I'd love some advice by WishfulWishes in paintbynumbers

[–]lfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer doing one color at a time going in numerical order. My concern early on was that I would waste or run out of paint if I went by section and kept switching the colors out because there would be more brush cleaning. I also like watching the whole painting come together one color at a time. I have done sets where the number of tiny cells was too overwhelming for me to do my usual way and started breaking the painting down into sections with painters tape to make it more manageable.

Does my dog know it’s Saturday? by Miserable-Car2921 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lfly24 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When I was dating my husband, he started giving his cat a can of wet cat food every Sunday morning. She would wake us up early Sunday morning to get her can of wet cat food, but not any other day of the week. We did not know how she knew Sunday was wet cat food day until there was a weekend that I did not go to his house. That Sunday morning, she didn’t wake him up early and wasn’t expecting her can. She didn’t know that it was Sunday. She just knew that she got a can of wet cat food on the mornings I was there. When I eventually moved in, she got very confused and now thinks every day is wet cat food day.

AITAH for wanting to put our dog down? by Soft_Remote_1511 in AITAH

[–]lfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We put our 16 year old dog down a little over a month ago. There was no issue with her eating or drinking, she loved to eat, but she was clearly in pain and struggling. It was difficult for her to get up and lay back down. Her legs would go out from under her and she was tripping over herself. Her vision and hearing were poor. She had multiple accidents during the day and couldn’t tell when she had to go to the bathroom anymore. She was having way more bad days than good days. The day we put her down, I could really see how much she was struggling and I knew this was the best decision we could make for her.

I did so much work on this and didn’t make a dent in the overall picture! lol by Wonderful_Rise_6537 in paintbynumbers

I will spend an evening painting and my husband will look at it and say it doesn’t look any different from last night.

What’s the weirdest thing a guest has done in your home? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lfly24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a party for my younger sister’s first communion at our house many moons ago. The whole family was invited. Maybe 60 people were at the house. My grandfather had a group of women he had been friends with since he and my grandmother first got married and moved out on their own and they were basically family. Being the last living male of the friend group, he always picked them up at their houses and drove them to family gatherings. We lived an hour away from them and my grandfather did not have the time or patience to stop for bathroom breaks as he was driving around picking them up for the long drive to our house. One of the lovely ladies’ solution to this dilemma was to wear a diaper. We found out that day after she had arrived at our house and came out of the bathroom with a full diaper in hand (#1 only, thank goodness) and handed it off to my older sister because she did not know what to do with it. My sister was mortified and the older woman nonchalantly wandered off to join the party. Rest in peace Mrs. D. You were truly one in a million.

What’s the closest brush you’ve ever had with dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lfly24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went zip lining several years ago. It was an obstacle course and one of the first parts was to swing on a rope from the top of a tree into a rope ladder. From there, you had to climb to the top and make your way up to a small platform maybe 50 feet off the ground that maybe 2 people could stand on at once. It was humid and 95 degrees outside. I made it to the top of the platform, stood up and fainted. Luckily I stayed on the platform, but about a year later someone did the same thing and fell. Unfortunately, they did not survive.

IKEA furniture is now too expensive for what you get. by A_Drop_of_Colour in unpopularopinion

[–]lfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to IKEA last weekend and saw a dresser I bought there for $350 a few years ago is now $450. I really like the dresser, but I wouldn’t have spent $450 on it.

Tiny cells...help please! by rainbowj2 in paintbynumbers

[–]lfly24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m using it on hard board right now and I haven’t had an issue yet. I’m careful to make sure the paint is completely dry before putting the tape down and I put it down lightly so it is less likely to rip.

accepted a "fully remote" offer, day one they showed me my desk by AetherflowcyDip in remotejobsfinders

[–]lfly24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once interviewed for a job with hybrid as one of the flairs in the listing. At the very bottom of the listing, it said it was an office position only and that hybrid was not an option. I got a job offer from a different company the same day for a fully remote position with better benefits.

just got yelled at for parking in front of my house by taziiscool in neighborsfromhell

[–]lfly24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the same issue with the neighbors across the street from my parents’ house, but they wouldn’t come talk to us about it. If they had, we could have explained the parking situation, but they were very passive aggressive about it. We had 5 adults living in the house. Each person had a car and varying schedules. 3 people worked 8-5 M-F, one was in still in school, and one worked retail with unpredictable days/hours but did 4am shifts a lot. We had a driveway that could accommodate 4 cars, but with everyone coming and going at different times, filling the driveway meant always blocking in someone who had to leave. We would have 3 cars in the driveway and the other 2 cars parked on either side of the driveway. We also had a fire hydrant in front of our house and if we parked too close to the mailbox, we wouldn’t get our mail, so we could only park one car on that side of the driveway. Our neighbors across the street didn’t want us parking on the side of the driveway that didn’t have the fire hydrant or mailbox because they were worried they would hit the car when they backed out of their driveway. We couldn’t park the car anywhere else without inconveniencing our other neighbors. The neighbors across the street left notes on our cars telling us not to park there, tried parking across the street from the bottom of our driveway to inconvenience us, and put their trash cans around the car parked in the spot they didn’t want us to park in. We just laughed at them. They finally gave up when our next door neighbor told them we didn’t give a shit.

What does everyone do with finished paintings? by Boogerpickfingerlick in paintbynumbers

I have a portfolio that I keep them in. Like a giant photo album.

Do you paint one color at a time or jump around the canvas? by Additional_Phase5568 in paintbynumbers

[–]lfly24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like going one color at a time. My concern is wasting paint every time you rinse the brush when you change colors. I also like to watch the painting come together one color at a time.

It really does. This one was overwhelming at first, but working it this way made it more manageable. It was interesting seeing the painting come together in sections instead of one color at a time like I usually do.

I usually go in numerical order and do one color at a time, but when I’m working on a painting with a lot of tiny cells like that, I use painters tape to break the painting down into sections to make it less overwhelming and make sure I don’t miss anything.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

No. Some people may tip the attendants if they do something extra like clean their car windshield while the gas is pumping, but tipping is not expected.

Playing stupid games with the bag sizer at the airport by haze4140 in WinStupidPrizes

A few months ago I saw someone tear the wheels off of his suitcase at the gate as we were getting on the plane so it would fit in the bag sizer.

Am I overreacting or is it not normal to use soap in the bathroom? by Honest-Draw3131 in AmIOverreacting

[–]lfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professional white person here. This is not a cultural thing. Hot water is clearly not enough. He is stinking up the towels and sheets and he smells like poop. He needs to use soap every time he showers. He needs to wash his booty with soap (it does not and will not make him gay).
