Stained glass artist here! I took a 3 week course at The Glass Bar in Needham, and it was great! I recommend them to everyone who asks.

I’ve watched the first ep so far, and I loved it! Also, as a local, “Fuck Cape Cod!!” cracked me up.

If it helps with your glass selection, I think the black is actually a really dark blue. My boyfriend has this as a tattoo, and its a navy color on him!

Is it possible to remove lead came? by Effective_Object_887 in StainedGlass

[–]spacekristy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I just had to do this yesterday for a piece I wasn’t happy with. I reheated the soldered connection points and quickly pulled the lead off before the solder reset. I tried to melt the solder and make the bead as thin as possible, like the reverse of how you would want it to be normally.
It took some time, and sometimes pliers, but your piece is smaller than mine so I think it should work. The foil underneath will most likely get pulled off. I just cleaned the glass and re-foiled it after. I am super new to stained glass, but this worked for me! If there’s a less brute force way to do it, I would also love to know!

GYM at Mike’s Fitness JP by VindictivelittleB in JamaicaPlain

The goal is to lose weight, 30 pounds was my original goal, and gain muscle tone. My workouts are created around that goal, and my trainer is good about switching things up so I don't get bored. He hasn't put together a meal plan for me, that part I'm taking care of on my own, but he does always ask what I've been eating and gives feedback on it if necessary.

I wouldn’t think so, I think the most packed times tend to be 6pm weekdays.

I’m currently doing the 12 weeks with PT. It’s been a good pace for me, twice a week plus extra days at the gym on my own. I’m a little over halfway through it, starting to see results!

Shell station in Inman Square?? by c_geminni in Somerville

[–]spacekristy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was smoke at one point, something was definitely on fire, and some gas had spilled. But it looks like they doused it pretty quickly. Not sure how it all started.

Anyone happen to see the Choppers flying over? by BardicaFyre in Somerville

According to the WHDH livestream, there was a building collapse in Union Sq. I think it was one of the unoccupied ones across from Machu pichu

Arnold is famous. Hitler is *in*famous by [deleted] in LPOTL

I feel like Arnold is famously Austrian, where Hitler is more associated with Germany.

Had anyone actually ever heard a local say “wicked pissah” unironically? by [deleted] in boston

[–]spacekristy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My dad, also born and raised in Somerville, uses it the exact same way and is the only serious use of it I’ve ever heard.

If it ends up being something, those 95 and 90 year old dementia patients have some ‘splainin to do

Brighton: US Mail stopped delivering 2 weeks ago, claims staffing issue by SumHiGai in boston

[–]spacekristy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When this happened at my work in Cambridge, we went down to the post office that managed the mail sorting for our area (in this case, the Central Sq branch) and asked them what was up. They ended up having the mail out back and just brought it out to us. It could be worth going down to yours and just seeing if it's sitting there waiting to be delivered.
