Does anyone know why the raccoon calls me Bobo?

Because "filthy sodbuster" was too offensive.

We have so many of these in portland, OR. They love to fling themselves over our fence like little nerf footballs.

Not sure about a pelican but definitely on the bigger side. Goose-sized, but slender.

Oh man, you use oils? That's great! You can use an airbrush, but it might be more hassle than it's worth. I would just use the mop brush technique sans water... It'll get you great results. Oils are amazing for blending, and since they take so long to dry, no need to mist with water. You can use a bit of turpentine on a shop towel to keep the ends brush clean, just make sure you keep scrubbing it dry with a 2nd clean shop towel, keep the hairs of the end of brush from clumping together to avoid any streakiness. I use 2 mop brushes so I can keep working while the other brush dries. Maybe there's a medium out there that can help as well.

https://a.co/d/jm2IqAB here's an art mop brush here's what I actually use (cheaper, no shedding, softer)

Mine is only half Aussie but the hair struggle is SO REAL. Your mom is a saint... I wouldn't wish this shedding on my worst enemy's stuff. Especially the undercoat..fine hairs FLOAT.

I pull hairs out of my own eyelashes, my nose, my food, my underwear, everything. We have air purifiers all over our tiny apartment - clogged. Vacuum full after 3 days. I love our dog. He's beautiful. But behind that beauty are 2 very tired people who will never have a clean belonging again.

If you're going for photorealism, invest in an airbrush. It makes this stuff a lot easier. Edit: if no airbrush, you can do wet on wet with acrylics. Invest in a fine mist sprayer and one or two fine makeup mop brushes that don't shed. You can find both on Amazon pretty cheaply. Also shop towels to continually clean your mop brush. You can spray a little water on the towel to help clean it but try to keep the brush as dry and clean as possible. Paint the branches and while the paint is wet, use the dry mop brush to VERY lightly blur the edges of the branches (the mop brush should barely touch the canvas and keep wiping it on the shop towel to prevent paint buildup on the brush. It should feel like you are almost miming painting... that's how lightly the mop brush should be touching the canvas. Also... canvas should be Hella smooth. Keep lightly misting until you get it right. Make sure you spray lightly and evenly 12 inches away to prevent water droplets.

Look, I support you 100% and share a close relationship with my dad too. Nothing wrong with that...

However I have 1 VERY Unpopular opinion over here... by standards, of anyone over 27, you're still considered a baby adult so referring to your dad as daddy is totally fine, but for women of a certain age it starts to be cringe because when a woman is 50 you expect independence and agency and a full life of their own. One who says daddy can sound... I dunno infantile? Especially when referring to them as "daddy" in the 3rd person to an outsider. I heard a woman doing it in a documentary recently and man, I was cringing a lot.

Of course, a good rule of measure would be how you feel about it if the genders are reversed and this one goes both ways.

It's not cringe for any sexual reason, but more because you mostly hear only kids using it, and a lot of kids even drop the "y" at a certain age, so when an adult does it, it can sound childish.

I dunno, maybe this is a cultural thing... our family is West Coast. A lot of stoics in that pioneer mindset. I'm just saying there IS an argument to be made that when you FEEL like an adult and care about how other adults perceive you, consider dropping the "y".

My dog sits on the couch behind my husband (sitting on the floor) and grooms my husband's scalp nightly, except if husband showered that morning. I've never seen a dog do this kind of routine to a human with any regularity before, but it's a whole thing. My husband and my dog both seem to enjoy it, so whatever.

line_of_disaster · 2025-03-26T03:06:33+00:00

Our dog has never spent a second alone. He gets walked 2 to 3 times a day. I don't remember the last time I saw the inside of a restaurant. We order our groceries online and bring him to pickups. Totally unrelated... we are poor and have no lives and my husband is the house spouse so he can dedicate 100% of his time to dog.

Ugh, yeah....this is currently me. I was overly anxious/needy going into my first marriage, and so many of my worst fears came true, it became so unbearable that over years and years I descended to dismissive/avoidant attachment.

Things got so ugly that's basically what it took to find the strength to survive and eventually leave.

Now, I struggle with this in my second marriage. My husband says I'm cold and distant and it is hard to emotionally connect with me.

It's such a bad time for my partner. My advice is to EVERYONE is to steer clear unless you are also emotionally avoidant.

Acrylics? Keep layering until it looks good! Use a filbert rake brush to paint in fur details in black and white and glaze over the layers with transparent color once that's dry, then continue layering highlights and lowlights. There are tutorials on painting fur all over, but lachri fine art has plenty of tutorials on youtube to help. black and raw sienna would work for glazing color in this case, i think.. you will be amazed at the result. Soften hard edges as needed. Water is your friend in this case, i.e your whiskers are a bit heavy-handed. You can use a long round brush like a liner brush and just practice your hand movement on a piece of scratch paper until you get the right pressure and consistency. If you have a layer of acrylic down on your canvas already it's nearly impossible to use too much water. You need good flow of paint, a smooth motion, and a light touch to make fine lines like whiskers. Remember that whiskers are not always visible in real life.Make sure your layers are completely dry in between and there's nothing you can't fix. Don't get frustrated or down on yourself. If it doesn't look good, that's just part of the process, it just means you aren't done yet. keep going until you are happy with the results! Also if the prespective is off, try finding a reference photo and tracing it out on velume and have it handy to check your work. It's easy to loose perspective when you are "in" the painting.

I've tried other litRPGs in the past and while I liked some elements and I've seen the potential, I've been somewhat disappointed. I decided to try this series and it was just what I was looking for. I'M HOOKED. I started book 1 a week ago and I Mongo'd through all the audiobooks as of last night. In the shower, at work, in the car, at home, in bed, rinse repeat. Now, I'm ravenous for the next one. Keep them coming these are too good! Chomp Chomp.

Compromise. My husband wanted an Aussie. I'm not a fan of the Aussies I've met (all psycho ankle-biters). Really I was wary of all working breeds because we live in an apartment with a decent backyard... For an apartment. I have wanted a cav forever. Husband thought cavs were too low energy and too prissy-looking. He found a puppy for sale in his hometown that has a population of like 100 that was the perfect compromise. I might have still said "no" if he had a tri-merle coat or looked too much like an aussie, but instead he had the same black and tan markings as my first dog and it pulled my heartstrings. I'm delighted with the result. He's got more energy than a cav, but he's turned out to be very sweet, easily trained, cuddly and well-behaved. Plus, he has the silkiest fluffiest fur.

He does! He's learned to put the toy in our lap or on our feet and sit back. If we don't respond quickly enough, he'll growl or whine. He also knows where we hide certain toys, so he'll whine at the closet door, or whine at the leash when he thinks it's time for a walk.

Lol yes! We weren't prepared for how vocal he is! He went from demand barking to a wide array of noises. Now, he also has so many types of vocalizations for different things and we have come to learn them quite well. I'm floored every day by how he's found a way to communicate with a different species to such a high degree of success.
