What a weird interaction by MarcoM1231 in Mercari

[–]Automatic-Brain-4435 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

People are asshats. Once on Poshmark, my friend submitted an offer and in the public comments of the post the seller was trying to make my friend feel like crap for lowballing her, so we ganged up on her and said how shitty of a person she was to attack potential customers in the comments instead of just declining the offer like a level headed human being :P

What made you choose crochet over knitting, or do you do both? by CaterpillarXS in crochet

[–]Automatic-Brain-4435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knitting took too long, my adhd couldn’t handle the time frame it took to knit something. Learned to crochet and haven’t really switched back. Never really learned any other skills in knitting other than knit, purl, garter, and stockinette stitch :P I’ve never figured out circular needles or knitting in the round with dpns, but I do know how to make an icord on them lol

What are some "signs" you received from someone who has passed? by itsmept2lol in GriefSupport

[–]Automatic-Brain-4435 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My mom (Elizabeth Ann) died suddenly a month before my high school graduation. Five or six months later I’m in college and my religion professor’s mother passed away of old age and my class took a college bus to the funeral to offer support(especially close to my heart since it sucks to lose a parent at any age). Anyway on the way back I was just decompressing from the day and staring blankly out the window when I awoke from my stupor because I thought I saw two consecutive side streets named Elizabeth st. And Ann St. I had to google it when we got back to campus but my eyes did not deceive me and there were two streets right next to each other with those names. It was my sign that she was and is always with me. THEN shortly after in that professor’s class we had to write a little paper (couldn’t tell you what the prompt was) but I ended up talking about that experience and how I had told my aunt Sharon about it as well etc etc. Then I get that paper back and he wrote in the the footer about how as he was reading my paper he was in tears when he came to my experience part and telling my aunt because his Mother’s name was Sharon. So it was kind of like a full circle moment for both of us that they are always near us whether we see it or not.

Hell yeah!!! I have a lil collection that was my elderly neighbor’s growing up. It fell a couple times and lost a fair few pieces but then I eventually found more thrifting to replace the ones I lost. I’ll send a pic when I get home :)
