Here is a picture of some of the items from the class kit. Can someone tell me if you click on this image, can you see the other images in my Post Images gallery? If not, I can post individual images of the other items, if there is interest. Inks, mini blending brushes, black and white ribbon, white thread, enamel dots, thread and needle, mini brads, clear glass dew drop thingies, sticker, pin and salt water taffy (it was yummy). I just see this one pic. I’d love to see the entire kit contents.

Ivanka is reportedly distancing herself from her father. She’s now going by Ivanka Kushner. Like that’s any better…different name still a felon. 😂

Oh I know we all pay for the secret service but that looked like a heck of a lot more than secret service. (I didn't watch so I only saw what was on twitter.). It looked like a lot of Florida highway patrol or police. That's what I'm wondering about. Is that Florida people who pay or is that somehow charged to the rest of us.

Who pays for that spectacle? Only Florida residents or all of us?

He's a right winger who has denied global warming and hangs out with MTG and others. Nope. He's not funny or kind. Interesting. How do you know that about him? I've never read anything about his personal life. Google

I’ve purchased a few colors of Dazzle Dry and the starter kit. The top coat dries in 5 minutes. So far I like it but it’s expensive.
i also have a ton of Beetles gel polish that I got from Amazon. I have a UV light and do my own gels that last forever. I love the Beetle polish.
I was looking for something that removed easier that’s why I went with Dazzle Dry.

Good riddance! People like him do not need a public platform. I am glad he started showing his MAGAt side so I could write him off.
I didn’t read the article but I assume next he’ll probably spout some BS that he was pushed out over his political views.

OMG I know you're mortified but it did make me chuckle. I would definitely reply back with "darn autocorrect" and a smiley face.
I doubt she'd hold it against you, autocorrect happens.

I don't do group text. They are the worst, even when it is a good situation. Don't put me in one, unless it is a life emergency. I leave them all. I hate group text’s because people can’t seem to grasp when it’s time to stop using them. It’s like all the dummies that use “reply all” on emails to say thanks!

I’m a “well done” steak person. I do not want that thing red in the middle mooing at me! I take my steaks out of the fridge about 20ish minutes before I grill. If I’m not marinating them, I put salt and pepper on both side and drop them on the grill. I flip them every few minutes for about 20 minutes.
ETA: I also butterfly a thick steak to avoid a red middle.

This happened to me at the little Walmart grocery store that is mostly self checkouts. They said it’s because alcohol cannot go thru self checkout and has to be scanned by an employee.

I like the possibilities of combining different items on a kabob. And how difficult can it be to take a fork and slide the stuff off the skewer? No, no, I mean it is a lot of work to prepare to then just slide them off the skewer like every other meal. Does that make sense? The prep is the timely part not the slide part. I’m so curious why your prep work is so much more for kabobs. Whether I grill meat and veggies separately on the grill or on a skewer, there’s minimal prep time difference for me. I still have to cut up the vegetables and I still have to cut my meat into smaller portions so the cooking time is quicker and even.

I keep resisting the quads because there is always a quad or two that I really dislike. I know I could just not ink blend that one, but it seems like a waste if I only like 50%-75% of the item. Haha! My issue is sort of similar…I’ve been tempted to cut the stencils in quarters but it’s mainly so I can easily line up the individual designs. I find the designs don’t line up perfectly which makes me cringe when I’m done.

FL to CA is a huge cultural and financial difference - best of luck! Well, South OC is very trumpy and conservative so not that different from FL 😉

We are looking around Irvine. I know you specifically posted about taxes but I wanted to mention when talking to people in So Cal about your move, I would replace Los Angeles with Orange County. LA vs OC is completely different. When I read your post, I assumed you'd be looking at LA which is way north and a totally different beast than OC. Take what katlady said seriously. If you plan to purchase a home in Irvine, make sure you are actually owning the land. Also, South OC has a lot of "other" fees cities north of that don't have like HOAs, etc. Personally, I would avoid Irvine and consider Tustin, Santa Ana (Tustin side), Orange or even older Costa Mesa. I don't live that far south so I don't have a lot of experience there but others on the board do. Traffic in South OC is HORRIBLE no matter how close you live to the job. If you have to get on the 405 or 55, traffic is all the same. I could be wrong but I believe all of the sales tax in OC is 7.75%. We all have Prop13 so your property taxes will not exceed a 2% increase annually unless you renovate your home and the city knows about it. But you will be paying your % on the current purchase price where your neighbors who've lived there for 40 years will essentially be paying their % on the 1980s home price they paid. Huge difference but worth it if you plan to live there forever.

The latest set is giving me a very 70's retro live plants in the house vibe from my childhood! Yet I think it can also look modern. I was not excited at all with the first quad set but I do like the second and third. TE is such a hit or miss for me that I'm just not ready to pull the trigger on 3 month subscription. I did join their buy/sell Facebook group and there have been a couple sales of the mod stencil set when someone put an ISO post up.

What are the PinkFresh and/or Stamp Market stencils like? Altenew has given me some PTSD (post-traumatic stencil disorder).... Honestly, I'd say Pink Fresh stencils are very similar to Altenew. There can be 4+ stencils in a stencil/stamp set combo.

Personally, I think we are a long way from a conviction. And if a Republican wins in 2024 they will likely pardon trump.
That being said, if there is a smoking gun, it's trump on tape admitting he took classified documents.

Anyone in 2023 who would allow someone visibly sick into their home is utterly stupid. Nice victim blaming. My theory about you being a troll is seemingly correct. I’m a troll because I said someone letting a visibly sick person in their home is stupid. If you’re worried about Covid and you let a sick person in your house, what the fuck do you expect to happen? For fucks sake it’s not like it’s February 2020! It’s 2023, we’ve been going at this for 3 years! I stand by everything I’ve said in this thread.

I started FUBAR but couldn’t get past 2 episodes. I may go back and try again because I love Fortune Fiemster.
I just finished all of Firefly Lane. Wow, it was so good. It was strange how they made me like and not like both Kate and Tully throughout the series yet they just fit together.

Why is it so much work? I don’t find it any more work than grilling veggies and meat separately on the BBQ. I like kabobs because it’s smaller pieces of meat that cook faster.

MichyM I'm so glad you posted this. My Gina K tiny towel started shredding quickly also which is totally disappointing. I though it was me using it incorrectly but it seems like it's just the way it works unfortunately. I've always used the Costco Kirkland brand wipes and I loved them. They cleaned perfectly and never left any lint. However, I don't have a Costco membership so my BFF would pick up the box for me. The last box was different. I'm not sure if they've revamped the wipes or if she got me a different version but these are way wetter, like to the point where my stamps and platform have to be wiped with a dry cloth because they are soaked. They just don't work as good as the others wipes. I've been eyeing the hero arts scrubber so I may pick one of those up.
