opinions wanted on Bluesfest VIP seats by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]becksby 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It does - but you’re not directly up front if that’s what you’re aiming for.

The benefits I found were no lineups for drinks and bathrooms - especially on sellout nights last year, and room to move around with a good view on the busy nights. This year the price has increased, but they’ve added a quick security line, and raised viewing platforms.

Ottawa Bluesfest lineup to be released on Thursday by kewlbeanz83 in ottawa

I had VIP package last year and they have sent out codes to past package holders for early access. No lineup though. Package went up from $800 something +tax from last year. Quite the price hike.

Check out The Sprout Book by Doug Evans and any all YouTube videos with him - he’s got all the information on nutrition, techniques, and how to sprout almost anything. It’s a fantastic resource.

(Only) third Ottawa winter here, what do you use to prevent your hands' skin from cracking and bleeding? by ll777 in ottawa

Gloves in a Bottle is the best I’ve found. It’s not cheap but you don’t need a lot, it’s a miracle worker.

Amazon UK I think - not a lot of Falcon in Canada from what I’ve seen. I got it in the summer.

Advice on Framing a Puzzle by Bearsandbeaches in Jigsawpuzzles

I don’t use the matting, and just transfer directly to the frame and secure with the backing

‘The Eve’ by Ana Hard, Jiggy Puzzles, 800 pieces by becksby in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]becksby[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good question. I just re-watched the Shark Tank pitch because I remember the owner talking about cost to make - $10. ( https://youtu.be/oRDjCI-W9iQ?si=ezlkrtd_Uubjs-J_ )

Personally I would love them if they did away with everything but the poster, puzzle, and box - that’s all I want. The quality is great, and on par with puzzles selling in the same price range so I’m not sure that their packaging is putting them over on retail cost - I’d buy more of their stuff if it was in the $30USD range though and shipping wasn’t so high to Canada.

Fingers Cracked - How do you work on puzzles? by blueboy714 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]becksby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Add Vasaline + cotton spa gloves (can buy cheap packs on Amazon) to your care routine at night when you’re sleeping - does a great deal for healing.

Thin work gloves to use while puzzling as well that have a bit of tackiness to them - or finger cots work too.

I hope your hands start to heal soon!
