Need tips for using DMC Cross Stitch thread for macrame

I can't cross stitch anymore so I'm starting macrame again. I've got hundreds of DMC thread. I would think they could work for bracelets, but I don't know the easiest way to manipulate them. Is there an easy way to use the thinner threads? I've seen waxed cord used, do you think if I waxed the thread, it would be easier to work with?

I find working with the larger threads much easier, but I really don't want to waste all this other thread. Also, if you have links to patterns using the thread, I'd appreciate the post.

Depressive State due to BiPolar?

I wasn't sure which subgroup to place this. I understand that KC had a chronic pain problem due to an undiagnosed digestive disorder. Did they find out what caused it in his autopsy?? Also, I understand that he had bipolar as well as the heroin addiction. Was he in a Depressive state due to the bipolar when he passed? Also, the search I did stated he had no know reason to be depressed. Chronic pain is reason enough.

OLTL early to mid 80's

I can't remember when I started watching, but there was a villain who turned out to be "Vicki" Buccanan's sister. I'm not even sure if her name was Vicki B. But I know she was a Bucchan. Apparently, the villain turned out to be her 1/2 sister. I cannot think of the villain's name. But she had beautiful strawberry blond hair. Does anyone remember her name? I can't even find it on search or AI. She wasn't Vicki's Alternate Personality.

Minimalist Fashion

I'm over Minimalism. Beige, White, Tan, Khaki. If you're lucky you get to wear Navy. The above posted picture is from the Advance Style group on FB. The photographer Ari Seth Cohen takes photos of very fashionable older ladies. They remind me of poem called "Warning" by Jennifer Joseph. I think it starts out with "When I am old, I will wear purple." I am inspired by these women he photographs. Anyway, I encourage you to look up the blog for inspiration. Oh, I just remembered, sometimes you can wear black with minimalism. Someone and I don't remember who, said "fashion should be fun". I'm getting old and I'm going to wear purple.

I looked up the quote. It was by Caroline Herrera according to AI.

Kara

I was watching the interview with Kara on The Last Resort. She literally said that after being with one person for 5 years, being with another person is like "being a born-again virgin". She is so delusional. Guillermo needs to just leave.

Origins of products on Etsy or better photography

I'm "busy" searching for things on Etsy. Anything from clothing to crafts and craft supplies. I've noticed that especially with the women's clothing, it's photographed and styled just like the inexpensive clothing sites from maybe somewhere else. I'm wondering how much of this is people hiring models and either learning better photography or hiring a photographer. And how much of this is non-authentic products. If it is just better photography, I wish they would go back to poorer photography, at least it makes the product seem original and more authentic. I'm only giving my impression, not accusing, just giving my impression.
