- Simple: r e v e r s e dnbq
- distilled water, oil, and mix some color with detergent to change the viscosity, also you can work with hot/cold mediumsArchitectofFate

Retirement Talk
I put 15% of my income into retirement right now. I fund a roth ira independently as well as put 8% into my company roth 401K. Which they match 4%. I was lucky to have a company that profit shared for 7 1/2 years so my base to build from is pretty good.
I listen to Dave Ramsey's podcast religiously and as of this year finally got a handle of my money. I highly suggest the book "The Total Money Makeover" to get started. The principles are easy to follow and it is all based on retiring comfortably and not trying to rely on Social Security (which probably won't be around when we retire).

Apple
So I've been using an iPad with pencil at work for sketching and stuff... I'm still not sure how to handle carrying the pencil around, do any of you have tricks/gadgets?
It's kind of too long and flimsy to store in my pockets, it's not magnetic like the microsoft surface one, and frankly it's too expensive to consider it "expandable"...
- I just toss it in the bag with other pens. Or in the little pen holder pouch in my messenger bag. At home it sits in the pencil jar with all my other drawing stmonospaced
- I have a Killspencer case for the iPad Pro which includes a loop for the pencil which works wellMondoMorphic
- I have a case/bag that I put the iPad in with a zipper. It also has a pocket in the outside for the pencil.ArmandoEstrada

Vid of the Day
"video tape" by Ben o'connor
"15 years ago i bought a Cannon XM1 mini DV camera
was just sifting through the hours of footage i decided to put together a little edit because i feel enough time has past to give the dv format a nostalgic feel and all the things i once hated like grainy ,soft, low res, shaky hand held with digital zoom, now these things remind me of a time before smart phones and to record something was rare. All the footage is untouched no color correction, levels its as it was captured
this is some of the from my home town hanging about with my friends"- brilliantinteliboy

Despite yesterday's 'good' news, I still feel like the worst sort of human being imaginable today because I let this spiral out of control, and because I can't solve the problem immediately. Vulnerable and ashamed.
Sorry for dumping my off-QBN drama on you guys like this. Guess I've just got no-one else I can talk to about this.
- Honestly - and this may sound perverse - it's good knowing I'm not the only one having a shit time of things, so thanks for spilling your heart. Good luck!detritus
- 'Good for me' :)detritus
- Thanks ... to you as well ... :\Continuity
- Continuity, everyone has their low points. You just don't hear about it. I surely have. This is your wake up call. You can plush through.shellie
- Open up your job options and you'll be fine. You can look for that big CD job while you get above water.shellie
- Same. It's so easy to think we're unique in our struggles. I'm terrible at doing this, but, you need to be positive about yourself and not take thatFax_Benson
- disappointment with yourself into your job searchFax_Benson
- What fax said! Feeling down about yourself mighty be a huge part of the problem.shellie
- Unfortunately, feeling down about myself is justified. I caused this situation to happen. I'd had plenty of opportunities to prevent it. But my pride got me.Continuity
- And now I really am in the shit. Especially knowing I'll be on the hook for court costs, etc, if it gets that far.Continuity
- I've had the lowest, saddest few months of my life, if that makes you feel any better :)
Probably not.set - With that comes lots of opportunity for growth and learning about oneself, at least.set
- Sounds obvious but how come you couldn't have just got a shitty average job to keep you going? Not really any of my business but...set
- Ashamed as I am to admit, set: good old fashioned stubborn pride, and some weird fear that if I did that, I'd never get back into advertising again.Continuity
- Unfortunately, I had my awakening too late, and I'm going to pay dearly for it.Continuity
- My partner's just taken a job at an Ad Agency after 5 months of not getting her usual roles. Thing is - I think it's a great job, haha. Can't tell her that thodetritus
- ..she's doing the same sort of thing she usually does, just not in the usual milieu. Better money too. And less assholes, or at least differently-flavoure...detritus
- Just spoke to my landlady: she's agreed to call off the dogs for a month, after I showed her my job-hunting progress and the appointment for social assistance.Continuity
- I'm going to do my fucking damnedest to get this debt cleared in 30 days.Continuity
- People hounding you over money can be the most stressful thing but at the end of the day it's just money...you still (I'm hoping) have your health.yuekit
- Well, my psoriasis is flaring up on just about every part of my body, and I really need to see a dentist but, yeah, I'm more or less healthy.Continuity
- Psoriasis is obviously stress related, but that's because stress makes the body acidic...set
- Eat lots of green vegetables and drink a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a pint of water once a day and cut out coke and pizza :)set
- My sister totally cured her psoriasis by balancing her ph levelsset
- Hmm, I've never heard the bicarbonate trick before, I'll have to give this a go. Beats those damned steroid ointments.Continuity
- External treatments are just typical modern medicine's approach of trying to treat the symptom not the cause..set
- Might help for a bit but the real question is why is your body doing that in the first place. Rubbing something on it from the outside is nonsense.set
- ... but of course can understand why people feel the need to try it.set
- Just googled psoriasis and bicarb, big surprise it's all suggestions of applying it externally. Fuck that, drink it, and cut out acidic food and drink!set
- How anyone still drinks coke or similar stuff on a daily basis in 2018 with access to the internet is beyond the wit of manset
- If you are owed money, the worst thing is a creditor who won't answer calls. Keep your landlady updated with how you are trying to get sorted, daily if neccessacomicsans
- And deliver! Under promise and over deliver. Say "I can get you €150 by Friday", then give her €200.comicsans
- What kind of opportunity you are looking for man? And where are you based right now? I know for CD is a bit tricky, but what else could be on your options?Fabricio
- Vent away. I think it's a sign of a healthy community. Really glad things seem to be on the up.mugwart
- Don't be ashamed, you did what you thought was right at the time. It's totally ok. Now you have a different situation and goals to meet. And are wiser.shapesalad
- Yep and no apologies. If this place can offer some (distant) support for someone having a rough time, that’s a good thing. Wishing you well xMrT
- You're all fantastic, truly. Thank you, it means a lot to be able to talk about this.Continuity
