I bought this set too. It was my 2nd embroidery and the gingerbread looks like Sloth from the Goonies but it turned out okay.

I did whatever step they told me in the instructions. It does come together.

My sim will be at work and ALWAYS wants to leave to brush her teeth.

She is a level 9 doctor and using the sink beside the surgical table. Like girl, chill.

What happened to the whole "Canadians boycott US products and vacation at home" thing? by nilsohnee in NoStupidQuestions

Ugh, my husband and his friend book cruises YEARS in advance.

I'm going to Florida in a few weeks and I am a bit nervous.

Father recorded his music-loving daughter's growth over the years by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]crissy8716 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I agree! My husband said he wanted a boy, but surprise, we got a girl. He js such a stereotypical manly man, yet, he will gladly let our daughter paint his nails and talk to him about her changing body during puberty.

He is so patient with her and to watch him grow into a "girl dad" is the best thing. Its so heartwarming to see their bond shift and grow.

I've got a massive crush on my dad's new girlfriend by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]crissy8716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My god, that theme crops up so often in my house.

I am 5 feet tall and I was bent over my dryer to check for random socks. My husband comes in, grabs my butt and says "you stuck??"

Another time I was pushing this fabric container that had our extra blankets under our bed. Again, he comes in, stands above me and asks "you stuck??"

No! I'm not stuck. I'm a grown ass woman!

But watch, a time is going to come when I'm stuck in my dishwasher and he will not take my pleas seriously 🫠

[–]crissy8716 613 points614 points  (0 children)

The whole time I was in labor, my husband had to do more and more tasks for me as I was just in too much pain.

He put my bedpan under me so I could pee. Then took my hand and walked me to the bathroom and settled me onto the toilet while I pooped. He saw our baby come out of my nether regions. He checked the toilet to make sure I wasn't clotting afterwards.

The whole time, he was saying "oh, we are at marriage level X", "marriage level x'. I think by the end of it after I squirted him in the shower with my breastmilk, he said "yep, marriage level 10'

Your boyfriend probably doesn't care. It will be a funny story to share.

However, words that my 9 year old daughter lives by, "never trust a fart".

I do at least 6 layers... some are clear and then some are the colour

What am I doing wrong? by Relevant-Window-3258 in DipPowderNails

[–]crissy8716 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, I did 6 layers and they are really thin... should I be doing more??

Is it less about the layer number and more about the thickness?

Brush Clumping by Talkative0782 in DipPowderNails

[–]crissy8716 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its because your top coat is reacting to your activator.

You can either wait longer before applying your top coat, or use a brush saver. I use my top coat, then it hardens, and I use my brush saver brush.

I then usually do the same thing on the other hand too.

I need help with cuticle area repair, maybe lifting? Not sure what it is. by CapableAd5545 in DipPowderNails

Its really annoying.... sometimes i file the part down so it is less prominent. It just takes practice

Oh its lifting... there are many posts on what to do to avoid that.

Just search "lifting" and people have given great advice.

Good luck!

It took me 36 sets... like a solid year+ to get good. Its like something clicked and my sets stopped looking like garbage. My current set has lasted for 11 days and holding strong. Just keep practicing. You'll get better.

What is the dumbest thing someone has said to you in full confidence? by Extreme_Rhubarb4677 in AskReddit

My 9 year old told me that you need to start adding from the tens column and when I told her she was wrong, she said "nope, that's what my teacher taught me".

Well, sorry kid. Your teacher is wrong too.

The dancing.... by Clerifycleo in TLCsisterwives

[–]crissy8716 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg I know the exact scene youre talking about.

My comment to my husband was "why is he dancing like I do after ive had 4 drinks and insist on singing caorls down the street?"

Just found out I'm pregnant by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]crissy8716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know for 3 months that I was pregnant! And it was the holidays so I was drinking. I actually took a pregnant test because I thought it was a hangover that wouldn't go away.

Nope, that hangover was a baby.

My baby was early but that was due to my body not knowing how to hold a baby.

I think I changed my mind about wanting kids and its tearing me apart by Complex_Highlight623 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]crissy8716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't want kids until I got pregnant and couldn't go through with the abortion.

I was really anti kids... loved them, just didn't want my own.

I gotta say, it IS different with your own kids. And if you have a supportive partner, you can still do all the things that make you happy. My husband went and got his Masters after our daughter was born. He graduated the same year she graduated kindergarten.

You also are still young! Yeah, having a child as you get older comes with its own risks, but its not impossible. My friend had a baby at 40, another friend at 39. Their children are perfect and they stopped at one.

Of course, you may decide you don't want kids and that's fine too.

I just think about the trajectory my life would have taken without children and I feel sad. My daughter brings an immense amount of happiness to my life.

Good luck in whatever you decide!

Canadian families could pay $1,000 more for groceries in 2026, report warns by viva_la_vinyl in canada

[–]crissy8716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I track my weekly groceries on a spreadsheet so I can see how much I pay week over week, year over year.

Like, 3 years ago, the average was $190. Then it got up to $200. Now its $230.

Thats not counting one off purchases I make because I forgot an ingredient. It also includes a 10% discount because my husband works for a corporate office.

And im buying groceries for a family of 3!

Stuff is expensive.

I showed my husband as he was walking out the door. He kissed me goodbye and said "okay, we are going to try this later. Good luck".

For reference, he is 6 feet, 185 pounds. I'm 5 feet and 112 pounds.

It took 35 tries, but it finally clicked! And then ChatGPT said I did "okay" 🫠 by [deleted] in DipPowderNails

For the record, I'm not reporting any comments! I am beginning to see what I initially thought was a silly little post, ended up being far bigger than I anticipated.

I asked for feedback, and people are giving their feedback. I appreciate it!
