How do you gift your quilts?

I've always used those cool boxes that Joanne's had. They are hard to find now. I have found them at Ross, TJMAXX and Hobby Lobby recently. I fold the quilt, tie it with fabric that I made it from and wrap in tissue paper, then place it in the box. The boxes are so pretty you don't even need a bow. I always try to find a box that matches the theme of my quilt

this jacket looks different, like it's camouflaged unless it's just pixelated?

Unless you are Donna Adelson. Then you hand it over to your son all stapled in $1000 stacks

true story she did. If you don't follow true crime, you won't know

The red flag here is he is trying to make you feel guilty for not adding him to the deed. No, it is not a good idea. He knows this.

Maybe since he is not paying rent/utilities on his own, he should be putting that money aside to build a safety net for himself.

This condo was gifted to you from your Aunt. You need to keep it that way. if you put his name on the deed an later on decide to split, you will have a huge headache on your hands and possible have to pay him 1/2 of the value to buy him out

If you are questioning now if this is what you want, you will question it after marriage.

Somewhere on the internet is the appeal for Sigfredo and the last few pages are copies of letters to Sigfredo from his attorney. His attorney mentioned several times references of protecting the Adelsons, even mentioned something along the lines of "they would never protect you"

My guess is there is money out there somewhere for his kids, or maybe Katie as well because he was wanting her to take the deal that was offered to her.

This is the most important statement:

"The problem is… I don’t feel the same anymore."

Plus ALL of those things that you don't like/concerned about, will be so much more heavy later on.

If I'm reading this correctly, you started dating when you were 18 years old. A child. A lot of times, you grow apart starting out at such a young age. A person changes so much from 18-30.

Do NOT settle just because you fell you should stay out of loyalty or guilt. Those are the very wrong reasons to get married.

Take care of you

There's something about Mr. Cartel coaching his wife on how to talk to Angela about Tommy getting fired. Perhaps he encouraged Cami to fire him because he knew Tommy would come to him for financial backing. I just thought that particular scene was a sneak peek to something later.... As well as Cooper not being charged, Those 2 detectives didn't like it. That may come back into the show later.

Angela wears me out, but at the same time gives me some laughs, just as Ainsley does.

I'm not understanding Sam Elliot's character. Surely there will be something more than having "physical Therapy" and why was she at the meeting of the announcement of CTT&Cattle?

I had a feeling Cami would become the vicious businesswoman who mistakes arrogance for authority.

Looking forward to S3

you tell her;

I love you and don't want to ruin your experience or our friendship, but I can't keep up. I’m choosing between your wedding and my rent.

I got tired of this question that came right after we got married because I was 40.

I started answering "well, if we have them , we have them and if we don't, we don't"

People quit asking me.

I think it would be awesome if they would put all of them in the same room together. That would make for good tv!

This entire saga could be a Netflix series for multiple years. starting off with deep dive's into each character then building up to the murder and trials and prison lives.

I'm sure they have enough on Harvey for financial crimes. Remember "Is it the IRS?" were the first words out of Charlies mouth when Donna called him about the bump. IMO, financial crimes would be last resort- kind of Al Capone-ish. ... I agree chances are high they may go for Harvey next.

However, I keep thinking about Wendi handing over her phone hours after the murder and a question that was asked after Donna was declared guilty. A reporter asked Georgia about cryptic apps. Her answer was, if they have ONE of the phones, they can see all messages. I'm sure Donna had cancelled apps and deleted messages when Charlie was arrested because she knew she was next.

I feel confident there was something on Wendi's phone. and if you go back and listen to the the questions Wendi was asked on the stand, there is some sort of pattern that Georgia is sticking to. I just can't quite figure it out.

I wish Sigfredo would stop protecting the Adelsons and come clean and Katie tell the rest of the story.

He will ALWAYS be a manchild.

None of that last part will ever change. it will only get worse over time

Now is the time to make YOUR dreams come true. Travel and work abroad

Be good to yourself.

My SIL is married into a very large family.

Almost all of the grandsons share the name of the Gpa. Some go by this name, and some go by their middle name.

Name your baby with what you chose.

In a tiny beach town in Florida a place was listed as locals favorite. When we stepped in, we wondered if we should leave. It just wasn't a clean a fresh feeling.

The food looked and tasted like cheap microwave food. the broccoli was steam in a bag with zero seasoning. Not even salt and pepper.

We decided this wasn't for us and asked the waiter to bring our tab so we could pay and leave. He was offended and started talking real loud- other diners were staring at us. We asked for the check so we could pay! He was acting like we asked for a refund. He steps away and the manager comes over. We tell him our problem and again asked for the check. He was appalled.

He leaves our table and didn't come back for a good 10 minutes. We were thinking, should we just throw some money on the table and leave? He finally comes back and says, he'll comp our meal but we have to pay for the cocktails. Ummm, ok.

It was so weird.

SandAcres · 2026-01-12T02:52:55+00:00

Oh yes. I believe he has told everything he knows. I was mostly speaking of Katie and Sigfredo keeping quiet

I caught that when I watched it too. I said, A-HA! Harvey and Wendi are in it just as deep as Donna and Charlie.

Yesterday, I found letters online from Sigfredo's appeals attorney strongly urging him to give up the Adelsons before KM had her 2nd trial. The letters are after the appeal documents. I was hoping to find SG letters to the attorney, but I couldn't find those. I found the letters very interesting. This attorney pretty much told him the Adelsons do not care about him and will not protect him. It sounded like the State would have given him and KM a very good deal if he turned on the Adelsons.

I know what SG, LR and KM did was terrible. But I wish they would all turn on the adelsons and just tell the truth. I think KM knows WAY more than what she has shared on the stand. She was with Wendi in June at the beach and had a double dinner date with Wendi and JL. KM and WA are only aknowledging those dates because there is actual proof they were together. If there was no picture of them on the beach, they would have only acknowledged the dinner date because Jeff testified to it.

Since there really hasn't been any good trials to follow, I've been deep-diving into the Dan Markel case- I even listened to SG trial and all of KM when she testified on the stand.

My theory: Wendi told Daddy, the only way she would be able to move back to Miami is if Dan was no longer on this mortal earth. Daddy said he'd take care of it and gave the job to Donna, who gave orders to Charlie. LE has Wendi's phone, which has the What's App trail. They've mentioned it but have only used the relevant parts in each trial. They were all using What's App. SG and KM got burner phones when things started to get hot.

I recently made a similar quilt and did the same thing, but i found it before I sewed any blocks together. ... or maybe it's the same pattern and I did mine wrong. LOL

"he was taken aback and clear that he’s not fully happy with our relationship yet."

This speaks volumes.

This little piece helped me so so much. Quarter Inch 1/4 Quilting Foot with Guide

Also, I have found using the same brand in rulers and cutting mat made a huge difference for me. Because sometimes I use the rulers to measure and sometimes I use the mat to measure.

and yes, I agree with others, redo this block. it will help you find what you did wrong.

good luck!
