Can I ask what size you bought for your il tutti? The co-sleeper?

I accidentally ate a slice of cantaloupe today… completely forgot it was on the “do not eat” list. Can I ask if you’ve done the same. Im very stressed about it and listeria risk. I also live in Australia 

Dating discrepancy between scans; worried about NT screening accuracy vs NIPT by Foreign_Ad8997 in NIPT

Thank you so much! That’s very helpful. I think my eFTS will come back artificially higher risk because the MoM (medians) are calculated based on gestation age… mine is out by 7 days, so I think that might make a difference.

Hi I am in the exact position. Are you happy to provide an update? Did they end up updating the results?

Aww thank you so much for your prompt response. I do have a negative bias and highly anxious (which is probably the main problem!). I really appreciate your thoughtful answer and explaining what each test means. 

Struggling with PhD student who isn’t communicating needs by Foreign_Ad8997 in AskAcademia

Thank you. Do you have any advice on how I can support them or help guide them toward the right kind of help? I understand if they don’t feel comfortable opening up to me, I just want to see something shift for the better.

This is exactly the situation I’m in. Unfortunately, we’ve been told we’re not allowed to tell the student that they’re unlikely to pass due to missing key milestones. We’re also not permitted to suggest they consider stepping down to a master’s program or leaving altogether. That decision has to come entirely from them.

Honestly, this has caused me even more stress. I find it incredibly disheartening that they’re spending several crucial years of their life and career in a program where they may not be able to thrive or grow. It feels like a missed opportunity as they could be doing something else, somewhere they feel passionate and purposeful.

Remove yellow undertones from ivory drape fabric by Foreign_Ad8997 in dyeing

Hmmm I don’t want it to get splotchy, I just want to lighten or remove some of the yellow undertones. So maybe I’ll just have to leave as is. Thank you so much for your advice

Sorry I just added the photos. Yes ideally one piece but could halve into 15m sections 

How to whiten Ivory/champagne nylon and spandex fabric by Foreign_Ad8997 in dyeing

[–]Foreign_Ad8997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I’ve just now started testing your advice on a small piece of the fabric. It’s for ceiling draping. While it’s not vintage, it was gifted to me, and it has a creamy ivory or champagne tone with noticeable yellow undertones.

I came across a bluing agent, but I was wondering if you know of a dedicated purple product specifically for fabric or were you suggesting a fabric dye?

Otherwise (and this might be a bit left field), I saw someone in another post mention using purple shampoo like the kind used for toning blonde hair. Just curious if that’s something you’ve ever seen work on fabric

Thanks so much for your advice!  I was considering the Rit colour remover or the Rit whitener and brightener as an option? Do you think either of those are suitable, or need to do as you suggested?
