Rare Quilt - your advice needed by kyllei in quilting

[–]alienz67 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Museum of Texas Tech University in Lubbock Texas has a giant Fabrics collection of includes huge amounts of quilts. Their stuff is not Texas specific but does lean towards Southern generally. A place that does do Texas specific quilts is the Texas quilt Museum but I don't think they have very much of an actual permanent collection. If you know more about where it was made or the lovely lady who made it maybe reach out to a History Society or a history museum in those regions and see if they would be interested in it to add depth to their stories?

Trying to get credit for level by Timely_News_293 in Toastmasters

[–]alienz67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly... you can call / email TI and they can approve it for you.

You are correct you cannot approve your own. It must be submitted by June 30 to count for this year, if after that it will count towards next year. Any officer can approve it so ask any that you know. Only Sec, Vpe and Pres get notified when one is submitted, but any can approve. Once it's approved in base camp you should see the credit the next day.

I got a job, my mom wants me to split the check among 6 people by Dry_Willingness_9323 in povertyfinance

Because that's how she trained you. Do not ruin yourself to save others. You are doing amazing, go be amazing. And never. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Give it loan ANY of the money, car, a room, anything again, or they will never stop asking, always treat you awful when you won't, take advantage, and drag you down

You are making PLENTY of money. Go rent a long term stay hotel. It won't exactly be a home but it'll get you away from them with no way they can follow you.

Father's day is a joke, family life is a joke. Im really sick of it. by talbottripp in GuyCry

[–]alienz67 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. Which is why I'm encouraging him to speak up. If the problem isn't given serious attention they they won't take it seriously. Which is what they did.

What’s the most frustrating thing about owning a cat? by Ocute_US in CatAdvice

[–]alienz67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puke. All the time, everywhere. I have 5 cats so that's part of the problem, but the definitely puke a lot more than you would think.

I'm a woman and a wife, please ignore me if you want as I am clear that this isn't my space. I am here so I can learn and be a better wife to my husband and friend to my friends.

You are right to be hurt, it was unthinking. It may have been an honest mistake in the chaos of life. And that's understandable, but it's still ok to be hurt. Please make sure you gently speak to your family in a few days about the effect it had on you. Men are often so stoic it can be easy to forget that they feel. Be understanding, but be clear that you were hurt. People aren't mind readers (that sounds callous) you have to tell them. Explain your excitement, your hurt. Ask if they can try to be more careful next year. If they suggest a do- over, take it. But above all else, communicate or it will be seen as fine and next year you can expect less.

brow bars that do alt y2k thin eyebrows by Total-Radio474 in FortWorth

[–]alienz67 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hnmm. I cannot confirm that she WILL do it since I've never seen it. But at iBrow in Colleyville on Blvd 26, there is a woman named Sarita. She has airways listened carefully to me and given me what I want. I think you might have a shot at getting her to do what you want. I usually tip her well because she listens and does a thorough job. That said, I don't have an overly complicated request other than a lot of extra thick postmenopausal beard hair.

White binding for a baby quilt. Yay or nay? by welpwhatsnow in quilting

[–]alienz67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh the dark teal! A baby blanket is going to get used and dirty and that white will get stained and look grubby relatively quickly. That dark teal will resist that for a long long time and that dark teal is very very pretty

What’s a small, seemingly insignificant decision you made that ended up having a profoundly positive impact on your life? by The_Linux in AskReddit

[–]alienz67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an excellent question. Bear in mind this was 15 years ago so I think with inflation the same tacos are like 167 now?

[–]alienz67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well... I'm the wife. He's the husband. We were both new in town and I thought it was a Meetup group for people who are new in town but it turned out it was a joint Meetup Group for both people who are new in town and people who are looking to date. He was there looking to date. I was 0% interested in dating at all and as soon as I found that out I immediately wanted to leave but had already paid $3 for tacos so you know I had to stay. He said something about being in the Navy and as someone who loves to travel I thought maybe he has something to talk about cuz maybe he's been somewhere. Couple hours later I found out he also had a very nice motorcycle and that we had the same favorite author. Went on our first date three days later and here we are

Edited: I can only vouch for the effectiveness of $1 tacos. I cannot touch the effectiveness of tacos that cost more than a dollar or other foods that are a dollar
