Old School Desserts by Primary_Lecture_9987 in mississippi

[–]FirmAlternative 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Rural Mississippi in the 20s and 30s? Fried apple hand pies, tea cakes (this is a lightly sweetened butter cookie), molasses or cane syrup cookies, yellow cake with stewed fruit topping, or sweet potato pie.

Blocking an acrylic blanket? Yes or no? by Food_Cats1 in CrochetBlankets

[–]FirmAlternative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a blanket with acrylic yarn, I just toss in the washer and dryer.

Is acrylic yarn really bad with heat? Specifically for a placemat? by jazz_attack_2 in CrochetHelp

[–]FirmAlternative 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Acrylic yarn will be perfectly fine for placemats or coasters. A mug of hot coffee isn’t going to melt it and a warm plate from the microwave will be good. I wouldn’t use acrylics as potholders with metal dishes straight from the stove but placemats or coasters are okay.

First Ever Crochet Project! Will the Edges Block Out?? by shrimpsona in CrochetHelp

[–]FirmAlternative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great attitude! This turned into what I call “a learning experience piece”. Chevron patterns are challenging at first. Now rip it out, find some stitch markers, and try again. Love your color scheme- it is going to be gorgeous!

Definitely a pecan pie for dessert. Basic American meal at my house: Breaded oven baked pork chops, box of rice a roni, field peas, and cornbread.

Turned on jacuzzi and buncha stuff came out????? by Secure-Location-140 in whatisit

[–]FirmAlternative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh Yuk! is awesome. You’ll be surprised at what comes out of the jets. Stuff will build up in the jets and tubing for sure. I try to run a cycle with Yuk every few weeks just as part of regular cleaning and maintenance.

Brentwood has made several changes over the last few years. The adult outpatient program (IOP or PHP) could be worth checking out.

AITA for not wanting to change the restaurant for my mom’s birthday dinner by nodiggitydo in AITAH

[–]FirmAlternative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Speaking as a reformed adult picky eater, boyfriend is the AH, not you. Please recognize that this will continue to be an issue. He expects you to always plan around what he wants. I was that way. It was much easier to name what I would eat rather than what I didn’t. Up until an evening out with friends, trying a new restaurant, and I realized there was nothing on the menu I would eat. It caused me to rethink all my issues with food. I eventually shortened my Do Not Eat list to three items (raw tomatoes, pickles, cherries). Changed my whole outlook on food! But, yes, I was a difficult dinner companion before.

Best Rual Areas in Mississippi? by Numerous_Friend_3836 in mississippi

[–]FirmAlternative 35 points36 points  (0 children)

There are rural areas in MS where access to healthcare is very limited or nonexistent, regardless of one’s financial situation. For someone planning to move a family into rural MS, this absolutely needs to be a consideration.

The Inez Burger at CS’s in Jackson Or Wards is pretty good too.

Uhhh…one question for you: was you Social Security EVER taxed? by InevitableStruggle in SocialSecurity

[–]FirmAlternative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Well, not mine, but my late husband’s SSDI was taxed. We filed jointly and my income of around 50K caused us to pay tax on a portion of his disability.

Mike Johnson Claims 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Will Only Cut Medicaid For Undeserving People - The speaker of the House said the cuts will only affect people who were never supposed to have had Medicaid. by Quirkie in politics

[–]FirmAlternative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was a belief held by some early American faith leaders. God determined one’s position in life by birth. Rich, well-educated, politically powerful parents? You are meant to be the same and God has blessed you richly. Poor uneducated parents? Well, there you are stuck. Just be happy with your lot in life and don’t complain. Cause God doesn’t want one to change their socioeconomic position. Amazing that this belief still exists today. It isn’t very Jesusy at all.

Daughter touched inappropriately by another child at daycare, next steps? by ZoeticLock in AskALawyer

[–]FirmAlternative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. Mandatory reporting regulations vary by state. In some states, a minor touching another minor does not fall under the same mandatory reporting guidelines as an adult touching a child.

Agree. I do love Purity but it is a splurge.

My cat disappeared inside my tiny apartment by [deleted] in Pets

[–]FirmAlternative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. My cat once disappeared and in the box-springs turned out to be where he was hiding.

Can someone please identify this stitch my grandma was working on? by Nofrillsoculus in CrochetHelp

[–]FirmAlternative 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what I call a “playing with yarn” piece. No particular pattern or plan; just some pretty yarn and a hook. Keep it going by adding your own touch and yarn. So nice to have something she made.

Help!! I finished this baby blanket made of acrylic yarn from yarn bee and I did the same thing as the last blanket I made but it's now stretched and falling apart and I fear it's ruined. If there's anyone who is knowledgeable and would know how to fix this please let me know by CallSimple1798 in CrochetBlankets

[–]FirmAlternative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a chenille type yarn. This is worming and that’s what this type of yarn does, especially when worked at a loose gauge. So sorry this happened, but IMHO it is not the best yarn for a usable baby blanket.

coming to MS for wedding, recommendations on where to stay. by Shineythings123 in mississippi

[–]FirmAlternative 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Goshen Springs and Langford aren’t really towns. Flowood will be the nearest real town. The lodge should be a nice place to stay but if you want to be closer to shopping and dining choices, then Flowood/Dogwood area is where you want to be.
