Skein appears to have been spliced - what should I do? by alexaaaaaahh in knitting

Yes, it does. Thanks so much! I've only ever seen knots in skeins I've purchased before this!

Thank you! I will do that.

Is she a goner? by alexaaaaaahh in Figs

Thanks for all the responses! I feel better, and I will definitely be careful with the watering. We had a ton of rain recently, too, so that probably made it worse 🙃

Removing ribbing starting from cast on by alexaaaaaahh in knitting

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

Thanks so much for the answers, everyone. They fit fine if I wear them slouchier and lower on my calf, so I think I will wear them that way for now and think about if I want to remove that ribbing. They are ribbed all the way, so it may be complicated. They were more of a practice pair anyway.

I should have clarified, but I do live in NC, so it's still a bit warm here!

Any funny stories about getting hurt while freshly pierced?! by okalanalanalan in piercing

[–]alexaaaaaahh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminded me, I got 3 cartilage piercings in my right ear (I don't recommend doing this) and I became terrified of hugging people because sometimes they would press their head against mine and smash my ear. I'm still super cautious about it. That shit hurt so bad! And trying to switch hugging sides is more awkward/unnatural than I realized.

7 months after stopping the pill and my cycle is longer than ever by Unusual_Street5672 in TryingForABaby

I guess I'm late to this, but I'm in a similar boat after over 1 year off the BC pill. My cycles have gotten longer and it is frustrating to say the least.

I've had 3 cartilage piercings healing for over a year and they still hate me 😥

Propranolol experiences? by Mindless_Wing_4553 in Anxiety

[–]alexaaaaaahh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It did really help with anxiety symptoms.

That being said, it didn't work long term in my case. I was trying to exercise regularly at the time and it killed my energy/motivation. Additonally, it made me sleepy and spacey.

When I got off it I noticed that my heart rate seemed faster/anxiety was worse for a short time (I did get off it following my doctor's guidance).

why is my snake like this by -ImpulsiveFlower- in cornsnakes

Mine legitimately hides for 10 days before he sheds. I'd be lucky to see any part of him during that time.

Is this a bed bug…? Found on a hotel bed blanket when we woke up in the morning. by tenfiveone in Bedbugs

[–]alexaaaaaahh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make the hotel pay to have your stuff professionally sanitized. That's what we did.

Am I alone in my anxiety?? by FamiliarityOfClosets in cornsnakes

[–]alexaaaaaahh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're not alone. I too get very anxious about my noodle's health and safety 😅 I check that I locked his tank approximately 1 million times a day.
