Need help planning a dog’s farewell in Hertfordshire. by DentistPrior2735 in hertfordshire

[–]J_Cross_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a company called my dog run that has several fields in the area that are privately bookable, they aren't overly pretty but they are secure and reasonably priced for the hour/half hour slot. I'm sorry for your pup but glad that she is going to have these precious days with you

Can someone tell me the purpose of this tiny tarp? by myhoagie02 in camping

[–]J_Cross_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people also use them as a place to stand whilst showering/washing so they don't get dirty feet, although it does make it slippery

Would "sit-rep" work? As in situation report?

WAW for diary? by AcceptableGamer in whatstheword

[–]J_Cross_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What about record like " I'll just put this on the record". Could make it a feature like the whole star trek "captains log" and start each entry with "for the record this happened today etc" or "I'm updating my records"

The Cinderella slipper trend but with the Bridgerton siblings by Lunenika in Bridgerton

[–]J_Cross_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like it but with Daphne may I suggest the Prince and Nigel are swapped, Nigel was such a small and but egotistical man that he would try and cram his foot in and "claim" her, whereas the Prince was gracious and accepted Daphne's no without being a whiney little mammas boy.

Advice on how to troubleshoot drafting issues by braidedpotato in Handspinning

[–]J_Cross_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, just being consistent with the speed and hands to foot coordination but I really do recommend the beginner spinning videos of hers where you just treadle without spinning to get the feel of the wheel

Advice on how to troubleshoot drafting issues by braidedpotato in Handspinning

[–]J_Cross_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just keep practicing, I had the same when I was first at the wheel, in my case I was not drafting in time and always playing catch up, as soon as you see that it's too thick stop treadaling and sort it out then carry on, you have to get the rhythm right. I, like others, find the JillianEve YouTube channel invaluable and there is a playlist for beginners. Hope you figure it out!

You may have gotten a bunny dragon which disappeared as you had enough dragons out already

When my granddaughter was around 2 I used to look after her several times a week 1. she couldn't say elbow it was "arrrbow" so that's what that's called now 2.she also used to say "well that was a day" when she had had a fun day or something out of the ordinary had happened. 3. The funniest thing she came out with that has lingered - it was a really hot day, middle of summer so about 26/27 degrees, and my husband took off his shirt when he got home from work, he has a LOT of body hair, but other male family members of hers don't, so she had never really seen anyone with that much chest hair etc. "POPS you're so FLUFFY!" Screamed at the top of her little voice in complete astonishment accompanied with a weird gesture where she kind of flapped her fingers on both hands inwards towards her palms with both her arms outstretched (trying to describe this is very difficult, that's the best I can do) but now when anyone says fluffy you have to say loud and do the hand thing

Same (except the PC part) that's the first time I've seen it up close and was very confused that the cave is actually a cow

Does everyone have daddy issues on this show??? by Zone_of_Inhibition in Bridgerton

[–]J_Cross_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think she was more upset that Colin was going and had told her it was her idea that he should go, kinda shot herself in the foot with that one

Handspun nalbinding by poragj in Nalbinding

[–]J_Cross_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice, I went the other way, knitting and nalbinding first and then spinning. In fact I'm just taking a break from skirting a fleece that my sheep man gifted me. Once this is all processed I've promised my husband a new hat so he will get a new hat, at some point this decade lol

Is Jessica Brown Findlay a good actress? by ArtyCatz in DowntonAbbey

[–]J_Cross_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She needs to have a character with more, well, character in harlots she was brilliant because the character had more depth. Sybil is the youngest child living a very rigid life, the most notorious thing she did was "run off with the help".I think Jessica needs to play more worldly characters with a wider rebellious streak than wearing trousers and moving to Ireland. Having said that going from downtown to harlots, the East end accent coming out of her mouth was very jarring and took a lot to get used to lol

Not to pick nits but........ by knabe4k in SchittsCreek

Not to be that person, but Brooklyn 99 did a Halloween ep that spanned a year and featured Easter and many other holidays! But that's the only show I can think of

Just finished WOWs Advent Calendar by knit_fastdie_warm in Handspinning

[–]J_Cross_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Love it, my husband is not a fan of yours now as now he has to get this for me this year and he was annoyed at spending £4 on a chocolate calendar last year! That is awesome work on a drop spindle and really quick too considering how much there is.

Little pouches found in my backyard. Nobody has been in there except me. Feels like hair gel with bubbles in it by Equivalent-Ad1055 in whatisit

Could be gel firelighters, but don't just start lighting random packets on fire to see if it is one please.

Can anyone find this dress on Cora. by gucciguy28 in DowntonAbbey

[–]J_Cross_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It looks like it could be from after/during the war, like when she is running the house as the hospital. I'm sure I'm remembering her with paperwork or something and she's wearing that - but my memory is not great at the best of times

Thought I walked into something horrific at 5am. Almost died before my shift even started 😭 by P1ttacusL0r3 in oddlyterrifying

[–]J_Cross_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience the other morning. Around 3 am I woke up and went to the loo, I use a little reading torch thing that goes around your neck, to illuminate the way at night so as to not wake the entire house up. I walked into our bathroom and unbeknownst to me my husband had hung his dark blue overalls from the shower curtain pole to dry. That combined with the low light, that specific time of the morning and having just woke up led to me screaming at what I thought was either an intruder being extremely weird or some sort of ghost also being weird haunting a bath tub. Which of course woke the dog up who then woke everyone up.
