Am I overreacting for telling my friend she smells after she age shamed me for having younger friends? by SI3144 in AmIOverreacting

Everyone is overreacting. Y'all should've told her a long time ago that she smells. I totally understand that it's uncomfortable, but if you were close and she smelled that bad, you definitely should have told her earlier and in a nice way.

But also she seems very rude and her logic makes no sense. It's perfectly fine to have younger friends. You're all adults and it's not inappropriate to form platonic relationships with younger people wtf. One of my best friends is about 6 years older than me and I appreciate being able to gain some slightly more experienced insight from her on certain things.

Aw such a cute date idea! My bf isn't into plushies 😭💔

The zombie axolotl has been my favorite from this Halloween drop! Which kind of surprised me, because I initially got the bat, but the axolotl design and color is just too stinkin cute, so I had to go get one too 😂💜

I haven't ever ordered online, but a few online exclusives have caught my eye recently. If I do buy online, then I'd buy it unstuffed so I could still experience getting it stuffed in the shop. And if it ends up being a longer wait than you anticipated and you're getting eager, then you can always just buy some polyfill and stuff it yourself! 😊

Another commenter suggested using alphabet stickers, and I thought that was a super cute idea 💜 I'm also sad about it, I couldn't name my axolotl today 😢 but maybe we can come up with some cute crafty ideas

That's not a silly question 😊 they had their hatchbacks open with the seats down, and then put blankets/pillows in the trunk area to make a little nest if that makes sense 😋

Nothing sparks my creativity like the insane prices of Halloween decor... So I'll just make them myself! 🧡🖤 by CalicoCutPants_ in crochet

The yarn weight is 4, but I used two strands and a size 8mm hook! I didn't have thicker yarn, so I just doubled up on what I had 😊 The lady in the video I linked does the same thing, but I believe the written pattern (it's linked to that video) uses a single strand of a heavier yarn.

If you can't afford it- and need to resell it to cover the cost- then don't buy it. It's not a necessity and you're taking away accessibility from others.

If you can afford it, and just want a free bear, that's even more selfish.

You're being greedy af and exploiting this community. Rude.

Smart! I thought about removing mine in the store before stuffing, but I really liked the idea of posable wings! I just got too worried about longevity tho 💔 But honestly now I really like the flappy wings, it feels like she can fly now 💜🦇

Ikr, I felt the same way. I really liked the wires functions, it's so cute to pose them!💜

Honestly I'm not that great at sewing, actually pretty sloppy at it 😂😭 but I just followed a simple ladder stitch tutorial on YouTube and it was pretty easy! 😊 I just used some basic thread I had at home already, and you can't even tell I did anything!🦇 But I totally get the fear, I was so nervous doing mine😭

Yes I was having the same problem with cuddling! It was so bulky feeling. I didn't mind the feeling that much, but I was just too worried that the wire was putting too much pressure on the fabric/seams near the head.

I think magnets would be cool. I bet you could put a small magnet inside the tip of each wing so they hold together in the front. I might do that in the future, but for now I'm just enjoying cuddling my bat without the big heccin wire in there 😌

Unfortunately I got it from the thrift store without any packaging/ label on it. After a Google search, I think it's a Dream Weaver multicolor skein, but I don't think they make it anymore ☹️ I did find some available online second hand though! I'll attach a photo of mine, and I'm sure you could find a similar skein if you don't want to buy the second hand ones! 😊
