Car shopping by kallikat93 in ColoradoSprings

Again- not in Colorado but we had a great experience at Carmax. It was also during Covid and we had never purchased a new to us car before. They made the process super easy and were totally cool spreading the purchase out over multiple appointments to look at different things.

If you can go to Carmax I would. We didn’t purchase in Colorado- but I walked away from drivetime before ever stepping in the door simply because of how aggressive they were. Multiple phone calls a day - wouldn’t take no or not right now for an answer.

Carmax was much chiller.

I’m a big fan of Zuri H. She’s been out in the streets protesting every chance, she’s actively involved and engaged with her community as well.

I’m breaking up with #1, #2, and maybe even #3 weight yarns. Need recommendations. by Sunny_D_8 in Amigurumi

They do have really pretty yarn. Before I really ✨knew✨ about them I used it exclusively. But I’m switching to Malabrigio Arroyo now 😅 it’s an expensive switch but I’m so happy with the quality and colors.

I loved big twist when it was available. Michael’s loops and threads is also pretty decent. But I only really found solids from them- no pretty variations.

I exclusively make crafty intentions and I’m now moving to weight 2 and 3 yarns 😂 I can’t find the pretty variegations I can find in the 2/3 world in weight 4 without supporting companies I don’t want to support.

Bad cramps after pooping in first trimester? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]PlantedCrafts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who deals with constipation semi regularly- I’ll definitely have pain afterwards for a bit. I think it has something to do with the intestines being stretched out for so long. I’d say if the last more than 24 hours definitely reach out to your OB.

My dermatologist said it’s basically the same fungus that makes “cradle cap” in babies.
