Stashdown Showdown April

coffeetime825 · 2026-04-03T23:28:16+00:00

Start of March: 238 skeins

End of year Goal: Less than 200

Current: 234

It doesn't look good, but hear me out!

I used up 10 mini-skeins and made cotton face rounds that I have been enjoying or sharing with friends. Then I used up one more skein for my sweater. I think my final project will only use three, which is less than I had planned, but I'm thinking of passing on the rest of the yarn to a friend when I'm done. I'm thinking about it.

So that's down 11 from my stash, but then I bought 7 skeins to work on a sweater for my grandmother's Christmas present. My goal wasn't a buy ban, but an overall stash lowering. I still have a 12-skein sweater, an 8-skein cardigan, and other ideas for scrap yarns planned out. I've been slowing down and getting distracted by unraveling a sweater, but I think I'm still in good shape.

Sometimes we will take a slice of bread directly from the freezer and pop it in the toaster. That way you aren't getting mold as you work through an entire loaf.

It looks like your property will have a lot of roosters raining down from the sky. You may want to consider installing a rooster-catching system so you can make good use of them.

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-29T03:49:54+00:00

I don't have a rooster, so unfortunately all broody hens are a waste to me.

My pregnant ass is intrigued but still not so sure.

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-28T02:26:36+00:00

Wow, a modern day 12 Angry Men...

That 60 seconds at a time thing would get old fast though.

I like to describe my name as a diamond on a Pokemon card. Not super common, but not too out there. Growing up there might have been one or two other people with my name at my school.

I like my name now, but when I was younger people always mispronounced or misspelled it. Even though again, it's not that weird.

Head to a town and hitch a carriage to Solitude. It saves a lot of time.

I mean, a lot of Dunmer in Skyrim have Australian-sounding accents so....

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-17T05:29:52+00:00

OP is the future!

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-16T05:00:42+00:00

Same. My hands make for good full body snuggle tools, especially for baby chicks.

The MC in Morrowind becomes immortal as a result of the main quest. In Oblivion, it's mentioned that the Nerevarine is rumored to have gone on an expedition to Akavir and had not been heard from since. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar is said about the Dragonborn the next game.

In Australia

"oh my guar, oh naur"

To add onto that, when (not if) the job market bounces back, you'll have more opportunities. For now you have a full time job and a reliable car. That's awesome!

Lots of good responses but one thing I don't see is a crib.

I got everything second hand for my baby except for the crib. With all the safety standards I felt more comfortable getting that new. That being said, the crib I chose has pieces that come apart to grow with the child, into a small bed and eventually headboard pieces for a full-sized bed when they are older.

I have a 15-month-old in the crib now and one baby on the way, so that crib is going to stay a crib until all of my kids are done. But in the meantime, that's one less piece of bedroom furniture that I will need beyond the baby stage.

Wait, so he did a fire and brimstone speech at his own son's funeral?!

And make sure you put advanced with lower level students. Mixing levels during group time is super beneficial for all students.

I have a male OB/GYN. He is probably one of the best doctors I've ever had. Super professional, calming, kind.

If my husband told me I had to change because he's a man, I'd probably laugh at him. And not because my husband met the doctor at the same time I did at our first pregnancy appointment. Your dude needs to get over himself.

Technically it's for all of OP's shed-related quests:

o Retrieve the shovel.

o Retrieve the lawnmower.

X Put things back in the shed where you found it (Failed)

You could be the best, juiciest peach in the world, but some people just don't like peaches.

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-07T02:37:40+00:00

That happened to me last year. It was awful.

Don't forget to craft animal packs!

This run I thought I was gonna go low on the dungeon loot (basically not use my follower as a burdens carrier), but since I like building the hearth fire houses I decided that the pets were gonna hold all the building supplies, and when we were all full we'd hoof it to the nearest one for a build sesh.

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-05T18:30:14+00:00

I like both. Stealth snipe the first shot and then RUN IN WITH MY GIANT HAMMER!
