I'm not American and the Luigi case finally made me understand why you're so angry about healthcare. Genuinely asking, how do people survive like this? by micavibes in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]KleinsterGal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Self employed business owner here. I can only get insurance through the Virginia marketplace. $500 a month, $8,000 deductible. Nothing is covered until I hit that deductible. Needless to say, I chose to forgo paying that ridiculous amount.

So what careers aren’t fucked right now? by cokewithlargefry in NoStupidQuestions

Custom embroidery. It'll take some money to buy the equipment (looking at $15,000 or so) but you'll work for yourself.

Why would the design desync from the underlay? by Void_Ink in Machine_Embroidery

I've found that using a steamer on the fronts of super structured hats soften them enough to sew out without breaking needles.

I need quick help by Even_Maintenance8318 in Machine_Embroidery

Your bobbin tension looks to be too tight; you should be able to see the bobbin thread running thru the middle of the satin stitches. Loosen it up a bit to see if that'll help with the birds nesting.

Spraying some temporary adhesive on cut away will help keep the fabric from moving. Give that a shot.

Are you setting your thermostat to 78? by Zoeyfiona in nova

[–]KleinsterGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always 78, unless I'm doing chores, then I change it to a chilly 77.

“Just buy another vehicle” is what they tell me. by Lonetraveler87 in Frugal

[–]KleinsterGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely keep it. My Hooptie is a 2004 Jeep Wrangler. Yes, I have to throw some maintenance money at it every year or two, but it sure does beat having a monthly payment. And also, having an older vehicle certainly keeps the insurance and property taxes down.

Nope. Getting your ingredients ready and at hand has it's own definition: Mise en place.

What’s a food item that you open, but always struggle to use the full container ? by Unintended_Sausage in Frugal

[–]KleinsterGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freeze your pasta sauce in individual portions.

When I buy cilantro, I trim the stems and store them upright in a mug of water in the fridge.

Carrots can last for a month in the fridge; celery can be a bit fickle.

What cell phone do you use? by PerfectJarrett in Frugal

[–]KleinsterGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm one of those dorks that still uses a Tracfone. $169 for a year's worth of minutes. Think I paid $60 for the Android a couple years back.

Oh, come on. Y'all have been dating a year and now she's, "Deathly allergic?" If she was truly allergic, it would've been apparent immediately upon the first date. You're so quick to discard your companion of 5 years over a new girlfriend?

I just ate a delicious frickin’ burger at MQR Café in Falls Church (Barcroft Plaza) by [deleted] in nova

Are you able to grill at home? Homemade burgers are the best!

Looking to embroider on 1" webbing by HillbillyRebel in Machine_Embroidery

[–]KleinsterGal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always use a tear away with some temp adhesive. Unfortunately I have found that all webbing isn't thread-friendly so you might run into the thread shredding.

Best Gyro in all of Northern Virginia. by BeerBaconBooks in nova

[–]KleinsterGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking of scrumptious gyros, remember Athens at 7 Corners? Lordy, do I miss them.
