I was recently informed that wet sanding is done with oil, not water. I’ve been using water - yikes.

My process has been the following:
Sand with 120 grit (forward and reverse) then “wet sand” using water with 120 grit (forward and reverse)
I follow that pattern all the way up to 600 grit

Then I rub eee ultra shine shine on with a cloth

Then apply a couple coats of pens plus

Gently “sand” with a brown paper bag (my grandma says this gets rid of any fuzziness from the finish?)

So my question is - where does wet sanding fit into this? When would I apply any oil? Wouldn’t that mess up the eee ultra shine and pens plus that I apply later on?

Thanks in advance for helping set me straig

Religion absolutely fucked me up and I am happy to have that shit out of my life. My girlfriend knows how I feel. But this morning she said “what a based fucking pope” because apparently he quoted lord of the rings.

Gender affirming care has been banned at all catholic hospitals and he didn’t say a damn thing about it. Anytime the catholic church (as a whole) does something supporting queer people, they leave trans people out because they still think we are “abominations” and it’s people like this who are perpetuating the entire witch hunt against trans people and the degradation of trans rights in the US right now.

I respect there may be religious people on this sub. That’s ok but I am

My aunt had symptoms starting on 3/27. For weeks after, my mom was texting and talking on the phone with her and other than some hearing loss she seemed fine. The last coherent text my mom got from my aunt was on Mother’s Day. I am so lucky I just happened to be traveling to the part of the country that my aunt lives in (we live on opposite coasts). I got to visit her to say goodbye today and it was so hard. I think all I can do is listen to everything

1. My uncle mentioned she was hard of hearing and that we needed to talk loud and slow

2. We saw her today and it was so much worse than that. She couldn’t walk on her own. She couldn’t form sentences. She forgot words or used wrong words o

I am a financial analyst. One of my responsibilities is projecting how much of a given product we’re anticipated to sell when we launch new limited time offers. This deliverable goes to my supply chain partners.

In my experience, working with supply chain is usually absolute hell. They have been incredibly demanding with unreasonable deadlines and there is always this frenetic and reactive energy with them. I’m talking emails always marked as urgent, following up on an ask the day after they send the initial request, sending an email if I don’t immediately respond on teams (often with my boss cc’d), asking for estimates of what my projections will be before I send them over etc.

I hadn’t

I am so fucking tired. Physically and mentally. I just want to blow up everything in my life and run away.

I get depressed and when I’m depressed I feel like my whole life is just me gaslighting myself. I think all of these negative things about relationship with my gf. And I find myself wondering if my relationship is the source of my depression (or at the very least contributing to it). But then I think “no I’m just depressed and my relationship is getting caught in the cross hairs.”

So I never know - is my relationship a problem or am I just depressed? It’s like I can’t trust myself to make decisions because I can’t trust my own thoughts and feelings.

I’m just crying and down. Every ti

My parents lived near us but they recently moved across the country.

Next week they are taking a trip to visit my grandma who lives about a 6hr drive away from us. My mom really misses living near me so they decided to visit us after they see my grandma. They are staying in their own hotel for the whole trip, not at our house.

The plan was for them to be here Friday night and then leave Saturday afternoon. We’d planned to celebrate my birthday at dinner on Friday night.

My parents are retired so they don’t really have a reason to hurry back home so now they decided to visit from Friday to Sunday.

My girlfriend had a ladies night planned last week but she got sick so they all had to can

Tonight my girlfriend and I had a misunderstanding we each I thought she referred to “Mother Mary” as a nun but she meant like Jesus’s mom Mary.

I finally figured out the misunderstandings d explained it to her. We both understood.

She wanted to explain how she felt because she said some unkind things to me during the misunderstanding. While she was explaining how she felt, she was ALSO saying mean things to me.
