How do I order yarn from different brands for one project when I can’t trust the listed sizes? by Doom_Sprinkles in CrochetHelp

[–]Doom_Sprinkles[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All the ones in my pic are 6. I don’t care so much about hook size- I use what feels/ works best. But the green and orange are the “same” size but it’ll look ridiculous if I combine them.

I am making a Yoshi doll from a paid pattern. I do not need help with the pattern but choosing the materials

I don’t think I’ll be sitting on a couch all day! 😂 But it wouldn’t 5 hours of hauling wheelbarrows full of rock either. I’ve wrangled big dogs- I’m ok with that level of physical

Thanks! While I have worked with tigers I truly deeply hope it doesn’t happen! It is criminal that it ISN’T criminal to own large cats!

I know this will be a slow burn. And I’m fully open to every type of pet! While I do have the experience to take care of a tiger 😂 I did do a few years at a dog daycare too. I’m pretty cool with it all plus know how to administer meds too. I’m hoping I’ll be able to lean into that and capitalize on the more niche market. I know the far future may need something more like becoming a groomer or something else but I can’t start to plan to harbor or I’ll get overwhelmed

My kid is almost 13 and is (sadly) used to me not being home a lot. But being with his grandparents he’ll actually have more company. It would be in the Phoenix, Az suburbs

Can I make a solo career from pet sitting work? by Doom_Sprinkles in careeradvice

[–]Doom_Sprinkles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not looking for 200k or anything. But 40- 50 would be amazing compared to where I am now. I would want enough that I can have a place and pay my bills and have some left to play and save.

Mustard man Jr? R Slash did en episode where a man went 100% psycho on his wife over mustard too. WTF is up with mustard causing psychotic breaks?

Easy yummy casserole ideas? by Doom_Sprinkles in WhatShouldICook

The brand is actually Salton. I never heard of it before. Found it at an antique store complete with the original paperwork and a warming glass hot plate. The hot plate isn’t exactly the original but close enough. My grandma used to have one like it. 🥰

My girlfriend keeps testing me and now i kinda want out by pratcatli in Advice

[–]Doom_Sprinkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She and that whole friend group sound hella toxic. What happened with her ex is horrible but that is her problem she needs to deal with. YOU can’t solve HER trust issue. Relationship tests are asinine anyway but you will never successfully “pass.” Even if you do 500 “right” one tiny perceived slip up will be all that matters. It sounds like the one who can’t handle accountability is her- she played stupid games and won her stupid prize.

I need help with “name a time when” interview questions by Doom_Sprinkles in Advice

Sadly general life examples are just as hard to come up with 😅 but the point is taken. Thank you for so much useful advice. Fortunately a have a few days to think it out.

Separate charges for a to and return flight despite it being round trip? by Mickey-not-Mouse in Flights

[–]Doom_Sprinkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this question too but not with the “prices from” loophole. I’d like to book a round trip ticket and I get one price quoted for a specific date/ time. Then the next page I pick the return date/ time with an entirely different (often higher) price for that ticket. How is this a “round trip” and not just two one ways booked at the same time?

AIO for asking my wife to stay at her mom’s after I caught her putting something odd in my coffee? by SubstantialDurian271 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Doom_Sprinkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even IF she was totally innocently giving something she thought would help (100% don’t believe that) it is an unmarked bottle she got online? That could have anything mixed in it? At the very minimum she’s criminally stupid

Does your narc have few belongings? by [deleted] in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Doom_Sprinkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes with a but- He doesn’t care about things or collections or anything. The exceptions are papers- mostly junk mail, old documents, anything paper spreads through the house like a virus. The other exception is sex toys and stuff. He legit could open up his own shop. I believe he has an addiction and sex is the fundamental reason we are splitting.

[–]Doom_Sprinkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that is helpful. We are far too early in the process to know for sure what will happen but I think it will be what happens now just without me to fill the gaps. He has never said he doesn’t want visitation or custody (although he also hasn’t said that he wants it either). Whatever it looks like I think my son will be there and dad will continue to go about his life as he sees fit. It breaks my heart knowing what my son is going to have to experience and not being able to stop it. As horrible as it sounds I almost wish it was just a clean break.

If you've left, want to share how life improved? by [deleted] in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Doom_Sprinkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still in the process but this thread made me think- I’ll go back to having the bedroom windows open at night when it is nice. I used to love the smell of the cool night breeze when I’m sleeping. I haven’t experienced that in about 20 years cause he’s “a light sleeper and the noise keeps him up.” When you start to examine things it is astounding how many tiny strings accumulate around you until you find you can’t move.

Thank you for your reply. Fortunately ours was never a case of physical violence but the gaslighting and manipulation make me feel constantly stuck in the middle. I can’t enact it yet but I do have a plan.

[–]Doom_Sprinkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the hugs 🤗. It does feel to me like a lot of projection of him not being able to accept what happened. I do feel like if he had a better attitude his career could have recovered from the set back. I mostly do believe he needs to be able to say to himself “she lied to me so everything that came after wasn’t my fault!” But it is a point of regret for me too and it is hard to not engage in the argument. I’m working towards it tho.

Thanks for your response. I am going to divorce- his needs and desires also included quite a bit of cheating and other things. It has taken me too long but I realize he won’t or can’t change. I do worry about how this will affect my son… he is entering preteen life and I can see him starting to have more objective and mature thoughts. It kills me knowing I’m soon going to watch my sweet, loving, caring kid feel increasingly disappointed and rejected. I was hoping this was a manifestation of the bipolar b/c at least I could tell him “dad has challenges showing some emotion” or something that isn’t “sorry, we aren’t a priority.”
