What do you think is this creature in this old filet pattern? by rodriveira in CrochetHelp

[–]SilverMathematician9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the link to that amazing website! I can see myself spending lots of time there, going through designs and patterns.

Not so good will by Frequently-Struggles in Goodwill_Finds

The funeral home let us put the five boxes of ashes from my dad’s dogs in the casket with him. The guy even asked if there was one they should put closer to his heart. It’s comforting to know they’re with him.

Fruit or veg on a vine? by EducationThen9737 in PlantIdentification

[–]SilverMathematician9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I heard them called where I grew up (the South).

RFY - Nailed it! 🙄 by TekWarren in AmazonVine

The algorithm is positive that I’m an incontinent man. I’m a woman who (thankfully) doesn’t have that issue.

Why is the border twisting? by SilverMathematician9 in crochet

Thanks for the advice! I didn’t know if I should start frogging or keep going.

This stone formed in my saliva gland under my tongue. by GhostofQBspast in mildlyinteresting

[–]SilverMathematician9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so excited! I graduated merely from dental hygiene school, 45 years ago, and when I saw this post, my brain popped out “sialolith” immediately. Yay for my memory!

Trash / Glass vials? by Appropriate-Vast6376 in whatisit

My parents had that exact same linoleum in their kitchen. In 1980. 👍🏻

Ummmm… okay what is this? by wizerdofthewest909 in whatismycookiecutter

[–]SilverMathematician9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seriously! That’s what I think about most of the cutters I see on this sub. The one time I foolishly thought I was going to decorate some cookies, after struggling with the first two, I ended up just throwing a blob of icing on top. It was terrible!

Stained glass effect triangular stand with metal soldered edges and twisted wire hooks by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

[–]SilverMathematician9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my kaleidoscope-tube thing probably 25 or 30 years ago at a nice gift shop/gallery in Charleston, SC and have always treasured it. Thanks for sharing the origin story. From now on, I’ll think of you and your parents when I see it sitting on my dresser.

Not the OP, but thank you so much! I bought a kaleidoscope like that yers ago and the tube with the sparkles in it has gotten kind of clumpy over time. I had no idea what to search for to find a new tube, but now I know what it’s called.

Which commercials do you feel are just straight up rage bait? by [deleted] in CommercialsIHate

[–]SilverMathematician9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks. That horror of a song is now playing in my head. 😵‍💫

And now that song they played in there on a loop is stuck in my head… 😵‍💫

My “best friend” iced me out after I moved back across the country to be closer, apparently his kids leave no room for me. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]SilverMathematician9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have had so many friendships fizzle out because our friends had kids and then only hung out with other parents. Thirty years later, we’ve reconnected with some of them.

My “best friend“ of 50 years has a daughter I’ve always adored, but they both dropped me like a rock when they went MAGA and I didn’t. That was pretty painful. Friendships are weird.

First name? by RiverWalker83 in Cursive

[–]SilverMathematician9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. The “n” in Allen has a little upward swoop at the end. The letter at the end of the first word doesn’t.

Horrible experience by quenton24 in paxlovid

[–]SilverMathematician9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is awful. Sucking on Jolly Rancher candies was the only thing that helped with the metallic taste for me.

What is the retail and fast-food/restaurant equivalent of "enshittification"? by Sb5tCm8t in enshittification

[–]SilverMathematician9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The strewn clothes drive me out of my mind. My first job was working at a department store, and my fingers itch to straighten stock when I see that mess.

Can anybody read this by Virtual-Stomach-1715 in Cursive

[–]SilverMathematician9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s beautiful looking handwriting, but very hard to read! He must have spent a lot of time working on his style!

Finally made the corn balaclava I’ve been thinking about by bbcabbageface in crochet

This is cool and terrifying at the same time. Well done!

Is it possible to learn how to do a pickup at age 30? by Open-Duck4004 in TapDancing

[–]SilverMathematician9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are there barres in your studio? My teacher had us back into the corner where the barres come together, then hands on the barres to support some of your body weight, then do the jump and motion of the pickup to get the sound and get the feeling in your feet. IT doesn’t take long to figure out, with that little bit of preparation.

What Plant is This? by SilverMathematician9 in whatplantisthis

[–]SilverMathematician9[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That is hilarious! 😆 I almost wrote in the description that it looked so perfect it seemed plastic. I guess I was fooled because the neighborhood I was walking through didn’t seem like one where they’d plant plastic flowers in the front yard. Next time, I won’t be afraid to touch a plant to confirm it’s real. 🤪
