Take a little peek at this site. They even had those plastic spheres back in the day...
Look, you can totally DIY this thing. Just grab a balloon—find one that’s decent and round—and then take some old newspapers. Tear them up into little pieces, maybe like 2x2 inches or whatever, doesn't have to be perfect. Soak those scraps in some wood glue and start layering them onto the balloon. You gotta let it dry completely before you go in for another layer, so just keep repeating that process until it’s thick enough. Once it's bone dry, pop the balloon, slice your sphere open with a saw, and boom—you're done.

Wait, you aren't actually telling me I have to go out and hunt for those glasses, are you?????
Give it a little effort too, and if I track them down, I'll let you know!
Just don't start crying about it, alright? No tears!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pleaseeeee, I really need them

I'm living in Chicago

Maybe try asking your aunt at the local corner store? Honestly, I picked some up a few years back during one of those weekly giveaway promos. Usually, you just get them handed to you when you go see a 3D flick at the AMC, so maybe check with the theater or ask someone you know who’s seen one lately...
I'd give you mine if I could, but I have zero clue where they went...

You gotta own it before you can even think about selling it!

Recently, I was given a print featuring three works by famous American painters. It’s a reproduction—or a print, or whatever the technical term might be... you know, when it's numbered like 32/100 and produced with the artist's permission.
What is the actual, correct term for pieces like this?

GRAPHIC ART
Art appraisals/valuations? in Classifieds ·
You can't really make out anything in this photo.
It’s not like we can tell if it was made back in 1900 or maybe even 1750.
Plus, there's no way to see what kind of wood they actually used.

Honestly, looking at the photo, it’s tough to pin down a specific style. What I'm seeing looks like a weird mashup—you've got these Baroque-style dragon figures slapped onto what looks like a Biedermeier table.
To give you a straight answer, I really need to see it in person...
It's hard to tell from just a picture if it’s even an actual antique.
As for restoration, yeah, we can definitely handle it. But I can't even give you a ballpark price until I get my hands on it and see how much damage we're actually dealing with...

Check out these categories:
cuboro-marble run
And you'll see the cugolino starter kit—basically, the cuboro basic set is what you're after.
(Price is honestly a steal 🙏)
Hey there! Does anyone know where I could track down some colored glass? I’m hunting for a sleek, glossy black to use for a kitchen display cabinet.
Ideally somewhere in the Chicago or Indianapolis area.
Honestly, you should just ask around your circle—friends, family, whoever. There’s always some guy sitting on a machine he isn't even using, right? Maybe someone will let you borrow one just to see if you actually vibe with it before you drop any cash...
You can always pick one up later...
I borrowed one myself, messed around with it for a few days, and now it’s just been sitting there gathering dust for four months straight. Oops.😉
Poll: Would you guys try this? in Miscellaneous ·
The idea is killer, but man, was it actually smart to go public with something this good?!
Idea thieves are always lurking around here, just waiting to pounce.
I've got a tractor myself, and honestly, I could probably find plenty of stuff to stock up my smokehouse with too!
You feel me? Just kidding!
Seriously though, your idea is awesome.
Are you being watched? in Miscellaneous ·
I’ve been lurking and following all of you on this thread... and honestly? You guys are pretty awesome!

casualmaker32 said:Little Luke will be turning 6 on April 14, 2010.
He was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor back in March 2007.
He had to undergo emergency surgery just two weeks later, but unfortunately, he’s been paralyzed since the procedure.
It’s been such a rough road—chemo, spinal taps, losing consciousness, blood sugar issues, even fluid buildup around his heart and lungs. He was actually supposed to be home spending Christmas 2009 with the family, but things took a turn when he started struggling to breathe. His parents had to rush him to the hospital, where doctors started him on a new round of chemo that he has to receive in the hospital for two months.
Just three days ago, things got even harder when they diagnosed him with T-cell lymphoma, and he ended up having an epileptic seizure as a side effect of the chemo.
His mom and dad are right there by his side through all of this, and his older brother is going through it with them too.
So, I have a huge favor to ask you all:
On April 24, 2010, at 7:00 PM, there's going to be a play called "Hude Beteg" over at Zelina Community College. Tickets are $10
The whole thing is a fundraiser, and every single cent goes directly to helping Little Luke.
If you can make it, please, please come out.
It’s a comedy show performed in that classic local dialect, and it's a great way to support LITTLE Luke!
Thanks so much to everyone who steps up to help!

I fixed the date... please come this Sunday instead.

Check out Interieurs Klanfar over in the suburbs near Chicago—
they’re right off the main highway.

The Book
is basically a full starter guide for beginners. It’s called
TAROT + Cards
and it was released in the Newsweek collection, specifically for $13
. If you don't see it at your local newsstand, maybe check out www.newsweekshop.com.

There's this music shop over in downtown Chicago, I think I saw them carrying some good stuff there.
Not 100% sure on the exact street address, but it's somewhere across from the big cathedral, right near that fancy art gallery.
redridge said:casualmaker32, I’m actually looking for some slippers myself. If you can remember, which specific Chinese market did you find them in? I’ve scoured all over Chicago, but the only ones I found in Chinatown were totally trashed—those cheap two-piece kind😢
I don't want to overspend. Looking for the absolute budget options.

Honestly, I have no clue... it might have been that one "Shanghai Shop" that's closed now.
That was near the old deli, maybe try checking out Ofertsimi? 🤷
If I stumble upon it again, I'll let you know.
By the way, I really love your blog. Keep it up.👍

Maybe try hitting up a local vet clinic. Might be worth a shot.
