  • We have a VR system set up in our living room. I don’t even want to talk about how long it took me to figure out the receivers were making a steady, high pitched noise. There are 4 of them and they are situated near the ceiling.

    I hear it from a lot of things when it’s quiet enough. Clock radios, tvs, monitors, my pugmill, heaters. There was a noisy power strip with a flashing one-off switch that I’m still convinced was going to kill someone.

    I DON’T know anything about electricity - so mostly it makes me anxious that my house is going to burn down. I have bad enough hearing loss that I have to use closed captions on my TV - but it IS mostly because deep voices are extremely muddled. I’m surprised a bit by how many “not really” answers I see.




  • Good eye! I appreciate the feedback!

    Giving my clients what they want is very important to my work. Grandma was quite the avid crocheter, but the artwork I drew up using the center… Stitched(?) Crochet work had a rather unfortunate resemblance to a butthole. Tattoos are permanent and memorial tattoos are very personal - it’s more important to make them attractive and meaningful than factually correct. I would hate to have someone mention something like “hey that looks like a butthole!” thinking they were being funny and cause a client to feel embarrassed or upset about their work. It is hurtful to both their self image and their memories of the person they got the tattoo for.
