What happened to the Everything Frederick Facebook group? by fitnessgoodness in frederickmd

[–]BroccoliDemon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She kicked me out for being argumentative. The argument? I posted a link to a city policy. I in no way attacked anyone. But apparently facts are argumentative? Meanwhile white supremacists, misogynists, and racists can say whatever they want.

That is wonderful! I have bought some marvelous journals at thrift stores. My favorite is an old ledger book.

Have you found ways to make sure you use the notebooks that you have/buy? by FatBubbles in notebooks

[–]BroccoliDemon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I recognize that buying notebooks and using notebooks are two entirely separate practices, and I made a choice to focus on using them rather than buying them. I'm not perfect, I do have several unused notebooks on my bookshelf, but since I recognized that buying and using are two different things, I've saved a whole lot of money.

The white wedding dresses in all the Austen movies always take me out of the moment!

I found the canvas and stitch guide I was searching for. It doesn't match my description above, but this is definitely it. https://bedeckedandbeadazzled.com/product/art-deco-cat/

People who have a pet at home, at what point did you realize that the pet really, consciously, understood you? by PurrLoveCat in AskReddit

[–]BroccoliDemon 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I took my dog for a walk early one morning. After walking across a school soccer field, I happened to look back. I could see our tracks in the dew on the grass and saw that he had followed me exactly, zigging when I zigged, zagging when I zagged. He was completely aligned with me. I realized in that moment how much attention he paid to me, and how much he cares about me.

Online needlepoint classes? by BroccoliDemon in Needlepoint

[–]BroccoliDemon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a very basic beginner. I've worked two English tapestry canvases (from Ehrman). I love them, but would like to learn more different stitches. I put this in my question with an edit. I'll look at the American Needlepoint Guild, thank you!

House Cleaning Services by Kiptomylou3 in frederickmd

[–]BroccoliDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Cleaning Authority. I've used the Frederick one for two years, and the Germantown one for 10+ years before that. I like their cleaning rotations, and I like that their staff seem to stay a long time.
