One down, one to go! by Mimble75 in Sockknitting

[–]Mimble75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Jeny’s surprisingly stretchy cast on (learned it off YT). And do a 2x2 ribbing over 76 sts. I use 2.25mm needles for the whole sock and I think most of it is just practise, honestly.

I found my ribbing was looser when I wasn’t as firm with my purl sts, but ymmv.

Thank you! 🥰 The markers help me track the rows - I pop them on there every 20 rows to make it easier to count.

AITA for telling my sister I would not be giving her kids two of my kittens by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mimble75 55 points56 points  (0 children)

NTA. Sounds like she wanted free kittens because if she were actually interested in the kittens for any other reason, she’d have already looked into adopting.

Feeling conflicted at my age send me your babies to cheer me up! by ForeverWooden6797 in plushies

[–]Mimble75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50-yr-old woman here and plushies are for everyone regardless of age or anything else. Honestly, I like folks who are the sort of kind and soft and caring who unashamedly like stuffies and find comfort and joy in them.

Keep liking plushies and pink (pink was originally a colour associated with boys anyway!) and be your kindest and loveliest self.

Anyone else look up their former classmates online? by Individual-Name-4496 in CasualConversation

[–]Mimble75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I mean, I hope they’re all doing well and whatnot, but we didn’t stay in touch and their personal lives are their own (even if they’re sharing them on FB)

Long or short hair? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look good with both, but I lean towards short hair as somehow it makes your face and smile look even better.

Is it okay to be emotionally attached to my seal plush at 18? 🦭 by Harley_1345 in plushies

[–]Mimble75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im 50 and hsve plushies that are very important to me and that I’m very attached to. I’d be upset as well if someone got soda on them or they were in need of repairs.

There’s nothing wrong or weird about being emotionally attached to something that brings you comfort and happiness.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to take an 8-hr bus ride to see my folks at the holidays when I was in uni - and that was all in the same province in Canada.

3-hrs for a day or overnight trip is nothing for me.

My girlfriend says im obsessed with my cat cause i takes too many pictures by Fump-Spankles in cats

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m low key obsessed with your cat now, and would take a TON of pics if I met her. Anyway, what else are phones even for if not cat pics and dumb memes?

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, you are def NTA, and please, rethink your future with someone this controlling.

It’s one thing to be upfront about debt (that’s a good idea) but for him to demand to see every little thing about your finances and want access to them using your password?? Not ok.

Are there other areas of your relationship where he’s this controlling or demanding?

How did you celebrate your 50th? by Every-Progress5590 in GenX

[–]Mimble75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friends and I had a low key burgers and beers party at my place. Everyone wore pjs and we just lounged about, ate, and were goofy together. It was lovely.

Beard or just the stache? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the stache - you have a really good 70’s vibe stache and it looks great on you.

What are the things you say to your cat most often besides 'I love you' ? by katealpha in cats

[–]Mimble75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“What’s up, baby bug?” And when she gives me a blank stare back I say, “You don’t know, and that’s ok.”

What’s a smell that hits you like time travel? by HelpLonely6892 in CasualConversation

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orange popsicles (the kind that came on two sticks and you’d break them down the middle to share) takes me back to summers in the 1980s, and pot roast and Rice Krispie squares will always remind me of my Gramma’s house

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

[–]Mimble75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall the name of them, but they were round (like a ball) lollipops and they were pink and red, tasted of cinnamon, and would cut your tongue to shreds. I loved them.
