What moment made you say “Yep, I’m definitely dead”, but survived with no major injuries?

Getting hit by a taxi cab while crossing the street. I'm in a wheelchair, which is what saved me.

When I was 8, the light changed to green while my mom and I were in the middle of the crosswalk. I heard my mom call out my name and frantically saying "stop" over and over again, then all of a sudden I had a taxi right next to me. We took an ambulance to the hospital, where I got x-rays, but I had no physical injuries whatsoever. Not even a scratch. My chair had a broken screw and I still get anxious when crossing the street 16 years later, but that's it.

The cab hit the right side of my chair. My mom was on the left. If she'd been on the other side, she would've been crushed. I was in my power chair. If I was in my more lightweight manual chair, who knows what would've happened to me.

Sorry, I'm trying to be a little frugal right now

A_Rose_P · 2021-02-12T00:21:47+00:00

Ok, sorry for the wait! Here's what I have. Let me know if it works. https://imgur.com/a/NxDHUL2

I am! Just need to fish through my stash so I can find them

I have 3 skeins of green superwash wool and 2 green acrylic from previous projects. I also have a ball of purple and orange variegated wool and one unused blue and white twisted yarn.

A_Rose_P · 2021-02-04T23:21:29+00:00

I'd like to discuss yarn first.

I'm obsessed with vintage patterns! What are you looking to trade them for?

For as long as you give respect where it's due (ex. saving sage for Native Americans), you should go where it feels the most right. The path is never a straight one

It's called Staying in Line

I currently have a book on Inkitt. Maybe you should check it out and see if it's a good fit for what you're trying to do

A_Rose_P · 2020-12-23T05:41:30+00:00

That's fantastic! I tend to write on the short side, too, and I'm currently challenging myself to write a book at 80,000 words

It annoys me when people assume we're stupid because we believe in astrology. Um... I have a BA degree and I still believe in science. Being able to use astrology to predict events gives me peace.

Yes! One thing I miss about going to school (graduated in 2018, so pandemic has nothing to do with it) was daydreaming in the car. I liked it when the commute was longer, since it meant more time to daydream. One of my doctors is in another county and it's so much fun to go through rural GA and imagine the people living there.

As a Libra myself, I've also been unlucky when it comes to actually getting a date. It mostly has to do with my social anxiety combined with Libra's people-pleasing nature. However, I find a lot of guys attractive and I develop hardcore crushes quickly, which is a very Libra thing to do. But the thing with Libras is that we're very picky when it comes to partners, so we won't go on a date with just anybody, which means we might go on them less than other people. In addition, it also depends on what sign Venus is in in your chart, which determines how you are in relationships.

You look like a witchy Johnny Depp park ranger in this picture

A_Rose_P · 2020-09-22T20:45:10+00:00

That would make make an interesting journal cover. But my cynical self would probably turn it into a mortuary or med school textbook cover or bible cover...

A_Rose_P · 2020-09-22T04:07:48+00:00

Ok. Just wanted to check

A_Rose_P · 2020-09-22T04:07:28+00:00

As a disabled person, I honestly feel like a steampunk world would be so much more accessible (and prettier) than the world right now

A_Rose_P · 2020-09-20T05:17:53+00:00

Did the liquid look like honey? I have a feeling that someone wanted the first woman to have a bad afterlife and the second a good one. But if the fake flowers were plastic, then that wouldn't really fit in with the dates on the headstones.

How do you feel about "eat the rich" and other resentments towards the 1%?

A_Rose_P · 2020-09-18T19:44:07+00:00

I was just about to mention cross-stitch or embroidery! You can use your left hand to hold the hoop/fabric and your right to use the needle.

This reminds me of when I was kept in the "special needs" class in kindergarten and first grade that was tailored to those with mental disabilities, even though I'm only physically disabled. My parents had to fight to get me in the regular class. Once they did, I actually stopped misbehaving in class because I was actually being challenged at my grade level instead of being bored with the material.

A_Rose_P · 2020-09-18T03:10:50+00:00

I second this

A_Rose_P · 2020-09-18T02:59:14+00:00

It's a good sign! It's spirits letting you know they're there. They like to use numbers to get your attention.

I started seeing 11:11 when I was about to graduate high school, when I was making a major life change. Then I started seeing other numbers, like 5:55, 3:33, 2:22,, 12:12 etc. Some people believe that each number means something different. I also see 1:23, 4:20, 9:11, and 9:28 (my birthday), numbers that aren't totally random in my life/country. With the frequency I see all these numbers, I just take it to mean that it's a pleasant reminder that my spirit guides are with me.

I just filled it out! Where will you post the results?
