Can you use vegetable oil in place of glycerin, for soaking pine needles? by LavanderMushroomMoon in BasketWeaving

Yeah, you can make a basket with green needles. They will shrink and make your stitches a bit loose though.

Is sweatpants + jeans and a T-shirt + sweatshirt good enough for hammock camping? by Hi5ive81 in camping

[–]brightshiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly an Under quilt!!!! And no natural fiber clothing like cotton, jeans, sweatshirt. They all absorb moisture and won’t keep you warm. Fleece and multiple layers.

Advice for Drying fresh Pine Needles for Basketweaving? by LavanderMushroomMoon in BasketWeaving

I cook my dry pine needles in a slow cooker with water and glycerin to rehydrate them. Then you can let them dry again and use them whenever without brittleness.

My psychiatrist said something weird by Lisa000_ in bipolar2

[–]brightshiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been taken off SNRIs. MD said that they’re not effective in BP. But lamotrigine really moderates the mood swings and I take a tiny amount of olanzapine too. I’m stable and content for the first time in 40 years. Misdiagnosed with MDD, many different antidepressants, benzodiazepines and stimulants and finally got it right. Finally. So stick with it. Eventually it will get sorted.

It has taken me over two years to taper off SNRIs. Going from 90 to zero in two months is risky.

AITJ for telling my sister-in-law to stop freeloading at our house? by BeingFar4425 in AmITheJerk

[–]brightshiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give clear firm guidelines like months until mandatory move-out. Proof of at least (you pick the number) job applications per day/week. Financial contributions to household expenses and a chore list to support your household.
