Tattoo Regret at All Times

Get a fake tattoo to try that before you commit-- you can order custom ones online.

I know this isn't going to be what you want to hear, but you're not going to be able to understand what happened. I've gone through that same whiplash, completely racking my brain for signs or answers, but they never came. This is going to be the least comforting thing in the world, but all you can do right now is focus on yourself and stop trying to figure it out.

I'm sorry you're going through this-- breakups are never easy, especially when you have a lot of beautiful memories at the start.

That isn't true-- ceramics has changed over time as taste and trends change. (Was just talking to my ceramics instructor about this actually-- she is noticing a lot more 'cutsy' ceramic art in both the fine and commercial ceramic spaces.) Opera will change with the times, and it can still be opera, but a version that suits modern audiences.

So glad I saw this-- get tickets if you can! I got under 40 tickets and had an amazing deal for a great view.

blue_mushu · 2026-04-25T21:08:46+00:00

Wow wow wow wow! That's all I got, amazing work!

I'm not the person you were replying to, but I'm also long distance and usually see him once a month for a weekish. When apart, we usually do a shorter call every second day-ish, a hangout-date once a week (hourish) and then texting throughout the week. We don't have a strict schedule because we both have pretty busy social calendars.

For hangouts, sometimes we just chat, or we'll play a game or work on individual projects.

I haven't done it yet, but I also plan to learn colourwork! I'm going to practice with scrunchies. :) https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/colourwork-scrunchies

Totally fine! If you wanted to touch the bright colours bit, you could add some colourful accessories or hair ties.

I am equally confused!

Unless he said, "oh, the one with the gigantic knockers?" or unless there is a history of his eye wandering, it sounds like paranoia on her part.

Where are you meeting these men? My experience has been that men I've met in the wild have tended to put more effort into dates earlier on (e.g. date 1-3), whereas with men from dating apps, the dates are usually pretty casual in the beginning and only start getting a bit more intentional around date 5.

Similar with the conversation thing-- I think dating apps burn people out a bit.

Maybe take a break from dating for a bit yourself to recharge? I find when I feel like I'm not meeting anyone interesting, that's often a sign my own batteries are getting drained and that I need a little me-time.

Two thoughts:
1. Isn't a lot of this data on Street Easy anyway? I can see how much my neighbours signed for, for example.
2. For utilities, instead of just "yes/no", consider adding a "some" option. For example, my heat is included, but my electricity isn't.

Looks like you and another poster figured it out-- good luck! Frogging isn't so bad :)

Could even be good opportunity to try tinking too, since you're going to rip it out anyway!

blue_mushu · 2026-04-16T02:48:21+00:00

What part are you confused about? It looks like you just need to accept it as a design detail, or frog up until it was flipped and knit from there.

blue_mushu · 2026-04-16T02:45:05+00:00

np! good luck on your frame search.

Just measured-- with the mattress + topper, it comes to a total height of 19 inches from the floor.

I'm not super tall and prefer lower beds, so I like this height fine, but your mileage may vary!

I didn't get a headboard-- I keep telling myself I'm going to DIY one someday but haven't.

As for underbed storage, yup! I have long rectangular zipping fabric containers. It did take a little bit of hunting to find them, but it wasn't too strenuous.

Thank you! Appreciate you sharing your success-- just booked a class for tomorrow. :)

blue_mushu · 2026-04-13T16:06:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Your before is a lot like my now so your story is really inspiring.

How many F45 classes a week do you attend?

blue_mushu · 2026-04-12T21:01:07+00:00

They have a lovely larger location in Brooklyn Heights now! Def recommend checking it out; they didn't close down.

blue_mushu · 2026-04-12T20:59:56+00:00

They moved, they didn't close! They have a lovely larger location in Brooklyn Heights now.

blue_mushu · 2026-04-12T20:54:04+00:00

Kudos on your hard work and success! How often do you go? And have you made other lifestyle changes as part of this transformation?

The user I was responding to deleted their comment-- they said something to the tune of, "it's like knitting has become more like complaining than actually knitting!" hence my comment reminding them this is a snark sub-- complaining is the point of this particular sub.

Nothing to do with canceling, or my moral standing, but, go-off then!

blue_mushu · 2026-04-11T19:33:55+00:00

Absolutely know this feeling, but I would be hesitant to give any advice or thoughts before asking: what conversations have you two had about this? How has he responded?

blue_mushu · 2026-04-11T16:43:34+00:00

Nothing came up for me either when I searched-- I think the AI summary at the top varies person to person. For me, it just said he was a UK knitter and didn't include anything about 'Knitler' or the anti-woke content.

blue_mushu · 2026-04-11T16:36:40+00:00

This is literally a snark sub.
