Hi @carolkean, thank you for stopping by!

Actually I do know about this community, but wasn't subscribed so I just did that!

I haven't got around to setting up the spirals yet, which is kind of wild considering:

I make the templates.

These shapers in the photo I made for our friend @owasco.
I'm not sure if she has tried them yet or not, but I know I have not gotten around to doing this myself.

My reason is pretty simple though, I am planning to move because I'm currently living in a rough part of town where peace and privacy is not something I get much of. I don't want to focus my energy on this yet because it's just too much for me and I'm ok with that for now... It's on the back burner anyway lol.

(that was my dad's parenting method, and no, I don't recommend it).

Did you hear the words "because I said so" a lot?

That's my favorite form of poor parenting, no teaching, just scolding.

Once in a while a nice little peppering of "ya dumb bastard" to add that extra special flavoring.

I feel blessed in that I always knew who the dumb ones really were ;)

And how sad... It should be a parents wish that they raise a child better than themselves, with love of course... Sometimes I think nursing homes must be where bad parents end up. They don't get better over time, usually only worse, and can never be proud of a child who grows into something better than themselves, only jealous/envious/hateful. Sad indeed.
