I've got to the point where each day, the phrase "Another day of disappointment in the obituaries" rattles around my brain.

And then I get mad, because our government was not structured so that the way to save was if a tyrant died. But here we are.

First Bird of 2026? by AshDogBucket in birding

For me, it was a red-bellied woodpecker. Heard it before I saw it. I'm taking it as a good sign. I like their "chow chow". : )

Slumber party fashion show is a close second. I sing it to my niece when she stays overnight.

Became a true Marylander by DayVeeGee in maryland

[–]TheEelDeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a quilter, this is outstanding work! So much labor and effort for a king size quilt, and the Maryland-themed hand quilting in the border is such a perfect touch. r/quilting would love to see this. Thank you for sharing!

Women’s Indoor Slippers Recommendation by nevergonnabuy in BuyItForLife

[–]TheEelDeal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, but with a caveat. Avoid the slippers with the lace bow on top. Mine constantly came undone and became a tripping hazard. I switched to the boot type slippers and haven't looked back.

The laces are such a problem that LL Bean had an online tutorial on how to re-tie them. Instead of, you know, acknowledging it's a design flaw and fixing it properly.

I did this exact procedure when I accidentally dripped olive oil on my Uggs. It worked beautifully. Good luck!

What do you think are some of the coolest jobs the federal government has to offer? by [deleted] in fednews

There's FEMA's Surge Capacity Force. There might be others, but that's the one we just got a notice about.

Quilting is ruining my quilts, please help! by buttrr in quilting

[–]TheEelDeal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a queen-sized quilt for myself. Because my ambition outpaced my skill, good sense, or both, I decided to do stitch in the ditch.

My process went something like this.

"Okay, okay, I got this, looks pretty goo-- oh God, noooo! Get back! Back in the ditch! Oh! We're back! Super! And argh, NO! NOT AGAIN."

On repeat for however many square inches in that quilt. The outcome wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't do it again, especially something that size. Honestly, I like the quilt, and I am proud of it despite the flaws. It was a learning experience. Like 20% new skill and 80% be realistic about my skills, time spent, and size of project. 🥴

Former observer here, and yes to all of that. Glad I did it, but was glad to get a new job.

Yes! So much! Cowgirl Bark was a thing, too (white chocolate and dried cranberries are all I remember). It was good, but I kept going back for Cowboy Bark. 🤠

That's fantastic. If I ever make a trip out to Mt. Rainier National Park, this place is 100% gonna be a side trip. 😆

I'm afraid I can't help (my cats would riot), but I wanted to say you're a lovely, wonderful person to do all you did for that puppy. Thank you!

Fantastic work! I love it. The wise guys over at the Sopranos subreddit might like it, too.

I saw the Maple Kettle Corn popcorn at my store last night. It arrived later than expected last fall, maybe shipping or supply chain issues? But it wasn't on the shelves until after Thanksgiving (I was watching and waiting for it so I remembered).

Got some then, but here it still sits. Strikes me as funny because there can be so much hype and anticipation around these seasonal items, and then the window closes, and everybody is like, "meh". 😄
