I'm absolutely ecstatic that your senses are coming back Emmy! I'd watch your videos whether or not they're about food, but I know how much you love to eat and how gifted you are at communicating what things taste like, so what a blessing for yourself and for us that your taste is coming back. Meanwhile my crow brain is very satisfied by shiny ball content.

There's a tool that jewelers, leather & ceramic workers use called a burnisher. It is used to polish metal, leather & ceramics.

If you really are capable of filling a bowl of these just for decorating, you then have a huge amount of potential being absolutely wasted. 1: One ball at your desk or beside your bed is fine. 2: Just buy marbles and pebbles to decorate if you really feel like doing so. It does require an eye for decoration but it will look even better. 3: Maybe you should learn an instrument instead.

Emmy, before your taste comes back, you must try pumpkin puree. I'm not kidding, it's one of the best things you'll ever taste and it'll only be possible right now.

@_arman_ Жыл бұрын

Is that because the flavour would be too strong with full range of taste/smell?

@CokeAMor Жыл бұрын

@@_arman_ no, it's absolutely boring and unappetizing normally, but with the covid variant that saps taste, it somehow makes pumpkin puree amazing. It's one of the few things that actually has a taste at all and I'm going to spread this awareness, because it's the only time a person will ever get to taste this. It's also one of the few silver linings to covid.

This is kinda uncanny. A few days ago, I started polishing some stuff around my house and thought it was very therapeutic, I can spend hours just polishing stuff, making them shine is so satisfying... I thought I was a bit weird for developing that feeling, as it became almost addictive. And now you post that video... I NEED to start making my little ball as soon as possible lol thanks.

"Embrace the struggle" ... I had a teacher in high school who I was NOT very fond of... he and I rarely saw eye to eye and I in fact often disobeyed him simply because I didn't like him or his class. Many of my classmates felt the same way, walking into his room felt like walking into boot camp some days. One day a peer of mine shouted "This class sucks!" In the middle of his lesson, to which he looked up, smirked, and said "Well then embrace the suck. Enjoy the suck." Now, in my 20s and studying to become a teacher myself, I smile when I think of him and recite to myself "Embrace the suck" or "enjoy the suck" when life starts to... well... suck! I don't entirely agree with all of his methods, but I think fondly of him now. In his own way, he was making us all better adults and although I have forgotten many of his lessons, I know one of his lessons I will always remember.

Dear Emmy. I made a similar ball a few years ago when trying to make dryer balls. I scrunched leftover foil into a ball shape and left it in my dryer each time. Sometimes they didn’t do well at all but I have a few balls that are just beautiful. I suppose it is the same principal. The tossing in the clothes dryer imitated the hammer tapping. But is much easier and was fun to find them xxx
