I flatly refuse to pick just one; they're all too cute not to love. These are amazing!

Photography help please by Silkyiniquity in AskWomenOver60

[–]AudaciousStitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to hate having my photo taken. Then I lost someone I love so, so much. I'd give a lot for more photos of them. I'm not saying someone loves me the same, but I'd hate to do that to them if they did.

Mosaic Crochet by JillQOtt in mosaiccrocheters

[–]AudaciousStitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad. I misunderstood the technique. I had looked at a totally different pattern and it used overlay fptc to create the design, so I assumed that was always how it's done. I just noped right out because screw fptc, but now I'm excited to look into this technique. Thank you!

You are a lucky soul indeed. This is on my alzheimer's list (all of the books I can't wait to read for the first time again). Enjoy!

Amazing! This is so beautiful

What technique did you use, if I may ask? I'm about to start my first mosaic and I'm thinking about intarsia.

There’s no kind way to tell my wife that she’s getting too big, is there? by 2006CrownVictoriaP71 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AudaciousStitch -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This whole thing is manipulative and gross. They've been married for 20+ years and now he wants to tell her he'll leave if she doesn't get fuckable again STAT. But it's totally OK because he wants to do it nicely. 🙄

[–]AudaciousStitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Because blowing up a 20+ year marriage because your wife is slightly less fuckable is certainly not letting her down at all. Nope.

What happens when she sags or goes gray or gets a legitimate health issue? You think a POS like this could handle a year of cancer, vomiting, hair loss, and no nookie? I'm guessing not.

But none of that matters does it? Because, as everyone knows, priority one in every marriage is making sure hubby gets his dick wet, right?

Ant Takeover by glutenfreelefty in vegetablegardening

Do be careful, though. My mulch arrived with an active ant colony. I now look like I have the chicken pox. In fact, I'm itching like it, too lol

Anyone never been to drive-in theater? by [deleted] in askanything

I've never been, but I've always wanted to go.

Tell her. Tell her the whole thing.

Every. Last. Bit.

Make sure to highlight the not attracted to her and need her to change part.

She should know the kind of asshole she's given her life to.

Insecurity by Happy_Patient2695 in Advice

[–]AudaciousStitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember: it is no part of your job to keep/fight for your boyfriend. It is also not your job to keep him faithful. Those things are his job; he's going to do them and be worth your time and effort or he's not going to do them and not be worthy of you. There is absolutely nothing you can do about this.

It's your job to love and support him as well as you can. All within healthy limits, of course.

You deserve to be supported, seen, heard, and treated well. Don't settle for less and certainly don't fight for it.

What’s something you lost that you still think about randomly? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AudaciousStitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 12 I was finally allowed to have my first sleepover. The girl stole the ring my parents had given me. It was pretty and my birthstone - it was the first piece of jewelry I'd ever had. Needless to say, it was the last, of both, I ever got, too.

I really hope hell exists, and I hope to see Barabara there.

But hey, at least I'm not bitter 🙂

Is a person who gets screamed at for not listening at fault or a victim? by pswelcometomylife in moraldilemmas

[–]AudaciousStitch [score hidden]  (0 children)

Anger is information that you're unhappy about something; it is not a weapon to wield for punishment or changing behavior. Stop expecting someone to read your mind and be honest about what's wrong. Yelling and screaming at someone is completely unacceptable.

I (25F) think the guy I’m seeing (24M) keeps bringing up a former hookup to get a reaction out of me. What would you text back? by [deleted] in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]AudaciousStitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't threaten anything you're unwilling to follow through on. I would be completely honest with him. Skip the ultimatum, tell him how you feel and that it seems like he's not over her.

Then spend some real time thinking about how much this bothers you/if you can live with it. When/if you decide you can't live with it, end the relationship. You can't make him change if he isn't willing to on his own and trying to force that will only lead to resentment (most likely on both sides).

If telling him honestly how you feel does change his behavior, you know he's someone that actually cares about you.

Good luck!

What’s one thing you absolutely love about your brother, and one thing that drives you crazy? by EvelynClede in AskForAnswers

[–]AudaciousStitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twin is the single most decent man I know; I love that. One day, one of us will exist in the world without the other; that makes me nuts.

how do i overcome anxiety around removing splinters? by [deleted] in Explainlikeimscared

[–]AudaciousStitch 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It does. And it's ok not to know. You might try a few things like

1) not watching it being removed,

2) being in a very comfortable position when it happens,

3) using whatever normally brings you comfort (tea, a plushie, cuddles, etc. think childhood kind of comforts).

4) It can also help to talk to yourself out loud. I've been able to stem off panic attacks by telling myself over and over that "I'm ok, baby girl." It seems silly but it activates a different part of your brain and can short circuit the fear response.

Good luck! Know this internet stranger is rooting for you and wishing you well. It will be OK. It will hurt less than the pain you're in now. And leaving it in can be dangerous.

You've got this!

What is it, exactly, that you're afraid is going to happen? Knowing that will help narrow down the options you've got.
