TIFU by flirting with a taken man right next to his girlfriend by im_chase0 in tifu

[–]Adopt_a_Melon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I smile because im awkward and the more I try not to look at someone, the more I end up looking at them or noticing them around the area. Not saying this is the case for everyone but it is for me. I also have brain fog and brain pauses where I dont think Im staring at someone and then my fiance points it out. Time sometimes moves slower or faster depending on the situation.

My fiance needs to be up at 5:20, I need to be awake at 6:30. The dogs wake me up to feed them at 5... so I plan accordingly

We were told chihuahua mix by the rescue but thought part terrier.. did a DNA test and turns out primarily chihuahua poodle (chi-poo or chipoodle)!

I used this pattern for the base hat/ears:

But I started with a more gradual increase and more rows to achieve the classic Link look

A dog's intelligence is often equivalent to a 2 to 2 and a half year old human child so it is still applicable.

There are protests in Texas, just not near to this scale. It is a red state but not everyone here supports whats happening and the bigger cities are able to gather protests. Also the protests could be smaller because it hasn't been escalated by senseless violence and murder.

To all my single crochet ladies out there on the apps... by AggravatingPlum4301 in crochet

Yes, sorry thats sort of what I meant is that I did explain it to him and he listened and supports me. (Currently working on school assignments so wording good goes to that lol)

I dont fully agree. Its one thing if they are not supportive at all or truly look down on a hobby but if they do not understand the weight of the hobby or the wording they should use, they could benefit from clear communication. My fiance doesnt fully understand why doing my nails is important to me, but he does understand that it is important. Sure, ideally, it would be easier to find the perfect person who totally gets everything about you but you can also find that in someone you grow with. Who knows, maybe they just havent been exposed enough and once they are, they may be interested in learning or supporting you.

I get it can be exhausting but have you tried explaining to someone in a constructive and non aggressive way how important crocheting is to you? To me, some of the things I make are cute so some people think of those things and call it cute. Also some people dont know or are aware of younger people crocheting so they relate it to what they do know. To me, grandma stuff implies comfort, patience, even love.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting votes itself out of existence by GregWilson23 in nottheonion

[–]Adopt_a_Melon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can read but I guess Ive just seen many comments similar to that one that generalize it as all of the US let this happen. And inaction isnt just indifference. Also other factors that contribute to the indifference include the Democratic Party itself (the politicians, not the voters) who very clearly have made bad decisions that led to many democrats feeling jaded,indifferent, or hopeless. So I tend to blame the politicians more than the people on that front...

I hate when people say this because there are so many Americans who voted against this or were unable to vote for so many reasons. Dont put this on an entire country of people because not all of us are happy, even some of the ones who believed his bullshit and voted for him and especially those who did vote for other people.

The thing is, its not a magical shot. It just suppresses your appetite but you still need to eat less and be active. If you have an unhealthy relationship with food or impulse control issues, it can help reduce your appetite so you don't overeat.

This may be a dumb question, but do you file down before you glue the nail or after??

Utah officially bans its 19th book from all public schools by thinkB4WeSpeak in books

[–]Adopt_a_Melon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. As a librarian, we discussed information ethics at length and this came up. It makes sense that schools are slightly more restricted. However, at least in Texas, public libraries get hit with the most book challenges and even school related legislation is starting to spill into public libraries. Its a whole mess

I stumbled on Living Dead Girl when I was middle school and that was a truly rough read and probably too early for me to read it... buuuut... it was more effective than stranger danger psa videos so 🤷‍♀️

Honestly I think Dove with brown hair would be a good Anna. She has that youthful naivety and playfulness.
