I swear that wasn’t me talking. That was grown-up me… somewhere in the distant future. Not young me where I’m only in my mid-40’s.

if you are lucky like me, that “grown-up you” will keep watching and waiting, and then finally give up, back his bags, and shake his head as he heads out the door, realizing that he is never going to be able to take up residence in your house.

Yeah. He gets pretty loud sometimes. Especially when it comes to financial responsibilities. Gosh… I kinda miss the days when I’d just live paycheck to paycheck, buying whatever I felt like. But no, grown-up me is all “You have to save your money. If you ever want to get out of this crappy neighborhood, you’ll listen to me.” He’s right, of course. But I hate that he’s right.

You can try Inventables.
Glowfordge uses them too.

I watched it over 5 days (2 per day) … it is a lot easier to keep everything in your head that way, rather than stretching it out over 10 weeks 
I wonder if they’ll drop them all on us at once next year too.

The ones we have here vary by the part of town. (The ritzy side charges more for everything ) so if there is more than one around, like the song says… you better shop around. Ha! And check back regularly…stock changes pretty regularly.

@PlGHEADED: no kidding. It IS PLG with lowercase L. And here I thought you just had a self-deprecating username all this time.

Join my club, Tom. I’m JUST now beginning to try materials other than PG. Found a $1 photo frame at Michaels and put a masking on it…had to guess at the settings, but did measure the thickness. It engraved some text just fine, but the design I hand drew on it and set to score did OK but in a few places just burned through to the other side.
I just ordered some Baltic birch from Prime, so my education continues. This will all make me appreciate the ease of use of PG even more than I already do.

See, I figure that’s exactly how I’ll feel as well! But I’ve got to find out!

No St Vincent dePaul stores around the midwest but we have habitat for humanity that has lots of similar materials…
you might be surprised, they’re definitely in some parts of the midwest; in my experience they’re not a place to go for materials, though, more thrifty / goodwill-y. i’m sure some locations specialize, though.
Not so much in Oklahoma maybe. You need a greater concentration of Catholics. Unless things have really changed there in thirty years.
