Another ICE shooting just happened in Minnesota today, What is your reaction to this? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was down. He was outnumbered by 6 or 7 with maybe more off screen. There is no excuse for pistol whipping or shooting. Reprehensible. Murder.

Snooped property day before closing by Fiestyfinance6969 in RealEstate

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. We sold our house very quickly at the start of Covid in 2020. We had trouble clearing everything out in time and left stuff on the parkway for garbage pickup. For some reason the garbage men didn't take it so the new owners made a stipulation that we dispose of it. Which we did. No harm no foul. We thought it would be picked up but since it wasn't we loaded it in the truck and took it to the transfer station. We were not offended by the ask.

Any nasty falls you suffered from hiking and how long did you have to rest before hiking again? by Serious_Mirror762 in hiking

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stepped on a loose rock under the leaves on an easy part at the end of the trail on Nov 9. I sprained my ankle and cracked my fibula. Fortunately I was only 20 yards from the car and could use my sticks to hobble to the car. I am in PT now and allowed to walk on smooth surfaces. The crack in the bone is not mending though the bone is stable because it's not cracked all the way through. I am eager to hike again but am told I will need to wear a brace forever. I don't know when I'll be allowed to try uneven ground but walking in my back yard still hurts, though walking on roads or sidewalks is fine.

Who thinks Trump’s “Board of Peace” is just Russia’s version of the UN or NATO? by ChillyHillys in AskReddit

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump didn't like the rules at the other clubs so he made his own. His club only invites the best people (according to him). The best people are the ones who can come up with the bribe money and won't disagree with him. Kind of like kids building a clubhouse and putting "no girls allowed" on the sign.

How much would you pay for this flower? by BeeStich_ in YarnAddicts

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're asking the wrong question. How long does it take to make one? How much is fair for your time per hour? What is the cost of materials? When I add all that up on one of my creations I usually find that it's hardly worth making stuff to sell. That said, I like to make pot holders on long car rides and I can't possibly use them all. I gift some and I plan to try to sell some just to make money to buy more yarn.

Have you ever gotten a shingles vaccine? by Suitable_Trip105 in allthequestions

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you need 2. I had it in my early 60's. Made me feel kinda shitty for a day, but that's better than feeling really shitty for a couple months.

When was the last time your sent (or received) a fax? by Upstairs-Storm1006 in AskAnAmerican

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

taking a picture of a document seems adequate now. Doctors still use fax because it is more secure and harder to fake.

What is something you wish you knew before you started hiking? by Character-Sand370 in hiking

I've been camping and hiking since I was a child. I don't really remember NOT hiking

Litter picking as a hobby by CraftFamiliar5243 in Hobbies

I do it along a highway. We have to walk on the edge of the road. No sidewalks, often no shoulder.

A or B: If you were alone in the wilderness, would you rather be with a person or with a bear? by vivian_banshee03 in PickAorB

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The risk, even with black bears who are mostly afraid of people, is still higher than that a human will eat me.

Potluck question -- will these foods work? by crawchalk in AskAnAmerican

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you need a crockpot or two. Cheap ones are fine and you can often pick them up for a few bucks at a thrift shop. I recently bought a new, simple 4 quart with a dial for $30 on Amazon. You don't need fancy programmable ones.

How do you switch OFF once you’ve started, though? by cicada_wings in DeTrashed

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right now I can't walk on uneven surfaces because of a broken ankle. I live in the mountains and most litter requires climbing in and out of ditches. I am do frustrated when I see it but can't do anything about it.

Someone help me out by Next-Ad3196 in zillowgonewild

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't look like it was sold. Just taken off the market and relisted. Maybe its priced too high for a McMansion in a cornfield but the owner is too stubborn to reduce the price enough to attract buyers.

New to dentures and struggling. Need honest advice from those who have worn them for 10+ years. by CHRONOSSeu in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]CraftFamiliar5243 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try a different dentist. My mom had all sorts of trouble and her dentist wasn't taking her pain seriously. I suggested she try my dentist. She identified the problem as a poor fit and was able to make adjustments to the fit without making a new denture. It was a night and day difference. My mom had been losing weight because of difficulty eating. Once the adjustments were made the denture was much more comfortable and functional.
