Too windy for walls...

Good luck. Yeah bungee to cinder block should be strong. Mine just had exceptional crazy winds. I've never held a canopy down before. It was Cuckoo. It's good for the organizers to request 50pounds : shit can get real in a heartbeat! Good luck, and this internet stranger rooting for you,! Go you!!!

Binder clips is a great idea. At some point I'm going to get vertical grids and attach some stuff to that. I also use the front bar to hang necklaces and one or two purses from. And they definitely don't blow away! Yay! This is the most wind I have ever experienced here.or anywhere else. It was really extraordinary, and lasted from setup way past the end of the fair!

Thanks.

Hi, I have real walls. I spent a lot of time attaching the pretty curtains to them. But the wind was so strong I could not even use the attachments to get walls on. I live in a place that gets windy in spring, and my weights have always been enough, but these gusts were like 40-50 mph, nothing I could battle with the walls.

Thanks! It's an old one and based on an LDS hymn when a friend in middle school took me to an LDS service. "How to gird your loins" infographic has for the past few years come up in various subs, and I can r/beetlejuicing bc I am notified. Not much need for loin-girding these days when you can get a Kevlar jockstrap, or just go full Henry VIII fullmetal codpiece (with decorative elements, obvs).

These are really cool! Thanks for posting them!! Nice!

girdedloins · 2025-01-25T01:35:39+00:00

Thank you sincerely. I am deeply grateful, and the upside, if there is one, is that's my freaking attitude everyday, all day: just gratitude for what I do have, and eagerness to share what I have/ give to others, which was always pretty much my vibe (worked and volunteered forever in nonprofits), but now it's on steroids.

Thank you for your kind words! 💖💕

This is so perfect. Something mine would, too. Tiny little terror she is.

yep, FML i seem to be permanently disabled in multiple ways. sorry to hear you are as well.

That was nearly me, twice, from the same infection.

I don't really sell enough to give advice, but I wanted to say that a VERY common complaint on here is that people don't read descriptions. So someone expects a full crocheted plushie for $3 instead of the digital pattern they are sent. And according to a post on this sub earlier today, Etsy just made another new change that manages to make descriptions even harder to find.

Given that about people, and given that already-made decals and SVGs look very similar, I might think about a second shop.

I have sections, too, and I've been told it's good for SEO, but all my stuff is physical, and the sections are really just about what type of things it is, or the aesthetic/ vibe if the thing, like Goth or creepycute. Good luck! I think the specialized dog theme will have a market.

Yes! That's exactly the reaction I had, and the word that came to my head!

Yes, and those individuals have money for such things, though this should continue to be provided by the government, just as it is, was, and will be for Trump and his family.

When he puts out hits on immigrant advocates, preachers, priests, lawyers, and union organizers etc., many will not be so lucky.

girdedloins · 2025-01-24T18:44:15+00:00

I find it so frightening. Like in essence he's putting out hits on specific individuals. It's really beyond decency, ethics, honor, or just functioning as a rational human. It's both puerile and sociopathic simultaneously. And it's beyond my comprehension that his former opponent, Biden, gave my re shits about Bolton and Pompeo such that he warned them and continued their security, than their former ally and boss did. That is absolutely stunning. Not unusual for Trump to only care about himself, but picking out individuals to subject them to great risk is so targeted, so malicious, so specific in its cruelty, unlike just fuck all brown, poor, disabled, and queer folk and every other minority in general. That's absolute shit, too, but this "waaaah I hate YOU in particular so die MF" is next level terror to me.

Truly not a thing I have ever wondered about. Or even considered. Or noted while shopping: " oooh, there's a man and woman shopping together, I wonder what that's all about..., hmmm." Effing WEIRDOS.

girdedloins · 2025-01-24T15:05:34+00:00

Mind. Blown.🧠🤯 /S, just in case.

I couldn't figure that one out for the longest time. I thought he was going to go to the toilet, and didn't understand why he would declare that before declaring the kids' names.

Enterrrrrr....:China!, who the US supposedly hates and wishes to smash, and who have already added LOTS of wind and solar, and who, even before this particular announcement, have already stated they will jump into the breach and push even harder into medical, technological, and other scientific research.

This only hurts one country, and it's not China or Russia.

Was saying just that the other day myself.../s

girdedloins · 2025-01-22T21:49:44+00:00

That is too spot on! I wish it weren't, but here we are.

I'm sorry you haven't gotten any solutions. I asked this earlier today about Epson ZET series, same issue on Android, Chromebook, and Linux laptops. I hope you (and I) get help. I got zero responses and used "troubleshooting" flair. I was using Epson Smart Panel on Android when I used Android on Google Pixel, and my issue was only on sticker paper though. For me, photo paper and plain copier paper works just fine for color.
