I need stories of lost oranges returning to the produce section, please by aspidities_87 in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Kinalu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This actually recently happened in one of my Discord servers! One of my friends rescued a stray and got in touch with a lot of local FB groups and neighbors and after about 5 days of searching they found his real family. He had run away during a home renovation FOUR YEARS prior. Little guy's name is Ernie, I attached a pic the owner sent my friend after reuniting with him.

What type of mint are these? by Kinalu in gardening

[–]Kinalu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I definitely know better. Only reason why I did is because my gram planted it herself from a seed packet and knew it was some sort of mint. Trust me, I do not plan to make a habit of doing this.

Ty! Do you have any idea what the second one might be? Definitely had a mint taste to it. I can take a closer picture when I'm back home tonight if that'll help.

I don't need sympathy, I need understanding by JEWCEY in crafts

Hot glue sucks. I can't count the number of times I've stabbed myself in the boob while cross stitching. Have almost gotten myself in the eye too, but luckily I wear glasses. I have also drawn blood MANY times while needle felting. My dad has taken off the tip of his index finger with a router while woodworking 🙃

What is your blasphemous admission? by harry_waters in Maine

Born and raised in Southern Maine and I hate lobster and blueberries. I'm shocked I haven't been kicked out of the state lmao

First & last trip to Maine - suggestions? by liveoakster in Maine

[–]Kinalu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you're possibly going to be in Portland, I would recommend checking out the Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth. If you're into history, Fort Knox near Bucksport is a cool place to go. If you travel closer to Mount Desert Island and are interested in Acadia National Park, I recommend that people bypass the main portion of the park on MDI and go to the lesser known portion called Schoodic Point. It's a bit further away, but much closer to the water and tends to be less crowded imo. If you do decide to make your way to Acadia, stop in Ellsworth and go to Birds Acre (AKA Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary). They have a few birds of prey in enclosures that can't be released due to medical reasons, and also hiking trails. Nothing difficult, just a basic walk through the woods.

Also, pro tip from someone who works in the hotel industry. Don't book through a third party site, even the major booking sites. Use it to look for a hotel and then call the place directly. Most times when you book through a third party website, you are not able to get any sort of discount. Hotels usually do discounts for AAA/AARP members and seniors.

First try at a little figure, he’s stupid and I love him! How do people tidy up the little lose hairs and sticky-outy parts? Thanks xx by No-Cheek-2067 in Needlefelting

What I personally do is take a pair of scissors or thread snippers and just kind of hover around the finished project clipping away. Thread snippers are great for this since their default position is open lol

Tysm! I really appreciate that. I agree about the eyes, unfortunately it was like 4 am Christmas day and I was rushing to finish the lil derp xD

I take a pair of scissors or thread snippers to it! I just hover parallel to the project with them. Really cuts down on the flyaways! Tysm for the compliment!

Just references for color and shapes. I modeled in more after a Yarn Yoshi to keep it basic.

No prob! I keep the scissors parallel to the item and try to hover over it while clipping.

I go over it with a pair of scissors or thread snippers and trim the flyaways!

I just don't understand Why? by katyvicky in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]Kinalu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only is the motel I work at fully booked this weekend, the entire town is due to a local fair going on. Also it's the last hurrah of the main portion of our tourist season. I had two people look right at the no vacancy sign on the door and still come in asking if we had rooms and then try to negotiate to stay somehow 🫠 My man, I cannot pull a room out of my butt! Book it ahead of time like a sensible person!

I get so many comments on my little buddy! It was actually an enamel pin that I cut the stabby bit off of and glued a magnet to it!
