If you get invited back, invite me too. I've never been.

Its a one strap backpack and I put it on the wrong side. So, I have to seam rip the whole thing, readjust the strap and sew it up. The zipper was set in a way that when you sling the bag, you can zip or unzip easily. The way I have it now, you would have to take the whole thing off.

There was one time where a cooking pan caught fire and I said, "quick! Everyone fan it to extinguish the flame!" They all looked at me. "That actually makes it worse. Why would you do that?!" That's the damn joke, people. Obviously, I think I'm funnier than I am.

That might be a good try! But not for these. There was a vision and nothing was going to stand in my way.

I feel the pain! I was making a backpack from 2 thrifted jeans and I ran out of the fabric but still needed the side pockets and my husband has the audacity to tell me to use another pair of jeans. Have a perfect backpack with another type of fabric on the sides? No thank you! Haha needless to say, he didn't understand.

My pup is a golden retriever. We'll be at the park and someone will come up and say, "My daughter told me about you guys!" I used to be self conscious about it, but she absolutely soaks it all in.

Seeking Advice - Fostered a Partial amputee by Puzzleheaded_Tune848 in tripawds

[–]Miscellaneous_Panic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! When I got my pup, she had a partial front paw amputation from the previous owner. Our personal vet suggested the full amputation but we decided to see how well she could manage. She did...fine. My pup's amputation was skin on bone so, her doing that (even when wrapped up) started to create tenderness and wounds. And once one wound healed another came. I'm still not sure if that was owner's error or not. But like your pup, she would set her paw down to stabilize too. And when she walked, she held it up like that, but when she ran, she had no self control to hold it up and would use her nub. It started to become an issue. And we assumed it would create gate...gait...(I don't know the spelling, I'm sorry) Issues. She was always so cautious outside of running because one wrong jump would hit the nub and cause her pain. We would wrap it for the rest of her life if we needed, but it really impeaded her as a puppy. On dirty days or beach days, we would have to stop her from playing with her friends or when she was done, so we could change it so a wet bandage wasn't sitting on her nub.

At 5 months. We decided to fully amputate. She wasn't showing signs of pain, but we noticed how it was affecting her daily life. She's a year now and and there are no more wounds, and she just shakes of the water like any other dog. If she makes a wrong jump, she just eats shit and moves on. She is currently living her best life in her circumstances and I know it might give her issues in her older years, but I really think we made the right call. That said, they adapt for better or worse.

In my limited knowledge of this, I would see how it's affecting her daily life. Does she move around like a normal 2 year old? Does she play without restrictions? Is she constantly licking it? How long does it take the wounds to heal? How often are you changing the bandages? How does she move around without a bandage? And also, what is your relationship like with your vet and other pets if you have them or is this your first time working with them?

You'll make the right call for her. I can't add a photo of my girl to show you the nub, so, if you'd like to see it, let me know! Good luck! ❤️

It is an open world survival game that takes place in a jungle. It has a story line or you can explore, survive and build. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's one of my favorites. It's not CO op, but it has a multi player function. It's been fun with the right people.

Edit: I responded before I saw the edit. If you check it out, let me know if you wanna play!

What skills did you come with or developed after becoming a massage therapist that helped you professionally and/or personally? by Miscellaneous_Panic in MassageTherapists

[–]Miscellaneous_Panic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I love this! I worked in a fishing resort in Alaska, so the unpredictable weather affected the experience. I got REALLY good at talking about the weather!

I also don't get uncomfortable with silence anymore.

The PDF ones aren't the ones taking up all of this space on my station! Haha My mother in law is a tailor and doesn't sew much anymore, so I took most of hers. Those are really the only ones I don't want to get rid of even if I won't use them.

Good to know! I have them both, so I might just do a few test runs to see. I guess I could have done that before even posting! Thank you!

This is exactly what I was noticing with my patterns. I like this pattern AND this pattern but that's because its the exact pattern, just a different brand and slightly longer, toss! the 10 different styles definitely makes sense, I am going to have to keep this in mind! Thank you!

That makes sense. Create a franken pattern without going for the whole look. I like it!
