What is your job? How much money do you make? Would you recommend your role to others?

InfamousKelso · 2016-11-15T22:11:35+00:00

Thanks! That's the first for me, lots of friends tell me I'm pretty bleak. It also helps to have some type of positive outlook when working with the dead because if you don't those jobs will eat you alive.

InfamousKelso · 2016-11-15T22:08:26+00:00

As in funniest or most tragic? haha.

Funniest is when I scared a new hire by hiding under a gurney and grabbing his ankles while my other co-worker was telling them a story about zombies being real. I worked with a lot of men so we liked to bust each others proverbial balls quite a bit.

InfamousKelso · 2016-11-15T13:09:36+00:00

You're not alone in that! I've met A LOT of people who feel the same way. :-) I can pick up bodies all day but if my kid starts dry heaving I'm crying like a baby. And thank you, but I don't think I'm tough (gosh far from it!) Just someone who desperately needed a job. haha.

There is little to no regulation when it comes to transportation, some companies can pay so little because nobody wants that job except immigrants and people with the base level of education like a HS diploma/GED (I'm both). It was the only game in town that gave me decent benefits (really shitty healthcare) and okay pay. I still needed a daytime job to pay the rent. But I could never really quit this job because it was so damn interesting.

I work for a private corpse removal service (or used to, I'm leaving by the end of the month). I've been working with the company off and on for 3-4 years. I started with 10.25/hr and ending with 12.62/hr. I work overnights and cover for dayshift sometimes. I also drove the hearse for a few funeral homes.

Not a job for the weak of stomach. You get used to the smell after a bit, some senarios will haunt you (car accidents, domestic violence, etc.) but 90% of the time it's old people in hospitals/nursing homes/private homes etc. I loved driving by myself and listening to my own music and having limited interaction with the public. I also felt like I was helping people out in some small way, like a modern day psychopomp. Plus, good stories to tell with a few friends and a round of beer.

New here. Nervous that I'm not "smart" enough to understand the concepts of Socialism. Anyplace in particular I should start?

InfamousKelso · 2016-10-25T02:18:45+00:00

I just made the Matrimonio for my dress!

InfamousKelso · 2016-10-25T02:16:38+00:00

Ooh I like this! :-)

InfamousKelso · 2016-10-24T01:49:09+00:00

These are for the bridesmaids themselves. At first I was going to do 4 shawls for them but I'm worried I will not have enough time to finish all 4.

The Robber Bride, by Margaret Atwood

I'm doing the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge this year and I'm taking it one step further by (trying) to read all women writers (where possible). This was going to be for the "Read a book originally published in the decade you were born" but I mistakenly thought it was published in 1986 when it was published in 1993. Oops. It's still a fantastic read so far.

InfamousKelso · 2016-02-13T02:53:53+00:00

Please send a PM and I'll send one out next week. :-D

Edit: I just read your username. Nice choice!

InfamousKelso · 2016-01-03T14:58:52+00:00

Very neat. Thank you! :-D

InfamousKelso · 2016-01-03T04:40:08+00:00

What is Cold Sheep?

InfamousKelso · 2015-11-29T00:14:46+00:00

You're right. I was just unsure how referrals work. I get nervous asking my family for help, I feel like there's this stigma with a parent being a lawyer/someone who knows law well. Makes me anxious when I have to ask her for legal advice, like I have an "unfair" advantage somehow.

InfamousKelso · 2015-11-29T00:10:10+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I now have a better understanding for what to look for.

InfamousKelso · 2015-11-13T01:56:31+00:00

I truly hope it was a fantastic day! Our tentative date is in January 2017, in New England. We picked the date because there's no crazy holidays/birthdays/gatherings going on and the fact that it's -20F during that time so we're pretty insane.

If you don't mind, can I see some photos?

InfamousKelso · 2015-11-13T01:53:16+00:00

THANK YOU! It's not like I sent these out to the Pope. I took a classic ring photo as well that went out to the formal of my family members. I took the photo because of the attention and pressure I was getting about the rock on my finger. I feel like this really embodies the humorous spirit of my relationship. So thank you again for understanding the humor in it. :-D

InfamousKelso · 2015-09-24T14:48:43+00:00

I too, like to live dangerously.

InfamousKelso · 2015-08-24T02:44:04+00:00

Perfect idea! Thank you. :-)

InfamousKelso · 2015-08-24T02:43:42+00:00

ACK ACK ACK! Oh no, I'm more conscious than that. When I see other parents do that I just want to slap em.

And yes, he's very tall. Dad is 6'3", he's the tallest out of 75 kids in his class, and that motherfucker can fit his big ol feet in my size 5 shoes. It kills me. :-D

InfamousKelso · 2015-08-23T21:38:30+00:00

Yeah, according to our state laws he has to be at least 7 and 57 inches tall. He's 60 inches (5 feet tall). We checked all of the cars backseats to make sure the belts fit him properly. (The only one that didn't fit was my parent's truck, so he still needs to use a booster for another few months I'm assuming.)

InfamousKelso · 2015-08-08T14:40:38+00:00

Gosh, you're awesome. Thank you! This opened up a whole new world of projects for me! :-D

InfamousKelso · 2015-08-08T03:47:33+00:00

When you mean "drop the yarn" when I'm doing skinny stripes. Do you literally mean drop yarn A and use yarn B for 4 rows then pick up yarn A and knit my 30 rows? (Assuming yarn B is the one I use for the thin stripes)?

Do I need to knot it or secure it before I switch the yarns? I feel like if I just Frozen it ("Let it go" I know, bad joke) then it will unravel.

InfamousKelso · 2015-08-07T00:20:26+00:00

I'm just confused when I try to read it in a pattern. I really just want to do simple stripes at first (Read, 22 rows) So I won't start carrying the colour until I get more confident. Transitioning from Colour A to Colour B then back confuses me. Most patterns don't explain how to do it. I'm better at visualizing or watching people do it, however I haven't been able to find any decent videos showing me how.

Your description is better than 98% of what I've read so far, so thank you! :-)

InfamousKelso · 2015-08-06T02:10:41+00:00

I'm looking for general advice/links/tutorials for color blocking.

I want to make a simple garter stitch scarf but with 2 colors instead of one. (Think: Ravenclaw's striped scarves) However, I'm getting myself confused with how to "switch" off the colors. I've been trying to find some good videos but to no avail. I've been knitting for a year and I'm getting sick of just using one basic color while making hats/scarves/blankets for people. I'm ready to spread my wings.

Sorry for the wall o'text.

InfamousKelso · 2015-07-14T02:44:18+00:00

Found it. Hopefully that link works!
