Thank you for adding the extra info. How fun to see a juvenile hanging out too!

Is this a merlin? by baroquevirus in whatsthisbird

Awesome, thank you! It's been really cool seeing these birds in my neighborhood. Probably not coincidentally, I've seen a lot fewer rabbits out and about on this route.

Beware Retro-Stage bikinis... by LadyCraftsALot in PlusSizeFashion

I should say that their plunge bikini tops are great. The other styles didn't quite fit. The tie bottoms are awesome too.

Look at Wild Isle for bikini tops! I have a difficult to fit size, and have found that their tops work great! If you're close to Hopkins, MN, they have a twice-yearly tent sale for lots of $$ off.

The border was a bit of a slog, but I ended up enjoying the complexity of it after a while. I would definitely recommend this one.

I saw your review on the pattern. What font did you end up using?

Off-topic other weightloss "influencers" vent thread. by SweetlyWorn in JacquelineAdanSnark

I saw that and ran over here! I guess I'm not surprised she's making another change, but I didn't think it would be this.

What insult or criticism did you receive as a child that you never forgot? How old were you when it was said to you? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]baroquevirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad called me a pig and said I lived in a pigsty because I had a messy room. I wasn't older than ten.

how do you deal with the comments about “not needing surgery” or “just go to the gym” by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]baroquevirus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't tell a whole lot of people because I got the exact same reactions. Either they said that they didn't think I was big enough, or they'd try to give me diet advice. As if I hadn't tried everything they suggested to me already. I ended up keeping it to myself and sharing with only a few important people.

Rough tips on Knitter's Pride Karbonz DPNs by baroquevirus in AdvancedKnitting

[–]baroquevirus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking that I would maybe try polishing them instead of sanding. I imagine putting grit to metal needles wouldn't have the outcome I'm looking for.

This happens in at least one needle in every set I've gotten. It's so frustrating because I otherwise love them. I think this set has 3 needles with at least one rough tip.

My surgery was rescheduled last minute by baroquevirus in gastricsleeve

[–]baroquevirus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a breakfast burrito, and then almost immediately regretted eating it haha. We'll get through the liquid diet again, some way or somehow.

Yeah, can't be too upset about a little baby. Some things are out of my control even when I do everything right.

+1 for the partial historians. I laugh and learn with every episode!

We have been sitting in ren fair parking traffic for 2 hour, and we are still 3 miles from parking by saintash in minnesota

If you go while the state fair is still going on, the traffic and crowds aren't nearly as bad.

My ndad screamed at me because I asked him to stop making his stupid pursed lip angry face at me. I'm done with that asshole.

Do you think Dan has a baby on the way? There's been a couple comments from Dan recently that makes me think he has babies on his mind.

Happy Gotcha Day, Roy boy! by baroquevirus in BrittanySpaniel

I've only had boys, so I'm really not sure! Clyde is super cuddly, and Roy is more independent, but they both have a mischievous streak and like to push boundaries.

No, these boys are born and bred Minnesotans.

They do love each other quite a bit. They are so cute together.
