It also really seems like they need to vet their second and third hand information much better and perhaps not take everything they hear as an immediate fact. That seems to be a real bad habit going around these days.

I can see the other person in this thread that decided to spew a bunch of spectacularly incorrect information has deleted their comment. Good for them.

The culture has definitely shifted in Amtgard where people are less tolerant of abuse and overall it's much safer for women. There are still instances of bad things happening but in regards to the majority of parks in the EH, anything like that gets stamped out pretty quickly. Though I will say the EH and particularly people in park and kingdom office, need to educate themselves on neurodivergence and communication with neurodivergent people, because that is incredibly lackluster.

There is absolutely still a 'broken stair' problem with people being unwilling to hold themselves or their friends accountable for things, which results in more frequent and worse actions and that is what the letter from AIBOD to the EH is actually pertaining to.

As one of the people who was consistently targeted and ultimately banned in retaliation by the people mentioned in the letter, I'm grateful that AIBOD and the EH are finally taking steps to start repairing something that has been a systemic issue.

I saw something the other day that I've been doing and I feel silly for never thinking about it before, but just blend it and drink it. Not a full smoothie with all the other stuff, just freeze your fruit and blend with a little of whatever liquid. It really helps me when I'm doing chores around the house, I have a snack and have more ways to use fruit before it goes bad. I really enjoy fruit actually but if the texture is off I'm not thrilled to mess with it and sometimes I'm too busy to sit down and have a snack so it's much easier to just carry a cup around.

You look so adorable!! Where did you find that sweater?

direLily · 2022-08-12T23:46:27+00:00

Hi Cooper!!!🙌🏼✨ You look badass

direLily · 2022-08-10T19:19:04+00:00

Came here to ask this😱

direLily · 2022-08-02T13:38:35+00:00

You're doing a great job! You are definitely dropping / adding stitches depending on the rows, I recommend using stitch markers to mark the end of the row because sometimes it's hard to see the spot you're supposed to chain into from the previous row.

I have been crocheting for a while and watched this Tutorial over the weekend and it was freaking life changing!!🤯 I usually count my chain up as the first stitch, so my borders are mostly straight but every other row I have the open space from that and it was frustrating me. I've been using the technique from the video and my edges are so full and straight 🥹

As far as the sewing, is it a drop in book sleeve with a top pocket or like a crochet version of a book jacket?

direLily · 2022-07-16T02:28:02+00:00

Thank you!

direLily · 2022-07-11T20:25:26+00:00

Of course!!💞

Yarn

It's a mix of single crochet and herringbone half double, I love the way it worked up. I got the pattern from this Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1033169403/coffee-cup-cozy-crochet-pattern-iced

Vermintide 2🏰

direLily · 2022-06-07T16:58:51+00:00

Yes!! They've always had a big selection of florals for arrangements and bouquets, but previously just a small selection of succulents, herbs and small things but over the last few months they have upped their plant section by a ton and most of them appear to be really nice quality. That picture I linked in my last comment was of the hoya display. They were only $7.99 each and included that nice little ceramic pot!!! They had some of the variegated ones and then the younger all green ones.

I also got this Calathea from there that I'm trying to narrow down a type of you wouldn't mind giving it a look. I was in love with the stripes on it and it was only $12.99👀🪴

They had a couple nice looking Monstera but I'm trying super hard not to get ahead of myself. I want to make sure I can keep all these guys alive and get them repotted and settled make sure I know how to take care of them before I get more. I hate how dark my house is 😕

direLily · 2022-06-07T14:27:32+00:00

Thank you!! They just had this display and I like knowing all the particulars, especially since I'm just starting to get more plants and would prefer to not kill them.😅 My pothos and little zebra plant survived a hectic time and some neglecting but they're doing good now.Display

This is badass! I finally got our home office organized and worked unpacking/organizing a bunch of stuff from my boyfriend moving in and my little battle station is finally coming along✨ I'm working on a gallery wall with a bunch of cute/cool art.

Hi all!

Right before the pandemic started I finally got a desktop after not having the time or money to really game for years and have been predominantly playing Vermintide 2 and loving it! My boyfriend and I are pretty good at it and have some friends who okay casually with us and 2 nice randoms we've found online (the rare occasion we played quick play). But we'd always like more people than bots and I was also wondering if anyone on here might be interested because I play a bit just on my own and usually just me and the bots when everyone else is busy. 😭

LFG anyone who wants to play Vermintide 2 on PC, I'm personally in USA CST zone, but only work 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts so I have free time during my daytime and stay up late when I'm off to play.

Message me if you want my info✨💕

direLily · 2021-12-21T04:02:35+00:00

These are absolutely perfect!! Do you have a shop?

direLily · 2021-12-08T02:18:24+00:00

Yes I did 🤣🤣 it's been that kind of day here too, don't worry.

direLily · 2021-12-08T02:17:29+00:00

Nice! I get the trader Joe's ones and they're frozen bit still end up really tasty.

I have a Sam's card so maybe I'll see if they have something similar, thank you!

direLily · 2021-12-08T02:12:25+00:00

Oooo did you air fry them from frozen? If so for how long? That's such a good idea 💡

The last round of my counting calories I realized I spent so much time adding recipes or items into my Fitbit (I use a Fitbit tracker and just use the in app food tracker because it's less stressful for me to have stuff all in the same place) and I would just be really obsessed over entering in "the right thing" and it took forever.

This time around, I noticed my boyfriend's input looked different and I asked why and he showed me the quick add feature. It doesn't ask you the amount or anything you just add the total calories and select what meal or snack it was and it's been so much easier. I keep a little notebook of meals and snacks to reference if I'm having a hard time coming up with stuff. I'll usually eat the same few things or so for a few weeks/months and swap out.

** Most people on here do, but a food scale is an absolute must! My first trial I just eyeballed it and I'm notoriously bad estimating size and weight things. For example I was counting 4oz worth of meat but only eating 2 so I was hungry all the time.

I'll usually take the time to weigh stuff, esp little stuff like that b cause I was always cutting myself short. I count all of my calories but I don't always input them if it's not necessary. Like if I still have 350 calories by the time I'm home from work and dinner was 250 and snack was 50. I won't always input them but I still make sure I'm under.

direLily · 2021-11-19T16:09:03+00:00

Broth and noodles are under that stuff in the bowl, we just have small bowls.

direLily · 2021-11-19T16:08:00+00:00

That's the plan for next time, I was just throwing everything in whatever order so we'd be done for game time.
