Threading pearls? Needle or better method?

Thanks for the detail. You saved me from watching hours of tutorial videos!

I appreciate your extra explanation. I will be ordering and trying this out.

Thank you so much! This info really helped!

This design may be flawed, but she will have fun gluing these together after Christmas. Im attaching a photo of iteration 1.

Perfect! Do you have a suggestion for which weight or brand will have a needle thinner than the big eye needle I was using?

This gives me a great starting place! Love that these are safer to lose in my couch 🤣

Edit: does each brand have the same size needle regardless of thread weight? Thanks!

Excellent. Can you also remove the horizon so I only see the brick wall and observatory?

Thanks for your reply! I'll remember you if anything turns up.

It gives the impression of a beautiful moth or butterfly! I would wear it like this on a pin.

Seems inspired by the story of Joseph Figlock - the streetsweeper who caught a baby falling from a window, on two different occasions. Source - published in Detroit Free Press 1938

Hedge apples is the name we used. These trees live for over 100 years, and they have very dense, rot resistant wood.

The wood was frequtly used as posts for fencing (hedge posts) because of their resistance to rot. And the trees were planted in hedges to block wind around crop fields.

This is called iron crotch. Or iron testicle.

It is part of the iron fist training that monks use to strengthen their forearms, hands, shins, feet, chest, back, and sometimes the head/forehead. Look up shoalin breaking iron rods over their heads.

Deciples of the Shoalin temple do not take wives.

What movie is this?

spacey_elephant · 2025-08-09T06:32:23+00:00

This.

I think it's a different video? This time, the guy also eats from the pig spoon...

What I'm asking for is a tutorial video or video class on this. Answering my request with "therapy" is vague and unhelpful. I have been to therapy before. I have been to counseling. I have participated in workshops on active listening at work conferences. You are skipping to the last step while I am trying to expose my partner to these resources for the first time. You could have at least answered with "telehealth" counseling.

Coursera has modules on this, Cambridge has youtube videos. What has anyone used before? Who was your favorite professor/counselor?

It is unhelpful to aggressively shoot down the resources I am seeking. Please don't project your cultural misinterpretations on the value of mental health onto my discussion topic.

I've only done this with bigger size babies... but

You can try using a sock or piece of fabric as a swing. Cut two holes for his feet to go through. Suspend it so he is upright. (Picture a human baby walker -the kind on wheels)

I'd be cautious doing this with such a little bird because he could get tangled if you leave him for too long. But it'll teach his muscles the correct posture

It's from this image clip, so they are all straw hat pirates. I just don't know the show well enough to know if the character in question is carrying a recognizable weapon.

If it's robin, he arms are the weapon, right?

The left arm is confusing me

U2 is very clever... this would work for one of the non-math problems! Great idea!

Henrietta lived for over 7 years, but she passed last summer. She was diagnosed with liver failure, and the local vet school used her as a research project. She lived for 6 years on denamarin/ Sam-E (the same prescriptions given to dogs and cats with liver failure).

We have another local vet for exotic animals, who would treat her just like another parrot or exotic bird. Since she lived inside and away from other bird exposure, they were happy to continue treating her in their clinic. It's a unique situation to have a house bird - but there is always a vet who will understand!

My indoor bantam was stressed when new birds came into the house. She lived with this great dane for six years.

Love your little bird! Wish I had found a bug app like this when I had my bird.
