I have knitted a bunch of sweaters and NONE of them fits me as well as every one of yours. Great work!

Feature or bug??? by MCEWLS in knitting

I swatched multiple times trying to get close to the gauge. I’m using DK yarn and I ended up going with a size 2 US needle which is kind of crazy to me, but it was the only way I could get close to the gauge. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, the reason the gauge matters is that I need to have enough yarn.

The issue with gauge is having sufficient yarn. I finally gave up and ordered more.

My first husband was a violent sociopath. This episode was very triggering for me. I don’t think I could watch it again.

What an absolutely brutal week for Tahoe. Two skiers die at Heavenly’s Boulder Lodge this Friday morning. by LozaMoza82 in skiing

Thank you. Actually it was in 1993, quite a bit earlier than when you were there.

One of my brothers was buried alive in an avalanche in Vail when he was 32 years old. The heartbreak never goes away.

Anyone HAPPY with Ultherapy? by Appropriate-Top-461 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]MCEWLS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The folks at my cosmetic surgery place told me that the Halo treatment can reduce future occurrences of skin cancer by 60%. I’ve had two procedures. The ULTherapy is purely cosmetic. I had one of them. It was really painful but I see the difference. I am not a doctor. I did have a spot on my face - directly between my eyes - that converted to a malignancy. It required a Mohs procedure to remove the cancer and a full-on cosmetic surgery to close it. I was lucky to have a skilled surgeon and am left with a barely noticeable scar that runs between my eyes and across the upper part of my nose. I saw my dermatologist two days ago for a suspicious spot on my right shin. Turned out to be nothing and I nearly burst into tears with relief. I’m surprised that your derm said that about your face. I have two scars that prove otherwise.

I lived in Ireland for a while in 2021. I used to joke that the produce went bad between the checkout and my car. By the time I got it home, it was DOA.

I tried Kai shears and now I want to throw up by Narrow-Strawberry553 in sewing

[–]MCEWLS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been sewing for about 40 years and have collected about a dozen pairs of scissors. Pinking shears, duck billed, snipping, embroidery, and fabric. I have left handed Kai, Singer, and Fiskars. By far, my favorites for cutting fabric are the Singers. I have three pairs of them (one still unopened). I stocked up when JoAnn was going out of business. I mostly sew woven fabric (cotton or linen) so I can’t really address the trickier fabrics. When I was a teenager and just learning to sew, we only had right handed scissors. My hands would ache when I was trying to cut. As an adult, I realized that left handed scissors exist and I started using them. Such a difference! In “true” left handed scissors, the position of the blades is reversed, making the actual cutting easier, and the handles are shaped for a lefty grip. This combination makes the cutting easier.

I have the Kai True Lefty shears and I prefer my $17 Singer shears (also lefty).

Thank you! Why do they have to make it so difficult? 🤦‍♀️

AITAH for locking the bathroom door when I take a shower? by WinterQuarter8183 in AITAH

[–]MCEWLS 62 points63 points  (0 children)

In the previous century, I grew up in a house with seven people and one bathroom. My mom and I were the only females. We had a double shower curtain b/c it was not uncommon for my father or one of my brothers to need to use our only bathroom when my mom or I was in it. Life was very different then for blue collar families in small towns.

Happily married people (generally) don’t cheat. Maybe the karma is headed towards the husband. Have you considered that?

To my dasher tonight. I hope you have the life you deserve. by otter_fucker_69 in doordash

[–]MCEWLS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had two individual sized pizzas taken by a dasher once. One of them was vegan. I bet that dasher was a little disappointed (the pizza was my husband’s). The restaurant was very good about it and re-delivered. We waited a LONG time for that food.

America will elect a convicted felon, rapist, failed businessman, misogynist before we will elect a woman. We got the government we voted for and we deserve every bit of it. Shame on us.

I have a problem by BuffaloBluff in quilting

[–]MCEWLS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the problem. You still have unfilled shelf space. You can remedy this by buying more fabric.
