      Just looks like a normal rock tbh. Make sure to boil it well (twice preferably) before you put it in your aquarium to remove any nasties from it.

          Two unexpected car repair bills and surgery to remove a tumor my cat had. That’s more than enough for this month!

          I was supposed to fully move into my house at the end of this month but after the car and cat surgery bills I don’t have the budget for it.

            There isn’t too much snow here in Michigan but it’s super cold. I think the cold did in the old kitchen faucet at my house. Hopefully the plumber I like will be able to replace it quickly.

              It’s been quite some time, but now that I’ve moved and settled in a bit (and have been massively itching to paint something), I was wondering if anyone would like to do a Foo Pup swap? I have one that’s been waiting quite some time for his turn to be painted. He’ll have red eyes (not sure if I have any other colors of 5mm eyes on-hand but I can double-check).

              I know that the Foo Pup is currently out of stock, but maybe somebody hoarded one.

              If you’re an established member and would like to do the swap send me a pm and we can iron out the details.
              (I may cross-post this to the FB official fan group, but I wanted to post this here first where there’s a smaller audience)

                That Black Nebula Mouse Wizard is adorable! I would love to see something like that show up in the store.

                    Thank you both! I’m so happy to finally be on my own for real.

                      I bought my first house today! I’ll be moving in over the next couple weeks.

                          Removing dry paint can be very difficult from a PYO, unless it happens to not like the gypsum and peels off easily. If the surface is smooth enough people just tend to paint over the old paint.
                          Using acetone to remove the paint will take a lot of effort and materials, and you’ll likely end up with tiny flecks of paint in the crevices that are too stubborn to get rid of.
                          Maybe a coat of matte or ultra matte varnish on the tail would help give the eye paint something to grab on to.

                            I remembered the name of the other test paint – Night’s Fire!

                            I had a couple pieces of this test paint but sold them because I had pieces from yet another test paint that were very similar.

                              Not sure if this is a keepsake/gift item given to the seller or a repaint. Nothing on the felt pad is extremely suspicious.

                                Galactic Shadows was another but I can only find a hatchie with that scheme.

                                I can’t remember the name for anything but I had a young Ori test paint that was dark blue with silver accents, and it might have been galactic shadows. I sold it a while back.

                                  Parroting that USPS shipment data is sent via Paypal, and I always pay with Paypal.
