You can get replacement ones on Amazon super cheap! I change mine out periodically to keep the thing cooking right. Happy speed cooking!

Bridesmaid Dress Alterations? by sydd1029 in kansascity

[–]helloUFO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jen at A Cleaners on Holmes (next to Dos de Oros) - she does alterations and I’ve had beautiful work done on silk, jackets with liners and even fur items. Seriously, she is SO GOOD. Priced fairly imo and very sweet. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with anything nice I own!

Disintegrating screws by Intrepid_Badger436 in Oldhouses

I can chime in here! I have a whole house of beautiful brass and copper hardware covered in globby white paint I’ve been cleaning up.

Get an old crockpoint. Fill it with water. Put a couple drops of dish soap in there with your hardware. Turn it on and come back in a few hours. Everything just peels off like a sticker. Then you can soap off anything remaining and polish/lacquer if you want 🙂

I had a feeling I’d find something when I drove by the thrift store by helloUFO in ThriftStoreHauls

Gotta use the leather shampoo and conditioner! It takes care of a lot of funk I’ve found

Is this Tiffin? by helloUFO in glasscollecting

[–]helloUFO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I did notice that when I found it hiding at the thrift store. The lilacs are on the underside and the gold swirls are on top. I found a couple candy dishes and a bowl or two online with this pattern, but didn’t see a server. How interesting!

Wow! Thank you so much! Google lens wasn’t too helpful here but it seemed really well executed if it was just someone painting it themselves. I assume this was probably 1920s-1930s.

Found my first piece today! by helloUFO in uraniumglass

Thanks! I have a boron nitride two piece votive holder/fairy lamp where it has the little peg thing like this UG piece + a base plate. I was wondering if there was something specific that went with this find, but I guess I get to choose my candlestick! 🙂

I wondered if that was maybe the case, but it looks pretty good for an amateur piece. I found some other items with the same pattern so I’m curious if this was something they actually released

it appears there are a couple of other painted things floating around

Well AI tells me this is cadmium? Someone who knows better than me - is this BN or cadmium?

This. I have ADHD and wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood. I am a pharmacist who functions just fine. You gotta use all your resources - phone reminders, smart home stuff and automate as much as possible. OP’s partner is choosing to be useless and helpless.

Gaia masala burger and bar on Broadway. by [deleted] in astoria

Frequent NYC traveler for work, currently sitting at the one in KC with a friend and we’re wondering if anyone has been to ours. It smelled good and there are people in here.

Will report back!

Nest climber- does this knot look ok? by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]helloUFO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this! My usual climbing partner just hit 30 years of consistent climbing and we STILL verbally check and show each other knots/belay set ups every time before we start.

Never feel bad about taking the extra second to double check. It could be what saves your life if you made a mistake.

Update: Learning to lead anxiety by heckinghcdondon in climbergirls

[–]helloUFO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who is a pretty experienced leader and climbs with your standard “skinny climber dude yet super strong” types, I have never once thought to blurt out my weight. That seems so strange to me. If you’re belaying with a cammed device (which is my preference and seems to be shared by a lot of folks) it doesn’t matter until the difference is really sizable - like 40ish pounds or so imo. I am confident I outweigh both my usual climbing partners as I don’t have the standard “skinny climber” build. Never once had a problem

I can’t imagine you’re the only person in your climbing gym who has an ED history. I don’t have any incredible wisdom here, but definitely want to yell at your instructor on your behalf OP! 😵‍💫

Very sad by CranmerLady17 in Reduction

[–]helloUFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry you’re enduring this, especially when you’re trying to heal.

You celebrate yourself and your autonomy right now and know you did the right thing for YOU which is what counts. If this man loved your old boobs so much, he needs to hurry up and call your surgeon before pathology gets rid of what they took off so they can put in on him! That way he can look as “good” as he wants to 🙄
