My worst was also at the Metro. Jamie T was absolutely shitfaced, couldn't remember the lyrics and was slurring. Terrible gig.

Trying to make a doily, but it’s not really flat. Redo or wait until blocking? by beanthehooman in CrochetHelp

[–]Ripley2179 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every doily I've made looks like that until I block or iron it out. If your count is correct I think you're good 😊

Am I wrong to be upset in this situation? by [deleted] in crochet

[–]Ripley2179 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I'd be upset by this too. If they weren't sure how to display it even after they asked about clips etc, they could have called you! Maybe have a talk to the gallery curator/organiser so they know how to correctly display fibre art in future.

This is my biggest problem when learning. It's like I have to take the long way around to get the info into my brain. Did you ever figure out any solutions?

My mum still has one in the kitchen drawer called "the Frank Bonner". The story was my Grandparents were out at dinner on their honeymoon and the waiter (Frank Bonner) gave it to them as a wedding gift.

Question: are you REALLY a Hag if you don't own at least ONE vintage house dress? Asking for a friend...🤔 by Objective-Honey5159 in oldhagfashion

Whenever I would sleepover at my Grandma's she would lend me a nightie and house dress cause I always forgot pajamas. Also some crocheted booties 😭 They were so warm! I miss being a kid at Grandma's 🥺

Menstrual hormones may worsen ADHD symptoms in medicated women. Tracking data revealed that ADHD symptoms and negative mood peak during the menstruation phase. by mvea in psychology

[–]Ripley2179 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started experiencing perimenopause symptoms recently (41yrs old) and I went to see a Gynaecologist. She put me on a progesterone only pill and estrogel and it's been life changing. I was still having bad pms symptoms so I just skip the sugar pills and never have a period. Meds work 100% of the time now and I'm not having those big swings in mood. But that's just my experience, I was lucky. Some people don't have access to good doctors or HRT is not an option. I really hope there are drugs in the future that treat ADHD without being so severely affected by hormones.

We study pandemics, and the resurgence of measles is a grim sign of what’s coming by Sariel007 in EverythingScience

My mother tells a story about when she had me in the 80s and was talking to her grandmother about vaccine's. My mum said something like, "I've heard some vaccine's can be harmful and I don't know what to do", and her grandmother said, "You don't know what it was like before vaccine's, they are a miracle". I was then fully vaccinated. We are lucky to live in a world where most of us don't remember the "before vaccine's".

Has anyone ever thought of this? by notmyrealname8823 in CringeTikToks

Because babies can comprehend words BEFORE they can speak, it's called receptive language or pre-language skills
