The medical solution was, "whelp, we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"?! I mean, really, I'm happy the issues resolved but I can only imagine the number of hours you've spent at a medical facility since that first post. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she hasn’t pooped it out within a week we’ll get an X-ray and see if it’s stuck elsewhere. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 After 8 years, I think my 3D printer from Dremel is finally dying. Getting thermister and heater errors, which go away when it warms up just sitting there idly. Makes me not trust it to run by itself in case it decides to catch fire. The whole reason I'm printing is that I was struggling with whether to base my ReaperCon entry as it sort of has an integral base already. It felt cheap to not do some base. A big round or square would look cheesy. With the 3D printer I could make anything. A star? Something with scallopped edges? Seemed rather plain and just as cheesy. I was stumped until I asked for the help of my partner in crime and marriage. She had a brilliant idea of creating a "shadow" base, where the base is printed in black, but looks like the shadow of the figure. Absolutely brilliant and yet another reason my younger self should marry her younger self back when. Now if I can just keep the printer printing a week before the contest, I will be happy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a responsible gamer, I know this to be particularly true of those little magnets. Lillers is a very good fur child; she won't eat anything other than meat left unattended. I dropped some Brookside chocolates on the floor one time, she found one and played with it, but she didn't eat it. Yeah, kids swallowing magnets is bad. A single one is arguably okay (by comparison), but two can cause some serious life threatening issues, something about magnetism and them attracting... 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently gagging down Orange Slimetm [Orange Flavored Gatorade] I was instructed to fill with a white mystery powder that is labeled "Polyethylene Glycol 3350".

Since 5:00 PM yesterday it's been the intermittent 10 yard steeplechase, very little sleep, and here I sit at 6:15 AM gagging down the last of the scheduled concoction, with thoughts of screen doors and gastric distress on my mind.

Pegazus Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 You all got orange?! Lucky! I was told to avoid red, orange, and blue. Yellow or green only, but green apple green seemed too blue. Damn my painting eye. So it was lemon lime which I am not a fan of. Orange. Hmph. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 They have flavors now? Fortunately, drinking that crap is the worst of it and the rest goes pretty fast. Meanwhile, who is packed for the con already? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm making lists and I've pushed all the right shirts to one end of the rod so I don't wear them between now and then, lol. Can't pack the painting kit because I'm in panic paint mode right now trying to see if I can finish a second entry, lol. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Eyed Monsty Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I used what they sent me. Gatorade Orange Powder, with Polyethylene Glycol mixed in. GEM 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I was given a shopping list and pointed towards Target. Had to get a pill laxative, the powdered laxative, and gas relief pills. Plus the 64 ounces of Gatorade. The “14 daily doses” on the powdered stuff had me sad. As for packing for the con, nope! I mean, clothes are easy. Painting kit is still in use. Ribbons are leftovers. Tablet computer is day-of. I suppose I could start selecting basing materials to share and get that packed. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
