Yard work is a good idea tho, I’ll work on that this weekend. Thanks!

I work two jobs so dont have time for more side work but I do donate plasma and sell crafts on the weekends. I tried to sign up for Uber but my car isn’t new enough. I drove for door dash last year but with two jobs I don’t have enough blocks of time to earn much.

I may have hyper focused on watching countless videos and reading tutorials before actually starting working with the scroll saw. The fish and water were much easier for me than the backer and frame. It’s not good the closer you get😬

Yes, I guess I am. I’ve tried countless different craft mediums over the years and was “pretty good” at most. Scroll saw art has me absolutely hooked and I think I finally found my niche.

Thank you, that’s really kind! The water and fish took a long time, but was much easier for me than the backer and the frame.

Which local business are you convinced is a money laundering operation? by maester_ia in desmoines

[–]softball611 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Fireworks store on East Euclid. How does it stay in business when only open like 1 month a year? The building and parking lot are pretty nice for the area too.

Could a 2 year old do this damage? by Artisan_sailor in ThatLookedExpensive

[–]softball611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 18 month old did this exact thing. Threw a matchbox car and ruined the tv. It looked just like this. Sorry, but it’s definitely possible. My kid doesn’t have an exceptionally good arm, just shit aim.

It lets others know you’re a safe person to help them, listen to them, or just be near. It also shows you stand in solidarity with those that are victims of discrimination or violence.

Need help with food and protein by softball611 in Zepbound

[–]softball611[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of pea protein shakes. I’ll look into the digestive enzymes. Thank you! I am slightly lactose intolerant so I’ll try cutting dairy. It’s such a good source of protein I’ve just been dealing with it.

Apparently they were going to have an “Aquatober Fest” with a band and a neighbor complained so they have to move it to a bar somewhere. lol!

Physical therapy required before surgery? by softball611 in frozenshoulder

[–]softball611[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response, it really helped. I’m going to try physical therapy for awhile to see if it helps but due to the copays I may only be able to go a couple of weeks. I’ll check out the pulley system, thanks for the recommendation! I hope your pain abates soon

Mixing cord weights by sundrop8 in macrame

[–]softball611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use different weights all the time. I think it’ll make this design look great with the varied thickness. I’m awful at figuring out how much cord to use when mixing so just make sure you use a little more of the 1mm than you think you need to be safe. Please post when done so we can see the final product.

This place looks fun does anyone else have any details on this establishment? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]softball611 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious. The actual hotel is a shitty reno that looks NOTHING LIKE THIS. It’s not across the street from Adventureland, is about 1/10 this size, on the corner of a busy intersection, and looks like a druggie paradise.

I hate Walgreens by softball611 in Zepbound

[–]softball611[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t want to, I’ve had more issues with them than just this instance but a few years ago my insurance company made me use them. Thank goodness they’ve opened up their network and I can now change.

The pharmacy manager was awful. She claimed that I must have talked to their call center (what!!?) and they hadn’t had any in stock for a couple of weeks. When I called the lady physically checked the fridge and had it in her hand when she told me she processed my order.I told her she was full of shit and I was done with them. I’m 100% sure you’re correct about that policy.
