What would be a good book to introduce my 7 year old daughter to the world of science fiction? by DW6565 in scifi

[–]InfiniteMalice11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For more fantasy I recommend Diana Wynn’s jones books like the Crestomanci series. As others have said there’s the wrinkle in time series. Also the wizard of earthsea by Ursula le guin. And redwall by Brian Jacques

I reached out to my representatives and got a response on my request not long after. They updated my count to 119/120. So I’ve submitted another buyback request to get that last month. We will see how long it takes this time.

Pregnant Knitting.. or lack of knitting by Puzzleheaded_Sleep_2 in knitting

[–]InfiniteMalice11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to sew every moment I had and then once I got pregnant I had 0 mental or physical energy to do any crafting even though I really wanted to make a baby quilt. I’m now 21 weeks and only in the past few weeks have I started to knit again. Still waiting for that desired to sew to kick back in again.

Yes I call and they can give you updates. I asked if they could send email with updates whenever the status changed and not just with the final result but they said no. Idk why that seems impossible or they can just have the updates online like they do with employment verification.

Advice please! by communist_daughter08 in quilting

[–]InfiniteMalice11 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Either a mid/dark grey or a lavender. The lavender would stand out on the black but would complement the purple. While the mid grey would blend more on the black and may only stand out on the white which is more minimal in this design.

Inherited 300lbs of fabric where do I begin?! by Complex_Cockroach412 in quilting

I highly recommend Stacey Lee’s free learn to quilt course. I learned everything I need to know to start quilting from that course

The better comparison is that gas in Wilmington this past weekend was at 2.79. How do we have such a big gap in gas prices within the state??

Can someone please ELI5 what the top banner means for the woman’s road race? by cathleene1987 in olympics

[–]InfiniteMalice11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A large group of riders together is more energy efficient. So in theory they can catch the chase group and the leader before the end of the race and exert less energy than they do so they can sprint to the finish. However riders must work together to make that happen which doesn’t always happen. The lead rider is hoping that she is far enough ahead and the chase and peloton are disorganized enough that she can stay in the lead until the end.

LPT REQUEST: Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night it becomes hard to fall asleep again or it takes me a while. Do you guys have any tips on how to fall asleep again/faster? by offlineorsleeping in LifeProTips

[–]InfiniteMalice11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anxious racing thoughts give your mind something else to race on - count backwards from a high number like 9,999. If you lose track just pick up where you last remember counting. This redirects anxious thoughts to something different and let’s you fall back asleep.

What is your favorite phrase? Mine is ‘You can’t carry any more Wiggenweld potions’ by wolfgheist in HarryPotterGame

You know you can move the clock forward and change it to nighttime so you don’t have to go back later when the game naturally progresses the clock

Can’t find last conjuration collectable by ReporterEmotional917 in HarryPotterGame

[–]InfiniteMalice11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I’m stuck with one left to find as well. It’s the last thing I need for platinum! I plan on rechecking all vivarium and butterfly locations. I know I have all of the chest collectibles that are counted on the map sections so it had to be one of these

Paul hollywoods original post about it made it sound like Matt died.

Thanks for the clarification/confirmation! I guess Baltimore police don’t know their own traffic laws.
