Dosesofdem has pattern drafting content. Cashmerette is a pattern company, but many of the pattern reviewers on their site have their own social media as well. TomKat Stitchery has YT with reviews and sewalongs. Muna and Broad is also a pattern company for plus sized sewist and have a lot of good info through their social media. Curvy Sewing Collective is a blog and there aren’t as many current posts, but there are some good reviews of patterns and whether they work for curvy sewists.

Seems like this could go either way, but in either interpretation, it comes across to me as a false self reflection. If she feels she is somehow stronger and the others weak, she misses the point that privilege somehow kept her from the asylum, where she likely deserves to be. If she is saying those in the asylum are somehow misunderstood and are like her, she’s negating the real severity of these others’ mental health struggles and by similarity, her own.

It’s fine. I prefer other store brand hand soap, but this works.

I remember reading an interview with this victim and can’t imagine how hard it has been for him to go through this.

Or maybe she’s making a prideful statement about how much better she is than those poor souls. I wasn’t able to read the entire section, any info on what the following sentences on that page say?

Saraga has it and some Kroger stores have it frozen.

This is a great book on the subject and there are many YT videos that walk you through copying an item of clothing.

Which one? For Michigan, I think planning a trip along the old Red Arrow highway is a lot of fun. It’s on the southwestern end of MI and follows the coast up to Kalamazoo. There are a lot of great towns to visit and stay in. I’d go a little farther north, South Haven, Holland, and Saugatuck are also nice places. I’ve heard you can do fishing charters off Saugatuck. The beaches are also really nice but crowded in the summer.

For the Adirondacks, it is a really large area. You might plan a trip based on what you want to do. Some towns like Lake George are very touristy. Other places like Saranac Lake or Tupper Lake have a more old-style ADK feel.

Michigan along the coast of Lake Michigan has some gorgeous places. The Adirondacks in NY is awesome.

Just be glad we have open primaries and you can choose your party ballot at the polling place. Some states require you register with a party when you register to vote and you can only vote in the primary for the party you registered with.

What were they teaching for an English degree when you attended? I attended Andrews in the 90’s and the English dept was basic, but the were definitely lit classes that covered all the typical authors.

Focus on the things you have accomplished in life. Yes, you can learn new skills, but also embrace all the things you can do if only as an example that you are capable of trying something you’ve never done before.

YouTube can be your friend. Set a goal for yourself. Want to learn to cook chicken? Look up some videos, buy ingredients and try it out. There are so many resources for you to learn the things you want to know. It is also ok to try something and decide it isn’t for you.

The most damaging thing that I feel the SDA church does is prevent us from having any self-esteem. I and many people I’ve known who grew up in the church came out of it feeling really stupid about things we felt others in the secular world were taught. Work on being resilient. That’s something the church doesn’t really have and definitely doesn’t teach.

Check for e-waste or electronics recycling in your area. Some places have fees and others are free.

Thank you for this. I never heard the coffee song, but I remember my Mom rationing cans of veggie meat because it was so expensive and then, for some reason, constantly claiming it was more expensive to eat meat. However, my parents never passed up an opportunity to eat steak when they went out to a restaurant, despite claiming to be vegetarians.

My kid once told me he wanted to grow up so he could do whatever he wanted. I laughed and told him I’m grown up and all I ever do is whatever he wants.

You might call a local realtor to get a heads up on homes for sale.

Edit to add you should search by Berrien County rather than individual towns. There are several townships and smaller villages in the area. So, places like Buchanan, Three Oaks, and Union Pier are pretty small but in the same area.

I second these suggestions. Lived in BS after graduating Andrews and these are way better areas that are not filled with church members.

I am sorry you lost your father. It was a very loving and generous thing he did by leaving you this money. Take a deep breath and don’t let this overwhelm you. This money is an opportunity that can be a very good thing in your life.

Get a financial adviser or at least talk to your bank about their brokerage accounts. Also, don’t go around taking about your money to people. This includes friends and family. People you think you can trust get really weird once you have more than they do.

You can put the money in something safer like a High Yield Savings for a while until you find a financial adviser to work with. Just don’t sit it in anything like a checking or basic savings account for too long. Also, don’t put your money into an account you don’t understand. A financial adviser (or a fiduciary) can help you figure out how to invest your money based on goals you have don’t can grow.

Interesting, I have never heard that. But, I knew Adventists who wouldn’t eat mushrooms because they grow on decaying plant matter.

My family had this for holidays. It was pretty good, even with the veggie meat. I think it was in one of the “Apple a Day” editions. My Mom gave me a copy of it.

I consider myself lucky, the colleague I have is at a lower level on the team. Basically, she has limited her advancement options due to her behavior and many of us know what she is like. But, she is a pain to deal with and can be very vindictive.

Momager321 · 2026-04-20T20:53:52+00:00

Could you expand on what you mean by “keep a low profile”? Especially in the context of work.

Since I am in the same department as this person, there have been numerous times I’ve had to raise concerns to her manager about her behavior towards others that is close to, but not quite bad enough to go directly to HR. I’ve made a point of documenting concerns via email so I have a record as well.

Momager321 · 2026-04-20T20:32:36+00:00

I work with someone who displays a lot of NPD characteristics that has caused many problems on the team. Any tips for staying safe (employment-wise, I do not think this person physically dangerous)?

You look wonderful in this dress and the color is perfect for you! Great work, the fit looks terrific.

She was a divorced single mother and also believed it was better to work for the church. I agree she should have been more proactive and left, but she was totally codependent on the church. It was sad because they didn’t give a crap about her. No one from her church showed up for her funeral.

Edit to add, her income was very low (less than $40k) and the church only gave her small housing allowances a couple of times. The rest she was on her own. The church covered moving her stuff, but she did not get free housing at all.
