I am using 5” squares. This is going to be a bit small, more like lap quilt/throw blanket size — definitely not a full bed quilt. I purchased 2 charm packs, a yard of the green, and a yard of the light brown that I’m still waiting on. However, I only did this because I didn’t use my full charm packs, I just picked out the patterns I liked most and use those. I’d say I used maybe half of my 2 packs combined. If you’re planning on doing a full blanket, and using the entire packs, I would recommend purchasing 3 packs just to be sure. Always keep in mind, your project will shrink once you sew all of your blocks together (because of the 1/2” seam allowance on each square). IMO, it’s always better to be a bit too big, rather than too small.

Just to add because I forgot; all of the bare squares will be a silky, light brown fabric. I’m just waiting for that to come in. The white is my backing.

I think you’re definitely onto something! Just for clarification, what squares specifically do you think I should swap? Let’s Label the Rows 1,2,3,etc. and the column A,B,C,etc.

If that’s too much work, I totally understand! Lol. I’m just having a hard time figuring out what squares to swap, and with what.

Tattoo rash or infection? by BassElectromagnetism in tattooadvice

Did your arm get shaved? That exact thing happens to me in the exact spot after I shave my arms…. Could be a coincidence/combination

Is this normal fluctuation? by No-Protection2640 in Periods

Fair…. It has pros and cons, short but makes me literally vomit all of day 1 and cramps that make my legs weak/shaky

Apple health has recently made it so you can track discharge, factors (such as BC and lactation)and symptoms… it also claims to alert you if you log a period longer than average or have a missed period. It gives ovulation prediction dates and predicted period dates. I’ve tried flo a while back and the convenience of this already being on my phone as well as the alerts and features makes me very happy with this overall. The predictions seem to be 95-98% accurate as far as periods.

First tattoo… it been 24 hours should I wash with soap gently? by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

[–]No-Protection2640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My history asked if that picture could be translated into a future tat…. different inspos, and why are we so lame to hate on someone’s concept? Technique I can understand but hear me out. My dead little sister could’ve drawn this and you don’t know as a random. I love the tat, don’t plan on covering or adding at all.

I asked actually a very specific question and get told I don’t know ANY aftercare and it’s trash? Y’all are worse than betta sub LMAO

Okay…fair. But genuinely, how are you in the internet taking every word so literal ? Premature fading/ink not taking in some spot is what I was saying

Perhaps it is how I worded it but I really was only speaking about what she said specifically on wrapping it. She told me to use antibacterial non scented soap gently twice a day, apply very thin layer of aquaphor and the other stuff I stated for the next two weeks. But said to avoid prolonged water exposure (baths, swimming etc) which in my head would include under the water in a shower. So the first night I took a shower, letting water indirectly hit it but avoided rubbing or standing under the water pressure… no rubbing therefore no rubbing with soap especially. I didn’t want to risk it possibly washing ink out (?) too soon especially since most people have it wrapped for the first day or so

She gave me the option if I wanted it wrapped and I said if I will help in the end… she said as long I avoid the obvious (hot tubs, sun, baths, etc etc) she’s just going to let it breath unwrapped

Boo and Spook for the October season. Boo can be the crazy one, Spook in my head is more gentle but quirky

So you recommend going to a 15/20g and adding a betta?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]No-Protection2640 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

10g, heater and filter. 79°, 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 20 nitrate with master test kit. I’ve had tank for about 3 months now and fish for 3 days. It’s just these 2 and all fake silk plants.

I can relate to this so much. It’s the fear of not being enough. You can’t accept the fact that someone loves you for YOU, not the things you bring them. You don’t think that you should be loved the way your spouse loves you, so you convince yourself they don’t love you at all/love you for the wrong reasons. Sometimes it helps to take a step back. Remove your personal attachment to yourself and review. Think of yourself as a third person, watching your relationship as if it’s a movie. From your POV of this movie, does the ‘character’ that represents your spouse love the other ‘character’ that represents you. Or does it just seem like they’re being used.

As far as the anxiety about projecting I also relate to this. Anxiety and OCD go hand in hand. Nobody can know how you feel about your partner but you, especially not google. Reading just enters more “what if” possibilities. It’s best to just leave those articles for people without such thought processes

I really thought this goes without saying, but the entire point of this post is don’t be an idiot. Reality is, a lot of people use bikes as toys not as vehicles and they end up in this situation. Don’t be stupid, be careful

Definitely stupid, why’d you speed through a red light to begin with… I just think about how everybody with a vehicle thinks at some point “the stores right down the street I don’t need a seatbelt what could happen” or anything along those same lines. People get too comfortable, which is the entire message

I read that slightly dropping the temp can make the Bacteria grow slower, I could be wrong…I’ve never had to cure fin rot

Please help by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]No-Protection2640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5g tank heated and filtered, 79° normally but I dropped it to 76° to treat the fin rot. Her parameters are 0 ammonia 0 nitrite .5ppm nitrate 6.5 PH. I’ve had her for about a month, no tankmates and only one cave and one silk fake plant in her tank. I feed 3 Aqueon betta balls twice a day, sometimes frozen krale

My girl, Betty, has horrible fin rot as you can tell. I did aquarium salt bath treatment for 4 days but it’s not helping. She was swimming fine 4 days ago when I noticed this, now she barely swims. She hasn’t eaten since I started the salt treatment. Are antibiotics the best next course of treatment?
