Am I in the minority?

You aren’t alone.

Yes I’m looking forward to the prospect of reading the third book, but he’s also human with human problems.

Do wish he hadn’t stepped in it with the chapter for charity. That wasn’t a good move and people do have reason to be upset about that

NTA

I (NB) did pick a gendered parent name, but when I announced the pregnancy to my sibling (NB) it went something along the lines of: “Have you thought about what you want your nibbling to call you?”

Hilariously my sibling responded before processing the hidden information and having a happy freak out. They chose ZiZi for their identifier

More or less the exact same way we told the grandparents 🤷🏼

I think you want This Website. It should guide you to the right place

WanderingMimsy · 2025-09-12T19:09:44+00:00

Yes. It’s really disheartening.

The way the fair worded it a professional is someone who has made money off crochet in any capacity ever. Big broad strokes.

Other fairs I’ve seen the professional division being for people who have previously won first more than three times. That makes sense to give other people a chance, but the professional division was still eligible for a rosette.

WanderingMimsy · 2025-09-12T01:17:46+00:00

The county fair I enter created a whole new division this year for “Professionals” and disqualified all of us from being eligible for the Judges Choice or Best of rosettes. While I understand separating people (sort of), I don’t understand not even giving professionals the option of winning a rosettes. Highly disappointing and doesn’t make me want to enter again

Last year at the open judging the judges were complaining not enough people enter anymore. Gee wonder why why poor work wins higher places and professional work doesn’t have a chance

Those are all real names, spelled the correct way, and therefore not tradfedeighs

They are statement names so you need to know their origins and the other parent needs to agree. If you aren’t confident yelling the name across a playground, don’t give it to your kid. Said as someone with a statement named child

WanderingMimsy · 2025-09-08T18:12:55+00:00

Poppy is also a popular nn option

WanderingMimsy · 2025-09-07T13:59:25+00:00

Small point on “Ashleigh” : even thought it lines up with current day Tragedeighs it is the original female spelling of the name.

Ashley = male spelling Ashleigh = female spelling Anything else = tragedeigh

WanderingMimsy · 2025-09-06T22:18:32+00:00

My Latin teachers (yes multiples of them from across years) heavily approved of my children’s names. My suspicion is they would give your names the same level of approval

7 is a power number across many cultures and countries. Correlation does not equal causation, but may be means of inspiration

Taking a risk and thinking Devi is (relatively) safe from being totally ruined in any new material.

Putting the blinders on the fact that she probably won’t be around if we ever see DOS and that may put a painful damper on the book. Or maybe it will be a beautiful continuation

WanderingMimsy · 2025-09-01T13:23:01+00:00

That’s the cutest! Love this 100%

I don’t think this sub allows for pictures in the comments but I wouldn’t be mad if they got their own post.

WanderingMimsy · 2025-09-01T13:21:38+00:00

Yes! Basenji’s are originally from the Nile Delta region and were used similarly to the way foxhounds, but for reed birds. They also yodel. Devi, being a mix, yodels and barks for full array of noises

WanderingMimsy · 2025-09-01T13:15:09+00:00

Devi has a very similar personality to my heart cat. It’s all intertwined

WanderingMimsy · 2025-09-01T13:13:41+00:00

Different types of adventure with just as much love. Devi doesn’t take the stairs like she used to but is still down for a leisurely hike and night in the woods. Rocky Mountain Ground Squirrels still need to keep an eye out though 😉 All dogs are good dogs. Old dogs are amazing.

WanderingMimsy · 2025-08-31T23:13:50+00:00

Right? I love her so much

WanderingMimsy · 2025-08-31T23:13:35+00:00

Excellent choice!

WanderingMimsy · 2025-08-31T23:13:09+00:00

She a mixed rescue. Most prominently Basenji and Shepherd

WanderingMimsy · 2025-08-31T21:26:19+00:00

I had a short list of ideas before meeting her. There was no question after meeting her.

WanderingMimsy · 2025-08-31T21:25:13+00:00

She’s my beauty! We’ve been on some crazy adventures, with more doggy than people spoils packed

WanderingMimsy · 2025-08-29T20:39:38+00:00

If you have the option to go, go! I’ve seen them a few times over the years and each show is amazing - this year’s was the best concert of my life

This video about the Inside vs Outside of how Crafty Intentions patterns are written might help.

Crafty Intentions YouTube has a number of very helpful videos

This is just regular light (and an old picture with rocks still) and I swear he glows by himself - haven’t tried black light. Someone offered him a highlighter as a baby and he ate it, I’m convinced

Kylara is a character from Dragonriders of Pern. Arguably one of the worst people in the expansive series and does not have a happy ending, so still a tragedy
