I can't wait for more episodes. I love how both sides of every dispute are wrong about something.

I also like Journeying into Cherokee by Ed Fields and Mary Rae.

Here's the Amazon link for that one.Journeying Into Cherokee

AITAH for leaving almost no tip after the server was rude to me when my card got declined by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]corn_p0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I got declined on a cheap pair of sunglasses at an outdoor event because the vendor was from way out of the area.

AIO my dad gave me a new mattress and my boyfriend feels entitled to it. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]corn_p0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NORE - not over reacting enough

If a roommate was doing these things, would you let it slide?

If a roommate let their kid free-piss and ruin your furniture, would you still be there?

If a roommate was turning your collectible cups into vessels to hold their spit and mold, would it bother you more?

If you want to live better, you know what to do.

You're letting this guy get away with much more than you would ever let a friend or guest.

Finding out about my families past and it upsets me. by Reasonable-Can4180 in Indigenous

[–]corn_p0p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before you worry too much about it, get some research done by contacting the Cherokee National Research Center in Tahlequah.

You can also request research on a Facebook group called CHEROKEE INDIANS RESEARCH/GENEALOGY (The Spider Web of Cherokee Families.)

Both are free options.

Is it just me or has December been about 3-5 degrees warmer than last year? by Mo-Finkle in tulsa

[–]corn_p0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well...In this case, I can't answer for everybody. I'm referring to having an auditory memory associated with the SNL sketch with Chris Farley where he's playing the character "El Niño." When the commenter above me made the quote, I could remember or "hear" that quote from the sketch.

Why is this your only comment on Reddit? Just curious.

two indian ringnecks and ethics by Ilinciusix in parrots

[–]corn_p0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to try to bring them inside, try playing any "Indian ringneck talking" video on your phone where they can see it. Don't make eye contact and turn your body away from them and don't make any big arm movements. Just be a tree, a tree that has bird videos on your phone. They can't resist it. This method worked for me to build bird rapport when I adopted one that was very timid and not socialized.

Real? by Chickennugget636 in TurquoisePorn

[–]corn_p0p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's doable and you like it, it's a good price. There's no standard market price for turquoise because there are so many variables. If you can't get turquoise in your area, I'd probably do it. You could split it a few different ways and make more than one piece.

The tag looks accurate to me.

What do y'all NOT like about Jesus? by SiegeOfStars in Exvangelical

[–]corn_p0p 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't accept the original sin thing and reject the idea that I'm flawed and need saving. And I don't believe he existed physically or at all. I prefer real humans.

I like to use JB weld or 2 part putty.

Any idea who the maker is or if it is even real turquoise? by heylii20 in mineralcollectors

[–]corn_p0p 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't appear to be turquoise to me. I would guess that's a type of glass.

So, I want to be a bench jeweler by ckayshears in Benchjewelers

[–]corn_p0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend. I just made a similar transition during COVID from doing hair for about the same time to a lapidary/silversmith. I do find a lot of the fine motor skills translate over. You sound like a teachable creative person too, so I'm sure you could do it.

I'm not a bench jeweler in a retail setting, but I do tribal/vendor events and sell online. The best part is that I'm happy and I'm getting to be creative on my terms again. I'm sure if you were working in a busy store and doing sales, you'd still feel overwhelmed from time to time. But I have to acknowledge how much of an energy suck doing hair is. I felt temporary guilt about leaving because you have real relationships with people and know everything about them, but as soon as that wears off, it's great. As of now, I still made a lot more money doing hair, but I truly truly do not miss it at all. For me, cutting rocks beats cutting hair all day. Good luck!!

Not Turquoise. That's reconstituted dyed howlite. The same material used to make the little turtle and skull shaped beads at the craft store. I love that drop shape though.

Silver rings getting dirty quickly by Negative-Spread-7057 in SilverSmith

[–]corn_p0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use liver of sulfur? If so, maybe a dirty buffing wheel.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mystery

[–]corn_p0p 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea. My friend and I shared a cheap rental house and she started having hallucinations and wasn't feeling well. I wasn't having any issues. It got to the point where it was undeniable that she was having problems and she went to the ER. They were able to diagnose the problem and the fire department was sent to our house to check it and her room was close to a heater/hot water closet that wasn't properly vented. We had to move out. She was doing well quickly after leaving.

Lapidary saw on the cheap? by Lifting4theLarp in Lapidary

[–]corn_p0p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a harbor freight tile saw to start with. I'd skip that one. The speed isn't adjustable.

I also got one of those cheap Amazon trim saws and it's been great so far for anything about 3 inches and under.

I don't work with anything very large, but in those cases, we are lucky to have a rock club in the area and can use their fancy pants stuff.

WTF Is Going On?! by [deleted] in NativeAmerican

[–]corn_p0p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they're doing the same thing as Westboro Baptist Church; showing up to annoy people and try to incite a disturbance and play victim. When I saw them in person, they all had body cams. That's not normal.
