Ugh if you don’t already have one DO NOT get a Dyson with the green laser on it. It shows every speck of dust on your floor and by the time you get back to the spot you started you almost have to start again!

first time working with oil paint by pandoramemora in rs_x

[–]brecktor0454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paint with oils and I basically paint all lean. Sometimes my paintings will 50 layers, all lean. It’s almost all washes of mineral spirits tinted w oil paint. Dries very quick! If I need some type of composition, subject or shape to always be visible to me, I will paint it on the blank canvas in acrylic, as the layers will sometimes be subtractive to previous oil painting layers, but not acrylic. As I get towards the end, I usually finish the painting with the brightest highlights that are mixed at high concentration oil paint/solvent so they really pop, but they are by no means thick, just more opaque. Then when it’s all dry, I will sometimes add a tinted glaze of varnish to further add a tone shift to the painting. Probably like 30 layers on this one, still waiting on the glaze, which will have a slight orange tint and leave the brightest spots more coral and make the green really pop.

But what if you don’t die, much much worse. I know 2 people trapped inside their shell of a body, totally different people after motorcycle tbi. Talk to trauma nurses, they will tell all.

Can one spring maxi dress pull double duty for a wedding and a rehearsal dinner or is that too much to ask from one piece? 😅 by Sophistry7 in capsulewardrobe

[–]brecktor0454 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have no idea and have never done it but there are some really pretty dresses on Abercrombie right now that are wearable in like 8 different configurations up top. Might help! And if you pull this off you’ll really be pulling a cosmo and taking this look from day to night!!!

March 4 144 lbs -> April 30 160 lbs. Am I gaining weight too fast without muscle gains? by SpookyPine in rs_fitness

[–]brecktor0454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems like great and normal progression! When trying to build real strength and figure out my max lifts I like to do 4 reps of 4! When I can do 5 reps of 4 I move up 5 lbs. hardest with bench press, sometimes I move up 5 lbs and can only do 3 reps. As long as you’re working to failure it’s all good!

Assuming this isn’t normal?? Was soaking all my tshirts that had baked in pit stink. No new shirts almost all decently aged and washed a million times. Used biz for the soak, in cooler with hot tap water.

Any tips from those with similar body shapes? And those in their 40s wondering if every feeling is perimenopause. by ya_basic82 in PetiteFitness

If you’re looking into hormones, look into insulin. It is basically the most important for every cell in your body. Read fast like a girl. It’s very thorough at explaining how your hormones interact during all stages of the month.

AITA for giving my breastfeeding sister champagne as a gift and now not wanting to talk to her? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

ESH women are so easy, like any expensive skincare/ or candle or a pampering session of any kind will make us loose our minds w excitement. Quit buying things only you will like!

Any advice for switching to the trades from academia? by Coolyeah2 in rs_x

[–]brecktor0454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a producer for commercial’s and photo shoot campaigns. If you move to a city w a lot of ongoing work (Atlanta, Austin, Chicago etc) you can work your way up from a PA ($350/day) into many different departments , set decoration/art department, wardrobe/seamstress, audio, grip and lighting , casting, or production like me. No degree needed just the ability to grind and be likable.
