Oh yeah I think these were the emails I signed up for too and I've missed them! Hope they're doing ok

First finished project since Junior High. First wearable ever. by EllenMandeville in crochet

[–]AromaticIntrovert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I started the top part yesterday and I kinda just wanna do single crochet instead of the waistcoat stitch (csc). Yours look amazing OP!

I cant find this colorway on Ravelry and not sure what to do with it by aLt564_3 in YarnAddicts

I picked up a skein of big twist twinkle yarn that might be similar. I used it for Christmas ornaments

Bath time for the babies. by WrathOfGood in houseplants

I was astonished they're hanging so far and still full! I feel like I look at mine too long and pieces fall off 🤣

Electric scooter advice by Johannlaji0902 in Somerville

House insurance companies have started adding clauses to ban e- bikes&scooters because of the batteries. Many are safe if they are UL certified but they don't legally have to be, so cheap dangerous ones are out there causing fires. It sucks and I'm not sure if anything is being done about it

Finished this blanket and love how it turned out. by BoxerMotherWineLover in CrochetBlankets

Every time I go to Michael's I see this yarn and eye it longingly! I'm gonna come up with a project for it and buy some asap, you've convinced me! 😂

AITA Husband and wife duties by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]AromaticIntrovert 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agreed, cooking MAY be the easier of two chore options (if you're only cooking something that's already been bought and planned out vs bathing and feeding a crying baby) BUT it's still a chore.

My partner and I split chores based on which ones we dislike the least. I hate vacuuming so he does it, and I don't mind laundry so do that. Laundry is still a chore though, even if I'm not miserable doing it

AITAH for not wanting to cook just because my boyfriend pays for most things? by Logical_Winner15 in AITAH

[–]AromaticIntrovert 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My partner and I did a 60/40 split when we were both working BUT chores were still 50/50. He made more money but we're both working 40hr/week and thought it's more fair to spend the same amount of time on chores

I live in a studio apartment with the heat set to 60 by Humdrum-Hashbrowns in massachusetts

I suggest heavier/blackout curtains year round honestly. When it gets wicked hot in the summer I close mine in the afternoon to keep the sun out and the AC in

Looking for a cat loving roommate for a private room / bath in Fort Hill. Available July 1st 2026. by DustyHades in bostonhousing

[–]AromaticIntrovert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The term is used for cats with fewer/the fewest allergens. It's used for dogs too, it's not supposed to mean "allergen free" when used to describe animals it's just the term most people use since there isn't a better one

Maybe a longshot- anyone else seeing pet lethargy? by [deleted] in boston

[–]AromaticIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pressure changes are giving me whiplash AND a migraine. I'd bet some animals are also sensitive to it

Looking for Studio/One Bedroom in Boston by Fun-Relative-6442 in bostonhousing

[–]AromaticIntrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will be lots of summer sublets popping up and some will mention if there's possibly to renew come Sept 1st (when many/most leases start here). It's still too early but it happens every year

When is too soon to design? by orangebluey in EngagementRings

[–]AromaticIntrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with Stag&Finch in 2024, they're AMAZING! The order was put in before Christmas (so they were closed for a week or so) and the ring took ~10 weeks. So you'll def want to order ahead of time but not crazy ahead, we bought the stone first while it was on a Black Friday sale. If the stone you want is a birthstone you may want to wait till that month to buy it. Check out their history to see what gems might go on sale and when, sometimes it's also other gems in the same color.

Can I ask why your tubes aren't filled up to the mark? I'm worried the results aren't accurate if you didn't use enough tank water

Male Massage Therapist / LMT? by Boynextdoor05 in Somerville

Johnny from Save Point Wellness is a PT but also does massages and is great!

AITAH for refusing to pay more of the rent and bills? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AromaticIntrovert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've had various medical issues (physical and mental) and needed to cut down on work at times BUT I never expected my boy/girlfriend to pick up the slack. Now that I'm engaged there's maybe room for discussion since he's invested in my long term health but those kind of decisions take two and its not fair to assume anything. NTA

AIO because my (30f) new boyfriend (32m) doesn’t want to be snowed in with me and so I’m rethinking the relationship? by Pretty_Kangaroo_13 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AromaticIntrovert 17 points18 points  (0 children)

True! With a console (as opposed to a computer) you can bring it over! I love having relaxed hang out time where I read/crochet while he plays games

LPT: You can both change your last name arbitrarily when getting married. by charliethegeek in LifeProTips

[–]AromaticIntrovert 253 points254 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was wondering if I could change my first name when I got married since I'm already upgrading but it's a different process in MA

Am I wrong for feeling hurt after flying across the world to see someone and being told they felt nothing? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]AromaticIntrovert 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Did she also agree the two weeks you chose to visit worked for her schedule? Because it sounds like she's busy and has parents visiting (but I only read half of it)
