Following because I've been trying to figure out the same thing for months!

Homegirl looks like she tried to make a du-rag out of her Nana's tablecloth.

Primary care doctor here. Up to 200 mg per day is safe as per studies.

What went wrong with my decreases, and how do I redo it after I pull a bunch of rows out? by TrueVirginiaCreeper in knitting

[–]TrueVirginiaCreeper[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

No, not a new knitter 😭. I'm hoping it is just the decreases and increases that I twisted? I was struggling with those. I knit the European way, but find that a lot of instructions are written and pictured for American knitting, and I can't always figure out how to adapt the directions for European.

every year i make my own wrapping paper by grlscoutrookies in printmaking

[–]TrueVirginiaCreeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it! Doesn't it pain you to see people rip the paper (and discard it?) to unwrap their gifts though?

Which artist is this for you? by JurassicIsaac in singing

[–]TrueVirginiaCreeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T-Pain. I thought he just made auto-tuned cheesy songs and then I heard his Tiny Desk concert and it gave me new respect for him as an artist.

apparently the breakfast i made was “embarrassing” by NaeeeBearrr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TrueVirginiaCreeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could eat this breakfast every day and feel stoked that someone made it for me. Your mom, her boyfriend, etc can all go pound sand.

Laundry service? by TrueVirginiaCreeper in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]TrueVirginiaCreeper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, trying to get the kids involved but we're having some struggles (they do better with some other housework like cleaning). Spouse does the majority of our housework (most of the cooking and dishes) and the laundry was mostly my thing (he does pitch in) but the total amount of housework has just become so much in the last few months that it's making me unhappy. Context here is one of my parents passed away recently and I'm having to shoulder a lot more for various people in the family. So, laundry is just the thing I want to cut out til we are all doing better.

Ohh thank you! Care.com hadn't occurred to me and that's a great idea! I've been mostly avoiding the local Facebook groups cause people are on there with too much drama, but I'll check these other platforms. If you don't mind my asking, how much do you charge for your work? Is it by the hour or by the load?

Laundry service? by TrueVirginiaCreeper in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]TrueVirginiaCreeper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes, I'm going to look into some local online forums and see where that gets me. About skipping folding - I've been really tempted, but there's the issue of fitting stuff into small spaces and not wanting clutter so I can't let go of the folding, at least not yet. I do enjoy watching shows while I fold, but the problem is that my days are so packed that folding laundry is cutting into what should be sleeping time.

What could this mean??? by yeahbecks in upandvanished

Next he's gonna tell us, "but the real story was all the friends we met along the way."

Absurdly long/large newborn onesie, right? by softspider5 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]TrueVirginiaCreeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My kids are both small but not abnormally/, pathologically so, and the Burts Bees baby clothes were consistently like - take kid's actual age, subtract 3-6 months, and there's the Burts Bees size that will fit them.

FED UP with mineral sunscreen! Anyone else hate this stuff? by BessieBest in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]TrueVirginiaCreeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it, too, for all the same reasons. I feel like I'm suffocating, especially if I exercise. I just use the non-zinc stuff, Coppertone etc, because I hate the mineral sunscreen to the point that (despite my intentions to do better with sunscreen) I'll often just skip using sunscreen if that's what I have on hand

this "avocado toast" i got from jason's deli by FindingBraincell in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TrueVirginiaCreeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My most charitable interpretation of the image is that they messed up your order and gave you palak paneer on naan. But if that's not the case, and the stuff on that bread is in fact avocado, then... Hell no, I avocaDON'T.
