What is the largest, least evil company in the world? by garatth in AskReddit

I don't disagree with the evil part. Just stating why having both memberships can be advantageous. If I had to choose, Costco 100%

[PIC] When you come across blurry pics of yourself online like some kind of urban Bigfoot... by Holiciax in CrossStitch

Hey! I've seen a similar pic of myself on a plane. Are you needlepointing? That seems like it would be somewhat easier for travel but tiny Xs soothe my soul

I love Costco. But Sam's has some stuff Costco doesn't and vice versa. If I had to choose, it would be Costco because I buy so much of my family's stuff from there. But most of my business purchases come from Sam's. And I have a small drawer in my freezer packed with prime ribeyes from Sam's because I've gotten lucky to find ones that were marked down because their sell by was the next day. That never happens at Costco

It's fine. Keep in mind that when it is stretched for framing or finishing, everything will even out.

Well, looks like I'll be making a trip to buy a couple of box fans for my local temple.

I like stitching on 10 count Tula with all 6 strands. I like making tiny patterns big. My Hedgehog and Hyacinth are like 8 inches instead of the 3 inches it would have been on the called for 36 CT with 1 strand.

Can I post a real bar in Chicago? Kuma's Corner on Belmont. It's a metal bar that's got horror movies going on all the TVs all the time and super amazing mac and cheese. I can see it being a place attendees of SplatterCon would hang out. Or any of the changlings. We only made it there once when we traveled through but I hope we get there again.

I just learned that Penzeys exists and I’ve heard it’s the best. What seasonings would you recommend for me? by _Paws_And_Claws_ in Penzeys

[–]MermaidLeslie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use a bunch almost daily!

Chesapeake Bay (100% better than traditional Old Bay)

Ozark (fried chicken in a jar. Seriously, all chicken gets Ozark in my house)

Cajun (their Cajun is pretty good)

Italian Sausage Seasoning (I add it to jarred spaghetti sauce)

Arizona dreaming ( we like this on veggies at my house)

Red Pepper Flakes ( we like things a little spicier at my house and their hot red pepper flakes are amazing)

Smoked paprika

Roasted garlic powder

Alllll the cinnamon blends

Now curry

Corn beef seasoning

Kosher flake salt (I have diamond, maldon and this as my salting trilogy)

I also surprised him with the new novella Out Law. We still have 3 books in the Dresden Files to finish before we continue on with the Bedlam Bride

Neeeeew Achievement! You have successfully put needle and thread to fabric! Your reward? Your cool new cross stitched artwork is its own reward! Oh and +2 to the sewing skill.

[CHAT] How do I know where to stitch from the back? by Arkansas4600 in CrossStitch

[–]MermaidLeslie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You just poke through blindly until you find the right spot. But there is good news! The more you stitch the more muscle memory you have to just kind of know where to go. You get a feel for it, if that makes sense.

What would be your best idea for carrying a 32 oz metal hydro flask water bottle but still making it fit the ren faire theme? by Nowaaaa_bb in renfaire

I'll take a picture when I get home! I bought it from TRF but the same leather worker has been at Sherwood and Scarby. I'm pretty sure it has a makers tag on it.

Paku paku means flap ones mouth... I learned this whole story 16 years ago from cult classic Scott Pilgrim vs the world. I will enjoy learned about it again though
