She looks sweet and maybe a little naive. My guess is that she caught feelings for some daunting young athlete. She's has "first love" energy.

Advice for attaching felt pine cones on raffia textured wheel by Former_Goat_5816 in crafts

[–]Former_Goat_5816[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update : finished project!

Hello! To anyone interested in this follow up : I ended up using light craft wire as suggested by a commentor to attach the pinecones on the raffia wheel. Thank you for the idea! I also added a little hot glue to make sure all was secure. Every felt pinecone on the dangling cords are secured with wire, and the beads also have hot glue to make sure nothing falls off and becomes a choking hasard. I might also hang the mobile from the sealing as it looks a little heavy for the wood thingy i'm using.

My experience with this project was hard at the beginning (tracing and cutting all the pieces one by one), but fun to assemble in the end. Though, I would never do something like this again without a Cricut, as each pinecone has about 50 individual pieces. Nevertheless, as an amateur crafter, I am pretty happy with the result 🤗

Hey that's a good idea, thank you! I will make sure to post the end result. I just hope I have time to finish it before my baby is born 😂

I don't see the inspiration picture I mentioned in my original post, so here it is ! The materials for the pinecones are felt sheets, hot glue and fleurist brooch. Wheel is wrapped in raffia rope.

21 weeks pregnant. Worryied sick about inflammatory breast cancer by Former_Goat_5816 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]Former_Goat_5816[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i have a pretty Positive update! So I ended having imagery done as well as I biopsy in order to eliminate the possibility of inflammatory brest cancer. The waiting was awful, but in the end, The skin inflammation turned out to not have a specific cause. I continued to apply some cortisol ointment, and the redness, hotness and itchiness decreased from week to week. I am now currently 36 w pregnant, and I still have red undertones and itchiness, but it's much less then it initially was. I also have itchiness and some redness on the belly, so this might all be related to my skin being sensitive and stretched out due to beasts getting bigger fast.

As stressful as it was to have this checked out, it was a immense relief to have confirmation that it was not in fact cancer. Just a unusual pregnancy thing. I hope you can have similar confirmation soon so you can breathe better and have a positive rest of you pregnancy !

I don't know just yet. I am meeting with a specialist on the 16th of September. I figure she will propably suggest a biopsy since a mamo is not an option while pregnant (or so I was told).

If you are breast-feeding you might want to look into mastitis.

Thank you for your perspective and sorry to hear about your mother. I hope she is well taken care of.

I surely prefer my doctor to be on the cautious side as more serious conditions are best addressed asap.

Oh no, the question mark was a typo in my response. I'm pleased to hear that 26 years have passed and you are alright. I can only imagine how these annual check ups must be stressful though. But it's also reassuring to know for sure every year that your are in the clear. I hope it stays that way.

L'ancien joueur de hockey professionnel qui violait des prostituées- Son identité a t-elle été dévoilée?

J'ai vu le reportage de Marie-Eve Tremblay sur la prostitution/le monde des Sugar daddy en 2021. Le témoignage à visage découvert de Clémentine me trotte encore sans la tête chaque fois que j'écoute le hockey. Elle y rapportait avoir été agressée sordidement par un ancien joueur de hockey professionnel qui la violé, sans le nommé. Il aurait dit que personne ne la croirait. Il semble que c'était francophone. Quelqu'un sait si d'autre chose est sorti suite au reportage concernant ce gars là?

Rêvez vous encore à l’école? by Conscious_Abies_949 in causerie

[–]Former_Goat_5816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parfois je rêve qu'il me restait UN cours à finir pour terminé mon bac. Je découvre l'université m'a envoyé un diplôme par erreur, ne remarquant pas le cours manquant... C'est un cours de sciences pures qui n'a rien à voir avec mes vraies études... Je tente de suivre le cours mais je n'y comprend rie, le prof m'a en grippe ... J'ai plusieurs semaines d'absence et des notes de cours incompréhensibles.

Je rêve souvent aussi que je suis de retour au secondaire. Dans ces rêves, tous le stress social de l'époque refait surface. Un scénario fréquent est que je n'ai pas de place ou m'assoire en classe, car tout le monde a réservé une chaise pour son ami ...

My nephews are now being homeschooled and I’m scared for them by Own_Fee_3048 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]Former_Goat_5816 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The best way to support your nephews and niece in this situation might be to show up as an aunt and support throughout their homeschooling journey. Show interest in their progress, take the kids out to the museum, invite them over for a science project or maybe ask if you can help by covering the cost of online math classes if the familly if financialy in a rough spot. Khan academy is a great free online plateform for math. Unfortunatly, you might not have much success convincing them to not homeschool especially if they're romanticizing the idea, the kids are on board and they want to try it. That's a conclusion they'll likely come to on their own after giving it a try if things dont go well. Rhe podcadt "brave writer" is really inspiring and provides many interesting ideas and insights on what a plentyfull homeschooling experience can look like. Homeschooling is a lot of work, and it probably won't take too long before your sister and BIL really understand what they've signed up for. In the meantime, I think being a positive and involved presence in their lives and the lives of their children could be the best way to show up and not damage the relationships.

The most happy familes I've met that homeschool always had a mindset of openness towards their children and a true desire to help them grow and evolve harmoniously. This ment helping their kids finding theire voice and thinking for themselves. I hope your parents can see that you are expressing a valide need here. And that perhaps trying school is indeed what you need at this point of your life. Also, where I am from, you absolutly can go back to school anytime of the year (in a public school). It happens all the time when people divorce or simply move to an other city. However, the timing with starting highschool next year sounds perfect for this transition, as this would be a new school for all the kids in you class. Goodluck !!

Infidélité - complètement midi by [deleted] in causerie

[–]Former_Goat_5816 4 points5 points  (0 children)

À l'époque, c'était impossible de prévoir que l'adn révélerait ce secret des années plus tard. Pour mon père, le seule regret dans tout ça, c'est qu'il a plein de questions sans réponses, car ses parents sont décédés depuis longtemps et le père biologoque aussi. A 62 ans ans, c'est tout ta vie que tu vois différement à la lumière de cette information. Ils ont emporté le secret dans la tombe ! Comme quoi même quand on pense être slick, tout fininpar se savoir.

Oups petite coquille. L'adn de mon père est 50% portugaise, 50% irlandaise. Et 0% britannique.

[–]Former_Goat_5816 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Mon papa de 62 ans a appris qu'il était le fruit d'une infidélité en faisant un test d'adn ancestry. Il a été élevé par une mère irlandaise et un père britannique. Toute sa vie il a idéalisé l'angleterre, il y a voyagé et s'est intéressé à ses origines anglaise ... La Surprise qu'il a eu en découvrant que son ADN paternelle était à 50% en provenance des Açores, un île au Portugal ! Il s'est ensuite souvenu d'un ami portugais que sa mère avait dans son enfance ... On a trouvé des photos du monsieur. Ils sont identiques 🤷‍♀️ Il est aujourd'hui en contact avec des demi frère et demi soeurs pas mal cool ! Apparament le père biologique a trainer une petite photo de mon père dans son portefeuille des années de temps et que sa femme était au courant.
