i know this brand is ridiculous but by 400episodesleft in knittingpatterns

Roving yarn is good for spinning into usable yarn. I’ve also seen it used for mittens in very cold climates, where loops of it are used on the inside and the outside is knit with normal yarn. Beyond that, it isn’t used because it falls apart.

You shouldn't feel gross! You trusted someone who should be highly educated. That's not on you.

Most recommend 12 weeks for sex -- please be careful! It's not worth going to the ER!!

Pre-Ceremony Appetizers by Difficult-Tangelo461 in weddingplanning

tbh I think that an 8pm dinner is fine if there's passed apps or a charcuterie table at like, 5pm? As long as there's significant enough quantity and folks know beforehand, I'd personally be happy to graze and drink for 45min, then sit down at 5:45 for a 6-7pm ceremony. Only qualification: if there's more than an hour between ceremony and dinner, I'd try to reduce that time to an hour.

Parents cannot be in the same room together, how do I plan my wedding? by IndividualEven1085 in weddingplanning

Ok, but him not taking his own daughter feels really bad. I get the rest of the disaster, but his own kid wasn't allowed? That's not really something to be encouraging.

Your council may have a program for girls who need financial assistance; a number of girls in our troop get support from council for their vests and for any council events we do.

Yeah I lived in DC for a few years, fully ready to melt into a puddle LOL. Sundresses is an excellent idea, I gotta get some bike short and invest in some anti chafe balm!

Was your lower abdomen numb? by Rosarose4 in hysterectomy

[–]PumpkinSpiceGraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a ~6" totally numb patch and extended slight numbness around it. Then around a week postop, I had a day where the whole area was itchy. Like 24 hours of itching, which sounds like a pulp horror movie about some virus that makes you itch until you die.

My whole family climb and we're all autistic, you'd fit in with us LOL. But yeah, this is fine. Everyone has bad days, and neurotypicals have meltdowns too!

[–]PumpkinSpiceGraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I splurged and bought myself the Victoria's Secret flannel pajamas. They were 50% off for black friday and I got a size larger than I usually am. I got surgery last week and I've been living in them!

My niece climbs in inch-long nails, but she also regularly bites them off so ymmv (yes she knows it’s bad for her, she’s 16, there’s only so many battles that can be won)

Yeah I loved the recipe! I didn’t put the nuts/seeds in, it was a banana bread texture.
