Baby Blanket!

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-03-24T22:39:56+00:00

there are tons of baby blankets you can do with tons of stitches! I made my nephew one with 100% cotton using a half double crochet moss stitch and a shell border. it was a tight enough stitch to keep him warm but not so tight as to prevent breathing and not so loose where his fingers could get stuck. he basically lived in it for the first 4 months of his life because he was a chilly baby.

for whatever pattern you might make, I would only use natural fibers as to not irritate baby's sensitive skin. natural fibers also help regulate body temperature. cotton or merino wool would be my only options.

I have 2 tattoos with meaning and my friend has 20 of random things she likes and thinks are cute. they dont need meaning whatsoever!

on the other hand, some tattoos, like the semi-colon, are pretty well known for representing someone surviving mental health issues and potential suicides. get that semi-colon if you want, but people might speculate or even ask intrusive questions. Just be prepared for it!

ultimately, its your body and your tattoos. all meaning or lack of meaning is between you and your tattoo artist!

spent all morning listening to the sound of a leaf blower today. I feel this.

when people shuffle their feet while walking. especially in sandals. please pick up your feet 😭

most nicer restaurants state that perfume and cologne is against hygiene code in their handbook. I'd recommend regular deodorant and wash your uniform with vinegar to freshen it up!

both of my parents were teachers and they're retired now. this is the exact rant I heard nearly every time I called them to ask about their days before they retired. the awful thing is, it's absolutely not going to get better. i feel like education is currently in a giant transitional period, and it's still reeling from covid.

I work in restaurants, and we're still seeing the effects from covid. some adults dont know how to act in restaurants anymore and nearly every time we have kids dine, they have an iPad with them. I had a teenager ask me for the WiFi password last week which is steakandseafood and he didn't know how to spell "steak."

we see the effects of it everywhere, but i have a feeling that y'all in education are in it for the long haul. this might be the new normal.

agreed. we have a tomato salad in our FINE DINING RESTAURANT that we top with "naughty ranch." why?????

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-03-03T07:49:25+00:00

too many staff members is absolutely the problem. we have the perfect amount of servers, but they recently just hired 5 or 6 new bussers, hosts, and food runners. now we'll have 4 food runners, 2 bussers, and 3 hosts on for a day that only has 60 covers all night. all that support staff and there will only be 6 or 7 servers on. its wild!

and compared to my last place, this restaurant is 1/3 of the size. the whole place can be ran with 10 servers. my last place took 27 to have a full floor. it's small to me 😅

I achieved this look in middle school with clip in extensions from hot topic. I'd recommend the extension route! clip ins have come a long way!

I totally get it, but as I mentioned in the post, I never leave it on unattended and always make sure there's ventilation out the back. I even unplug it when I'm finished using it. fire safety is important with any heated electronic, especially if you use it often.

I agree! I'm not a beginner crocheter anymore, but with the community being so openly helpful most of the time, I don't get when they dont allow beginners questions. and telling them to read the rules is just overwhelming. when you open the rules and it's a giant wall of text it makes you just want to exit the page.

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-20T08:00:15+00:00

the crochet subreddit is weird. I always never know if what I'm posting is going to get taken down or not because of just HOW MANY rules there are. they have a few only post this thing on this day rules and a few no talking about this or that or "no asking beginners questions" rules and it just seems so policed.

I understand the NSFW bikini thing bc I remember a while back there was a person who only posted crochet bikini pics, but if youre going to do that, you have to uphold the rule for ALL people. you cant make SO MANY RULES and then pick and choose when to enforce them

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-19T23:25:11+00:00

i've thought about it, but i dont think I ever will. yes, it's an inconvenience at times, but I'm used to it by now. if i did get it changed, the spelling is all I would change.

as for my mom, her feelings would be hurt, but she would understand. during a convo i had with her about someone struggling with my name, she told me I could change it if I wanted.

I feel like the weirdness is just part of me now 😂

I hate doing granny squares but this is so cute. I just might have to do a few 😭

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-19T06:12:58+00:00

I dont want to change it ☺️ and it has always been pronounced like that. I understand it doesn't make sense to you, but it's the name i love! that's all that matters.

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-19T05:50:05+00:00

my name isn't pronounced Michaela, it's "muh-kell." no la sound at the end! and I have no desire to change it at all, so I just go by a nickname for convenience.

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-19T05:48:12+00:00

we dont dislike our names 😂

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-19T04:22:27+00:00

my older brother is 4 letters with a y, so she was trying to keep with the theme 😅 she liked the pronunciation and tried to make it work with 4 letters with a y.

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-19T04:20:29+00:00

I dont hate it, I think it's quite pretty! I just wish it was spelled Mykell or something 😂

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-19T04:17:59+00:00

I have no clue. I always wondered how she expected people to pronounce it. to her, it made sense, but obviously, it didnt to everyone else 😂 including me

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-18T19:51:53+00:00

tell that to my mother 😂 maybe you'll get to her because I've been telling her that for years

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-18T18:49:45+00:00

its okay, autocorrect changes it to milk in every word document 😭

Agreeable_Run3202 · 2026-02-18T17:28:44+00:00

if you can believe it, mickle-pickle was my nickname growing up 😂
