I'm looking to get started with fuse beads. I heard Artkal has more colors, so I figured I'd go with them. (I love colors LOL) Beyond that.. I'm a little unsure. I see the Explore Universe kit I'm interested in, is that a good place to start with? I've heard people will destash on eBay and Mercari, would that be a next step or just pick up what I like during sales and run with it?

I have an iron, just a regular clothes iron, and I plan on working on a flat place and yes I know not to iron on my boards lol. I figure I'd save up for something better later on if I stick with it.

My husband linked me to someone on youtube who did a ton of pokemon and I just watched like 50+ tutorial videos he posted, including the tape method so yes I will be doing that. Just painter's tape, right? I think it was? It's past 2 am and my memory isn't the best lol.

He had a bit of a rougher finish using parchment paper on his works, and he tried Artkal ironing papers but it left tiny little holes in his beads (like they didn't seal shut). Is there a way to get the gloss of the ironing papers and have the beads fully melt shut? I saw someone mention more glittery ironing paper from TTB, but they apparently closed (RIP), where can I find alternatives to it?

What did you mess up in the beginning so I can learn from you? LOL What are the big mistakes to watch out for?

Thank you <3 I'm big nervous but also big excited. Sorry if these questions seem a bit basic lol.

Like, I wanna max out my house, but have no intention of marrying or having kids in this (main) save. Can I decorate the extra rooms for myself or are they basically locked for those purposes?

The ability to name rooms/islands and see what they are. It's weird we can name rooms but never see the names. (I use islands for storage so I'd love to see what island is what.)

The ability to see what we've crafted/haven't crafted. Palia has a sort by not crafted feature and I'd love it. I'd love a lil red dot to tell me what I still need to craft to 100% the game.

An unstuck button, also a la palia. The amount of times I get stuck places and have to restart the game because I have no idea how to get out 🤦‍♀️ (yes I'm dumb lol)

What about you guys?

So we're watching through, we're S1E19 I think it is with Author getting the knife (literally paused at this moment).. what would happen if Rumple used the knife to kill himself? Who would the name be?

I had a relative die in January. I cancelled their Prime. I have the confirmation email still in the inbox that it was cancelled. Lo and behold, guess what just renewed? And the phone registered to the account is a flip phone so I can't do the texting thing the customer service number I tried calling wanted. It sent me a link and I tried to log in and the line was just.. silent, no nothing. I kind of rage quit at that point 😂 What number should I call? I thought all the cards were removed and stuff, but I guess I missed one.. I don't even know how that was because American Express called and cancelled all their cards when they found out they passed and the renewal was under an American Express.

Pretty much just point me in the least stressful direction please? I know it'll be a battle either way, but.. maybe an easier battle?
