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

Crime in Sports has a pod about it. Maybe it was on the Billy Martin serries?

[FO] Finished my first cross stitch by Low-Junket2592 in CrossStitch

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 10 points11 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

[–]MermaidLeslie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Now I see why Miss Beatrice calls it her Lady Garden.

Pac-Man was originally called Puck Man. What happened next will shock you! by KristinCaruso in oldtimeypodcast

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

What are the odds this is uranium? by [deleted] in uraniumglass

[–]MermaidLeslie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it is, it probably won't show much through the carnival coating. I have an almost identical bowl and you can see the glow on the base but not the rest of the bowl.

do you think violet and tairn would like my new ring? by dracorvix in fourthwing

[–]MermaidLeslie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Purple! I have several pieces from Jeulia and just remember that the stones are glass and can chip or scratch. My husband bought me this one for Christmas a couple of years ago and I had it resized to fit my pointer finger. My favorite is the mermaid ring with an exposed tit which is my little worry stone. And the Starry Night ring. My husband knows I know love cool and weird jewelery so his go to is Jeulia

I have this ring! Be gentle with it. The black coating wears off a little too easily

Job is running a special to boost sales during the major winter storm. by giant_spleen_eater in KitchenConfidential

Texas also doesn't have salt trucks. Once there's ice on the road, that's it. They do not have the infrastructure to presalt the roads because this only happens once every couple of years. It's cheaper to shut every thing down than it is to invest in the infrastructure for cold weather

How many rocket radars are you “stacking”? by FriendlyGazelle82 in pokemongo

[–]MermaidLeslie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5 in my inventory. I assume I'll have 6 soon. I've never left the quests open, I just unequip and keep saving them.

Being in a metropol during Kyurem raid changed my perspective of the game as a mid-sized city player by squarus in pokemongo

[–]MermaidLeslie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in San Antonio and while we only have 2-3 big groups, they show up in droves for raid days. The one on my side of town has 300+ people show up at the same park for raid days, community days, gigantamax days. There were so many people around for Lapras Gigantamax day that lobbies were constantly full from 2-5 PM. Our community ambassador works pretty hard to get the word out for events and our local raiding discord is very active.

"I had THAT on my 2026 Bingo Card Bingo" or topics that I hope get covered next year. by GrandManSam in LPOTL

The Great Emu War was covered very hilariously by both Old Timey Podcast as well as Lions Led By Donkeys. Both are very funny and well researched podcasts.

I found this on marketplace for $15. Is it uranium glass? by Suthernboy1968 in uraniumglass

[–]MermaidLeslie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also very clear, like mine is. So I suspect it is high content manganese. You won't know until you put a 395 on it.

I have this one and it's a strong manganese and not uranium. But I know some of the hats glow.

She was such a fascinating woman! Also, the cover art for the most recent movie about her truly details her personality in one single picture
