Jennifer McGuire posted a new video using this system. While the system is not my thing, it was a good video demonstrating the product.

I'm LOVING the So Cal weather! I hate the heat so this May Grey and June Gloom has been awesome. Earlier this week on the channel 7 morning news they said it will probably last thru June and possibly to mid-July. That would be great so please don't jinx it!

I need to know what the bumper stickers said before I can answer. Your "trashy & vulgar" may not be the same as mine.

Sounds like the women received justice. I don't think it will have any effect at all on the "Church" of Scientology - nothing seems to touch them. I haven't been following too closely but from what I've read, now civil cases against the cult will start.

So glad justice was finally served! Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end for his cult.

During the summer, on the weekdays I start as early as 7am and on the weekends I start at 8am-ish.

I bought these dies at our local second hand scrap store. They didn't come with an identifying piece of packaging, so I assumed they might be from Temu or more likely Ali Express. I have googled pop tops and geotags hoping to find something that matches so I can put it in my inventory, but I am coming up with zero hits. Does anyone know what these are or have a better idea than a soda pop top or geotag? I am thinking they could be like a photo corner but can't remember what they are called. TIA View AttachmentI think they might be a discontinued die set from My Favorite Things called Soda Can Tabs. I found this eBay post that included this die set. www.ebay.ph/itm/144351405157?hash=item219c03a465:g:xr8AAOSwRYBhzip0

Male transgender to female athletes are winning and their wins are always featured in the news. I’m pretty informed and I can’t think of any male transgender athlete that is sweeping any sport in wins. “Always featured in the news”, what news, Faux News? Can you provide links to all theses “features”? I think among the many issues facing our country right now, this happens so infrequently that it’s not worth all the attention red-state legislatures have given it.

I did not get the email but what was posted above makes zero sense to me. It says you and the people you live with can use your account "on the go". So my account sign in else where is allowed. How are they going to know if it's me traveling or me at someones house or someone else using my account?
Are we just going to have to get a code every time? I'm so confused.

It’s honestly mind blowing to think that there are people who don’t believe you learn from travel. My public school sanctioned all kinds of absences for trips, including school organized trips. Nothing can replace travel, but you can always go back and read a textbook or watch a video lecture to cover a few missed lessons. It’s NOT mind blowing that you think your trip to Disney world or your redneck family reunion IS educational.

Some of these comments just reinforce why our country is so fucked up. An education is not valued as much as a family vacation. JFC we really are a shithole country. School isn’t the only kind of education. You learn just as much from travel. Sure Jan

If someone expects me to remove my shoes then I expect them to provide something (new slippers or socks) to put on. I'm not walking my bare feet on someones floor. I don't care how clean you think you are, unless you mop the ENTIRE house 3 times a day, there are particles that will be sticking to my feet. That's just gross.

Unless there's money or a gift card in it, I don't expect any acknowledgement that someone has received my card. Your post about feeling insecure about your cards makes me wonder if someone said something to you or if you overheard something about your cards. If so, then I would stop sending them but I probably wouldn't send anything at all...that would be my passive aggressive way to deal with it.

The US made products are expensive. And I've complained about it here. But you (general you) can't fight for living wages for workers in the US and then complain about the cost of the products, so you buy from a foreign company who pays their workers a cheap wage. (At one point in my career I worked for a tech company and I was making 4 times as much as my counterpart at our China location. It was a high-level management position.) This just doesn't apply to most of the stamp companies that's why I say there needs to be a real conversation about prices. I believe almost all of the photopolymer stamps are made in the US. And for the most part, I don't have any issues with the prices of stamps. However, dies are another story. I believe most of these companies have their dies manufactured in China. According to Gina K (who says her dies are manufactured in China) the minimum order for dies from a US manufacturer is so high that most small stamp companies just simply cannot afford it. A majority of the companies get their dies manufactured in China which is why I say there needs to be a conversation about the cost of dies. I tried looking at SSS, Hero Arts and Honey Bee to see where their dies are made. I couldn't find anything on their website. Pink Fresh Studio is the only company I found that states their dies are made in China.

Ugh the Anti-TEMU/AE/WISH posts on Instagram from the cardmaking celebs and design team members are really irking me today. I get it, I really do.
I also wish there could be a civil conversation about the outrageous prices companies are charging...which was happening long before "inflation". The complaining just seems so one sided. Why is a $70 stamp and die set from SSS just accepted as reasonable?

