Honestly, I was totally against switching to tubes for the longest time. I mean, I figured if the bucket method worked for years, why bother changing anything? But after helping on a job that used the new system, it totally changed my mind. The difference in cleanup is huge, and my clothes don't get ruined anymore. It just makes the whole day less of a hassle, you know?

Totally feel you @lisataylor, the prep work is honestly ridiculous. Mine gets completely stuck on lamp cords or even a single sock, which it then drags around. The marketing really sells this idea of effortless help that just doesn't match the daily hassle.

Wow, that burning notebooks comment hits hard. I had a friend who did something similar with her old paintings. She got really frustrated with her style and felt stuck, so one weekend she took every canvas from her closet and just threw them in the dumpster behind her apartment. She said it felt freeing right then, but a couple years later she told me she really wishes she had kept at least one, just to see how far she's come. It's like wiping out your own proof that you can get better. Do you ever wish you had that old stack back now, just for that reason?
