30ish years ago, I burned my own screens using this red film that you would cut with an xacto knife and peel off the parts you didn't want. Omg it was so tedious. We were manually doing the job of a modern Cricut.
About 5 years ago I wanted to do a project but no longer had any of my old gear. Bought a screen online and for sure bought the upgrade for them to burn the art on it for me. So worth it. I was so tickled that that service even existed.
Not only hemorrhoids but you can also get diverticula from straining too hard too often. They don't go away once they form, and can become infected (diverticulitis) which is most unpleasant. Pain like kidney stones or appendicitis.
Yes, I wish we had done this then as well. I also would tell myself what my migraine triggers are, so that I could try to avoid getting the worst one ever the day after the wedding. I started the honeymoon on hard mode, and didnt get to enjoy the initial travel. It took a couple days to subside and then honeymoon was great.
This would make a great cross stitch pattern. Like one of those floral circles grandma might have on her wall... but less saccharine, more contemplative.
Outlets definitely have lesser quality products made just for them + a few of the real thing that are seconds, closeouts, or just leftover for whatever reason. I worked at a Cole Haan outlet in the 90s. Quality was variable then too.
I'm sorry, I'm hung up on you saying election officials would track down the voter to confirm their intent. And you mentioned you volunteered or worked in elections possibly in not-the-US. In the US (or at least in my state) ballots are anonymous. That was why such a fuss was made in 2000 over trying to determine what the voter intended if a ballot had a "hanging chad". They couldn't just track down the person to confirm, and the margins were close enough to call a recount but not for a do-over. It was election purgatory.
I feel like we did a trial run for this in March of 2020. It didn't go as hoped.
