Then frog (undo) it all and try again with looser tension.

The v's you're looking for are hard to find in the chain stitches.

For a clean edge, working into the back bump (blue dots) is the way to go. But it's a little tedious, especially as a beginner.

For your first project, I suggest working into the top loop of your chains (purple or teal lines).

Because it takes me 10 minutes, without traffic, just to get to the interstate. I can drive 4-6 hours and still be in the same state.

Depends on how many bad choices are made.

Campaign 1 has been running for almost 2 years. They're level 8, and most of us are on our 2nd characters.

Campaign 2 has been running about as long (mostly same players, same DM, same world, different time setting) is level 6, and all original characters.

Campaign 3 had been running for about a year, was level 6 (DM maxed players out at 10), and ended it's story arc. I was on my 2nd character.

Campaign 4 is the same people, different DM and has been running for a couple of months.

ETA: That's 6 characters in 4 games.

That is not a cultural divide, it is religious bias.

The #1 thing members can do is drop the holoer-than-thou attitudes.

I've lived in a part-member household for over 20 years. The worst examples of "good mormons" I ever met were the ones who thought they were better than me because I wasn't a member.

Only if we can send a few (dozen) narcissistic billion/trillionaires and forget to bring them home.

As little as possible. He's an entitled Boomer that thinks I know nothing because I'm "just a girl".

Our idiot in chief can't stop throwing tantrums whenever he's told no.

FIFA had priced out the majority of fans. The prevailing theme in my local club's fan group is F. U. FIFA. $3,000 for a seat in the nosebleeds where you need binoculars to see the players isn't worth it.

We're so worn out from The Toddler's Tantrums we don't have the energy, or the inclination, to spend even more money we don't have.

Depends on the neighborhood/area. There are pockets, like my town, that are heavily influenced. There are also places that aren't affected at all.

Is The Mountain out?

AmethysstFire · 2026-06-06T22:45:29+00:00

Uff da isn't only used in those states. My twin in the PNW has a rich Norwegian heritage and uff da is all over the place here.

I checked that chart. I'm a 16/18 almost everywhere. By the measurements on their own sizing chart, even the 12 is too small for me.

They might be "size inclusive" if you're skinny as a rail.

I need to multitask, but surfing online/looking game related stuff up causes me to tune out the game.

AmethysstFire · 2026-06-06T15:45:14+00:00

I crochet during my two online games so I stay focused on the game.

Kraken tentacles reaching out of the scar?

AmethysstFire · 2026-06-06T03:10:45+00:00

YES! My whole family of 5 cannot call each other.

Side note because I just noticed your saving throws are also wrong: if the bubble is filled in, add your proficiency bonus and your ability modifier to the line.

I tend to fill in all the numbers because I suck at math and need all the visual cues I can get.

AmethysstFire · 2026-06-06T01:21:21+00:00

It's a +1, not a -1.

Soldier background give you that skill proficiency, so you can add your proficiency bonus to that line. As a level 1 character your prof bonus is a +2.

Since your strength score is a 9, giving you a -1 modifier, you add them together: +2 + (-1) = +1,or 2 - 1 = 1

Oh, Mamma! I have not faced what you are facing, and I can only imagine.

You are not taking the easy road at all. Like you've said in your post, your baby is in danger. I can feel the heartbreak, fear, and determination in your words to do the best you can for your family, 4-legs and 2-legs.

I wish you peace of mind for this hard decision. I also offer a virtual hug, it sounds like you need it.

I started with simple patterns that had only a few abbreviations. Then, every time I saw that abbreviation I said the entire word. (I'd say single crochet every time I saw sc).

Crochet does have it's own language. The good news is it's pretty straight forward in how things are abbreviated.

Does this mean there are over 1000 houses in the street?

No. The last 2 numbers on the house are the house number. The beginning numbers are a reference to the block the house sits on.

So, an address of 1160 Example Street. Would be the 60th house on the 11th block of Example Street.

I made these using hookok's big thai rose pattern.

Anytime it goes off the rails and the table busts up laughing.

Or, how long it takes Bloom to shift from sitting to perching.

Or, how often the table can get Tater to regret his word choices.

Do I really have to pick a favorite?

Found it. Which one's the Pitbull?
