  • I haven’t had boxed Mac and cheese in a while, usually Costco’s premade is a favorite at parties so I have also given up trying to make Mac and cheese myself.

    Cracker Barrel and the Walmart brand equivalent have been my family’s favorite for the rare occasion where we make boxed Mac and cheese. I grew up with Kraft, but now it makes me feel sick for a while after. I tried the Cheetos one with some friends once when it was new, expecting it to be terrible, and it really upset our stomachs, I was also pretty grossed out at how neon orange it was.











  • I have been working on costume parts, my process with split pieces is first assemble with painter’s tape to get a test fit, disassemble, super glue the pieces together with locktite gel control, sand with 80 and then 220 grit, paint with rustoleum 2-in-1 sandable filler, fill in gaps and seams with bondo glazing spot putty, sand the entire thing with 220, and then repeat paint-bondo-sand until I am happy with the surface before I move onto actually painting.

    Basically this process.

    If I don’t want to paint something, and don’t care too much about layer lines, I’ll usually use super glue and then a wood burner to melt the edges together. It isn’t the prettiest, but it works fine.


  • This helped a ton for me, I opened a second savings account for travel/vacation savings and I have thought about opening another checking to separate “fun” money from expenses money.

    Some banks make it really easy, where you can freely create sub-accounts for each bucket of money, but it seems like a majority make you apply for each account. In my experience, the application gets instantly approved, but it makes it seem harder and scarier than it really should be.
