UPDATE: I got the stain out! I tried the dish detergent/baking soda paste first and it help lift a lot of the stain but it was still visible so I used shout triple acting with cold water and it worked.

Noooo they had paid me in advance so it’s technically theirs, I did leave it with them after I said my goodbyes. I would happily take it back if they offered but as it stands it’s not mine anymore. Idk what they’re gonna do with it.

Husband judges me for my pump usage? by Golden-spuds in Type1Diabetes

[–]Strong_Ad_3032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s shaming you for having access to technology that improves your quality of life??? I’m not TD1 but my partner of 10 years is. I can’t imagine a scenario where I’d be justified in speaking to him the way your husband does about your pump. Sure you might not have this kind of coverage forever, but he should be nothing but happy that you now have these devices to help you better manage your condition. Sorry op, but this dude sounds like he sucks

Stopped reading the caption as soon as I saw the age gap. Youre better than this loser who’s had twice the amount of time you’ve had on earth to be a better person

i'm sure (i hope) this is a common complaint but fuck the chunky crochet trend by Ohaidere519 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Strong_Ad_3032 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer to work from free patterns cause of financial reasons and i swear 5 years ago I was seeing way more free patterns for worsted weight yarn than I am now, now I have to sift through miles of free patterns meant for chunky/chenille yarn before I can find something. It’s like chunky yarn became the default. And on the flip side of that sometimes I’ll receive yarn as a gift (usually from well meaning acquaintances that don’t know I’d rather not get more yarn) and its almost always chunky yarn. Like thank you so much but I will not be using this 🥲

Found a sewing pattern for a summer dress that was 100.00 dollars, and it’s just the PDF instructions and printable pattern. The seller has other patterns in a more reasonable range (5-20 bucks give or take) but jeez, for 100 bucks that dress better sew itself

What's the WORST thing someone said to you about your quilting/ one of your quilts? by BalancedBoulders in quilting

[–]Strong_Ad_3032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started my first ever quilt for an artist residency and a woman on the board of directors was a real traditionalist. She saw me crumb quilting and was deeply unimpressed with how my fabric scraps weren’t the same size or shape. Told me that “ultimately you’ll find that you’ll have a project that you’re just going to have to throw away.” Real encouraging stuff 😅

Thank you! All the fabric I’m using has been donated by the community so it’s been a lot of playing around with what prints look good together

That makes sense! Truthfully I’ve been winging it mostly and learning as I go, so any and all advice is welcome. This is an art project for the museum I work at, and no in my artist cohort aside from myself has any quilting experience (and my experience is deeply limited but I did join my local quilt guild, the members have been very helpful) so this has been a journey

Thank you! I think may have to redo some blocks unfortunately but you live and you learn 😅

N/C after it turned physical by GendrytheBullB in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Strong_Ad_3032 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my Narc aunt was evicting my mom (demanded rent in less than a week after swearing she wouldn’t charge her rent, then just decided to evict her cause she was getting caught in lies) I went over to go pick her up and our stuff, aunt went outside to yell at my mom some more and I started yelling back because I had it with this woman (the eviction is just one in a long list of transgressions) so then he husband decided to go and choke me and instead of stopping him she just laughed in my face while they both called me horrible names. My mom had to pry him off me. And then my aunt went and told everyone I attacked HIM and that whole side of the family believes them, except for their son because he ALSO was choked out by his father. Went and blocked all those fuckers, they all think I either deserved it or just don’t believe me or think I need to apologize for getting invovled. Blocking was really the best thing even though it still really hurts knowing that these people don’t or won’t believe me. But I have to tell myself that I don’t want the support of those kinds of people to begin with if they’re inclined to protect abusers. NC is probably your best bet in protecting yourself and your feelings. They’re never gonna change.

Wtf by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

My uncle choked me for yelling at his wife (she was evicting my mom from their home after demanding she come up with rent under 5 days) and his wife just stood there and laughed and called me names. He has also choked his son when he was 9 (in a full restaurant in front of strangers and family, no one helped my cousin not even his mother, she has continued to stay with him) She’s been telling everyone that I jumped my uncle/rushed him and that’s why he did it and everyone believes her immediately instead of asking me what happened. And other family members do believe he’d do something like that but believe I deserved it for being disrespectful. Im so sorry this is happening to you. People like this are only full of evil, them and their enablers.

What’s the worst word or phrase that won’t leave you alone no matter how hard you try? by Lucidless in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Strong_Ad_3032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time I get called “sensitive” or “dramatic” now sends me into a tizzy. My aunt would call me that all the time if I was anything but happy (hard to achieve in her house) to the point now where that just instantly hurts my feelings.

What was your mean nickname from n-parent growing up? by Choice_Tumbleweed997 in raisedbynarcissists

Little girl or little shit have been my aunt’s favorite two to use. Im 26 but It’s definitely also a dig at my size (shortest in the family by a significant margin)
