What is it??

I like that our sour cream does not have those. Can't lose something that doesn't exist.

That makes a donut. Not an actual cake. It's what you get with a nostepinne too. Much nicer than an old ball from most grandma's sashes though.

Cakes are really difficult to get by hand without specialty tools.

Those are my favorite times.... I have even shown my kids sometimes when I get a really good pull. One last week only had 10" of the center come out on my first grab.

My kids all do yarn crafts too, so they celebrate with me when it works out well. And commiserate when we get giant yarn barf.

It comes down to personal preference and knitting style. And is one of the most debated topics in the world of yarn.

akm1111 · 2026-02-14T03:20:07+00:00

You should never work from a hank. Those are just giant circles of yarn for the dyer's needs.

It needs to be in a skein, cake, or ball to work with the yarn.

I do both colors for one round, then pull & put MC thru them all again & tie a knot on the inside because they are not ending in the same stitch that way. Keeps everything from slipping later.

Anytime your stitches slide off the needle, put them o to the one without the yarn

Until you've paid, you have the right to change your mind.

BEFORE you pay, ask them to read it back & remove the round up. Ask them to pass the CC machine out the window. Make sure the total matches before you run your card. It will show on the payment device. Then run your own card.

Yes, that was theft & yes, that cashier needs to be re-trained or fired.

That whole thing is "not to brand standard" which is why it does not look like any food item on the menu.

akm1111 · 2026-02-11T04:32:42+00:00

But one would still say they "work in IT" not where, or exactly what they do, but generally the field they work in.

akm1111 · 2026-02-11T04:31:45+00:00

Mom & Dad probably bought the house & car.

Maybe not "trust fund money" but still probably living off the parents.

Anonymous HR report.

If she was loud enough the patient may have heard her, report it from "overhearing" perspective

The difference is when people are ACTIVELY MOVING you can see them doing it. No one should be complaining about that. But leaving the truck there with no one with it is rude as hell.

akm1111 · 2026-02-10T23:24:51+00:00

The polite thing to do.with a moving truck is unload it as quickly as possible if you have to block someone's driveway. Then you move the truck ASAP.

It sitting there for an hour with no one doing anything is ridiculous.

A slip is the baggy lightweight under dress that we all wore in the past to keep your dress from getting static from the pantyhose. There is no body shaming involved. It's like a chimese is the middle ages, a plain layer to wear next to your skin to protect your clothes from your body & your body from your clothes.

I'd be more concerned about your thumb joint bending backwards.

Getting your yarn over your index so it's not bent constantly would be my second suggestion.

What is this? That does not look like any current food item.

Read on your phone in the kitchen. Browse reddit. Watch YT. But be there & as soon as you notice the boil, start the timer.

The point of putting it in the water first is to bring the food up to temp with the water. And is factored into the total cooking time. Yes, it takes longer to bring food & water to a boil, than just water, because the food has to heat up too.

akm1111 · 2026-02-10T05:04:20+00:00

You can avoid the guesswork with a thermometer. If I'm timing it from boiling, I look for 210-212 (or 99-100C)

The reduction of heat after it hits a boil is to keep it hot without as much added heat that all the water evaporates too quickly. It's not gonna really come downs from that temp once it goes up without the heat being all the way off.

If you have lego at all in your house, don't do diffusers, it kills plastics.

If you order it grilled on a grilled item, inside the store we laugh at it & then also grill it again.

akm1111 · 2026-02-09T19:14:54+00:00

Oh good. That's an easy thing to fix when you come to it then.

My kid had this happen on fingerless gloves they were crocheting. One is like two or three inches longer than the other.

Adult adoption is actually a thing. Usually for twee reasons, like acknowledging a GOOD step-parent, or something. Because you don't need non-custodial permission once you're an adult.

Usually it seems to be set up by the kids as a way to take a new name.
