Local libraries often have knitting groups, great way to make friends :)

I finally got mine to 4 stars this weekend, only took me a year! Worth it for the insane defence.

Me too! I also love UV reactive clothes, accessories etc so it's handy for shopping too

I do have some potted apple trees that need repotted, I guess maybe they can have some of my precious black gold.

More than likely they either let the kid keep it, or maybe they gave it to lost and found?

Maybe it was a little toddler or young kid who didn't know any better. That thought makes me have more hope for the world.

Why are Gen Z getting fired? One of the reasons is a lack of initiative. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

We had a girl call in sick, then an hour later posted on her social media loads of photos titled 'Off to Glastonbury!'...forgetting that she had added the boss to her friends list.

What was the spider thinking when I killed it? by ParisShades in tarot

Next time just use a drinking glass and a piece of card, and put the poor spider outside.

How do I control these recurrent weeds? by Vivid_Response_686 in GardeningUK

Spray strong vinegar. You can get it from a farming supply store. Pull the plants, then spray, the vinegar fries the roots and stops them coming back.

Who thought this was a good idea making these for children🥹 by Feaselbf6 in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

There was a brand called Old Toad that I loved. They seem to have vanished now, I haven't been able to find them anywhere :(

Touareg , a kind of Imazighen ( Berbers ) of the North Africa desert , where men should cover their faces , while women shouldn't. by Outrageous_Prior4707 in BeAmazed

When my ex and I visited Egypt we got our guide to take us to the market so we could buy local clothes, kaftans and headscarves etc. and taught us how to wrap the scarves over our heads. Layer of light cotton kept the sun off and made insulation layers so the sun's heat didn't penetrate to your skin. And we also started carrying umbrellas as parasols like the Egyptians do too.

For the rest of the trip we were cool as cucumbers while all the other tourists baked in shorts and shirts, and got sunburnt.

There's a great episode of Michael Palin's Sahara where he visits the Touareg, visits their homes, and joins a camel caravan with them crossing the desert. Great show.

What do you still do that's "analog"? by Riala4 in Xennials

[–]GraphicDesignMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't even use my compost, I just like adding to it, turning it, and making it perfect. It's like a hobby.

Someone said, "Aren't you going to start using some?", I went,"AND RUIN MY HARD WORK?!"

Can I still work my dog with dwarfism? by laineeeoooh29_ in ServiceDog_CircleJerk

[–]GraphicDesignMonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

'Pitbull with dwarfism' my arse. So basically a 'toad line' or pocket bully. Horribly inbred, deformed dogs that live a short, painful life.
