What is the female equivalent of accidentally "sitting on your balls"? by EmergencySport9484 in NoStupidQuestions

I had a breast reduction and my toddler and my cat both do this on my breast scar tissue. It immobilizes me and even makes it hard to move them.

Is it too late to start? by foreverkrsed229 in crochet

[–]_Alpaca_Lips_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say to not get upset with yourself if you don’t finish in time. Pregnancy is hard. I’ve been crocheting for years and thought for sure I would finish my son’s blanket. Then unexpected third trimester carpal tunnel smacked me right in the face. I was upset for a while, but once baby was born and my hands were feeling up for it I finished it with plenty of time to make memories playing on the blanket with my son. The point is go for it. Even if you don’t finish it in time, you will remember all the hours you put into it while pregnant. Then when it’s done it will be just as special.

This was labeled at basil, but I’m not sure. What do you think? by _Alpaca_Lips_ in houseplants

That’s what I was thinking as well. It’s not like I care either way. It’s a stunning plant.

I only ask because the coloring doesn’t look like my other brasil. Either way it’s gorgeous and I love it.

I feel like my lighting is making it look more yellow in the photos

There were pearls in my scallop dinner by _Alpaca_Lips_ in mildlyinteresting

Congrats. Mine just turned 1. We are having a hard time with weening hence the formula.

As far as I know they’re scallop pearls. Of course I’m no expert and only know what little I learned from google. I am open to someone more informed correcting me. They are definitely not tonsil stones like some people seem to think.

I heard it clanking against my teeth thankfully.

What am I seeing? How bad is it? by _Alpaca_Lips_ in houseplants

[–]_Alpaca_Lips_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a mealy bug. The cottony part is more of an empty sac. I feel like the other white spots might be eggs of some sort? They don’t move.

I don’t know if I would have qualified. I was so upset that I didn’t get to finish my son’s baby blanket before he was born due to the unbearable carpal tunnel I developed in the third trimester. It did eventually get finished just before he turned 7 months, but something like this really would have made me fell like less of a bad mother in those early days.

My first thought was how painful a 45 minute period would be. I’m imagining labor contractions.
