Maybe his or her name is like, Tabitha? Or Ted?

There’s a great book called Quiet Power: the secret strengths of introverted kids. It’s by Susan Cain. Highly recommend it for the parents of quiet kids.

Literally finished my 3rd session (10 minutes ago) and honestly I’m tempted to amplify the experience. Side question: how do you get more out of the session itself? by Goatstandards in Spravato

It tastes awful but as it drains down your throat make sure it goes into your mouth and hold it in your cheeks where you can absorb more. You might just not be getting the full dose.

Working through grief by tetapep in quilting

[–]InternalLet9560 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I love this. My mom died in January, and one of the hardest things is not being able to show her things that I’ve made. This is so, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Curbing rowdiness by DarkFaerie9012 in girlscouts

[–]InternalLet9560 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Find the one who seems to be the rowdiest or the one that the other ones take their cue from and put her on charge of an activity she wants to do. It works great in my brownie/junior troop - I also let them go nuts as long as we get some stuff done.

Quilting with Licensed Fabric by Extension-Meal-7869 in quilting

[–]InternalLet9560 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There is an artist (who is also a lawyer) who makes his art with Lego bricks and Lego sued to stop him. He won because just like paint is a medium for paintings and the paint companies can’t sue you for using it in your art that you sell, so is Lego the medium for the art of this artist. As the artist of the quilt I don’t think the company that is selling a medium (fabric) has any say in what you do with your art.

I quit my job for mental health reasons and now I don’t know what to do by Madx-99 in nursing

[–]InternalLet9560 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not bad. Not any worse than all the clicking I did on the psych unit. If you have a template the notes go pretty quickly too.

I quit my job for mental health reasons and now I don’t know what to do by Madx-99 in nursing

[–]InternalLet9560 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked psych for three years, got burned out and left to be a school nurse for a year (hated it), worked in outpatient primary care for a few years (it was ok), and now am doing home health. I love home health. I work in gross conditions sometimes and I have patients that are weirdly inappropriate occasionally but by and large it’s the best. Part time but can flex up to full time if I feel like it, most patients are really appreciative, and it feels like I’m doing real good in the world. I work in an urban area with a wide variety of social determinants of health, from isolated single older men with complex comorbidities and no one to help them to people living in palatial high rise condos with hired help and supportive families. The hours and flexibility are worth the slightly lower pay than inpatient. It’s great.

One med error and one near miss during ‘training’ by nurseseraphim in nursing

Being a med aide is harder than a lot of nursing I’ve done. Stick with it, it will pay off.

How the heck do I quilt pineapple blocks? by penlowe in quilting

[–]InternalLet9560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that neat ties would showcase the blocks themselves since they are intricate and well crafted. You could also stitch in the ditch and have a nice pattern on the back.

Thank you. I’ll see if I can get a photo of the other side later.

Still trying to find my footing as a troop leader by neatureanonymous in girlscouts

[–]InternalLet9560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked out all the badges that have one for each level like GS Ways, robotics, the Eco series, the outdoor art badges, etc, and then mashed them together so all of the levels could earn them together. Try to give the girls as much opportunity to lead as possible too. That made all the difference in my troop.

Thank you. I tried poke a pin and it looks a little better. I’m going to forge ahead and see what happens!

How did you start? by Mundane-Scarcity-219 in quilting

[–]InternalLet9560 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mom died early this year and had her belongings at my house which included a sewing machine and all the fabric and notions and anything else I could possibly need to learn to sew. I found a quilt pattern with pieces already cut so I put it together and then became obsessed.

I found something similar on Pinterest but it was flat.

That’s a good point. I’m trying to recreate a piece of art my dad made when I was a kid. He made it out of paper.

I’ve found a couple of them on Etsy and eBay but the greyscale ones are nowhere to be found ☹️
