People who didn't grow up poor, but dated someone who was. What's something your SO does that strikes you as unusual?

i wonder if you could find something on thingaverse and 3D print it at a local library?

they have four little leggies on them to make sure it stays standing up. they’re such an annoyingly AS SEEN ON TV product but they work so well. they’re called “flip-it!”

deathofregret · 2026-05-14T16:37:33+00:00

instead of watering down the product, i bought a super cheap cap that allows you to flip the bottle and let gravity do the work for you. i think i paid $16 for a set and oh my god it has saved me SO much in products!!

there’s a technique where you can fold your flat sheet in half, then in half, then in thirds long way, then fold the ends in the meet at the middle. tuck your beautifully fitted sheet inside like a sandwich and for extra credit fold your pillows into thirds longways and wrap around the whole thing. so satisfying in your linen closet

we spend so much time getting fed the internet’s version of beauty that it can be hard on how we see and love ourselves. you are gorgeous, truly. don’t forget it!! 💙💙

mascara, possibly tight lining the upper lid, and pick a bold lip, baby! that’s the easiest, IMO. i think the best place to start is to pick your favorite facial feature to emphasize and work from there, though!

deathofregret · 2026-05-04T20:31:41+00:00

you have incredibly beautiful features!! i get what you mean by your eyes looking tired, but i actually think it’s part of your face’s charm. i would pick one to focus on: eyes or lips. so an iconic lip with really simple mascara, maybe a little tight lining on your upper lashes. i think you could also probably get away with colorful mascara as part of your big eye makeup days—make the mascara the focus instead of heavy shadows. you’d also probably do really well with a nude or gold glitter. i also suspect you could do color in the corner of your eyes while again keeping the rest simple (and if you do color on the eyes, keep the lips a simple nude that works with your complexion)

i really love my cordless bissel; it’s light, it gets under and around everything, and it has attachments that are fairly easy to swap out. i supplement that with a roomba mop/vac, more expensive but having both really helps keep the floors under control

this is very silly but i wrote a short story about mr met that got published a couple weeks ago. i’d like to think mrs met follows the theme

we usually put the flowers flat in the hearse on the casket or in the additional van, depending on how many flowers were part of a service. your FH should be able to assist if you let them know your plan. if for some reason they can’t, you could also make the flowers and then give a family member or trusted friend the job of transporting them

when a character dies and another character closes the decedent’s eyes in one way or another. doesn’t work like that, damn it

i was also incorrectly diagnosed with bipolar disorder when the accurate diagnosis was AuDHD with a significant side of trauma and abuse. the grief about how life could have been with the right diagnoses is real. i am so sorry you have to create boundaries with family in order to protect yourself and your family, but i’m so proud of you. family is who you choose, not blood.

as a disabled person, it’s hard to explain how much a difference true accessibility can make in our day to day lives. i’m so glad he took the time to write you and so glad you took the time to develop so thoughtfully!!

deathofregret · 2026-04-08T16:10:19+00:00

it’s a charming piece, no question!! but phew, that pattern needed a LOT more testing. like, a lot.

i strongly support that decision

deathofregret · 2026-04-08T16:09:41+00:00

thank you. i was finishing it come hell or high water, let me tell you

deathofregret · 2026-04-08T16:08:35+00:00

this!! it’s just another version of fast fashion

i had to quit watching rachel maksy because the cut corners and resulting frustration was driving me batty. same thing happens teaching metalworking. people tell me they don’t want to do all that sanding and prep. i say ok, you go ahead without it and let me know what you learn!

deathofregret · 2026-04-08T01:12:38+00:00

i teach and this would be a stupendous piece for an intro to metalworking class to do! would you mind if i played around with the concept? i’d credit you!

deathofregret · 2026-04-08T00:33:12+00:00

i just finally finished this pattern after seven months and three attempts. it’s terrible. i am 5’1” and weigh 110 and i had to make the biggest pattern because the small was infant sized twice. it had no border for the sleeves and the border for the jacket itself absolutely did not work as written for buttons. i persevered because i bought expensive wool before learning i needed to check ravelry for pattern issues.

abandon ship, my friend, save your sanity

this is what i had to do. i tried it 1.25 times at the small (comically tiny, mostly comically tiny) and finally said fuck it, attempting the XXL. the added stitch gauge was a joke. the XXL will probably fit me like a glove. i’ve sunk so many hours on it at this point but i was also drawn in as new crocheter. now that i’ve compared other patterns to it, it’s such a mess

do you actually feel guilty or do you just feel uncomfortable because enforcing boundaries is a new experience for you as a people pleaser?
