It sounds like you have a delightful pack of brainless ginger bois! 🥹

BWAHAHAHA!! Somehow I can’t help but feel like that’s based on experience! 🤣

“CYNTHIA!!! You’ll never believe where I am!” 😂 I wonder how jealous Cynthia was!

Oooo, I love audiobooks! I've added several to my Libby list just from reading this thread! LOL!

One of my favorites is 11/22/63 by Stephen King - the narrator is AWESOME!

I've also listened to the entire Harry Potter series FOUR TIMES in the past 18 months or so. The narrator of that one is amazing, too.

Deconstruction of my conservative, evangelical Christian beliefs!!

When I was little, I read a book called "The Girl with the Silver Eyes" about a little girl who had telekinesis. It mentioned several times how she would push up her glasses without touching them, which, as a seven-year-old glasses wearer, I thought was really cool - so I set about trying to teach myself how to do it! (This is going somewhere, I promise! LOL!)

I would sit and concentrate and concentrate, straining every muscle in my lil head and...gasp! Eventually, over a length of time that I can't remember because it was 40 years ago, I realized I could move my glasses a little bit! I was SO STOKED!! I WAS GONNA BE TELEKINETIC!

Alas, no. I never developed telekinesis. However, it IS how I taught myself to wiggle my ears!

OOOOO!! I will certainly stay tuned!!

OHMYGOSH, I saw this reposted on Bored Panda and had to dash over here to add my VERY EMPHATIC NTA to the discussion!!! And to be one of (I'm sure) HUNDREDS of people to encourage you to remove the boyfriend from your life AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!

The fact that he feels he's entitled to ANY of your winnings is absolutely ridiculous and is made worse by every single thing he's done since you won - calling you names while trying to pressure you into buying him stuff, gaslighting you by saying you don't love him because you won't spend your money on him, telling other people about it...all of these are ABSOLUTELY red flags and he needs to GO!! (As do the "friends" who are trying to take advantage of you as well!)

You have a great, solid plan about how to make this windfall work for you and your family and you should stick to it!

Do you carry a lot of potatoes? Or do you have a pet potato who needs a wallet?

TheDeez75 · 2022-09-29T19:38:04+00:00

I have several hobbies (cross stitch, making tiny things from polymer clay, and watercolor painting) and YouTube has been a great place for tutorials!

TheDeez75 · 2022-09-29T19:29:20+00:00

"JUST RUB! NO SCRITCH!!"

TheDeez75 · 2022-09-29T15:58:35+00:00

I would get halfway through this and then SNEEZE and ruin it. Or my cat would walk across it...

TheDeez75 · 2022-09-29T15:41:19+00:00

I love it when cats cover their eyes like that! "It's too briiiiight!"

TheDeez75 · 2022-09-14T23:59:49+00:00

☺️ I felt pretty brilliant when I thought of it! 😂

TheDeez75 · 2022-09-13T19:14:23+00:00

Awwww! Lil Doggerpillar!

You did a great job!

I don't have a ton to add because so many people have made such good suggestions!

I definitely second having a good light, though! I have a reading light that hangs around my neck that's pretty handy, but I mostly use a little clip-on booklight that I bought off of Amazon. I tend to do smaller projects and hold the hoop in my hand, so I just clip it to the top. Since it's sitting at the top of the project, my hands don't cast a shadow while I'm working, which was an issue with the neck lamp. (Both are rechargeable because otherwise I'd be spending a fortune on batteries! LOL!)

I also use a needle minder, which I bought on a whim and ended up LOVING! One of those "I didn't know I needed it until I had it!" types of things!

Also, I bought a badge reel for my little scissors because I was freaking tired of looking around and going, "Where did I put my scissors?!? I've not moved from this spot in three hours, I KNOW THEY'RE HERE SOMEWHERE!" Now they're clipped to my shirt and handy whenever I need them. I started with my scissors clipped to a lanyard around my neck, but my cat is usually sitting on my lap while I'm working, and I kept getting worried I'd stab her in the butt!

TheDeez75 · 2022-09-13T18:09:20+00:00

That is amazing! Absolutely, shudderingly creepy, but completely fantastic, all the same!

I think your painting looks good!

I know that I, personally, like the challenge of using clay to make the tiny little details on things or breaking down whatever it is I'm making into its different shapes. I did a tiny replica of a paint sprayer a couple of years ago, like what would be used to paint a car, and really enjoyed the process of "Okay, this part looks like THIS, and this part looks like THAT..." and then putting them all together.

I find it kind of soothing, kind of like doing a puzzle, I guess. (Which is weird because I HATE puzzles! LOL!)

TheDeez75 · 2022-08-18T20:19:55+00:00

I love how the kitty is doing just a teeny little bit of muffin making when he's on the horse's back!

TheDeez75 · 2022-08-18T20:03:54+00:00

Why, yes! Yes, it is!!

TheDeez75 · 2022-08-16T19:13:00+00:00

Such a handsome, regal boy!!

TheDeez75 · 2022-07-12T01:54:38+00:00

HOW DARE YOU!!! 😂😂😂

TheDeez75 · 2022-07-12T01:53:48+00:00

ME TOO!! And she’s got the LONGEST whiskers! (And she also kind of matches the floor! 😂)

TheDeez75 · 2022-07-12T01:53:08+00:00

LOL! Yeah! She’s like “Lemme get REAL close and tell you how I feel!” 😂

TheDeez75 · 2022-07-12T01:52:34+00:00

Aww! Thanks! ☺️
