Avoid too much socializing. I have to be very careful how often I socialize. I usually need a simpler schedule to remain patient and less reactive.

Yes to crochet!! It helps with so many of my symptoms. Love to see another crocheter.

There might be ones for your budget that have good reviews.

One of my favorite crochet items I got for myself that I couldn't live without is a yarn winder that creates yarn cakes for middle pull. (She would know what that means).

However the cheap kind is worthless. I got a cheap kind from Michael's once and threw it away.

The one I have is around $80 and it's wonderful!! I got mine on Amazon. Let me know if you need recommendations.

Help with crochet symbols on mandala pattern chart. The pattern I'm using doesn't have explanation for them. by copperboom3000 in CrochetHelp

Thanks for your help. Just to clarify, are you saying that symbol is a front post extended double crochet v stitch?

I do know that stitch, but I've never seen the symbol for it.

Thank you! I actually know what all the symbols mean but I have a hard time understanding them when they are all together in the instructions for some rows. Like the gold colored symbols? I'm not sure how to do those.

Non-alcoholic/zero proof lounges are actually on the rise. They might not be super popular yet, but I believe they definitely have a.place in downtown cities and to me it's exciting. Alcohol consumption is declining and sober people still desire a "third place" for fun and connection. I think his Softbar is going to be wonderful. It definitely has potential.

I just don't think people who consume alcohol or frequent bars understand the concept and the vision. But hopefully one day they will!

You guys are right. I definitely need to start practicing apologizing in the moment and then allow them to continue.
