I love you.
Put it in resin...make a resin block with the potato inside. I had a seahorse in a resin block when I was a wee one.
I had to read that just to see why someone was saving a 25-year old cheese ball. Thanks for sharing!
BS like that happens all the time on parenting-oriented message boards and discussions fall apart so fast. It drives me bonkers. Some people really just need to sit on their hands instead of sharing every little thought that pops into their heads.
I preserve a lot of things in resin. The problem is sometimes the colors go wonky (esp with flowers).
Yup, either encase in acrylic or wax.
I texted my friend who used to run a bronze foundry and this is what she had to say:
"There's a big difference between bronzing and casting bronze. Bronzing is not recommended for perishables. Like your baby shoes, it is just dipped in a colored polymer made with bronze dust. The thing is still inside forever. I would…
as an aside, I totally agree with your original comment—opinions on whether a potato is just a potato are insensitive and not helpful. I am a big fan of letting people feel their feelings however they need to and preserving a memory doesn't hurt anyone.
Although, circle of life: plant it, a new potato plant grows out of it, plant one of the potatoes from that one, and keep it goin'. Sentimentality achieved due to how easy it is to grow potatoes!
I learned in a medieval lit course, many years ago, that it was believed that women had to orgasm in order to conceive. I remember my professor saying making vaguely dirty jokes about it. I really liked her.
Calling my penis "The Yard" opens up all new kinds of rhyming possibilities.
Yeah, I've actually seen it. Years ago, I was a member (heh) of a Porn Club — a bunch of people ordered pizza and beer and took turns picking porno flicks. It was more like MST3K than, you know, like an orgy or something, but. We wanted a safe space to evaluate all kinds of porn so we could decide what was "good" porn…
In the picture, he looks like Evil Mark Ruffalo.
One assault charge was assault with a deadly weapon, a pillow.
During a class in college about the business of fashion, the GM of a Jil Sander store spoke to our class and said something like, "You never know who's a potential customer. You never know if that dirty kid will grow up to be a billionaire, or if the guy in a hoodie will win the lottery, so I tell my salespeople to…
But even if she was wearing stuff from Target, the sales lady missed an opportunity. You never know when the person dressed in Target clothes is actually looking to drop a huge amount of money. Maybe they've been saving, won the lottery, or found a sugar daddy/momma. Or maybe they are fucking Oprah who is coming from…
No kidding. Imagine what she was wearing. You know it was expensive. Any salesperson in an expensive store should be able to spot whether a potential customer is wearing designer clothes or off the rack crap like I wear.
As someone who used to work in sales, that salesgirl is an idiot. Not for failing to recognize Oprah, but for totally missing a good sales pitch. If a customer wants to look at something you think they can't afford- show it to them! Tell them about how great the item is, then mention the price. If they say it's too…
