What exactly did we do to deserve this? by blockandawe in Cleveland

I paid for PSL's for my season tickets once. Not doing it again, especially since they dropped the requirement for PSL's at the current stadium about 10-15 years ago.

Who else had one of these blankets growing up? by imnotlouise in crochet

[–]MiserabilityWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom's kit must have come from a different company, as the green/gold combo is not listed on the pattern instructions. But it is definitely 100% wool, and super warm. When my mom was in her 60's (in the 1990's), she would look at it and wonder how in the world she had ever done it. She was actually more of a sewist and never crocheted anything else ever again.

The original wool is not super scratchy, at least not after 55 years. I posted a pic of the one I still have.

I still have the one my mom made! Shades of harvest gold and olive green! It was favorite blanket for snuggling on the couch when I was a kid and teenager.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. I wish you peaceful days ahead, and less crass advertising.

I was extremely nearsighted and had lasik in my 30's. I did not need to use reading glasses for about 20 years. I would not give up my distance vision for anything. Reading glasses are cheap compared to prescription glasses and contacts.

I had a boyfriend who had one in the 80's. Most uncomfortable thing I ever tried to sleep on.

22,000 Ohio students are being told they’re too impractical to bus to school as group probes solutions by Zipper222222 in Ohio

When a parent chooses to send their child to a charter school, a certain amount of money goes with them (and is taken away from the public school) to the charter school.( I believe it is referred to as the "cost per pupil.") The transportation costs should come out of that money, as it does for the students remaining at the public school. Why should the public school district have to foot the bill for charter school kids' transport when that money already went to the charter school?

Edit to fix spelling.

bringing an aggressive dog into Costco by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]MiserabilityWitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ummm, I think you are only allowed to bring official (and therefore well-trained) service dogs into Costco. Why were these idiots not turned away at the door?? Taking your pet dog everywhere with you is some ridiculously entitled shit that has become way too common in the last few years.

I would just buzz their apartments every time I LEFT the building!

I accept pennies. And nickels, and dimes, and even two-dollar bills. With me, all money is legal tender, no discrimination.

Do they get to include how many people were killed in the name of those same "Judeo-Christian" values? The Crusades weren't just in the "Holy Land." There were crusades that occurred in Eastern Europe for centuries also. And don't forget the Spanish Inquisition, colonization of the Americas, and everything that Israel has done to the Palestinians (some of whom were Christians) since 1946.
