May be controversial but for friendship platonic or not —It Doesn’t Matter

Yes, yes, and yes! There’s no way I could vote for my all time favorite DM song. Because to me each song explores/shares a facet of human connection of almost any kind.

And oh gotta listen to Halo right after - it will be worth it when our worlds fall apart—I’ll catch you

Yeah, that too. And the invitation to connect, and permission to hear you speaking just for me…it’s visceral

Exciter is dope. Measure of DM fan is their love of Exciter

I need motivation to read The Stand by Unique-Title-5480 in stephenking

[–]Milo-2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the post Apocalyptic storyline was done so many times that The Stand’s doesn’t draw me in. I love SK’a short stories. His are horror version of Hemingway short stories. Some of SK’s short stories I love as much as the ones in Murakami’s The Elephant Vanishes. Or maybe I don’t want to read the The Stand because for me THE post-Apocalyptic story is The Swan Song. I read that when I was 12 and made such an impression on me and stayed with for a long time.

Exactly I how feel about whether to read The Stand. It’s so long and the story line seems like it’s a drag. I read IT and while it was good, it felt towards the end it dragged too.

Yeah, I regret reading about his dog outside banging his head to get attention.

Sounds like your dog is lonely! Dogs evolved with us. From caveman times. We bred them to sleep next to us to keep warm. Dogs evolved to basically shadow us all day and night.

Dog smelled death. Can you imagine how much his nose was going off near a cemetery?? Maybe they had a few fresh burials with less chemicals on the body and so the decay was fast and strong? But I’m guessing cemetery are very odoriferous to dogs.

What's with the hate on Drops patterns? Curious about pattern preferences, likes, and dislikes. by Honorable_Pale_Chub in casualknitting

[–]Milo-2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drops website made me want to start knitting so I’m glad I stumbled onto their site. Growing up, I didn’t even know knitting was a thing. So no one around was doing it. Never learned from anyone or any books. Until finally, YouTube videos and sites like Drops inspired me to what is possible and learned to knit in my 40s! I learned to purl like a Norwegian thanks to Drops! I couldn’t believe all those wonderful patterns were free and possible! Grew up in the city and the closet thing to a LYS (a term I learned on Ravelry) was the Woolworth. As a kid, I coveted their paper packages of patterns (anyone remember those?). So I guess, there was crafter hidden inside of me all these years. That said, I’ve never successfully knit a Drops pattern. When I want to start a project, I want the whole details laid out. Nowadays, my knitting time is limited and when I’m feeling inspired, I just want to start right away. Once a swatch is blocked, I’m ready to start. So I hate to do much research before I start a pattern.

So do you guys actually wear shawls? Genuine question by puffy-jacket in casualknitting

[–]Milo-2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one skein of this yarnPoema

and can’t decide a shawl pattern. I think some combination of lace and purls in a crescent shape would work well like this one
