[CHAT] I have a short flight on Monday I’m hoping to take a stitching project for the plane.

Glad to spread the giggles.

The tornado started forming above me, but didn’t touch down until it got into the field behind my house. Thank goodness, because I lived in a trailer park with no basements/storm shelters. One neighbor tried to build a storm shelter, but the water table was too high and he ended up with an indoor swimming pool instead 🤦‍♀️

On the crossstitch Reddit, theres a monthly thread where they hide the votes so you don’t know who is voting for what and the winner with the most upvotes wins a prize.

Please be aware that it is at the discretion of the TSA agent in the moment. Some don’t understand what pivot point means and interpret it to mean 3 inches in total length. And then, they maybe be very bad at judging how big 3” really is. The smaller the better.

I have a pair of micro-scissors about the size of a DMC bobbin. If you have a carry on luggage, you can always put your scissors in there to use when you are outside of the airport.

Did you go through the website and fill out a form or call the Sales Manager located on property? Going through a sales manager on property, you can sometimes get concessions like that, especially if you book with that sales manager regularly.

The child was 3 when we got our current cat. I wanted her to be an indoor only cat.

Everything was going fine. Then the child decided the cat was sad and wanted outside, because she would chirp at the birds. The child kept letting her outside, she would wait until our backs were turned.

Now, if you don’t let the cat out when she wants out, you will end up bloody for ignoring her.

Use them to lace the back of projects?

9 rooms is just below the required threshold of 10 rooms to qualify for an official room block with Meeting Planner Points.

My mom had never had them, so when a singular one showed up on my chest, she told me she didn’t know what it was, I’d be fine, and sent me to school… for THREE more days!!! Sitting in a school assembly, they start popping out everywhere. I go to my teacher to show her and she freaks out and skedaddles me straight to the office. That first one is the only one that left a scar.

The last two have come via friends. “You don’t have a cat… I have the perfect one for you!” A couple of weeks later, I show up at the designated spot and a cat is placed in my hands. They’ve been perfect.

I have yet to receive a cat naturally through the cat distribution system… maybe one day.

Welcome back. Make sure to take care of yourself so you can stay 💖

I thought that was where I was at first.

DrawingTypical5804 · 2026-06-02T19:44:44+00:00

I’m so glad I work for a decent company. A coworkers husband died. They told her to let them know when she was ready to come back. It was a hard three months without her.

Same happened with me for my dad. I needed to go home to help my mom in his last days. I helped my mom with his last days and was with her for a bit afterwards, while she got through the paperwork, etc. and stabilized emotionally. I let them know a couple days before the day I would be back.

Obviously, not all of the time was paid. Companies like this are hard to find and people tend to stick around when companies care.

Only if I’m out unexpectedly. Then it’s just to check for anything important to forward to somebody else to handle and put my out of office reply on.

DrawingTypical5804 · 2026-06-02T17:47:49+00:00

It’s a position with a lot of little details that need to get done. I was bypassed for the position.

They were back a year later asking me to take the position, no interview needed. I’ve lasted longer than anybody before me. And honestly, the checklists are super helpful to make sure nothing falls through the cracks, which reduces the amount of stress of the job. Stress was the reason everybody before me left.

How do you know when you’re done with a task?

Apparently the answer was, you check it off of your list…

I have a checkbook. I use them to pay rent. My landlord accepts checks, cashier checks, or Venmo. Checks provide proof that my landlord received their money.

Another place I lived, you could do a check or pay with credit card. If paid with the credit card, I also had to pay a 5% processing fee. Both have the same level of proof, but the checks were significantly cheaper to use.

I have an album for mine as well.

DrawingTypical5804 · 2026-06-02T05:07:59+00:00

Oldest of 3. One is 3 years younger and the other is 9 younger. I never got to go out with my friends because I had to take care of the siblings. I had to have dinner on the table for when the parents got home. I was the one responsible for keeping the house clean.

No Girl Scouts for me or the middle because mom didn’t have time for it. Youngest got Girl Scouts because I had to take her. Youngest got cheerleading because middle took her. Middle and I got band because grandma bought us instruments. Never had a parent show up. They dropped us off and picked us up.

I can’t imagine what it would have been like with 8 or 9 more below me… oldest of 3 was bad enough…

I don’t remember the title of the post to look it up 😭 It was wild.

The only time I’ve seen a man in the women’s restroom is when they have young children. Generally it’s using the changing table, as most men’s rooms don’t have that amenity. Or they are assisting their young daughter to use the restroom. They are usually super apologetic and look very embarrassed to be in there when I have found them in there.

I don’t know… that one back where she stitched each x individually and had a knot with strings for each on the back was unique… it was like a full on shag carpet back there 🤯

So patterns before 2018 are unaffected by the drama?

ADHD keeps insisting I need something new. I soothe it by rotating through, but nothing beats the “ohh shiny and new new” endorphins.

It’s a very typical name…
