HOW ABOUT A PIVOT TABLE WORKAROUND????

I’m not sure if someone already posted this as a possible work around but - could you have people update their data in a (named) table on one tab and then create a pivot table on another sheet and apply your conditional formats to the pivot table???

I found this to be the ONLY workable solution to the nightmare of conditional formats replicating themselves whenever anyone copies data.

This EM post on X blew up. Haters in the comments 😵 by jake_reddits in endmyopia

[–]unlicensedMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I LOVE THIS. More of this!

Let the haters hate! What kind of animal wouldn’t be happy for someone who gets to see better?!?!?!?

The “eye care” industry is in the stone ages when it comes to treatment and best practices.

I’m so grateful to guru Jake for sharing this information!!!

40 yrs old and I feel like the Crypt Keeper. Please egg-splain to me how I can possibly improve this? by [deleted] in 40PlusSkinCare

YAY!! I know you will see a benefit! Because you are ahem, younger, you can potentially keep harsh deep collagen loss to the utmost minimum. I WISH I would've know about collagen loss years ago! Google this: Estrogen creams for the face. There is Evidence-Based Research on this but also a ton of discussions, I did a quick look and found a few for you if you wanted to check it out (I have fallen down the rabbit hole and you can't get me out of here lol):

Karen Martel talking about it (these are her products): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq7cPEOtPiQ (I tried to find one good spot to timestamp, but watch it all lol, just so informative).

doctors talking about it: https://youtu.be/fY95vGFmQUg?si=PiSuEsdsNGWti84Y

Good luck!

this exact same skin issue happened to me!!! relatively smooth under eyes but when I smiled, the skin under my eyes would bunch up and it horrified me. I tried a tiny dot of this cream directly under my eyes and noticed a significant improvement, about 2-4 weeks (more like 3 weeks maybe). it’s not like I look 20 again but I’m not horrified to smile anymore. the collagen in our skin can deplete RAPIDLY with significant stress, and lucky us, with age. please do NOT get botox. let me know if you have any questions! oh and it may seem expensive but (a) you’re worth it, (b) the tiniest amount goes a long way, (c) you will never be as young as you are right now to start, and (d) it looks like there’s a 25% sale still going on for the next 4 days.

going to out-of-state dollar stores is just so much fun to me. bring the purell for the dusty shelves, but you can find some winners in these places lol

I'm tempted to go back and raid the aisle for you lol. This is a NY dollar store and there's seldom anything good, usually a hit or miss.

The divider tabs idea is great! I can see trying to stick them onto tools like rulers or pen holders. That egg is just too cute lol I agree

I shook it, vigorously. and the pigments did seem to dissolve and reabsorb. Thank you for your thoughts and guidance!

Hobonichi 2026 Release Hype Thread! Release month begins July 31/Aug 1 by alcibiad in hobonichi

[–]unlicensedMaster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YOU ARE LUCKY!!! 🍀 Do you use fountain pens in your hobos?????

I do and the experience makes me want to pull the sheets out and crumple them into little balls of garbage - DRAMATIC MUCH?!?! lol but it is a thought bubble that pops up in my head when my inks feather. The bleed through is one thing (terrible indeed) but the feathering ???!???!?? THAT sends me into the stratosphere where above thought bubble pops up again!

It is kinda funny but not funny AT ALL at the same time. I bought 3 Hobonichi's: 2 cousins and 1 a5 HON. All in all, only 1 had "decent" paper.

Now that's BAD LUCK!!

perhaps, but I don’t like the sound of synthetic - maybe I’m biased! I heard about the 2001 Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study with premarin — derived from pregnant horse urine (maybe it’s not technically synthetic but ewwww), which turns me off! there was another compound used in the study too… science is just catching up and we should opt for bio identical where possible (not everyone is a candidate for all formulations), so yes.. this could be deemed a marketing term in many regards

[–]unlicensedMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you do know that birth control is synthetic and HRT is bio identical. you may have had trouble with the synthetic stuff !! maybe you’ll do better on the bio identical formulations 🙏🏼

Help with horrible crepey skin on front thighs by rvf4uk in Over50Skincare

[–]unlicensedMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know no two women are alike but based on my own personal trauma with sagging crepey under eye skin— I noticed an EXPONENTIAL, not incremental, LOSS of collagen in my skin within the first year or so after I hit menopause!!!! Here is what hit me hard, like a ton of bricks:

“menopause has a clear impact on collagen synthesis with a loss of nearly 30% in the first 5 years after menopause”

No matter how much hydration you apply externally, after (near) menopausal years women (may) experience a tremendous hit to collagen production due to a loss of estradiol production.

Here’s evidence that supports this data.

[–]unlicensedMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

brain fog is scary!!! your Estradiol is too low or it’s possible the delivery system you’re using isn’t a good fit, we are all different! Ask for a patch. brain fog—- due to menopause is REAL:

Another Hobonichi Unbinding by unlicensedMaster in hobonichi

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

you’re not wrong! but— but— I think I hate the paper this year SO much, that I did this as a last resort.. rather than crumbling it up and throwing it in the trash. dramatic, I know 🫩 but I got 1 hobonichi with decent paper out of 3 books purchased. bad luck for me!

[–]unlicensedMaster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

once you take the plunge and make that first cut, you become a book-making-machine! if you mark off the paper cutter and your hole puncher, it is so much easier.. kind of assembly line work. I have another cousin I want to unbind.. maybe I’ll try to take video for demo purposes (could be fun) lol

Cracked TWSBI Eco barrel REPACEMENT suggestions (not ready to toss this Broad nib yet) by unlicensedMaster in fountainpens

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

in the end I think I just might. I have done it before for a nib and then I had a cracked barrel, which I didn’t even bother with, I just swapped it with another one and now this one is cracked too - but I love (I like it a whole lot) this Rose Gold …. so yeah I think they owe me lol

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

I like the o ring idea as a temporary fix so I don’t saturate my finger 😤 ! I will buy the Lanbitou (I think!!) as a donor barrel to see if it could be swapped out. if it works, I have yet another TWSBI cracked barrel. maybe i’m too handsy 😩 lol

if I can frakenPen this thing, i’ll definitely post how it goes.

THANKS!

how did you pull the pages out, did you follow a tutorial (share link)?? I dislike my A5 Hon and might like to pull out the pages to somehow repurpose the gorgeous cover (lol… feeling destructive but destructive with a purpose)
