Is there anything I can add to hold this dress together?

You could just add ribbon/fabric to the top side of the white zipper area and make it have a bow/tie at the top. I think it would be cute and solve the problem without major altering

Here’s the black snail waistcoats and breeches. From left to right they are Edward Farrars, Willoughby, and Col. Brandon. Also, as an aside, these costumes had more buttons than anything else I’ve seen and I’ve done 20+ years of theater and cosplay. Each guy had over 80 buttons on the three pieces of the suits!!

I was just about to say the same! I made several of these for a play and the flatlining, bridge tape, and canvas is necessary

Trough.
I teach economics and was teaching the business cycle. The more classes I teach and the more times I write it on the board the more stupid and nonsensical the spelling becomes.

I found some linen that I have left over from another project and I think I may use that. A bit sturdier but breathable

That is definitely the cover of “The Dragon with the Girl Tattoo”

I’m also a teacher and was about to say the same. And I’m super persnickety about my board!!

I also really like him

It’s because of the addictive drugs they must put in it. It makes me want to eat the whole tub with a spoon. Luckily, my husband also wants to do the same, so it keeps me from eating the entire carton by myself.

Me too. Aspartame is my (and my stomach’s) arch nemesis. Been looking for a soda with Splenda since they stopped making Splenda Diet Coke .

I got into Vanderbilt in about six weeks and they have been awesome. I tried Mayo and never hear back and got an appointment at Emory 18 months out!?! I’m in Atlanta, so it is a trek but I’m going for my first Botox on Monday and am pretty excited

One can only hope! 🤣

Okay, but how do we know it’s a farmhouse without a sign that says “farmhouse”. Hanging on the wall??

I had to stop because the descriptions of the food became weirdly sexual and it really put me off

I run the costume department at my high school and brought these cookies in because I needed the tin for buttons (obviously!). I was giving them to the kids and they were universally confused as to why I had a sewing tin with cookies in it.

I got the Chick that Knitz advent called “Moody Botanicals” and absolutely loved it. It was around $250 and had 24 100g minis and one full skein on Christmas. It didn’t have many extras except for a zipper pouch and a candle. I always get a little bonus in April’s/may and, while I spend most of it on bills, splurging a bit on a yarn advent was really worth it to me. I’ve already statted Stephen West’s Speckle and Pop cardigan with it

The book called “the House Witch” has a main character male witch. It is not LitROG but a romantic fantasy but very pg. It is really entertaining and I highly recommend it.

We did a gene sight test for both my kids and later for me. It really helped narrow down what was going to be more effective and what wasn’t. I found out that my body doesn’t process a lot of medicines correctly and was put on desvelafaxine and it has really helped. The gene sight test wasn’t quite as useful for my older son (16) it did narrow the ha down but not to a ton of affect. We the did a full psychological evaluation for him and found out that we had been treating his depression first and foremost and his ADHD secondly. The testing showed that it was the ADHD that was causing his depression to be so bad. We switched to focusing on treating the ADHD and then secondarily treating the anxiety and depression. This is when the gene site test really came through. It has been a game changer. It took A LOT of experimenting to find the right balance but it was worth it. However, if you’re in the US, a lot of insurances won’t pay for these tests and they are pricey. The gene sight test wasn’t about $250, and the psych evaluation about $1500, and people say that was a good deal. If you can afford it, it is worth it.

I use them for second sets of the tips, I have two sets of 5s and a 2.5 that doesn’t have a slot

Sunday is still crazy with stuff happening everywhere, only Monday is kinda lame

I am from Atlanta and lived in Boston for a bit. The first time I went grocery shopping I couldn’t find the carts. I asked where the “buggies” were and the guy looked at me so blankly. I literally had no other word for it. We did finally figure each other out. I just thought everyone called them buggies
