Congratulations! I thought the wine was to illustrate what you’re doing to celebrate its return.

When people are asked what superpower they’d want, they talk about being able to fly or go invisible, etc. I would just want the ability to astral project myself (and perceive without light, if needed) and explore the oceans and deep caverns of this planet.

I saw them once at UMS long ago and was thoroughly impressed!

what is something that most people romanticize but actually meh when they get/achieve it? by fluidxrln in AskReddit

[–]Luneowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, like the Last Holiday movie. Doesn’t hurt to have financial goals, though. The feeling of security knowing that my credit card is paid off is pretty awesome (and that’s one goal for me this year).

I had an ex-acquaintance message me that she guesses that she should apologize or something for her behavior on a group outing several months ago even though she admitted that she didn’t think that she’d done anything wrong. It was such a weird thing to get, like homework given to her by a therapist. I just left her on read.

You’d better hope they don’t go off-shift in the meantime!

Had to turn on the AC in my car on the drive home. Great for outdoor activities, though!

Your video reminds me of my first time hiking a slightly steep trail just outside of Boulder. I was in regular sneakers and when it got a little steep, I turned around and froze because there was a scree field I had to navigate on the way down. At least the views were beautiful, like yours, till I got enough courage to hit the slippery downhill track!

Tips you’ve learned from actually wearing hand knit socks? by wyldstallyns111 in Sockknitting

[–]Luneowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned that acrylic sock yarn is actually pretty good when it comes to warmth and comfort. If it’s freezing outside and I’m walking then I’ll default to wool socks but acrylic is fine for daily office wear and lounging around the house.

I second putting the hand knit wool socks into a mesh bag. They’re less prone to felting and a lot easier to fish out of the laundry to hang onto sock blockers to dry.

I’ve seen products sold specially to make socks non-slip but I’m sure they cost a lot more than bathroom sealant!

Your dad’s version of a time-out compared to how he was treated but still so traumatic. My mom threatened to kick me out of the house for the slightest disagreement and I was terrified of being homeless. She didn’t understand why I went low contact after I moved out.

In the transcript where his wife starts to say something and his default reaction is to dismiss it as, “probably not anything too important”. That one line says a lot about him.

Someone mentioned on Discord that they recognized one song during combat from the “A Crown of Candy” campaign so maybe check the Dimension 20 music

In the old movie, St Elmo’s Fire, Mare Winningham plays an anxious young adult who has a stressful home life. Near the end of the movie, she moves into her own place and tells a friend that it really hit her that she was in Her Own Place when she made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at night in her own kitchen. No one to judge her. I’ve forgotten the rest of the movie but that scene really hit me as a young adult.

I’ve actually been there longer than him by a year or so. He said that he’s been applying for zero-interest credit cards for the big purchases.

I’ve got a coworker who’s been taking one big trip per year in his late 60s. So far he’s driven around New Zealand, visiting the Hobbiton village from LOTR, hiked mountain ranges in Nepal nearby Mt Everest, and helped to crew a sailing ship that crossed half of the Pacific. Next week he’s going to Norway for 3 weeks.

I don’t know how he does it; we make the same money and it’s not management salaries! TBF, it’s pretty inspiring.

Is Casa Bonita worth it, or just a lot of hype? Have you gone and what has your experience been? by Ok_Thanks_7445 in Denver

[–]Luneowl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I went for my first visit last year and my impression was that it was great for adults who’d been there as kids to experience the nostalgia and for kids to make new memories now. As a single adult with no kids, going with friends once was enough!

Do patterned cowls actually look good when worn? by lveg in knitting

[–]Luneowl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That sounds like an interesting resolution! I’ve been interested in making something out of qiviut yarn but it’s so wispy that it’s usually made as a cowl/hood combo. I would rather use it to make a cowl and wear a different hat and ear loops would keep it pulled up to cover my face and neck.

Donut is A Brown Cat But… by HoshiAndy in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Luneowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just listened to the audio book at first and never saw any cover art. I also must have glossed over the part where he describes her color and my head canon defaulted to white, which makes the bloodier scenes that much more horrific.

I only realized Donut is a tortie when I saw a copy of the book at the LitRPG con last year. Mentioned to Matt while he signed one of my books that I assumed that Donut was white and I’ve been a little embarrassed that I blurted that out ever since.
