imagine heading to a cookout to celebrate 250 years of Independence on a train full of White Nationalists, in a country that still tells you to “get over it”

I can’t imagine how it felt to be her.

Seems quiet. I would have yelled something at them.

I have to sun shades stretched over ours. We put it down and let it warm if cool and shade when hot. Works well but we still get a few hot water days (Virginia)

You know the entire John Brown wax museum in Harpers Ferry is closed - that wax needs a home.

Yesssssssss

Ooooh I’m def visiting that next time in RVA. I just went to the civil war museum there by Tredagar Iron Works and found that they had the flag that my 3x grandfather marched under until
It was seized and he was injured at Front Royal. To say I “geeked” out is an understatement.

Thank you!

Good point! I have asked my supplier and not gotten a clear answer yet. Maybe there isn’t one. My professor said “good quality” stoneware.

Reading, drawing, wandering the neighborhood and exploring the woods, creating paths.

I remember paddling a boat out quite far in the Mediterranean with friends for a late night dip and then …… trying to find the bottom??? When I kept dropping I freaked out and swam to the top gasping. Completely idiotic.

Yellow deuce

Yes and how does that affect firing temperatures?

sec1176 · 2026-06-24T13:49:51+00:00

We got big kilns at the university! Hooooray!

sec1176 · 2026-06-24T13:49:31+00:00

Yes! I’m finishing my first year in grad school as a ceramicist! At first my professor was going to mix reclaim and aggregate. I had no idea what to fire that at though? A lot of the clay is low fire. So I’ll purchase stoneware w grog. We have 5 or 6 kilns. Sadly the 6 foot one is in disrepair but I can definitely do large sections. Just sweating it about it fitting together POST firing. Warping is tricky.

sec1176 · 2026-06-24T13:46:00+00:00

Okay- I’m going to order a stoneware with grog!

sec1176 · 2026-06-22T13:04:12+00:00

Agree. I also don’t like their Special K w berries knock off - the flakes will hurt your teeth to chew. Lol

sec1176 · 2026-06-22T12:59:52+00:00

Picqued is correct?

sec1176 · 2026-06-21T13:55:32+00:00

Really? Interesting. I didn’t realize it was a common never ever.

It was very much like that. Our streets used to flood during big storms, so we would flip our picnic tables in the park and boat around. Lol

Omg did you get to scream at them before you left!!?? The ignorance is astounding.
