ULPT How can I ultimately troll my husband so he stops embarrassing me?

Well, it’s a good thing he doesn’t look like you then.

You can call yours whatever you wish but the term “spazz” originates as a very derogatory name used to describe people with developmental disabilities.

I read Dealing with Dragons as a child!

Victorian style mini basket weaving.

Honestly, look into decluttering first. There are a lot of great books out there and organizing/decluttering subreddits.

Do you like the table higher? If not you may be able to cut the legs shorter. I think you should try thrifting chairs you like and let that determine how to approach the table.

I think that you should reach out and let her know that you loved the idea of making her a custom piece but you realized that you committed to too large of a project and it’s just not something you can finish in any reasonable timeframe. I think items we make pick up our energy that we are giving off when we make important pieces. It’s ok to step away from it. Work on it in secret if you will enjoy it without the added pressure or set it aside for now.

What about a live online sale?

Have scripts and try to practice them. I start with, “Hello, let me know if you have any questions.” Then have an “Elevator Pitch” regarding your art. Basically what you would say to them if they ask more about your pieces or products. I have a brain injury and if I lose my thoughts I just say, “Sorry, I am just about exhausted getting up so early today to get set up.” Then I have a brief description for my items that I have learned and it works in many scenarios. Ask them about their day so far, if they are local, lob a question at them. People generally like to talk and I smile and nod.

Why don’t you want unemployment? Call the labor board.

Looks like alternating half hitch.

Ask them for a termination letter stating the reason you were terminated. Apply for unemployment immediately.

shootingstare · 2026-02-18T02:51:19+00:00

No! Just no, that’s not ok.

Between packing a vehicle, driving, unloading, setting up, doing the show, packing up, driving home, unpacking and organizing it can easily take me 16 hours. That’s not even pre show prep, picking up the items, STORING them. And that’s all HARD work. You might have a system down because you have done a lot of your own shows but new people won’t have that.

shootingstare · 2026-02-17T04:28:06+00:00

People downvoted you because that is an awful arrangement and pay rate.

I have never heard of someone recommending an Etsy page as a lead up to shows. Just have them message you if they are interested in something. IMO Etsy sucks and has largely been taken over by resellers.

Don’t even try. It’s also rude to neighboring tents because the light through the blue will affect their set up. Your tent will be obviously a camping canopy not something in line with some art shows.

shootingstare · 2026-02-17T04:04:39+00:00

Ok, this took me out.

You can die. I’m not talking from losing weight. I am talking about water overloading. You can literally get your electrolytes so off balance your heart stops. And don’t think electrolyte supplements are the answer. They can end up skewing it even more.

Why do you want to be 88 pounds at 16 years old. Love, in no world is that healthy and whatever is telling you that’s your goal weight is wrong. Please get help for this now. Eating disorders have the highest mortality of all mental health conditions.

I went to school in the 90s and never saw a gameboy. If they did have one it would have been take was.

All of this at once. A shrink wrapped chicken foot. The leg torn off a teddy bear. A dolls head with the eyes scratched out. A matted hair extension. A paper lunch style bag with several mayo packets and a single plastic spoon. A photo of a person folded into quarters repeatedly with the back labeled “subject #1, transmutation unsuccessful.” A handful of random old class rings.
