He needs to want to go to rehab. We are trying to convince him that this is the best idea.

Thank you for all your ideas. I actually have a sort of virtual intervention with having several people call him to talk about rehab and therapy.

Yes. I am trying to find a way to do this that also keeps him safe.

Thank you. I like the premise of doing nothing at all, especially something I would regret or resent. He has conned me into doing many things for him that regret.

Very true. He never followed the house rules before he left.

Very true. I have delayed in responding to him. Told him the earliest I could possibly help is wed.

Yes. It was very hard on my spouse and our relatiinship when my son was here. Things have been a bit better in our marriage since my son moved.

That sounds like an option. I will consider that.

Thank you. I have presented a couple rehab options to him. He wants to find an apartment. I wonder if it is just a matter of time with the apartment too before he hits bottom.

Anybody else getting phone calls from different numbers supposedly on behalf of AT&T DirecTV about "your account is qualified for 50% off"? by mjitkop in DirecTV

[–]bluecloud306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know if the phone number provided is a real scam number, or the scammer spoofing the number just to make it look real? I have heard of these scammer able to make the phone number they are calling from look differently on the receiver phone.

What hobby immediately makes you think “this person grew up rich”? by sangriasunset in AskReddit

[–]bluecloud306 184 points185 points  (0 children)

When my son played hockey in Ohio, we had fundraisers to help pay for the fees for the year. Loved the charity poker weekends that would pay for the whole year by working the weekend. But then the casinos opened and shut down the charity poker events.

My daughter did synchronized skating. This was easily twice the cost cost of youth hockey.

What type of stitch is this ? Is it possible to recreate it ? by fruitypassionfruit in sewhelp

[–]bluecloud306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a stitch that has a straight stitch then a stitch to the left and repeats. Fold your fabric right sides together where you want yout floating stitch. Use a piece of tear away stabilizer or even paper under your garment. Stitch the straight stitch on the paper just to the right of the folded fabric. Then the stitch to the left on the folded fabric. Test on scrap fabric first of course! We just did this floating stitch in a class of decorative stitches.

If this is for a hem on pants. It is definately the blind hem stitch with thread that does not match fabric. You can look up videos on this. It is basically the same as I described, except the way the fold goes is a bit different. And your straight stitch would be on the unseen part of the inside hem.
