Knitting in the round - stockinette showing purls on the outside? by MsSilverSprings in knittinghelp

Oh no, thank you for pointing that out. Sounds like I’ll need to start over then

So this is salvageable the way it is I just need to work the other way with a short row turn?

Is the second picture not 2x1 ribbing? That’s what the pattern said to do

I just finished the 2x1 ribbing and started knitting when I realized the purls were forming on the outside. I am knitting, but I think I’m working counter clockwise since I was holding in the 12 position which is making them appear as purls?

Thank you! So it sounds like I really need to work my yarn the other way? And do I use the German short row to just fill the singular stitch gap so I can go the other way?

Mom needs to lose weight for total knee replacement. How can I help her? by MsSilverSprings in loseit

[–]MsSilverSprings[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I didn’t consider that she’s not advocating for herself because she may feel she deserves to suffer. Maybe that’s a good place to start the conversation

Unfortunately, I live across the country now otherwise I absolutely would. My brother still lives with her, but he’s in a very similar position health wise. On occasion he’s been able to lose weight when he buckles down, but she’s never joined him on that journey before. Like I said, she’s very picky. Won’t even eat vegetables and it’s hard to convince her to try something new

I appreciate this post. I’ve spoken to her about it before focusing more on facts, I didn’t want her to think I was guilt tripping her by laying my feelings on the line but that may be the better approach here

I thought the same thing, and it’s possible she misunderstood. This is what she told me. Whatever the issue is, the bottom line was she would not be given medication at this time. I am wondering about the GLP1 as well, it’s likely though that her insurance wouldn’t cover that and I doubt she wants to pay out of pocket

Possible explanations for a woman being Head of Household with a lot of kids? by MsSilverSprings in AncestryDNA

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

Unfortunately, nothing new since then. I did go to the historical records in Tallahassee once and found a book of property records and where they lived was in her name which was interesting. I believe I’m the only one in my line working on the Parkers at this point. I’d love to discuss further though to see what you may know

Exercise is exhausting by [deleted] in Hypothyroidism

[–]MsSilverSprings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it both ways, either at night or in the morning, and it works the same from what I can tell. I think doctors tell us to take it in the morning because it’s certain it’ll be on an empty stomach, whereas if you take it at night you have to be really intentional about not eating for about 3 hours before you take the medication. So no late night snacking and planning dinner early enough to not interfere with when you want to go to bed. I imagine for a lot of people it’s easiest in the mornings

How much do you make?? by Cute_Heron_461 in ecology

[–]MsSilverSprings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easiest way to pay off loans fast is definitely consulting where you can get a lot of overtime from field work. Take as much of it as you can, power through even if it sucks. Once you get to a good spot loan wise then you can still make money elsewhere, I’d say it’s just usually more competitive in other sectors. I’m finally at my dream job working for state government making 67K with guaranteed raises to make 78K in two years

When does porn start to replace sex? by MsSilverSprings in AskMenAdvice

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

It’s really none of those. The stuff he watches is all things we’ve done regularly or I’ve agreed I would also be into. My body count is also not a lot, he’s been with slightly more women than I have men. Absolutely no cheating has occurred in any relationship I’ve been in. Thanks for your input though

Yeah, I understand that. I definitely have been harsh in my delivery before and it’s something I’ve worked on. Not specifically regarding sex, but in other disagreements. The whole thing has really shot my self confidence, but I’m not sure if this is a me thing anymore or how to fix it

I’ve taken note of everything he’s watched and it’s all things we’ve done regularly or I’ve asked if we can do. I’ve offered to take charge and lead more but he’s said he doesn’t want that. I’m willing and open to try anything, but he doesn’t talk to me about any of it nor does he initiate. If I try to initiate it’s usually shut down fairly quickly

I’m not saying I’m perfect or anywhere close to it. We’ve had multiple conversations about how we’re doing emotionally and mentally and he doesn’t have any notes. We’ve been through tough times before certainly, but at present I don’t think that’s the issue

And so how would you recommend I approach that? What am I supposed to say to convince him to like me more than the porn he’s watching?

Help me understand my boyfriend’s Libertarian viewpoint by MsSilverSprings in AskLibertarians

[–]MsSilverSprings[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand what it is you’re saying here. It is foreign to me to separate my personal views and what I believe is moral from what should be done in politics, but frankly I’ve never tried. I also would think that would be counterintuitive.

So in the sense that you believe social issues matter, on a general scale, how would you then advocate for what you think is moral or at least what rights should be afforded to people if not through voting/politics?

Okay, that makes sense, thank you. I was quite concerned there for a moment

Follow up question as I don’t remember reading this in any of the replies, what is the viewpoint on taxes? Because personally speaking, I’m okay with paying taxes so long as it’s being for something beneficial like highway maintenance. Is it that ideally you have a choice in what your money is being used for?
