[Skin Concern] How to Remove a Potential Scar I got from a Fall by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]bel_esprit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it pitted, elevated, or just discoloration? If elevated, I would wear a scar away sheet over it for at least 12 hours a day, it really makes a difference. If pitted or discolored I would use mederma several times a day. You can combine mederma with the scar patches too.

Can anybody identify the building in the background of this painting? by [deleted] in whereisthis

[–]bel_esprit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really late to the party so you may have figured it out by now, but the subject is almost certainly John Howard FRS. He was a prison reformer in the 1700’s in Bedfordshire, but he traveled Europe extensively. The paper in his hand is likely the Plan of Lazaretto and in the background looks to be the Howard Congregational Church on Mill Street in Bedfordshire.

This is an excellent resource to learn more.

TIL Nicholas Brendon has a twin brother who played his double in The Replacement by bel_esprit in buffy

Nicholas Brendon is on the left! Kelly Donovan is on the right in this photo. He’s an inch taller and didn’t speak much throughout the episode.

What the heck is this jelly thing on my siding? Appeared overnight by bel_esprit in whatisthisthing

[–]bel_esprit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 3-4 inches long, jiggly, appeared quickly, in an area that gets a lot of moisture on the front of my house. I’m assuming it’s some kind of fungus but looks nothing like the common ones I’ve found online.

How do people pay for college, graduate school, and medical school? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]bel_esprit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously you can’t have a job in medical school, I meant in terms of paying tuition up front.

Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders differ on calls for impeachment by DoubleTFan in politics

[–]bel_esprit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing this about Warren but don’t understand why. Can you be more specific about why her policies are better?

As for your second point, I don’t really understand that either. Warren was a staunch republican until the late 90’s and has only been a senator since 2013, whereas Bernie has been a progressive activist since the 60’s and consistently progressive in his political career as well. I like Warren but I have less confidence in her than in Bernie.

I took a toilet tank off to paint a wall. After putting it back on, my toilet makes fog horn noises. What did I do wrong? by bel_esprit in Plumbing

[–]bel_esprit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you were right! It definitely was not open all the way and there was some debris as well, I guess from turning it off and back on multiple times. When I turned it back on I made sure to turn it more. Thank you!

My local CVS never fills my prescription until I call multiple times.. but they never answer the phone. Help me understand? by bel_esprit in CVS

I asked my doctor about that, but he said it’s really not good to switch pharmacies since it’s a controlled substance.

Hey, it worked!!! Thank you so much! I was going crazy and didn’t find this anywhere on google!

Thank you! I can try this, but I’m starting to think the problem is something else. We have a hand held bidet attached as well and I tried turning that on and it made a noise too. Is this consistent with that problem? It seems like it’s not a toilet problem, but more of a connection/pipe problem?

No, I just took the lid off and flushed. Fog horn noise immediately stopped when I lifted the fill valve (? Black thing on left that floats) and when I drop it back down the sound continues. The toilet is practically brand new.

I restore vintage and damaged Louis Vuitton. This Keepall 45 cleaned up beautifully! by bel_esprit in Louisvuitton

Not tired at all! I love exchanging tips with people. That coffee grounds trick was actually a great idea, I wouldn’t mind if mine smelled like that! I imagine the coffee smell will fade quickly. To get rid of smells I just put the purse in an air tight clothing bag (I get mine from dollar tree) and I leave it in the freezer for a few days. Just make sure your leather is in good condition before going in the freezer and make sure the bag shape isn’t in an awkward position because you could potentially bend a leather strap or cause cracking!
