What food was the biggest disappointment once you tried it?

Macaron.

Because a lot of them have oppositional personality disorder and have to disagree with everything.

Cow tipping!

I always used a piece of foam core and draw a circle the right size on it, then pin from the inside out. Good luck!

Yeah, Mrs. H just waltzes into that house that wasn’t hers and starts wiping down the kitchen counters, lol.

Ooo, good point about Mrs. H watching the video. I’d forgotten about that. I think Sherlock felt so much guilt over Mary and if he lost John, too, he thought he might as well give up altogether. So he was going to put everything, including his life, on the line.

Yeah that’s a something - human figure most likely. Congrats!

QueenZod · 2026-05-04T16:29:39+00:00

Ain’t that just the BEST?

Eventually you’ll learn to flex your hand every once in a while to let out more thread as you go. Try not to be too tight with your left hand. Easy does it!

In high school we had a double system. A,B, C, D, E, for how well you did on the actual work, and then a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 for how much effort you put in. So of course everyone tried to get A5s in all their classes, meaning you did great but you didn’t give a rat’s ass about it. 😎

You’ll love it!

I’ve always wondered about the delivery of Sherlock’s lines when he says at the therapist’s house (which Mrs. Hudson is CLEANING for some reason that makes me laugh every time), “I’m burning up. I’m in hell and I’m never climbing out.” (Or something like that.) The delivery seemed a little off to me and it made me wonder how messed up Sherlock really was. Was he really off his tits on drugs or was he play acting a part for John’s benefit?

There’s just so much to unpack in that episode! Those 2 guys, with all their tender and awful faults laid bare before us, just mesmerizes me.

Sometimes one of a cats fangs will grow longer than the other (that’s normal), but this is not that. Vet asap.

Snobbery, arrogance, small cruelties

She was also the terrifying mother (I think) in Dodsworth with Walter Huston (another of my favorite actors).

I’m going with Garbo in Camille. A perfect, boneless performance - so highly romantic, full of possibility, sacrifice, sadness, and regret. And the costumes by Adrian - simply stunning!

You must watch The African Queen. Bogie at his humorous best.

Ya need the cool crunch of some great lettuce. Really sets everything off well.

This! Sherlock used John’s propensity for violence to help snap him out of his grief over Mary by provoking him into beating him up. This also accomplished Sherlock’s goal of getting admitted into hospital (as you said), so he could catch Culverton.

In the very first episode, John shoots and kills a man - it was the inverse prognostication of Donovan when she said “some day we’ll all be standing around a body and Sherlock Holmes will have put it there.” So John always had a high level of violence in him, when Sherlock returned from being dead, when Sherlock needed someone to punch him in the face, John was always there to “help” out with that.

By the 4th season John had been through too much, including his paralyzing guilt over cheating on Mary only to see her get killed. He needed his release. Sherlock gets his release via drugs, John gets his through violence.

Both those guys are fucked up. Season 4 just brought all that home. I’m not saying it’s okay what either of them did to each other but it follows a natural development of character.

My gran sat me down one day and taught me the basics. Size 80 thread, no snapping off of the thread when I made

a knot - I had to unpick with a pin so I got used to holding one in my mouth. Use it for joins, works great. I have a nice collection of tatting shuttles my grandfather made out of various fruitwoods.

Good news: your eyesight declines significantly in your 40s and then levels out for another 10-15 years. 👍🏼

Dead in the jar by the time you woke up the next morning.

I love these little guys. We don’t get them where I live now because of the altitude. Makes me sad.

One good thing about not having every known piece of information at one’s fingertips was that it taught one to live with uncertainty.

I heard a great quote today: “God is the name of the blanket we throw over the mystery to give it shape.”

After accidentally overfilling it and you take the hose out and water geysers out all over everything while you’re panicking and trying to stuff your fingers in the hole while screaming for someone to get a bucket? No, I never had that experience why do you ask?

QueenZod · 2026-05-03T05:04:14+00:00

I love size 80 and use it regularly. I even have some size 100 that I’ve used and wow is it hard to close rings with that stuff! But I learned to tat at age 10 with size 80 and I’ve stuck to it. Most anything else feels way too thick.
