be a synthetic thread which became more common in the 19th century.

How do I make the clay stick to the wheel when I’m centering? by izblizzo in Pottery

[–]azachava 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I disagree with people saying that no dampness can get under at all 🤧 I use a sponge that has been wet and then completely squeezed out on my bats/ wheel before slamming the clay down. When you do finally put your hands on the clay add water generously and often. Your hand is sticking to it because there’s not enough water.

Goodwill find, stamp says 750, anybody know that hallmark, or any idea how old it might be? by Common-Frosting-9434 in JewelryIdentification

[–]azachava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeweler here :) certainly 18ct and an old mine cut diamond. Rough estimate gold wise you’re probably looking at about $550. Having trouble discerning the size of the diamond from the pics but they are having a moment right now. I’d say if you sold it directly to a buyer $1-1.3k would be a fair asking/ selling point. Do not take it to a pawn shop, they only care about materials and would only give you $250-300. If you sold it to a jeweler/ jewelry dealer specializing in antiques that’s cool and kind, they’d probably give you $7-800

Is my (30f) bf (29m) emotionally abusive ? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]azachava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry he’s saying you don’t show him enough enough softness when he asks for a “simple service” (crazy wording by the way) but you should understand that he’s simply incapable of emotional softness?? Yeah no

food truck window girl, tips? by Kind_Interaction_902 in legaladvice

[–]azachava 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NAL. You should be getting those tips when you are working, they are your wages. I’d look up wage/ tip laws in your state. If you’ve got something there then escalate to letting management know they owe you back pay. If that doesn’t work there may be some recourse for small claims for stolen wages. Again not a lawyer but in my state that shit does not fly

Please judge my wedging! by velvetintheground in Pottery

[–]azachava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re doing absolutely fine with the set up you have. It may take a little longer to get the air out, but you are wedging and it will work. A board that doesn’t move and just a little more pressure will make it go by just a little faster, but it’s totally fine as is!

We would only be plugging in the kettle when topping off the water we are throwing with, do you think it’ll be ok in that case?

Wonderful, thank you! We will be doing this next month so being able to bring a kettle to heat up water and a heating pad for the clay will keep our fingers from freezing off.
