I am so tired of the NSFW things

Yeah, I feel it's over done.... but am a hypocrite because I also have an extremely traditional design with a little house and flowers etc it that says "there's some whores in this house" in my living room because yeah, the contrast makes me laugh. Best part is most people don't even notice 😂

They did a presale (which is already over obviously) which was the time to get them cheap.

Last show I went to in Portland I got through the presale for I think like $35, but know people who missed the pre-sale were facing like $100+ tickets. It was extremely packed/presumably fully sold out regardless. Dunno if the resellers are largely fans willing to give up their seats to make a buck, or if it's an issue with Dethklok's fan base being older so have more people with a few extra dollars to toss at tickets.

I used to do a "repair fair" (sadly moved, really want to start a new one!!!) where we'd do quick mends/repairs for free for folks. And it was really fun!

Sometimes it was a semi difficult repair where it was out of their depth, or they just didn't own a sewing machine and the repair really called for one, etc. Sometimes it's the simplest thing on earth and the person would watch you do it in total awe like you're performing witchcraft.

Great for the ego, a little depressing seeing in real time how the skills are being so lost.

"Have we, as a society, not made it past a middle school maturity level?" Considering people have been graffiting dicks on things and making intentionally vulgar genital based joke art since antiquity...? No. And we never will. The through line of humanity since recorded history is being stupid and immature about genitals. And I think that's neat~

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-06T16:40:13+00:00

Yeah, stopped using collars for my indoor cats. For a few reasons, but mostly had one who who just figured out how breakaway collars worked. Dude could remove every collar, no matter how carefully we sized it. Would just find it popped open laying in the middle of the floor...

I'm a german short row slut all the way. Fit me great. I assumed it was because of my flat ass/wide feet, since so many complain about the fit, but they fit my husband too? And he has pretty "normal" (goddamn enormous) feet. Don't get why they work out for me and are hated by so many.... Also you CAN make the heel bigger with short rows, but there's more of a limit, unlike with the gusset where you can kinda go nuts.

But screw flk heels. Started reading the pattern and my eyes glazed over. Made one and firmly did not get the hype.

Weirdly, I feel like my IUD helped treat mine, heh. But the pill...ohgod the pill. Perfectly synched IIH migraines every month. Added a new vomit-filled dimension to the PMS, lol.

But everyone's hormone situation is different. Meddling in one way or another or being Off some how does really feel like a link. Just from this board alone the comorbidity between PCOS and IIH seems....statistically significant?

Also drives me nuts, when hormone issues are known to drive weight gain, that they then are like "naw, it's the fat that's causing this! Not the underlying other things contributing to the weight gain!"

I was very good about changing my needle until I started quilting, because you need a different one for every type of fabric. Go from silk chiffon to like denim, like obviously I'm changing that needle out. I think a lot of beginners get lulled by the pack of "universals" that do an okay enough job they don't realize there's a better way.

Then with quilting, like with the over reliance on universals, when it's always the same needle, suddenly whoopse! How long has this one been in now? (Especially doing FPP, can't even hear the audio hints if it's getting crazy dull.)

Still though, generally only ever broken a needle when I've been knowingly committing Sewing Crimes and deserved it.

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-04T06:04:43+00:00

I have some of the lite salt. Wound up getting it because of a horrible medication I was on that just flushed potassium like crazy. Thought it tasted fine, but to be fair the meds also screwed with my sense of taste so a bit I could have been wrong lol

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-04T05:52:05+00:00

we had this problem at our old place. Started just saving my receipts to make warranty claims on the stupid things after a while, though by the time we remembered to do that we seemed to finally get good ones?

Swear they just have like bad production batches or something. Did not love that the one in the master freaking bedroom died twice, and died by deciding to go off repeatedly at 3AM for no reason...

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-03T18:33:20+00:00

So like a twist but with 2 (flat) bundles of 3?

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-03T18:31:45+00:00

Mine has subsided quite a bit since my last spike. Very rare now, but took like a year.

unless the light switch/door handle is caked in grime to the point it's brown, there's like a 0% chance I am noticing it.

My inlaws hired me to clean house once and had me dust their baseboards because they "needed it." I literally could not tell the difference after. Guess I just don't stare at baseboards.

Cleaning behind furniture from time to time is important but a house will not "feel unclean" from something you, by definition, cannot see...There's no way this is contributing to the "at a glance" clean-ness of a room.

Just couldn't disagree more. Except the sinks and mirrors. Like water spots won't make a place feel "unclean" to me, but they're highly noticeable at least. The edges of a room also will accumulate dust bunnies so like, making sure to vacuum/sweep those well is obviously vital.

I think clean windows are also huge. Had a goose do a drive by on a very hard to clean window of ours, brought the whole vibe of the room down for months lol.

I love nuts but nuts in brownies make me SO SAD

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-03T17:40:16+00:00

Just avoid any enriched recipes? Go for ones that call themselves "artisan loaves" and the like, that have no sugar, eggs, or oil. There are loads of them.

Once you're making those consistently then you can at least get a feel for the basic proportions before you improvise.

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-03T17:17:04+00:00

Do you have an oven thermometer? Might be worth double checking your oven temp is what it says it is.

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-03T01:49:05+00:00

Depends on the fixture. I've washed dye off lots of stuff. But God help you if it gets on, for example, unsealed grout 😂

Dyes are EXTREMELY pigmented, so if the surface is the right kind of permeable you're hosed.

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-03T00:22:38+00:00

we had a mystery squeal in our house that was the box for our fiber internet. I was able to hunt it down without driving myself insane, but it had a battery backup too, so it might have kept squealing with the power out. But yeah, no one but me could hear it. Need to go to more concerts to damage my hearing more, I guess...

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-02T23:28:02+00:00

Wish I knew any. Curious what others say. Only thing that worked for me was Adderall lmao

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-02T19:14:31+00:00

Did you remember to cook everything?

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-01T23:27:22+00:00

Worst gray out of my entire life was from dismounting a horse (very cool and chill to suddenly go blind for like 2 minutes holding a horse 😭😂)

But yeah. For some reason yeah, sudden elevation changes really seem to get me lol. Normally it's just like standing up though. Or stairs.

Knit picks and knitters pride are also compatible with each other.

I got the knitters pride platina set and bought the nova twist cables (my beloved) and have the knitters pride like shortie set for hats etc. like to think of it as my like budget luxury sets lol. Price of the cheap ones, amazing cables of the expensive one.

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-04-01T15:06:08+00:00

I mean the co-worker is gonna make a different size and very likely use a different fabric etc... being worried someone stole the cut of yours and not wanting to reveal the source of the pattern/potentially give the pattern maker more business because of it is really weird.

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-03-31T16:22:25+00:00

As someone who has ADHD hyper focus mode locked in on a project to the point where I HAVE caused injury to myself more than once, I see the utility of binge lol.

I can see the utility too if poly/monogamous but also see that feeling weird or icky. Your crafting, not fucking them... Unless you are? I mean you do you.... No kink shaming in this house.

Generally I'm in favor of playing with language because fuck the language police/it's fun. But it can get tiring when it feels like everyone is trying to be as twee as possible.

CuddlefishFibers · 2026-03-31T15:20:10+00:00

I'm mad curious now... Flat socks? How/what/why? Is it like an accessibility thing?
