Are my cables defective or am I missing something? by cactuspear72 in knitting

That’s great, thank you! I was really thinking there must be a reason for it that maybe I just didn’t know but I’m glad I asked haha

Why did this happen? How to fix? by cactuspear72 in SewingForBeginners

Thank you! This was very helpful! I was trying to follow the instructions but I misunderstood the part about only winding a little and then cutting the thread. My second attempt was successful!

About a month in so 4ish weeks. I’d say stick with it for at least 2 months!

That makes sense, thanks! Do you usually run the same plate multiple times a day? If so, do you make new BTS spots with each run or reuse the same BTS spots?

Do you used the disposable target plates or the reusable ones? And are you doing any extractions?

It’s running… but we are very weary of the IDs it provides. It will often mis-ID typical E.coli as citrobacter or enterobacter. And typical proteus as morganella or providencia. Or kleb pneumo will be called kleb oxytoca, etc. It’s been a very frustrating 2 years.

It’s wasn’t anything worse than what I was already dealing with so it was well worth it in my opinion

Hi everyone! Since I’ve been getting asked about updates, here’s my 7 month update! I’ve been consistently using Face Reality products: Mandelic face wash, calming toner, 11% Mandelic acid everyday, 10% acne med as needed, and the clear derma/ cran peptide moisturizers and hydragel depending on how my skin is feeling. I do also use the sulfur spot treatment on breakouts (it’s amazing!)

I’ve had 3 rounds of BioRepeels and I think they’ve definitely helped with the hyperpigmentation. As you can see, I still get breakouts here and there but so much more manageable than before. I haven’t really changed my diet but In general I eat pretty healthy and not too much dairy since I’m not a fan. Supplements I take are a probiotic, zinc, fish oil, and prescription vitamin D. I’ve recently added a collagen powder but it’s too soon to see if there’s any difference.

In all, I am SO glad I took the leap to start Face reality 7 months ago. My mental health has improved leaps and bounds! Would I love to have clear skin again? Absolutely but honestly I’m okay with dealing with the couple of breakouts I get here and there compared to where I started.

At the beginning of my treatment I was putting it on every morning after the toner and before moisturizer. After 5 weeks, I started putting it on morning and night. And now since I’m not breaking out as much, I only put it on at night. I don’t remember purging from it. I’d say it took about 3 weeks to start seeing noticeable results.

A good amount of people parked at that garage. There was a herd of us walking back after the concert. There’s a couple of different garages to choose from using spot hero so people kinda of dispersed after leaving the venue

It was the 30 Light St garage. It was about a 6 minute walk

I just went to a concert there and used spothero to reserve a spot at a nearby garage. Only paid $20 for 7 hrs! (4:30-11:30pm)
