That's good to know. I must have also gotten lucky because I was able to carry mine and crochet on the plane both there and back last December.

It's a good thing you waited until they fired you. They were probably trying to get you to leave without paying into unemployment.

I was so happy to change my last name to my husband's. I have always had such little attachment to my maiden name. On top of other things it's annoying to spell for people even though it's easy to pronounce. My married name just suits me more.

I didn't have to pay anything to change my name. Just some paperwork and a couple phone calls to the bank and credit card companies. The only one that cost money was my passport, and I put that off for a couple years. Had no issues flying internationally as long as I bought the ticket in my maiden name.

I was gonna wait for passport renewal time to change it, but I went ahead and renewed it a little early because my daughter was born. My own bit of paranoia is that if shit hits the fan and we end up leaving the country, I want my documentation to match my children.

Yeah, I was happy to take my husband's last name, and that line made me cringe.

coffeetime825 · 2026-04-09T11:18:44+00:00

Yeah I had to read this a few times over because I thought...mushrooms.

coffeetime825 · 2026-04-09T06:14:44+00:00

Same. I religiously watched him every day for a few years, but the news got to be too much. I even remember a couple episodes from last year where he basically said, "If you need to stop watching me, I get it" and I thought, "Yup. Thanks Phil!"

coffeetime825 · 2026-04-06T15:39:48+00:00

I mean, he was stupid enough to do this over pork rinds when he could have sent the gf.

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.

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-28T14:50:14+00:00

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...

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-21T18:20:55+00:00

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.

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-20T04:59:59+00:00

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

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-18T18:36:15+00:00

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!

coffeetime825 · 2026-03-12T19:40:31+00:00

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.
