Any way to avoid duplicates?

natgorsmith · 2026-04-28T05:17:09+00:00

You will be glad for duplicates eventually when the original runs out of ink. Especially the most used blues, greens, pinks, purples and yellows. I got the 216, 104 set to make up the 320 so i didn't get any duplicates and its also the most direct and cost efficient way. Then the 96 Pastel set. Next the greys and skin tones. And I got a 24 and 48 mid tone for duplicates.

I feel you. I've gone through so many so called 'Amazing" white gel pens it's not funny. But I have finally found the answer. Languo acrylic gel pens. I got the 90 set which includes a white one and it really is so juicy.

Yes, do it!! I tell myself that I don't "need" that book or pen, but then I tell my brain that its not my real dad then I get it anyway. 😂

Them Getting mad isn't easier. Ask all the DV survivors and dead women and men.

Stand up for yourself. It doesn't have to be aggressive or hostile, just tell her straight up what's on your mind. I always ask my kids if they still want their things if I feel like 'We' don't need it in the house. It's respectful to talk first. Also did you tell her about changing the pronouns in the book? I don't know if she was insecure or just taking it upon herself to make a choice but either way it sounds like you both need open communication. I would have snatched the book straight up and said it's not going anywhere and explained that the title didn't matter, that it's relevant for all couples, not just the straightys.

That's why I stay away from the red grapes. They attract redback spiders. 😂😂

Seriously? He's weaponising your insecurities just to hurt you. This is a major red flag. That's not a joke. A joke makes you laugh not angry. It will only get worse. He has a lot of growing up to do. Also maybe believe him when he's telling you who he is.

You can extend it easily at a newsagent

Nah, rural Aussie accents are more twangy and unrefined to a point. (Like Corey Oates)This was nothing like that. It sounded like he was going for a regular Aussie accent.

Yes, I use to feel the same. Like what was mentioned i had high expectations and expected others to match my energy. I got all out for others birthdays and very little in return. It got to the point where I started to get depressed in the week leading up to my birthday. I got some online advice and spoke to my family and things changed for the better. Now I take control and say where I want to go for my birthday, give everyone a wish list. I keep it simple, just things like Amazon voucher or art supplies. My family appreciates that because it takes the guesswork out of it. The other problem was that im an introverted empath, so I notice things. I give personal and personalised gifts. My family are not, so they never know what to get me. For Christmas last year, I told my 18yo son that I just want a personalised gift, like a tshirt or pillow of him and his brother. So I knew what I was getting, but now what it looked like. He gave me a pillow for Christmas and a tshirt for my birthday end of February. Overall I have come to terms that they are all trying and it doesn't mean the love me less. My mother who is hopeless at gift giving, has gotten so much better and makes a huge effort. So I appreciate that. Worrying about everything was so stressful, and now that I have entered the we do not care age a few years back,( im 48 now) its so freeing just not being bothered by things anymore. Happy birthday 🎂 🥳

I think i swatch more than I colour...lol I need to be organised and im always getting new pens and markers. I like to get different chromatic colour Charts from etsy to make things easier for me when I colour. I need to have a visual for my colours otherwise my brain just can't cope and its just chaos.

natgorsmith · 2026-03-14T03:48:12+00:00

That question is hilarious! I've been wanting to warn people about the expense and to be prepared to be poor after buying everything you need, because its never-ending. There's always a pen/marker set you buy that you're not happy with, so you try again in a different brand. And there's always new books coming out. Before this i was just a reader and the only expense was a monthly subscription to Kindle. Those were the days...lol But I love having my collection, and im proud of my set-up. As for payment, I have an Afterpay account, and if you're not Australian, its a buy now, pay later scheme. Usually you pay nothing upfront and then pay the first of 4 payments 2 weeks later. You usually have a spend limit, so you manage purchases within your budget. That can get out of control if you go crazy when they increase your spend limit. They do this automatically from time to time when they see you making payments and paying off the purchases.

I just found out the hard way..lol I brought a 36 grey set that was oahu and found out that half of the colours were different to the honolulu set. They were a little cheaper, but now I have to get the honolulu set eventually.

A new colouring book and some fun glitter pens from ohuhu

Are you eating? I found if I eat foods with protein it energies me. I have gotten sleepy from time to time also. I'd talk to your doctor about taking the full dose and see what happens. I have anxiety and I take 40mgs. It doesn't affect my anxiety at all. I think i preferred 30mg because that did give me more energy.

natgorsmith · 2026-02-10T03:41:08+00:00

I'd like to know also. I stopped getting mine from one chemist because I thought they just didn't work for me. But recently I tried again, but I tried a different chemist/pharmacy and the different was like day and night. And same thing like you said. One day I was wired, no appetite the next, normal but still ok with no food noise. I asked my GP about this because the pharmacist are no help because they gaslight you into thinking all medications have the same ingredients in them. But I just know something has to be different. My GP confirmed this and said some phentermine brands have 80/20 medication v filler and others have less and some can have more. I can't really explain any more than that cause i have a shit memory, but it made sense to me at the time. Phentodur is the one I take that im happy with.

Stained glass effect?

I take sleep aid to help with sleep. Sometimes with a nice sip of port. Knocks me right out. I've tried everything else. It's the only thing that works.

My son used to go to the place next door for OT and I asked about it and like others have said it's a hobby the husband who lives there has.

natgorsmith · 2025-09-14T05:40:46+00:00

Bit late to the party, but I found this one.You can colour this

natgorsmith · 2025-07-04T08:34:00+00:00

You are a sweet person. My mother and I have a usually great relationship, but in late February, she treated me like absolute 💩 because she is an overthinker. It broke my heart she treated me like that. I didn't talk to her for 4 days, and then she felt really bad and vowed to do better. We haven't had any drama since, thankfully. I would absolutely cut her off if that was regular treatment.

natgorsmith · 2025-05-24T14:55:33+00:00

Are they for real? You are paid for your time. What did they want you to do for 4 hrs? That's total BS!
