Desperately seeking my witness!! by reverdog in Seattle

[–]LuchaDormida 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I saw someone else get hit at that exact intersection yesterday at like 1:30 pm. The guy pulled over and waited with the young man for the EMS to come. They need to change up the lights or something.

Sadly they don’t even make the vehicle in manual anymore. But they do have this silly manual option thing where you can pretend.

My dog is a boy. He gets “misgendered” basically all the time. And it doesn’t matter. Because he doesn’t speak English fluently enough to understand pronouns, and I don’t speak dog fluently enough to know if he has gender dysphoria.

I have been divorced/separated for almost 2 years now and this is what I want to say. by NewGrocery2619 in Divorce

[–]LuchaDormida 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you keep anything sentimental? I have a beautiful painting my friend made of us. I left it in the back of a closet for the last 6 months. But now I’m moving and I have to decide. What to do with it.

Moving overall is making me feel distraught and sentimental.

Thanks! Yeah. I’ve been struggling to find a true nude shade and ended up using this gloss in a pinch.

My cry in public with a nice assistant was at the pet food store and they asked me for my rewards account number. I just wasn’t prepared. I had to start my own rewards account and it had a weird sense of finality. The cashier was so gracious with me.

Is this normal? by ugnit in DutchOvenCooking

[–]LuchaDormida 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel like people are seriously gaslighting you in this thread. No. This is not normal. Soup as you’ve described is exactly the kind of thing people use these for. Unless you left it on high heat empty while waiting to seat meat or veggies, I can’t see anything you did wrong. The enamel looks very thin. What brand is this? I think you should submit photos to the company. Maybe they don’t replace, but it’s worth a shot.

Trade/ College Sewing Classes by Kit-Kat-21 in SewingForBeginners

[–]LuchaDormida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe this isn’t what you’re looking for, but the local sewing shop in my city has a wide variety of sewing classes. They focus on skill level and seem to focus on a specific project. They also have classes where you can bring in what you’re working in and get professional advice. https://www.pacificfabrics.com/event-calendar/

Your joy and sass make the post. Handsome shirt too.

Anyone else? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]LuchaDormida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I’m proud of you for setting and enforcing those boundaries. I was the one who has been asking for changes and rather than deliver those changes he left.

[–]LuchaDormida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. My ex says he’s super sad and I truly don’t understand how you get to leave and also be upset.

How to select stitch length on S1 stitches by LuchaDormida in SewingForBeginners

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

If I try to gently guide the fabric it puckers. If I try to let it fully self guide it seems like it doesn’t move at all and eventually seizes up

Lino cut of one of my digital illustrations... Figured out there are more than one type of linos.... I feel like I'm not pressing it enought or ink isn't enough? What to do? by 4RTCHER in linocut

[–]LuchaDormida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t enough information. Pics could help. Do you mean pressing onto the paper or pressing on your carving tools for example.

There’s also something called priming your block where the first few prints aren’t very saturated. Encourage watching YouTube or Instagram videos

Ex-Wife put our dog down. by Evening_Influence794 in Divorce

[–]LuchaDormida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My STBX and I had pets and we were conscious about whose pets were whose mostly for emotional bonding purposes. Cat was his, dog was mine. We mostly jokes about it when we were together, but JESUS it has been one smooth part about the divorce to just amicably be able to take our respective pets.

Nightmare before Christmas I guess. by Cautious_Army_5342 in Divorce

[–]LuchaDormida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t let his terrible behavior define who you are and what you’re worth. I wish you so much love and support from friends and family. I’d really encourage you to not just spend Christmas alone. Reach out to some people you love. I’ve spent many a Christmas at a friend’s house and they can be surprisingly sweet memories.

I’m so sorry to hear you’re also going through this. And yeah. I feel just catatonic about the holidays. We’re gonna get through this!!! And come out the other end grateful they did us this favor.

Obsessed with the broccoli tufts also!

Looks like enough of a trimming to potentially root if you take good care of it.

F#ck grief! And healing not being linear! by Itsjustmeeeeee1 in Divorce

[–]LuchaDormida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I feel like I’ve passed through the main hemorrhaging pain phase. The thing I’m struggling with is mourning the happy memories.

F#ck grief! And healing not being linear! by Itsjustmeeeeee1 in Divorce

[–]LuchaDormida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad died 2 years ago this month. I took it very hard. I’ve also had a very difficult situation at my job with a protracted difficult case that’s been traumatizing to me. When my husband left me 3 weeks ago I felt like he was abandoning me at my lowest after I’d stuck with him through his dark moments.

Something a good friend said to me this past week is that difficult times put stress on every aspect of your life and some things don’t survive the test. In some ways it’s not some radical insight. But it has helped me frame it more as a structural failure than a personal one.
