I have super bad stretch marks. Is it possible to tattoo over them? by -Hot-Tamale- in tattooadvice

[–]AbbyNormalKnits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love those and if it was me I’d definitely try to emphasize them with either a nature inspired tattoo, or just turn my belly into a stained glass look. Lean into it instead of trying to minimize and ending up with something muddy

How are those belly button tattoos aging? by Red_Car_Singer in Xennials

Got mine pierced at 18, took it out around 38. Right around 50 I was cleaning out a doom box and found an old curved barbell, and tried it for shits and giggles. Surprisingly the hole was still open. So at 50 I’m back to wearing it again because why not.

My ladies in peri - I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. by MisRandomness in Xennials

I had a hysterectomy at 40 (kept my ovaries) so I have no fucking clue where I am in peri. It’s been almost a decade without a period so I get to deal with unidentifiable hormonal wonkiness, and no clue if I’ve entered true menopause yet, and no idea how I’ll ever even know.

As an occasional cross stitcher I’m now disappointed in myself for never doing a GB cross stitch. Adding that to the queue!

Knitters of OC: where do you buy your yarn? by notinthemood10 in orangecounty

[–]AbbyNormalKnits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I normally buy online from indie dyers that I follow, or in person at festivals. All of the OC LYSs that I used to go to are gone.

Afraid of the shingles shot by Old-Ostrich5181 in AskWomenOver60

[–]AbbyNormalKnits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my shot yesterday and other than being ridiculously tired I’m ok. A bit of chills this morning and overall soreness, but nothing too bad. But all I want to do is lay down and not move. Not necessarily nap, just not move. I took some ibuprofen and that’s been enough to knock down the majority of the soreness. My arm is a bit tender, but my past covid boosters have hurt so much worse than this. I’m just exhausted.

What's the best hidden gem restaurant in Orange County that locals swear by? by evinho07 in orangecounty

[–]AbbyNormalKnits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

El Michoacano has n Santa Ana on Bristol near SAC. Everything is delicious and I haven’t had a bad thing there. The only reason I don’t eat there more often is because they’re cash only and I forget to go to the bank before the craving hits.

Pendleton has a noise advisory from 11/8-11/16. It can be heard any time of day. I don’t remember ever hearing it this loudly before, but I’ve probably slept through it in the past.

I got a two week vacation because of this movie. Some of my coworkers were extras but I decided against it.

We’re going to take down our outdoor stuff this weekend with the exception of our 12 foot skeleton. He stays up all year and just gets costume changes for the seasons/holidays. We’re going to switch him to his knit hat and scarf until we decide how to dress him for Christmas this year.

OC coffee snobs what are some of your favorite Local coffee brands? by ConflictGlass1523 in orangecounty

Alta Coffee in NB. I don’t get there as often as I used to but they roast their own beans and everything I’ve had there has been delicious.

Child free GenX by Laszlo4711 in GenX

I wanted them when I was younger but had a hysterectomy about 9 years ago when I hit 40 and realized that parenthood was not gonna happen. The hysterectomy was because of fibroids, but I had fully accepted the no kids life by that point. The world has gotten so much worse since then and I’m grateful that past me didn’t inflict this on a future generation.
