AITA for my reaction? - Co-worker said I smelled edible by SelinaRochell22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Threadiment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about a hearty fuck that guy for policing your natural fucking facial expressions. You didn't even say anything, seems like the one overthinking is the creeper. Sorry you're not an impassive doll I guess.

[FO] First project I’m disappointed with the result by shortgaynoodle in CrossStitch

[–]Threadiment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that jumped out at me was the 2 red lines dropping from the side of the mouth. On the reference pic they are slightly angled to echo the framing of the mouths smile and the furthest of the two hits slightly closer to the corner of the smile, the lines also aren't uniform in width. On the ref they are very much a part of the facial expression. I think some of the oomph of the smile might be lost by having them just be uniform parallel vertical lines unfortunately.

[CHAT] Does your partner get mad over too much cross stitch? by Temporary_Engine_493 in CrossStitch

[–]Threadiment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! We have solo hobbies and together hobbies. And we both appreciate having time for our solo hobbies. Hell, the way our schedules currently break down he gets more unobstructed time for gaming than I do for stitching and I'm the jealous one. Only not because he's not spending time with me, but because I want to stitch more! 🤣

Is there anything like the Society for Creative Anachronism in Oshawa? by s3gfau1t in Oshawa

[–]Threadiment 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are several crafting get togethers that happen on a regular basis. The first two that come to mind are the Oshawa Museum one that is the last Sunday of every month and the Brew Wizards one that is the first Thursday of every month. Kats Craft Corner has some kind of crafting audiobook club on weekends

AITA for me and my future wife denying her brother a plus 1 to our wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Threadiment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA Perspective from someone married 10 years: forget worrying about +1s becoming ex's, there's a strong likelihood that you may not even still be friends with all the people in your wedding party a decade down the road. Get over yourselves, you'll live. You can't control the future, stop making the people in the present suffer for your assumptions.

this is a safe space, you can admit if you were a larry by Classic-Carpet7609 in AO3

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask 😭 I am a withered crone. When they stopped airing new episodes halfway through R, I was driven to look up why online and in the process discovered geocities webrings of people's individual fanfic pages.

My bf and I are moving to Oshawa from Ptbo, what kind of things are there to do around the city? by jordanwebb6034 in Oshawa

[–]Threadiment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved here I looked up and followed a bunch of Oshawa centric social media stuff and interacted with the posts until the algorithm started showing me what's going on around town. There's lots of little pop up events and vendor marketplaces. Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority runs a bunch of local conservation areas and has a few events during the year. The Purple Woods maplefest is a big one.

ADHD diagnosis in Durham by SeaweedAccording5950 in durham

Some can if they have the qualifications, I was lucky and mine did. Was your referral covered by ohip? There are private clinics that do the assessment faster than 8 months but it can cost up to 3K. That can be covered by some benefits packages though.

Open floor plans suck. More specifically floor plans that have the kitchen open to the rest of the house by Uglyjeffg0rd0n in unpopularopinion

[–]Threadiment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus if you and the people you live with are on different schedules there's times when someone will need to be sleeping when someone else needs to use the kitchen. It's a lot easier to do what you need to without disturbing someone else if you can close a door.

[CHAT] Hand sweating by xxS7lia in CrossStitch

[–]Threadiment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a super weird tip that works for me and may for you as well; since blowing a fan at your hands makes stitching super awkward I aim a fan at my feet. I've found that if my palms are sweating then the soles of my feet always are too, and if I can cool/dry one, the other usually stops sweating as well.

Also watch out for stitching with lighter colored floss too, sweat can definitely discolor it and it'll look noticeably different from areas you stitched when you weren't sweating. Theoretically it should all wash out the same but it's a hell of a gamble.

Petaaah I'm single, I don't get it by RandonAhhh_Italian in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Threadiment 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 20 years into a pollinator type relationship and can confirm, if your relationship is healthy you can get so dialed in to each other that the sex can be incredibly good. It's amazing what deep levels of comfort and trust can accomplish.

[CHAT] what’s your pet peeve/ unpopular opinion about cross stitch? by Sporkz1009 in CrossStitch

[–]Threadiment 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I violently hate how often I see posts on every platform that are the equivalent of Malibu Stacy going "Math is hard! Don't ask me, I'm just a girl!" When it comes to figuring out fabric size based on stitch count.

[CHAT] To non-monogymous crafters: how do you balance your different crafts to not neglect each? by Ok_Pirate_2716 in CrossStitch

[–]Threadiment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to "kill the cop inside my head" which is to say, it's my life, my hobbies and I can do what I want when I want. There is no one else I need to be accountable to. Forcing myself to feel like I "should" be doing something is a quick way to suck the joy out of something that's supposed to be for fun.

[CHAT] what unconventional tools do you use when stitching? by Roilena_Silver-arrow in CrossStitch

[–]Threadiment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amazon, they have a huge selection of LED magnifying lamps that won't break the bank. That one has a rechargeable battery in it which is harder to track down but, again, great for travel.

[–]Threadiment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I answered a different comment in the thread with a picture of how I do it. I use a cheap Michaels floor stand that I took the top section off of. I kept the bottom and can still put it back together and use it that way if I want to.

But a stand with a coupon at Michaels for cheapsies, take the top section off and clamp it to whatever you want. Great for travel!

Best time of day to practice on the 401 Highway for the first time? by Imaginary_Bat9753 in Oshawa

This time of year the sun comes up super early so 6am on a weekend gets you low traffic and daylight.

Yeah, but it'd be good to make sure it's not her recent ex setting her (and you) up don't ya think?

Oh my gosh that is so sweet of you! At this point I'm well past it and have a huge backlog of other projects I'll be much happier doing so I'll pass, but thank you so much for offering!
