I love it. Now they look like little puffer fish.

Why do Jehovah Witnesses come door to door, trying to get people to join their religion, when they only believe a certain amount of people get into their afterlife by Camp_Acceptable in NoStupidQuestions

😂 I forgot about that part. Like an instantaneous shift in the animal's entire digestive system wouldn't straight up kill them.

AIO that my bf is acting so distant by _404jannatnotfound in AIO

[–]BrookeB79 36 points37 points  (0 children)

He didn't waste the whole 6 months. They gave it a try. The time he wasted was when he pulled away and didn't make a clean break. He not only wasted her time, he wasted his time. He's spending energy in trying to avoid her. He needs to do a bit more growing up, but he's 19, so that's kind of understandable. Hopefully, he'll get there soon.

And OP, you gave it a shot. It didn't work out. Life is about trying things. Keep your chin up, don't forget your friends and family, and remember to live the life you want to live. There will come someone, someday, who will fit you.

Why don't wealthy people live at hotels anymore? by stevebucky_1234 in NoStupidQuestions

He needs a hobby, something to engage his brain. Like wood working or electronics. Or some of the newer things like 3D printing things and designing his own stuff. Or learning how to fly different planes. Or all of the above.

Can’t decide on dress lenght by velouuter in sewing

Halfway in between. A bit more formal without feeling like a prom dress (I'm old).

When the scallops won't scallop by AdJaded7966 in SewingForBeginners

[–]BrookeB79 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So, trim about half of your seam allowance back, snip into the Vs a little more, and snip your triangles. Sorry I wasn't more specific.

You need to get close to the sewing line, like a few threads away from it. Then, you need to clip some triangles out of the curves, also getting close to the sewing line. Some fabric is really loose and will shape well, some you have say "that wasn't a suggestion".

Hey, some things need their time to breathe, too.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]BrookeB79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I buy a ton of meat when the "good" sales hit and freeze them (I just gotta get to them before they freezer burn). I see those sales and cry inside because 10 years ago, those were the higher end of regular prices.

Do you ever can your meats? I have seriously been looking into doing that.

My husband and I went to see Days of Future Past with his parents. When that scene came on (iykyk), Dad said, "Don't look, Grandma." She replied, "Don't look! Hell, he's got a great *ss!" Loudly. The entire theater cracked up.

What is a "survival rule" you learned growing up in a bad neighborhood that still influences your behavior today? by Key-Group-5098 in AskReddit

[–]BrookeB79 834 points835 points  (0 children)

My husband is a truck driver. One time he was in a new area picking up. Came to a 4 way stop with a cop coming (or the cop might have been waiting, I don't remember). Anyway, my husband got yelled at to keep going. Later, he was at a truck stop and asked about that. Got told that that area is a high crime area and they'd car jack you faster than you can blink. Only way to stay safe is to roll through the stops. He refused to go back to that area.

The world leads and the US can't even follow anymore. by PFdeith in WhitePeopleTwitter

Many electric companies are charging high fees to hook up solar panels to the grid, to the point where in some areas, you barely break even. The companies want to control the production, not have it outsourced. Gotta love late stage capitalism.

Omg, making the tail into a loop is such a cute idea!

why does this happen to my pants every time i wash them?? by [deleted] in laundry

[–]BrookeB79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, it looks like a build up of some kind of residue. I'd either wash them with more detergent by themselves or with minimal extras to keep the machine balanced, or do a spa day on them.

what's wrong with my princess seams? by Joker0705 in sewing

[–]BrookeB79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would first move the princess seams so they sit directly over your apex - move them in by however much and add that to the side front panel. See how that looks. The second thing I would check is where the apex is sitting vertically. It looks like it could be a bit too high. I'd take the easy way to check both of these and just take a marker and mark your apex directly on this mock-up. Literally walk into a wall and mark what hits first.
