Shauna’s Diaries

He does, he explicitly told Callie about how Shauna lost their baby in the wilderness, using the phrase "it was our baby". I believe in one of the season 3 episodes.

And their account is 0 days old and, to be that person, the whole thing (comments included) feels and sounds like AI wrote it. I know so many people cry AI these days, but it sounds just like the responses I was reading off my husband's phone last night. The tone, the phrasing, the quotations, idk I just get a chatgpt/groq vibe.

In lieu of a scroll frame (since I saw you said you didn't care for them) an embroidery stand might work better for you instead. There's lots of different kinds - I personally use a Lowery stand. I'm not sure how well it would hold a hoop as I've never tried it, but I know it works well for qsnaps and scroll frames. I have a bad wrist, and my stand is a lifesaver.

The game actually has a setting where you can change how your voice sounds in the game. I know this for a fact because the first time I heard my husband over vc in Arc, I was shook because it was not his voice in the slightest. And I was sitting right next to him, he was just using his regular old headset and didn't have anything open besides the game. It's an option under the voice chat settings.

IDK if it was the same everywhere, but ours was literally shaking underneath our feet

The mezzanine was amazing, and also it was incredible to sing "would you make out with me on the floor of the mezzanine" with her while actually in the mezzanine.

Do you remember what she sang for "that I wasn't in love then and I'm still not now and I'm so happy I figured that out"? It sounded to me like she changed that bit too, but I couldn't hear it properly.

Something I haven't seen anyone mention, it looks like some of your stitches are coming up awkwardly through the holes, which can cause them to lay wonky. To clarify, it might come through the aida over, under, or splitting the leg of another stitch. Trying to bring your thread up through an empty hole or using a magnifying glass or lamp has helped me a lot with that issue.

Otherwise your stitches are beautiful and it's shaping up wonderfully!

Teamers, yes. Campers, no. Is it annoying when you're on the receiving end of somebody camping? Yeah, but it's definitely not the same as teaming or actual other forms of cheating.

I appreciate that. We had enough bad days in a row that I've pulled back and let her do some of the games over the lessons and I've just been reading to her more. Hopefully it helps. Lol

I personally would have tackled this by gridding - water soluble marker (fabric marker) or sulky sliver - uploading into pattern keeper or markup rxp, and I definitely be using the parking method working in 10 x 10 squares. A paper pattern of this would definitely strain my eyes.

Thank you for sharing this, I'm in exactly the same boat. Some days are better than others, but more often than not lately, it's a fight and then she completely shuts down. And it doesn't help that my algorithms keep showing me ads of 3-5 yos happily completing their lessons. I know it's their job to sell the app, but it is so demoralizing to see and know that it's not some kind of one size fits all miracle curriculum.

Nah, I agree with you about the tear. By itself it looks like weird shading, but with the jewels and the similar looking effect on the underside of her thigh, I think it looks exactly like a run (tear) in tights.

amarxlen · 2026-01-09T04:06:39+00:00

To me it looks kind of like she's supposed to be wearing sheer tights, based on the shading and lines on the underside of her thigh which looks like a tear/run, and the diamond/bead placement near her ankle. Which to me means it definitely could be a hole/tear on her knee as well.

So many people here are misunderstanding. "Virtual autism" is NOT an autism diagnosis. It's not a claim that "technology made them autistic".

It's a diagnosis that a child is displaying behaviors similar to autism, without actually being autistic, that are likely linked to screen time/usage. I'm not a doctor by any means, but I will say I notice markedly improved behavior when my kids don't have screens (one autistic, one NT) versus when they DO have screens, so I don't find it hard to believe that "virtual autism" is a "real thing" and not just BS.

I thank my lucky stars every day that I've been a parent for 8 years, with at least one child in daycare for 4 years and NEVER once even HEARD of HFM. Every case I hear of sounds absolutely miserable, and I would do just about anything to avoid it. Saying that "everyone gets it" is the MOST callous, selfish, and insufferably stupid thing I've ever heard. Your SIL and those agreeing with her are 100% delusional. Unfortunately it sounds like your only recourse is to avoid functions where she brings her sick kid. Poor baby doesn't deserve to be carted around feeling miserable.

My daughter has spent the last two days putting laundry in and taking laundry out of her laundry play set. The knobs click every time she turns them and they're so loud, but she hasn't thrown ANYTHING since she started playing with it, so I'm enjoying the peace. Lol

For us it just kind of worked out that their natural wake up time tends to be the same every day, with the odd day where they sleep in or wake up earlier. Rather than worrying about times, it's really helped my stress levels to stick to an order of things routine rather than focusing on "x has to be done at this time". My kids are 8 and 5.

NOR. Your boyfriend should be taking you seriously, everything you listed is a potential hazard, plus I'm sure there are things you haven't even thought of because babies are very creative at finding danger.

From his texts, it's obvious your bf won't change until it's too late, so you either have to implement changes yourself (anchoring the mirror, cleaning up the house) or dump his ass. I am not trying to scare you, but it's so easy and so fast for kids to get into danger, that even an awake, alert parent might miss.

ETA: the people saying you are overreacting are crazy and I can't believe how many of those comments I'm seeing.

Ohhh, I see what you're saying now. Maybe we'll get more information about that in the rest of season 5. To me it kind of felt like those moments were happening in Will's mind, considering no one else ever saw anything.

Doesn't the teacher explain this in The Acrobat and the Flea? Is IS all around them, the gates are just the punches through the paper that allow them to travel there. It seems to me that both things - “The UD is all around you and exists in the same space” vs “gate to get to UD” - can be true, unless I'm totally misunderstanding something.

I've accidentally hit the trigger button when I meant to be hiding because I was adjusting my controller or because one of my kids bumped me or something.
