I was so busy with commercial and artist neon fabrication work, that I put off my own art stuff for a few weeks, Now I am busy with art stuff while neon jobs creep back in.
My long winded way of saying, I haven't had the time to share some things I have been working on here, but more posts soon!While I am working tomorrow at Urbanglass in Downtown Brooklyn helping people make glass eggs, I wanted to offer anyone in NYC to borrow the No Kings or Antifa neon necklaces for the weekend/ week. In case there was something that people wanted to go to, and display anti facist or No Kings for people to see.
I have battery powered transformers and rechargeable batteries that power them. Just leave something of value to you if your going to borrow them so we can meet back up later next week to exchange them back.
DM me to arrange a meetup at prospect Park/ Grand Army Plaza or Urbanglass tomorrow morning or even as soon as this Friday evening.

7 surprising ways the library can help you save money – Life Kit – NPR

7 surprising ways the public library can save you money
Updated October 14, 202510:56 AM ET
By Marielle Segarra, Audrey Nguyen
This story was originally published on Oct. 16, 2023, and has been updated.
Everyone knows you can save money on books by checking them out at the library instead of buying them. But did you know that libraries can help you save on other things too?
Life Kit
How the local library can save you money
In some locations, you can borrow tools (saving a purchase at the hardware store), take free language classes and even get free tickets to local museums and attractions.
The resources that your library has to offer will depend on its size and funding, which comes in part from taxpayer dollars and donor funds. These perks are part of the public library’s mission to serve the needs of the local community, says Joan Johnson, library director at Milwaukee Public Library. “Libraries are one of the most important parts of the social infrastructure. The possibilities for how you explore are endless.”
To take advantage of these money-saving benefits, sign up for a library card, says Mychal Threets, a librarian, literacy advocate and the new host of PBS’ Reading Rainbow. Then check out the library website or simply walk into your local library and talk to a librarian.
Here are 7 surprising ways the library can help you save money.
1. Before you buy something, see if you can borrow it from the library
Libraries offer all kinds of items on loan. “Video games, musical instruments, board games. Some libraries have bakeware collections where you can get baking pans,” says Threets.
Akhila Bhat, branch manager at Harris County Public Library in Katy, Texas, says her library system has a seed library. “Patrons can pick up seeds to start a garden and drop off seeds for others to take home and plant.”
Meanwhile, libraries like the Providence Public Library in Rhode Island have tools you can check out. That includes a cordless drill, safety goggles and a laser level.
2. Reserve free tickets to local museums and attractions
In some places, you can get free or discounted tickets to local attractions in your city or town. The Nashville Public Library, for example, offers free tickets to the Country Music Hall of Fame (saving patrons $31.95 in admission fees). And library card holders in California can gain free entry to over 200 state parks, saving patrons $20 in entry fees.
3. Print out your documents at a discount
You can use the computers to print out documents like plane tickets, concert tickets or shipping labels. There’s usually a small fee, but it’s often cheaper than printing at an office supply store or a shipping center, says Threets. For example, it costs 10 cents to print a page in black and white at the Brooklyn Public Library in New York, and 26 cents at Fedex.

Top 7 advice that every parent should borrow from Sadhguru
Don’t preach values, live them Instead of giving lectures on honesty, compassion, or discipline, Sadhguru insists on embodying those values every day. Children silently observe more than they obey, and they absorb character through presence, not words. #Top #advice #parent #borrow #Sadhguru

"You want to #borrow my ID badge again?" The detective scowled at the shadow-cloaked figure. "What do you plan to #steal this time?"
"No, no. That was a one-off." Light glinted off a scythe. "I'm here for, how do you mortals put it... Ah! My day job."
"Oh." The detective stepped aside.
Shortly after, the rookie arrived, out of breath. "Sir! Are you alright?"
"Me? Yes, of course." He continued examining the corpse. "Can't say the same for this chap, though."

#MastoPrompt #borrow
@stevencudahy @poetry
#poem #poetryWrapped in borrowed jumper blue
I'm swaddled in your scent
The fibre with your form imbued
The sweetest of tormentsThough I borrowed oft from you
Each treasure was returned
But what I gave, I bade adieu
E'en though each gift was spurnedAnd unbeknownst you have it still
Though decades since bestowed
This truth revealed when I fell ill
All given, nothing owed -
TIME TRAVELLERS
My son thinks I look like a time traveller
In the hat he gave me and the suit one
Of my daughters gifted me. I’ve never
Been able to lie, so I tell him I really am
One, come from places I can’t recall,
Seen faces I can’t forget, and borrowed
Lives I’d rather not have lived before
Now and after now. I’m not sure he
Believes me. The ages carry traces
Of us all. -
“Can I #borrow some thyme?” It was the new neighbour.
“Sure... let me check my spice rack.”
“No, not the herb. Time. An hour should do.”
“You need my help for an hour?” I asked, puzzled.
“No, I just need an hour. Look, are you busy this evening?”
“Not really.”
“So let me take an hour. I’ll return it. What day are you really busy?”
“Well, I have a big meeting tomorrow. But was does that--”
“Tomorrow it is. Thank you,” he left quickly.
OK, weird neighbour. I glanced at the kitchen clock. 9:15, how could that be? It had just gone 8 when he knocked. Had I dozed off?
I spent the morning busily preparing for the meeting. I was all set when the boss came in and asked me to prepare something else.
“You must be joking! The meeting is in 20 minutes!”
“No, it’s in an hour and 20 minutes, at 12 noon. Good news, it looks like you gained an hour!”

This shows how many superfluous things people consider important and how well we are persuaded to own certain things.
Now, we mainly pass on rubbish to our children because the durability of everything has become so poor. In return, we have spent our lives acquiring much more and creating huge amounts of (problem) waste. Appreciation would help on so many levels...
