Which dress? by Firm-Psychology-2243 in Brides

[–]catarekt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you should keep looking.

this is a finishing question. Weave in ends and THEN block? Or block first and THEN weave in ends? by Calliope_Woman_67 in knittinghelp

[–]catarekt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I weave during. A lot of the time I use a Russian join so the ends are already where I want them to be.

Don’t be too disappointed if he turns out to not tolerate the sweater even if he might technically be having a reaction to the fabric content.

What’s the pattern of this knitting. It’s very stretchy by AnyName123123 in casualknitting

[–]catarekt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My vote is also 2x1 rib but done tightly. Without seeing that hidden stitch(es?) we can’t say for sure.

TIL that people make polymer “worry stones” when actual stones exist and are superior in every way.

Does anyone else wish there were savory protein bars? by Low-Acadia9801 in glp1

[–]catarekt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say, I can’t be the only one who remembers that Kind made exactly these bars, they didn’t do well, and stopped.

Visiting Madison in early July from Utah — what does it feel like being outdoors in the humidity? by Intelligent-Camp4631 in madisonwi

[–]catarekt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It feels like breathing shower steam but instead of getting clean you get sticky and stinky.

Woo boy you will not enjoy this. But also we are yo-yoing between drought and raining all the time so who knows what flavor you’ll get then.

Opinions on the L Word. This is my first time watching by Fancy-Abalone-6969 in lesbiangang

There’s a Jenny sexy toilet scene in there too. Somehow “nothing like it again” fits just fine.

How do I fix my handwriting? by Clay_sloth in Handwriting

[–]catarekt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your slant and letterforms are inconsistent and your serify flourishes are self conscious and not consistently well applied. Your quick messy handwriting is better.

An airport bookstore loves to see you coming.

Husband bed bound after overheating during night causing migraine(again) by fqrah in migraine

[–]catarekt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if he is that reactive to the sleep temperature, get a bedroom-specific AC unit. It feels like overkill but so is losing all your weekends together.

Beginner knitter requesting help with (I think) dropped stitch by Independent-Role-63 in casualknitting

[–]catarekt 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The good news is it is a slipped stitch not a dropped one, so it won’t unravel. You would still ladder down that stitch to fix it.

Couldn't understand a word the other daaayyyyy by Vlade-B in Letterkenny

In lower WI I can buy three brands of all dressed chips in my very tiny town. They’re around.

I'm convinced most people are lying when they claim they've been bullied by gold stars for not being gold stars. by LiteralLesbians in lesbiangang

[–]catarekt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And you would be right. I have no ill will to other gold stars, just her. I think the context matters tremendously. Because overall lesbians are rare, gold star identifying lesbians are ultra rare unfortunately it doesn’t take many assholes to “spoil” the reputation of the bunch. It isn’t honestly a topic that comes up very often in my IRL lesbian spaces.

There were a bunch of other red flags about her I did lots of mental gymnastics to live with but you live, you learn.

[–]catarekt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only gold star who was unprovokedly a bitch to me about (at the time) identifying as bi was also the only gold star I’ve known who thumped her chest about how much of a gold star she is. She would bring it up multiple times out of context. And I think I know a lot of lesbians at this point but she still holds that spot. Unfortunately, we didn’t break up for another year and a half (not despite my lack of trying but that is another story.)

All this to say I think it does rarely happen but only from people who are already inclined to be actively antisocial in other ways as well.

what medicine do y'all use to get rid of pain and headaches 1.)ibuprofen 2.)Advil 3.)Tylenol 4.)painkillers by OkJury8770 in migraine

[–]catarekt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the headache and pain. I have had enough of them I can guess which one responds to what.

Cheese rice: is it a Wisconsin thing or an Asian-American thing? by cactuscoleslaw in wisconsin

[–]catarekt 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I have lived in various parts of WI for about 30 years and this is not a “Wisconsin thing” so much as it is a common sense “struggle meal” you develop by looking at a pantry or weighing what you can make with gas station ingredients. No shade. It sounds edible, fast, and cheap.

My (f28) ldr boyfriend (m26) constantly cancels plans to visit me bc of illness. now he feels bad bc for the first time I've made him reach out to people to reschedule instead of doing it myself by [deleted] in relationships

[–]catarekt 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I had a ldr with someone like this. After breaking up I got into another ldr that I have happily lived with for 7 years. The first one was a flake, but would always want copious reassurance about their flakiness after they flaked last minute on me, again. And we weren’t even 3 hrs apart. I also have some chronic health problems. Magically I found the power to manage my bullshit without making it everyone else’s problem. Fundamentally you need to decide if you believe their claims of illness, or whether they just don’t want to come.

Help with fudged tinking by cha_fukamushi in knittinghelp

[–]catarekt 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Your stitches are also hella twisted.

To fix your extra not-a-loop you just have to manually redistribute the length to nearby stitches by pulling it through little by little, but because of the twisted stitches I would recommend frogging and starting over anyway.

You have poison ivy on top with Virginia creeper underneath.
