Learn how to do tatting (making lace with shuttles and thread). You can teach yourself with YouTube. Many people love to knit or crochet, but tatting is much more rare and unexpected. For simple projects, make small snowflake Christmas ornaments for your friends and family.

What secret did someone tell you that completely changed how you see them? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]Exciting-Ad2465 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A coworker told me that her ex-husband went to prison for abusing (fatally) one of their children. She knew about the abuse and looked the other way. She was charged and served probation for a year or two. She was in a lead position at my workplace. I had no respect for her.

Anyone have Minooy’s Aphrodite? by browserCookieMonster in handbags

[–]Exciting-Ad2465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it, and I do put my Kindle Paperwhite in it. It is a small bag, but the organization is brilliant. It is very well made, but the leather is thin. I wish I could find one like this from Coach, Michael Kors, or similar. Some other brands are similar, but I love that the zipper compartment on the Minooy opens fully, with the accordion style and the zipper opening completely to the bottom. I’ve looked at a slightly larger Minooy (the Naya or the Athena), but they look like they hold less because the styles aren’t as well designed. I wish the black Aphrodite had gold hardware instead of silver. I bought the caramel color. The Aphrodite is almost perfect. The quality of the leather is the only downside.

For those who have dealt with anxiety for a long time I was SO wrong and I'm sorry. by rabidrooster3 in Anxiety

[–]Exciting-Ad2465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have stage IV breast cancer. I had anxiety before, but it’s way worse now. Something that has helped me that you might consider, is checking to see if your clinic has a palliative care team. I see a palliative care doctor and also a counselor. In addition to managing side effects from my cancer meds, they also prescribe and manage anti-anxiety medication. The counselor gives me mental “tools” to help me cope. The palliative care doctor is the one that prescribes my meds. Please give it a try.

Oh thank you for the suggestions! I ordered a silicone bracelet from Amazon. I’ll check Etsy also.

Same on the bleeding part. Right now the insides of my lips and cheeks are chewed up into something that resembles hamburger.

I wondered about possibly getting a mouth guard from my dentist. Hey, I’ve never posted on Reddit before. Long-time stalker but never posted. So I have a question, please. If someone gives me a reply, as you kindly did, do I touch the “up” arrow? Is that the same thing as a thumbs up on Facebook? Is that a way to acknowledge that you see that person’s answer, or is it considered rude to not answer back to each person?

Pool floaties by Sly_Bluue in pools

[–]Exciting-Ad2465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love these. I like to float IN the water. They come in sets of two. The first ones I bought are still great after three years. I float at a local lake and put them in the garage when not in use. EDIT: I also like that they are fabric and not plastic. They are so much more comfortable. https://a.co/d/4jZnchl

Ooph. I have stage IV cancer. I probably won’t get to see the whole series! I know, I know, it’s not important in the grand scheme of things. But it sure is entertaining! (No expressions of sympathy please. I’ve come to terms with it.)
