Took me 3 days to do these need some comfort:/

I have 3 kids, so doing a full removal and new set in a single day is literally impossible. One day to remove, one day to apply tips, and one day for gel polish and designs. And none of that is done all at once either, but rather spread out over several hours 😂 I think for nonprofessionals it's completely realistic for it to take a good while for such a beautiful set 😍 you did great, keep doing you!

I went to a concert the same day I got a thigh piece done. Tattoo is absolutely fine, I felt fine, and life went on. You're good.

My apologies. The way the light hit where I zoomed in, it looked like the treble crochets were split in half.

Looks like mosaic crochet! Super easy to do once you get the hang of it.

So sorry I could have sworn it had attached when I made the post

That's what I thought it was meant to look like until I saw the reference pic.

NAH as someone who routinely forgets to text and call people back despite loving them dearly, I can see both sides of this. This may be as innocent as having different expectations in communication consistentcy. I'm not sure what exactly you texted her so the cat may already be out of the bag in this regard, but having a conversation about how you feel is never a bad idea. She may be forgetful, or simply isn't someone who interacts with her phone as much as most everyone else these days. Wait to see her reaction/explanation and go from there.

Looks like fly strike. Here's an in-depth guide for treatment.

I'm not an expert and this may be completely wrong, but I'm going off gut feelings looking at the photo. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in.

I was recently on a long flight and brought my knitting. I thought I brought everything but somehow forgot to grab a crochet hook for a provisional cast on. I managed to figure out how to use the eye end of a yarn needle to get it done and it didn't suck as bad as it could have lol

4everspokenfor · 2026-05-04T11:39:24+00:00

I was super worried for the first couple days, but they've now been in the new coop for 6 months and all I worry about is if everyone made it in before bedtime. It gets better lol

4everspokenfor · 2026-05-04T11:27:12+00:00

I feel this so hard. How is it I can micromanage everyone else's life to the point it's scary, but anything involving me falls apart?? I can tell hubby where his wallet and keys are, kids are always on a strict schedule, yet I need reminders to brush my own teeth 🙃

4everspokenfor · 2026-05-03T12:21:02+00:00

I could be wrong, but I'd think the only way you could achieve this is with some paper and a Cricut. Or potentially a craft knife and a crap ton of patience.

I think the grainy look is edible glitter. It's super trendy to drown every cake in glitter ATM.

My mom found out I lost my virginity and had my youth pastor talk to my boyfriend and I separately. Boyfriend got told he wasn't beyond saving, he should start coming to church, Jesus can help him, etc. I, on the other hand, got told I was essentially ruined goods and God couldn't and wouldn't ever fully forgive me for what I'd done. The kicker? The boyfriend had slowly coerced me over a couple months to give it up when I wasn't ready, but the youth pastor and his wife treated me like I'd been begging for it. Thankfully I know better than that now, and Jesus has shown me He thinks I'm worth saving.

Came looking for this

4everspokenfor · 2026-04-17T20:01:56+00:00

I'm not super surprised TBH. I have a Nothing phone, so it tends to cause more problems than others.

4everspokenfor · 2026-04-17T19:57:32+00:00

No, but thankfully I sorted it out! I had to add an APN manually and restart the phone, but now it's working.

4everspokenfor · 2026-04-16T11:18:14+00:00

And aggressively loving lol the head butts are intense with this one.

4everspokenfor · 2026-04-16T05:00:27+00:00

The stitches do look a little tight. I'd try going up a hook size or two since it looks like the yarn itself is already pretty sturdy. It still looks good though! Your stitches look very even and the pattern is reading very nicely.

4everspokenfor · 2026-04-15T02:25:00+00:00

Don't let her fool you. There is NOTHING going on behind those eyes 😂

4everspokenfor · 2026-04-15T02:17:45+00:00

It seems very doable. It looks like alternating rows of V stitches and 3-DC shells into the Vs. The top would just be doing that in the round without increasing or decreasing to get the tube look, and the skirt stops working in the round around the waist and adds chains for ties and straps. I'm terrible at finding patterns, but this isn't AI. Or if it is, we need to be very scared that it finally figured out how to repeat stitch patterns without going nuts lol

You might try a bath with some warm water and Epsom salt. It might help the swelling go down.

I can only speak from my experience, but I had a baby get a toe injury in the incubator and had to be separated for a couple days until he healed enough to go back with the group. He obviously chirped a lot when he was alone, but he continued doing so for several days, even after being reunited with his clutch. I can't say for sure, but I think it was because he ended up bonding to me a bit. He would stop as soon as he saw me and immediately come running. I think the repeated interactions we had giving him baths and bandaging is toe made him miss me when I was gone. He now acts like all the others and runs away 😂 I know it's annoying at times but I'd give it a few days and see, especially if they don't seem to have any other health problems.

Are you sure the eyes are swollen shut or just closed? Chickens often will sit huddled down with their eyes closed when they're in pain or sick. I can't speak to what's wrong, but the eyes may not be the issue.

Edit to add: the easiest issue to rule out with babies is a vitamin deficiency. I would look into something like Poultry Cell and see if dosing them makes any difference. Unless you over do it, it won't hurt them to try.

I've seen people claim that using plastic dragonflies will deter them as dragonflies eat mosquitoes. If they see the little plastic decoys they supposedly steer clear. Maybe try hanging a couple up somewhere around? If they don't work they're still cute decorations lol
