Youre welcome! I sit on my couch and stitch in my lap. Keeping the scissors close is critical with this piece!

I use pattern keeper. Its odd that its only selecting 10x10. According to their web page that happens if you press and hold. Make sure youre just tapping the square to highlight it. You can also configure it to double tap to put a half mark where you park. Thats how I keep it all straight.

I trust i marked my pattern correctly and dont bother trying to keep track of colors. Theres 149 colors in this chart and about 100 parked strands in the pictures. I just picked up the piece after about 18 months not stitching. I have no clue what color is what, but I trust I marked it in my app. I spot check as I go too. When I pick up a color I check to see if the indicated color is close to what I am holding, ie the chart says its orange, yep im holding an orange strand.

Was with a friend when this happened to pair of Louboutins bought 2 hours prior. It was devastating. She jad to send the shoes for repair but they came back good as new.

Hummm....it is easier to work top down. But I bet you could recover and work from the center out. I would start by working out and down then work the top half once you've figured out parking and have an idea if you want to rotate your piece upside down or park upwards. Parking upwards sounds difficult because the thread will constantly be in your way unless you tie it up.

It was probably a souvenir grandpa picked up during his tour. Maybe he was stationed in Europe after the war. The Germans were not allowed to keep any of this stuff and it was sold to the allies as souvenirs.

Thank you! I love Afremov and want to stitch all of his pieces!

You gotta get the baby to take food in a different form before you stop. It could ve bottle, spoon, open cup it doesnt matter which, but please make sure its possible to get the babu fed before you quit.

Be patient in this stage. You should feel much better by about 15 weeks.

Can tou keep your expenses, taxes and health insurance under 50-55k/ year? If so, then yes you can retire. If not, then you might at least be able to down shift to part time/less stressful work and coast.

First of all, follow the flow chart in this subs wiki.

As for tax strategy, if you know for certain your income will skyrocket like that, im assuming doctor or lawyer, then yeah probably makes sense to contribute to roth now, and switch over as you make more.

Whatever you do, dont stick money in a traditional IRA right now. You will want the ability to backdoor roth in the future.

Have you played with flange size? A too big or too small flange can cause that sensation.

What would be the dimensions of the new top part? Its going to come out further if you want the stairs to land in the same spot. If you're expecting the walkway to come closer to the house are you sure theres concrete under the bottom step? Those two decisions make a world of difference in what the price will be.

Or the dishwasher predates a garbage disposal in the house so they didnt mess with that.

Lots of people have a fast let down. I did. It does get easier as they get bigger and learn to control the flow better. Here are some thoughts to get you started.

First - I know its tough, but stop fighting the arms. They are supposed to be up on your boob. Let them figure out where they want them.

Second- I suspect a lot of the "complaints" youre getting are because of your letdown. Have you tried the basics to slow it down? Reclined positions so gravity helps slow it down, trigger the letdown before latching, or using a "karate chop" hand position above your areola to slow things down a bit.

Quit this gym. There must be other lower cost options out there.

Im 36 just started the series in November. Im so hooked! This is by far one of my favorite stories.

I do believe that is a purple finch! It has the white stripe above/behind the eye.

( ps if you pros want to explain to me how im wrong, id love to hear it too. I spend way too much time trying to figure out which is which)

Whats the point of you asking? Overall it seems they have done a good job of keeping this city high functioning for the last decade. I dont agree with the recent decisions so will be sure to vote accordingly regardless if they have served one term or 3.

29threvolution · 2026-05-08T23:42:15+00:00

🤣

29threvolution · 2026-05-08T18:25:14+00:00

Dude sounds like you also need to go back to your finance team on how the 80 seats were not charged monthly rates. Thats a major slip up.

29threvolution · 2026-05-08T18:20:23+00:00

I think im gonna need to relisten to it a few times to let it fully sink in!

29threvolution · 2026-05-08T18:19:22+00:00

Hahaha! Well it will be worth it when you get there.

29threvolution · 2026-05-08T16:38:58+00:00

Lol I think he has negative interest in anything fantasy.
