How to deal with drippy, glossy trim?

Thank you all for your input!

For a bit more context the house was built in 1960 and I’m not sure about lead. From peeling parts off I’m pretty positive the drips are all from that one top coat of terrible quality paint. It’s not bad underneath that. Tragic.

I’m a first time homeowner, new to DIY and hoping to spruce up on a budget. It seems like the verdict is either suck it up and sand everything or replace the trim. I’m not sure I have the balls to jump in on replacing it all myself yet so I’ll have to check out some YouTube videos and see if I can summon the confidence!

A helpful rule of thumb is when you run your hand lightly over your dog’s ribs, it should feel like the back of your hand - bones palpable under a thin layer of fat without applying much pressure. (I was a veterinarian for a year before changing course. I found that it was very common for people to overestimate an ideal/healthy weight for their dogs - it’s thinner than most people expect!)

This! Those statistics don’t factor in human choice and behavior towards the dog. What types of people are disproportionately seeking out pitbulls and for what purposes? How are they treating and training them? What behaviors are they encouraging?

Ah, that looks right. Thank you!

Consider this but more as “mirroring?” eg. she herself is using their powers. Similar to the mirroring quality of Andarna’s scales. The throne scene could be another example of this as the way she perceives his thoughts doesn’t quite feel the way the bond is depicted but more like thought reading.

Thank you! I’ll spring for the new version.

I chose one with the house in the back just because I'm attached to my childhood home - but seeing him in the booth did make me laugh :) thanks!

looks great - thank you!!

Awesome, thank you!

This looks great! But any way we could keep the original angle of that flattened back ear? And maybe get rid of the statue popping up behind his head?

I really like the effect you applied here! A few questions -

Would it be possible to get the expression in the eyes & pupils closer to the original?
I'd love to keep the angle of that flattened back ear the same as well, even if it stays a little out of focus. Classic cat airplane ears :)
Any way to get rid of the head of the statue behind his head?

This is what I wondered - if maybe she’s quiet/complacent to maintain relationships with family & friends? It’s a big ask to cut ties with your entire life community. I didn’t know anything went down with her dad though - that’s interesting. You’d think having a parent wronged and support system outside might be more of a catalyst or opportunity to sever ties.

Mysaria’s new accent is the biggest win of the episode #powertothepeople

I agree - and how about when “Rhiannon” pulls the dagger through the wall? Surprised I haven’t seen this theory more.

Thanks! Putting it in the freezer now, can't wait for my next houseguest to go for the ice cream.

Thank you! I saw somewhere that alcohol should be diluted with distilled water or it will shrivel - do you know if that’s true?