I'm...your cousin. I'm sorry. I don't need to write to my cousin's kids in boot camp, I think we'll both be just fine without that. And to me, kids leaving home isn't really so sad or unbearable that I need my entire extended family to ask me about it or check in on me. I think you need to understand that what's a big deal to you isn't to everyone, and give her a break. You don't have to have empathy for every situation. Just say hi and let the conversation move naturally. Perfectly said!

Yes ALL THE TIME! I have to put my iPad across the room so I stop and focus on what I'm watching. Yep - and even though I’ve done it already, EVERY time I watch FBI - I swear I’ve seen O A in something else. And I’ve IMBDd him - he’s been in nothing I’ve seen! O A YUM! There is just something about that smirky smile that gets me.

I read the article earlier today. Did I miss something? I don’t see anywhere that there was a crash or accident of any kind. There is a statement from Meghan and Harry alleging close calls, right? I don’t know what to make of it. Yes, paparazzi must be annoying and intrusive, but has nothing been learned from history? Why run or drive dangerously and recklessly? There seems to be no police involvement, unless I missed it. As crowded as the streets of NYC are, not only are they lucky they weren’t hurt, but that no uninvolved bystanders were either. I don’t know… something seems off about this incident as reported… That didn’t take long. Oh just wait, the vile harry hating peas haven't had a chance to respond yet.

I'm curious how Summer Camp works. I succumbed last week and decided to take part (even though I already have a lemon die set that I like). Incidentally, even though they say they'll add you to the waitlist, in actuality they still have spaces open in case anyone else wants to sign up. Will they email a link to a FB group, and if so, does anyone recall how long before the event they did so last year? Also, how long before the event did you receive your packages? And how much homework was there, lets say compared to a SCT C+CD event (if you've done one)? Thanks much! Definitely give your honest opinion after the class. I'm really interested to hear what you think. I took the In The Classroom event in mid-March. I paid for the event in December. An update email was sent in mid-Feb with the link to the Facebook group. The kit was shipped about 2 weeks before the event but there was a delay because some of the new color stuff did not arrive on time. There was no homework for the event. There were printed instructions for each class in the box so you could do any of the class work ahead of time. Do you know who your camp counselor is yet?

I'm not. I'll be honest, the graphic didn't grab me. I do like Mindy Eggen and Meghan Andrews though. I don't send enough holiday cards and have plenty of holiday stamps as it is. I need to revisit some threads about card donations.

My #1 pet peeve is bad infrastructure. If your website crashes every time you release new product, that is a huge turnoff. (I'm looking at you PTI in the olden days.). This also happens at Gina K and Concord & 9th's website crashed when they released their new colors. I love the Stamp Markets products but trying to find stuff on their website is next to impossible. If you don't know the exact name of a set, you are screwed. I tried searching for "butterfly" and half the butterfly products would not come up. And for the love of all, give me sort options. Next is free shipping. I HATE paying for shipping especially when I'm ordering more than $50 worth of products. I know shipping costs have skyrocketed but as a consumer, to me that is throwing away money I would spend on product if your shipping was free. Hence my problem of buying $40 worth of product just to save $8 on shipping! Also, if you can't have flat shipping rates for stamps and dies that's a problem. There is so much I want to purchase from The Ton but their shipping is outrageous and they NEVER have free shipping codes. I'm not a huge fan of "exclusive" products mainly because the more people who have the products, the more ideas I can find on google & Pinterest. I've said before, I'm not great at coming up with my own designs, but I can copy the heck out of other peoples cards. The other thing with exclusive products is that a lot of the companies will offer something as exclusive and then a few months later come out with a design that is similar but not exact. Concord & 9th does this a lot. The "Oh Yeah" layering stencil set for C&CD was turned into "Big Hugs" and sold a few months later. I'm not a fan of clubs like the Taylored Expressions quad of the month club where you are locked in sight unseen. While I LOVE the May stencil, it's too much of a risk to buy from TE without peeks. I'm just not a huge enough fan of their products. I didn't mind the Spellbinders clubs because you used to be able to opt out. Same with Hero Arts. I really really like the virtual events where you get product. I know this started because of COVID but I hope it never stops. I'd never be able to go to multiple in person events because the cost would be too high if it wasn't local. While C&CD is getting boring because they are not changing up the companies, I like the multiple company events. I'm super excited about the Pink Fresh & Stamp Market collaboration. As scrapnnana said, I don't owe companies anything. Do I want them to stay in business, of course. That being said, I need to get the most bang out of my buck so I'm going where the product is the most inexpensive.
