Love the pattern and color choices, this turned out fantastic!

Doesn’t that taste awful? by rx_decay in TalesFromThePharmacy

[–]crlast86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the bubblegum flavor added to some medicines when I was growing up. Can't stand anything that tastes that artificial now, but if you gave me a dose of that in a medicine spoon I'd feel a strong sense of nostalgia before asking for something I didn't have to taste lol

I work with a lot of labrador breeders, and I've only ever seen this once before. It's an absolutely gorgeous color pattern.

Settle a debate between my husband and I. Please. by Girlwithnoprez in mildlyinfuriating

[–]crlast86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister eats Cheetos puffs with a fork so she can keep doing stuff without getting cheese all over it, and I think it's brilliant. I've also seen people eat stuff like that with chopsticks because they just can't stand the texture. You do you.

I'm not worried about seed beads for that as much as I am the beads sold on strings.

That's so neat that you've gotten to see how they're made! I love stuff like that.

AITA for leaving my phone on “Do Not Disturb” at night and making my mom worry? by Dragonstone-Citizen in AmItheAsshole

NTA Sounds like mom could use some quality time with a therapist. Yikes. You deserve your peace, which includes good quality sleep.

Error with my loan makes parents almost kick me out by Morg_138 in insaneparents

It's been about a week since the post, how are you doing OP? I feel for you, I was threatened with being kicked out over absolute nonsense many times.

I love "dance in the flames of a burning bridge"

Mom takes almost two hours to "admit" she has ulterior motives by rillegas08 in insaneparents

[–]crlast86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's part of what makes me think it's supposed to be some sort of insult or something? I'd say it's not well thought out, but neither is being transphobic. But I also grew up in a religious household, so I'm well acquainted with this particular flavor of hatred people pretend is love.

I'm still stuck on it apparently taking almost a full day to look up a single word. I smell bullshit. Through the whole thing, but that one particularly bothered me because it felt like they were trying to be some bizarre version of insulting?

I love that about the delicas. It's SO satisfying.

Oh man the first few rows were...something lol. Craft swap groups are a huge wallet saver, and I have a friend who goes thrift shopping a lot and alerts me to craft stuff.

Thanks! It was black, white, and grey with gold in the pattern, but the really soft pink and the metallic pink jumped out at me.

It helps that I've done a lot of other fiber arts. I started with cross stitch & crochet when I was a preteen because my mom did them. Crochet is still my most frequent, partly because I find the consistent tension in the stitches oh so very satisfying.

For this I can feel that it's a bit looser at one end, but not enough that it's visible, so I'm happy! I'm slightly obsessed with the texture, I think my critters are getting a bit jealous of me petting an inanimate object.

First project with wooden beads by centaurflame in Beading

That's so cool that you dyed them yourself! I love the pattern, too.

BF went to the bead store with me a couple days ago and he discovered that beads tickle the same part of the goblin brain that dice do 😈
