Chrome "Help Me Wite"

I'm trying to figure out how to use this "help me write" feature. 

I was having difficulty understanding exactly what the instructions meant, as the written instructions are surprisingly not that easy to understand and follow.

I found three videos on YouTube about it. 

One was terrible, but the second one got me to this point.  

Apparently it's only of use within the Chrome browser, only useful for when you're writing something within a text field on a website, like here in Blogger, for instance. Maybe in a Facebook post, if I were Facebooking from Chrome.

Cannot be used in apps like Docs, but I'm using it in Blogger, so I'll check others...

Okay, Sheets, I could access the Help Me Write in Sheets, but not in Google Docs.

Oh well. Good to know, though, if I ever need to compose something on the fly while I'm on Chrome.

Studio Project: Mica Powder Samplers on Polymer Clay


In this video we'll make samplers for a selection of mica powders. Studio Project: Mica Powder Samplers Amazon links are affiliate links. I may earn a small commission from qualifying orders. All other links are simply links to sources. I encourage you to check your local craft store, such as Michael’s, JoAnn’s, Hobby Lobby, etc, to see if they have the supplies you’re looking for. Some items may only be available online. In addition to any specific links I’ve given blow, here are some other sources I use: https://polymerclaysuperstore.com https://www.madmicas.com/ (LOVE these guys’ mica powders!) https://www.sculpey.com/ Useful Items for working with Polymer Clay: • Ceramic Tile: I recommend going to your local Lowes, Home Depot, or such, where you can just pick up one or two tiles in whatever size you want. When ordering tile online, you usually have to order tile in a multi pack, like this one: https://amzn.to/3NnoYaH which is great if you’re going to have a use for that many tiles. If not, just check out your local hardware store. • Polymer Clay Blades: https://amzn.to/4dHtr2H or https://www.sculpey.com/products/61-sculpey-super-slicer-set-w-comfort-handles?_pos=1&_sid=00dbe4e77&_ss=r&_fid=acb401ef1 • Silicone Mat: https://amzn.to/3Nlm5XM • Round Cutters: https://amzn.to/3BJ6I9i or https://www.sculpey.com/collections/products-tools/products/42-premo-graduated-cutter-set-circle • Polymer Clay • Sculpey Premo White: https://amzn.to/4h08WRI or https://www.sculpey.com/products/20-premo-sculpey • Sculpey Premo Black: https://amzn.to/4ewK4zn or https://www.sculpey.com/products/20-premo-sculpey?variant=44199350305018 • A small scrap of your choice • Mica Powders. For this project we used: • Cernit Diamond Or (Gold): https://polymerclaysuperstore.com/collections/all-cernit-powders/products/cernit-diamond-powders-gold-5g • Cernit Diamond Bleu (Blue): https://polymerclaysuperstore.com/collections/all-cernit-powders/products/cernit-diamond-powders-blue-5g • Cernit Duo Pacific Lagoon: https://polymerclaysuperstore.com/collections/all-cernit-powders/products/cernit-duo-powders-pacific-lagoon-2g • Cernit Duo Viola Fantasy: https://polymerclaysuperstore.com/collections/all-cernit-powders/products/copy-of-cernit-duo-powders-viola-fantasy-2g • Cernit Duo Lapis Sunlight: https://shop.blueberrybeads.com/cernit-sparkling-2-gr-duo-lapis-sunlight.html?srsltid=AfmBOopKLWd7_wDcWqOtzAHsrNi3XHVxSkfrbzV1nIA2uf_CKiVTVgHv • Baby Wipes: I recommend shopping your local grocery store for baby wipes, unless you need many packages of them. • Isopropyl Alcohol: I recommend getting isopropyl alcohol at your local grocery store or pharmacy. Much cheaper than ordering online. • Pasta or Polymer Clay Roller machine: https://amzn.to/4gZruS9 • Push Dispenser: https://amzn.to/4dIVKhg • Small Spray Bottles: 2 to 4 oz: https://amzn.to/4eYuQTr • An oven; toaster oven or conventional oven. https://amzn.to/3NrIXVy • Hot Pads: https://amzn.to/3BFJxNb • Silicone trivet: https://amzn.to/4eVHp1O • UV Resin: https://amzn.to/4eGvZiL • UV Lamp: https://amzn.to/483yXLL • A Gel-type Cyanoacrylate Glue, like Superglue, Gorilla Glue, etc.: https://amzn.to/4dKNmxC A huge variety of mica powders can also be found on Amazon: https://amzn.to/488nN8O

Whataburger!

 

Whataburger!
I talked about the founder of Whataburger on October 8, the date of the founder Harmon Dobson’s birthday, and one of my viewers commented that there was a new Whataburger near them; what should they try? Here is my reply:
Whataburger!
It depends on what you like! Also, some items may be different from store to store, but I like just about any iteration of a bacon cheeseburger.
They often have "limited time" offerings, and the current one of those is a "Bacon Blaze Jalapeño Double," a bacon cheeseburger with jalapeño peppers and a special sauce. They also have a "Sweet and Spicy Bacon Burger" featuring a tangy barbecue sauce.
There are several chicken sandwiches, with the chicken grilled or fried, and salads.
I see breakfast items on the menu, too.
They have shakes and malts in the standard flavors, and often have a special flavor of shakes or malts for a limited time. I believe the current limited time shake flavor is Dr. Pepper 😋 If I weren't trying to whip my blood labs back into shape, I'd go get me one of those Dr. Pepper shakes right now!
For anyone trying to mind their carbohydrates, though, one can order any sandwich "Bunless."
Check out their website at Whataburger (dot) com for more about the menu.
Whataburger also has a loyalty program, where one can order ahead, and/or earn points on purchases.
Oh, and let's not forget the merch! Whataburger has branded merchandise! Way cute stuff available in the Whataburger theme.
