I'm looking for stories and videos that show the limitations after surgery, showing the loss of range of motion, etc. to answer these questions I have:

1. how difficult is it to put on a bra

2. can you put your hair in a pony tail

I'm due for a reverse replacement, and dreading the loss of motion. I think for many activities (golf, windsurfing, knitting, weight-lifting) with modifications, I'll manage. But there are some basic movements, like those mentioned above, that I imagine become either difficult or impossible.

While I am sure that *some* amount of loss of range is individual, but I guess I'm looking for a "best case scenario" if one follows PT etc. THANKS

Today I was on hold with my doctor's office and instead of hold music, I got an extended ad for their services. Made me feel sicker than I was.

I have a project I need to complete. It's become quite complicated but essentially I would prefer to print using letterpress (rather than digital or offset printing) techniques. The paper size is quite large. I have an etching press, and was imagining that perhaps there is a way to create a plastic letterpress master, and use the etching press to print onto large paper.

I know this sounds ridiculously naive! But my options are dwindling at the moment, so I am looking at ways of completing this project. It's a small edition, maybe 20-40 imprints total.

I'm also open to working with letterpress artists, but the one I had planned to work with is all booked up.

Thanks in advance!

(Please feel free to DM me if you are a business, I know that self-promotion is not allowed on the sub.)

I’m tasked with creating an archive of a living artist.

I’m stumped now to approach emails. Is there a best practice for this?

I’m considering printing them out* and organizing by person and then by year. But with all the back and forth in emails and the parts that get inadvertently copied when the reply is made, it will take a great deal of editing/tweaking for the printouts to make sense.

How have you approached this?

*I am still on the fence whether the printing will be to paper or to PDF

Wow, this seemed much more difficult than I expected! I opened my box of feet (I recently inherited a 930) and thought I could categorize them. Opened the can of worms that is "old-old, old, new" feet, and tried to find a guide to the numbers. My feet are a mix of
"old-old" and "old" so that was especially confusing.

Made a spreadsheet, searched the web, and finally was able to make sense of what I had.

This should have been much easier! But now, satisfied with the job = done. There are still a couple mystery feet. Non-bernina. But I need a rest. Printed out my guide and putting it with the feet for future me.
