Bert, a little feedback on the stands:

the upper-most tier feels a little crowded, even if all 8 tips in it are narrow. Perhaps that level would be best suited by 6 or 7 holes, instead. The middle tier is spaced nicely, though particularly wide tips can have issues with the side of the top tier. Bottom section is a nice layout, with the tips at the corners, but the holes could be spaced just a hair farther apart to accommodate fat-bottoms/flatmouths/wide donuts better.

Overall, very cool piece of work :) Pics to follow shortly . . .

And the stand is in use :) Still haven't found exactly where I want to put it, but it's nice to finally have my Trippies out where I can see and easily get at them

No clue kill. Doc doesn't know either cause I have no known allergies. Bottom line I'm gonna have to spend a small fortune on a allergy doc.

It's weird how we can develop allergies at any age. I wonder if you can figure it out by checking anything that you've used today that was new or different?

A new deodorant, new detergent, new lotion, new cologne, new eliquid? Maybe you can take some benadryl in the meantime :unsure:

And to think this addiction started because of two little tips, my first two Trippies. I wanted to try them out and they were still pretty hard to get at the time, so I picked up a couple in the classifieds. One from Mike, hiding on the second tier just behind the mock uranium, and the second from Keeno, the little inferno flatmouth in the front left. After that it just started a steady stream of Paypal payments to Bert :lol:

Tj, I have an on again off again allergy to dawn dishsoap. It's currently off so I can use it right now, but I have 7 to 10 year stints where my hands swell and look like I have chemical burns if I try to use it. I recently got to add Gain laundry detergent to my allergy list even though I used it with no issue for like 10 years. We can gain these allergies at any time, no matter how long you've used a product. So check whats in everything you have used on or near your face and talk to your allergist about those ingredients 1st. You could also probably figure it out yourself by eliminating all products you currently use on your face and add them back one at a time to see which one is giving you problems.

ok Bert. I officially hate you. well. not really but I do. I just maxed out my CC's at Hoosier. When I saw those tips on my big screen, there were three that I really had to have. there were so many purties. I got one more too cause I worried that I would regret it if I didn't. and there's one more I really WANT, but I'm tapped.....

anyone else here snag some? I noticed some missing that I didn't buy :oops:

the fishy is gone. I didn't get that one, so someone did....fess up!!!

will have to post pics when they come in cause theyre off the site now and I didn't copy them when I was in the mad rush to buy. it was like a Bert sale night for me! woo hoo

Thought its time I check in with the tripsters. Been lurking everyday, just not saying anything. We almost have all of dads stuff settled assuming I don't owe his bills because there was no estate and the will went missing. I still have to plant his headstone and get his personal effects back from evidence at the police station, get the ashes i kept out to keep handled, and a few things left to do with his bike, but it won't take all day anymore. A couple hours a day will see it all done.

Unfortunately now my mom has a giant hole in her mouth that might be cancer. Either way, the doctors won't treat it if she won't quit smoking and she's refusing to quit or even switch to a nic free vape. She says shed rather die. I'm afraid I may see them both go this year. Most of the time I'm ok, but once or twice a day I get this sudden realization like I've been slapped in the back of the head that oh crap, this is real and I'm not dreaming it. Then I hyperventilate for about 5 minutes and then I go back to being okay again.

My husband is planning a vacation to Missouri at the end of this week, but I know he'll want to get drunk while we're there and I just don't like him when he's drunk. So it could turn out to be a really crappy excuse for a vaca. Well see. Lol

amber....my goodness. I'm so sorry for more bad news for you. But, Missouri for vacation? are you sure about that? sounds awful. you should go to Hawaii. or somewhere nice. We have this place in Mass. called SnowFarm. you can stay there for 5-7 days and take an art class. I've taken two there. one, a Sumi-e class. taught by a real live Japanese person, seemed to be an expert in her field. and the other a Raku firing class. also an excellent teacher. they've got all kinds of classes. glass blowing. bead work. painting framing felting. you name it! google them. the food is wonderful and wholesome. beautiful country surroundings.

really. let hubby go to Misery and you go somewhere that will feed your soul.

i was just the opposite for the last couple of days, deemer (turtle? fish? turtle! no, fish!). both are really nifty pieces, i think. hope bert or freddy or someone tells us who made what pieces on the sale (several i can't tell since i'm still pretty new to their styles). bert: could you tell me who made these if you get a chance (especially the fish & the pulled taffy orange-ish one)?

i thought i was so excited/happy/content w/phishy & the blue gleamy one until i read damselle being worried about missing out on getting a piece (or pieces) she liked, which brought up my own issues w/trippies being left behind. <sigh> so you see, i really didn't have a choice but to look at the site one more time :D & i found this pulled taffy shaped bit. i think it's neat!

ok, when you go to the trippy page without logging in, all the trippies are still there, so I was able to get pics. here's what I got, in the order that I snagged them. I'm a little embarrassed by my greed....please don't judge.
