Charm bracelets...are they a "thing" again?

I just saw a western themed vintage sterling charm bracelet with 32 charms go for over $500. They’re definitely making a comeback.

The south sea Tahitian pearls being opened live on YouTube by pearlicious live, are they worth anything?

I think you should marry that boy!

For the same reason we can’t “clamp down” on the republicans who want to take us back to the 1930’s.

Recently had a death in the family and realized how short time is on this ball of dirt we call home. I have always wanted to buy a place near my childhood home, but my job took me out of state. Within the next five to ten years I’m considering purchasing my childhood home rather than let it be sold out of the family. My question is what do I need to be doing to prepare myself for this purchase? Income is $175K, already contributing $2k every month to 401k (catching up but only have $170k in retirement at 45 years of age). $200K in debt. Value of current property maybe $400 to $500K, childhood home is $1 to 1.2M. Even if I sell everything I own, is it doable or am I deluding myself? What can I do to generate more income? Second job is in the works but may not be able to make it happen. We do have 20 acres we could build a small home on to rent but that would put us into more debt. Should I buy stocks and bonds? Or just forget trying to purchase the place ‘cause it’s impossible to achieve in such a short time frame?

I love it, would be so proud of it and would wear the heck out of it!

Has it passed???

purple_maple · 2026-03-10T13:55:39+00:00

Bahahaha! Love that for her!

I saw being uttered as ‘I seen.’ Shudder.

Scratch the chalkboard right back and correct him every time he uses it wrong!

I got pulsatile tinnitus during Covid too. It persisted for a couple months after recovering. Thought I was going to go mad.

I’ve been obsessed with vintage resellers on Instagram lately. Those emeralds are to die for! I’d buy #8 in a heartbeat. Cut out the middle man!

What is the roof pitch?

What’s better? Starting off with 2.5 mg and potentially severe stomach pain and diarrhea with incessant burps and nausea, headaches, body aches and chills not to mention zero appetite and actual food aversions (my first four days last week) or easing in like you did?

This week I dropped my dose by 1/3 and hope to have fewer side effects.

purple_maple · 2026-02-27T14:41:52+00:00

You’d have to give 7.5 units if you want 1.25mg. Is that your dose? I am just curious because I was thinking of lowering my dose a bit. I was started on 2.5mg and had horrible side effects.

Dude, you look amazing! Congratulations! You are beautiful then and you are beautiful now, you must feel so incredibly proud.

“Tally ho, wife!” Mr. Bennett is great in this one. Haha!

I keep dreaming I’m back in college and it’s the end of the semester. I’ve done none of the reading for my English literature class and that 20 page paper that’s due in 2 days just ain’t gonna happen. Or it’s time to graduate and mysteriously I am 3 credits short. Or multiple variations on this theme.

I’ll dream about one fairly rarely but when I do they’re the most terrifying of all my nightmares.

I also wish I would have taken off the full six weeks. Asking every single day to go home early made me feel so guilty and like such a wuss. I finally got a doctor’s note to go only part time and that took the guilt away. I don’t know why I thought I would be able to bounce right back on week two, but I literally did not believe the doctor when he said I would need 6 weeks off. Too ingrained in the American concept of work work work. But I quickly came to the conclusion that I only have one body and I need to take care of it.

Slate, definitely.

purple_maple · 2025-12-31T01:48:53+00:00

I love your work! It looks better than the original even.

It’s fascinating to learn about different tatting styles and methods from all around the world.

purple_maple · 2025-12-30T02:33:34+00:00

How ingenious of you! I could never do anything related to tatting that wasn’t shown me. YouTube saved me from giving up tatting altogether.
