We've made the purchase, we have the receipt, why are points I earned in August pending until November? Is it just to delay disbursement until after the close of the return window? And if so, why's that still the case when the purchased items are food, which don't have a four-month return window, and are a confirmed/completed sale pretty much right away?
I watched videos on how to replace this cartridge for a tub faucet that won't stop running, and every detail lined up with the videos... until the last step. This looks nothing like the cartridges in the videos, and I can't pull it out! I've removed the keeper ring, but the rest of it's just bonded in with no luck no matter how I try to pull it.
I need help, thank you!!
I was talking with someone I recently met about the difficulty finding others who enjoy traditional goth music. Are there others around town who are into bands like Clan of Xymox, Bauhaus, SOM, SATB, Nox Novacula, Corpus Delecti, Twin Tribes, Agent Side Grinder, Tears for the Dying, Then Comes Silence, Dark Side Cowboys, etc.? Maybe even industrial bands that might not be trad-goth, but are bands goths like? (Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Acid Bath, FLA)
She recognized a band on my shirt, and we were excited realize we share musical interests, given how hard it is to find others who are into real goth music, so I thought I'd ask.
So how about it, are there others who can sing the "Floodland" album from start to finish, have thoughts on the recent Peter Murphy album, but fret about the South Dakota wind tussling their carefully-Siouxsied locks?
"Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse" diptych; two pieces (12x24" each) done In pastel and colored pencil with pipestone pigment background. Sitting Bull is depicted wearing a headdress and shirt known to be his, both of which survive in museum care, and holding the twisted stem pipe with which he was photographed several times. There are no photographic images of Crazy Horse, but there are eyewitness descriptions of his hair (braided on one side, loose on the other), a shirt he was famous for wearing (until later in life, when he would go into battle shirtless and painted with yellow body paint and white hailstone dots), and this very rarely-seen headdress associated with him, now preserved at the National Museum of the American Indian (he more famously wore only a single hawk feather in his hair, rather than full headdresses or eagle feathers). I spoke with members of the Crazy Horse family to get consent to depict him in my art. Above each person is a representation of ledger art from contemporary eyewitnesses and glyphs they both used to identify themselves. I've slightly altered each ledger image from the original, so as to respect the historic artwork while still offering a distinctly-recognizable ledger representation.
I just listened to it straight through at the gym, and it's really good. Just wanted to add some genuine word of mouth support so y'all don't sleep on it.
I've read a LOT of your posts (and other subreddits) to learn as much as I can, and I've gathered that despite the variety of knock-offs and clones, the consensus is that the 03C is the original and still the best. My son doesn't care about color scheme or fancy design, just that "it's super accurate." He also doesn't want the 03C+; just the 3-key model is fine. I can cover that by ordering from Amazon or Aliexpress. But he also dislikes the loud clacking of plastic-on-plastic or plastic-on-aluminum switches, so I'd love to surprise him by also getting him the best hall effect, quiet, super-responsive, top-tier Sayo-compatible switches for him as well. And any other mods I might not know about that would be awesome to include, too.
If your dad was paying and you could add any combination of hardware to cart, what would you choose? I want him to be really happy--"Dad really gets me!"--and know that I'm actually making the effort to learn abut the options, and not just taking the lazy way to Amazon for the first easy product.
I've never been someone considered extremely attractive, and all my life I've wondered what it would be like. As I've aged, I've gone through the end of a marriage with a wife who told me, "You're so stupid you don't even know how ugly you are!"
I started working out, lost 100 pounds, hired a gym trainer, learned everything about skin and hair care, grew a beard that I keep groomed, and I really thought I was becoming...not gorgeous or anything, but maybe in the 6-8 range? Sometimes, I despise what I see in a mirror, and sometimes I actually feel pretty decent--"Hey, not bad! I've got good muscle tine in my arms and chest!" But every time, it's me facing the memories of being told I'm disgusting and ugly by a woman I had loved.
Tonight, I was told very directly by someone that I am not considered attractive. I can tell myself that this was only one woman's conclusion, but it took just one person saying "nah, not attractive" to bring back all the decades of feeling fat, plain-looking, chubby-faced, big-nosed, unathletic, and uncool. The comment wasn't made cruelly; it was actually just a clarification along the lines of, "I wish you well, but you're not someone I consider attractive", at the very start of a conversation.
I'm already past my prime, as far as age. I've always wondered what it would be like to be a guy who turns heads, like "Wow, look at him! I wish...!", the way Chris Hemsworth or Jason Momoa can do every day. I can't decide if I feel like giving up, or trying harder, but I don't have many "potentially attractive" years left now.
