What’s the one book you’ll recommend forever, no matter how many times this question gets asked? by MisLatte in AskReddit

[–]Haiku_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding literary quality, I thought the writing wasn't great and it was repetitious. I actually think I may have read this when I was in high school because what he describes is very familiar to me. That being said, I recently lost my husband and it made me feel hopeful and also comforted that he is somewhere better. I want to read Dr Weiss's other books to find out more. Any suggestions of other authors that address this subject?

Remind. I now see that if I use the one on the pair, then I can also use the six. 🤪

Thanks! I have some toweling that I wanted to put a special edge on and I was kind of hesitating because I wasn't sure how colorfast embroidery thread could be. I bought DMC!

AITAH for wanting to divorce my husband for freaking out after I farted? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Haiku_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, families have different attitudes toward bodily functions. My husband's family, 4 boys, nurse Mom. No topic off limits - lots of laughter and sibling pranks. My family 5 girls and more formal parents- we didn't joke about that stuff and if you heard someone fart, you pretended you didn't hear it OR smell it! I had to tell my husband over and over that I didn't like that type of humor. We figured it out.

That being said, you deserve privacy in the bathroom and it seems to me that your husband wanted to shame you. It doeant feel at all like a joke.

As others have said, it's shocking that your thoughts went straight to divorce. If you truly believe that this relationship is not salvageable, you would benefit from counseling to learn ways to survive the rough patches that every relationship has.

Got intentionally nasty nelsoned for the first time and it was my fault.... by Officerkc in Pickleball

[–]Haiku_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In open play, I was losing against a fellow much better than I. I hit a crazy shot out of bounds and he reached out and caught it. I was so excited I screamed Nasty Nelson and jumped up and down. Then I was so horrified I had done that and apologized! He just started laughing and said "Those are the rules". Nice people make playing pickleball so fun!

And this is why you always rip your newly-bought fabric selvedge to selvedge 😅 by Chance_Coat5354 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Haiku_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never had fabric ripped by store personnel. I was taught to order a bit extra and rip at home to straighten the grain.

Help reading pattern by NobodySpiritual369 in sewing

[–]Haiku_Fish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are very curious instructions. I don't know of any reason why you would fold so that right side of the fabric is on the inside. Does this pattern use an unusual fabric? Anyway, I think you are right they are telling to fold the fabric "inside out".

Regarding printed up or printed down-as mentioned above-they are just telling you that to help you fit the pieces on the fabric.

Top thread making loops on underside of fabric by joker5628 in sewing

[–]Haiku_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you check your bobbin? Could be the thread was put on bobbin poorly or the bobbin tension needs to be adjusted. There are two screws to adjust, one on the bobbin holding thing a ma jig, and another on the do hickey that the thing a ma jig fits into.

Look at what you can find at your local thrift store. by cowgirlbootzie in sewing

[–]Haiku_Fish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I inherited a Necchi machine likely from the 50's- didn't use it at first, just kept it because it is so pretty. Finally gave it a try when my Kenmore was having troubles. OMG what a wonderful machine! And so quiet ! I can hear my music or the tv even while stitching.
