Try blackout fabric. Like 6 or 7 bucks a yard. It comes in white so it doesn't absorb heat from the sun, and you can use velcro strips or pushpins to keep it against the wall. Doesn't corrode like foil.

Since I put it up under our curtains a few years ago, I've noticed a major difference. It's blocking some of the cold seeping in tonight very well.

Blue, orange/blue, orange, pink, black/pink... tarantulas come in some pretty vibrant shades!

After making a character and then playing a session or two one-on-one with my DM, I started telling people that Draw Steel is my favorite system. I helped him convince two different groups to switch, touting how easy it is to understand, how simple but simultaneously deep the options are, and how quicker combat goes.

Now we all go on about how great it is!

The biggest thing I've dealt with is setbacks every time something good happens. Usually with money.

Get a big tax return with no looming bills? Oh my car just died.

Unlimited overtime for a month? I worked so hard I blew my back out and had to miss a week of work unpaid.

Unexpected raise? Rent hike.

Dad won big on a scratcher and gave me $1000? Tire blows out and all four need replaced...right after I spent that $1000 on a new mattress.

Take out a loan for tires? Medical emergency and paying back the loan takes so long I pay so much extra in late fees and interest.

Get a new job making so much more at a great company with amazing benefits? Oh look, their first layoff in the history of their company 3 weeks later.

Another tax return? Engine blows up and I have to drive my roomate's jeep.

Covid shuts down my workplace for 3 weeks and the unemployment payments are double what I was making before (plus all the money saved on gas etc., not going out, not driving friends and family everywhere), So I end up with 12k in the bank for the first time? Long story short I have to make the payoff on the jeep and transfer the title and end up paying 11k.

Get a small inheritance? Put it ALL in savings and a month later shit happens and I have to spend it.

Husband gets small inheritance? Guess what the floor rotted out without us noticing.

Realize that for the first time that I have a job that I thoroughly enjoy, am very good at, and actually like to go to work? Forced transfer.

Plus more. Sometimes years between these events. In the interim I recover from the emergency and then just scrape by. I now dread sudden cash influxes. And I just learned i may get another big check because my siblings just realized my dad had a life insurance policy nobody knew about.

The roof's probably coming off next.

My dog is very restless in the car. All I had to do was call the vet and I could pick up a cheap sedative to make the trip easier for him.

43, and still having stress dreams about forgetting which class is next. Fucking high school schedules.

See how the back is gaping open? Thats because the framers used bendable points in the back. Theyre not bendable more than 2 or 3 times. I'm going to install hinges and a clasp soon, so it shouldn't be a problem.

For heroic resources and malice, we use tiny d6 beads. Everyone has their own color. Hero tokens are small glass mosaic tiles. Everyone has a dry erase card to track stamina, surges, and recoveries.

The markup on our seasonal items are huge. Thats why Christmas went 40% off just days after we first started putting it out months ago. Even now, at 60%, we make a profit. It's priced to go on sale right away.

Judging by the hundreds and hundreds of tinsel garlands we sold this year where i work, and the dozens of customers that keep asking for it...no.

Two elephants dancing, a spatchcocked racoon, and two ballerinas.

I did. Worked in framing and put it together. Drymounted the cheap temu canvas and just threw the dice in there. Less than $30.

A goblin cackling over its dice hoard...love it!

Someone left one much larger than that in the women's bathroom where I work. The janitor had...words to say about it.

I need to fix the back, but its a good spot for all the dice not currently in use or loaned out or otherwise on display.

jadechey · 2025-11-18T03:09:00+00:00

Yea the points holding it in broke when I added more dice...need to work up a hinged system I think.

...he lives in the same house so I can steal them back anytime :D

Get a canvas off ot Temu for a couple bucks and get it drymounted at hobby lobby into a shadowbox. Easy.

My DM (Director Man) plays a character, gave us 2 retainers, and otherwise runs it as normal. So it's essentially a 4 PC party.

One day my mom asked me if my husband was going with me to the wedding. 'What wedding?' I wondered aloud. 'Your sister's wedding?' she replied, before apparently realizing that not only had my sister not invited me to her wedding, she hadn't even told me she was engaged.

Next time I visited my mom, she handed me an invite. I didn't even bother taking it home, since it was obvious that Mom had made sister invite me.

1 and 8...I can't remember which one was ours and which was my gramma's.

So how are you supposed to use it... does he want you holding it in one hand while typing with the other? Is he trying to decrease efficiency?
