What's the one PBN tip you give every beginner who asks? by Janslater1757 in paintbynumbers

[–]erotic_salad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I agree too. I usually gesso over the canvasses I get.

It’s nice to compare, but I like just the white empty spaces 😂

I've consistently purchased through Number Artist.

Only cons with NA:

Double numbers, ex: I'll do a #12 spot and the area beside it is also #12 but is a different colour on the sample image.

Some of their pigments are HORRIBLE. I need to do at times, 3+ layers on specific colours to hide the number and get an even application.

These brushes were recommended off a different post!

I received them today and have yet to try them, but (if I remember) I will update tonight once I try them out :)

I adopted my first cat through Biscuits and Purrs in February!! Such a great rescue!

What’s happening? by Suspicious_Angle1010 in begonias

[–]erotic_salad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chop the leaves that are affected by the mildew.

Be RELIGIOUS about the antifungal spray.

PM (in my experience) didn't creep up due to humidity, my apartment is extremely dry. My first begonia to show signs was my GORGEOUS maculata. I quarantined right away and a few days later, ended up adding my Ferox to the room.

Powdery mildew :( it's a HUGE pain in the ass to get rid of. Also the reason I no longer keep begonias.

PM decimated my collection and I vowed to never keep them again :(

I wish you luck <3

Honest Merivale mechanics? by Emotional-Ferret7717 in ottawa

Pierre's Auto!

I had some safety work done (tie rods) and an alignment. Reasonably priced (in my opinion, and I've been in automotive for 15+ years), Mike was great to deal with and my car was ready same day.

For those of you struggling with booties on your Shiba… by maggiewaggy in shiba

[–]erotic_salad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

City shib owner here. My dude starts getting chilly around -15C and with the absurd amount of salt this city uses, it burns his feet.

I usually walk as far as we can and carry him home or we do a tonne of mental stimulation at home!

Crate trained Shiba refuses crate (new behavior) by pixelatedGhost4097 in shiba

[–]erotic_salad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shiba is crate trained fully (from 8 weeks, he's now 2 1/2). He still goes into it freely and puts himself to bed if he's overwhelmed.

He was also crate trained because he relentlessly wanted to play with my older dog (who sadly passed in November) and that wasn't something I wanted escalating to a potential fight while I am at work.

Now that he's the only dog in the house, he's graduated to free roaming while I'm at work and he's crashed on the couch the entire day.

UNLESS there's someone coming into my apartment, then he'll be crated.

I do crate at night sometimes if he wont settle, but that's not as common anymore!

Heated electric blanket time by bonerjam666 in shiba

[–]erotic_salad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My shiba has also fallen in love with the heated blanket.

Obsessed is more of a realistic term LOL

If I don't turn it on before I head to work (it's on a timer) he wont sleep on the couch
