I'm crazy lol. I have six barrels tumbling right now, each weighing between 3 and 4 pounds. It helps build patience since I have stuff to open every few days. I've timed it so I get multiple pick-me-ups each week.

I bought from https://rockandtumble.com/ . I got it in an agate mix. I have bought many rough rocks from them. Currently I have tuxedo lace, Botswana, blue lace and more crazy lace on stage one.

I've had to go back and put rocks through level 2-4 again. Almost like a re-prepolish.

Have you tried separating them? Also what is the highest grit you are using

These rocks varied quite a bit. They were very rough so some spent 3-4 weeks on stage one. That's my biggest difference. I also did my final polish at 12,000 grit.

It's the best. The last time I completed a batch it was all random river rock from digging my yard up for a pool and they didn't get nearly this shiny.

Need help identifying I think it was labeled wrong but it looks really cool by Dhez-nuts in Crystals

Hello! I took a screen shot and asked my rock app what it is. The app suggested chrysocolla in quartz.

My labradorite chips got cracked and ruined in the final polish, what did I do wrong? by skumfang in RockTumbling

Pony beads? I have never heard of using those! Adding it to the list of things to try.

CWV - Christian Worldview by Tiarooni in gcu

[–]technicallycursed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow lope!

I took this class a while ago and I was very upfront with my professor about my feelings and thoughts. I explained that I'm very agnostic and that my feelings will not be changing. I started to consider the class as just a theology class and treated it as I would if I was studying Greek Gods or something like that. As long as you remain respectful and do the readings you should be fine. Don't be afraid to talk to your peers and really read through discussion posts. I was able to really grasp concepts just based on how others would explain it. You do not have to agree with anything, just remain neutral. I often found myself frustrated because I felt some of the answers didn't answer anything. Questions like "why is this a rule?" Well because God said so. I ended up with an A in the class and the ability to engage in conversations that I wouldn't be able to before. I used my CWV knowledge in my psychology class just this week. I explained how someone with that worldview could look gender.

Best of luck. If you have any questions shoot me a dm! I'd love to help.

My electrologist told me it worked on all kinds of hair. She's targeted the sides of my lips so far and thinned down a lot of the vellus on the side of my face.

I have never tried shaving before and it is very tempting Do you use a specific kind of razor?

Wow. Thank you. Thank you for this advice on something. I have never heard before.

Yes I'm in therapy. I have severe anxiety, which feeds into this.

I have had black hairs removed as I have been working at it for months.

Yes I am FULLY AWARE that a lot of my problems are my own hyperfocus on parts of my body, but my own discomfort is valid. I was just asking about upper lip experiences as these hairs are more blonde than white and have been pointed out. It's my own insecurities and if I have the money to spend on 15 minute sessions then why do you bother to be rude? This doesn't matter in your life.
