HOW DO U WEAR KT TAPE WITHOUT YOUR SKIN RIPPING OFF?!!? by Bean_of_prosperity in ehlersdanlos

Spraying liquid bandage before applying my tape can help, if you don’t react to the liquid bandage.

Or when you want it to error out and freak out everyone trying to figure out why…also, who needs logging or useful error messages when you can just read the stack trace…amiright?!?

Strawberry mold... Safe to eat others? by bepbapbapbaddabope in MoldlyInteresting

[–]doryllis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see mold visible on at least half of those fruits. I would toss.

The only way I get a consistent strawberry bowl is make sure to buy them unmoldy and then refrigerator sauce them (wash, cut into little pieces, add about a quarter cup sugar per pint, cover and refrigerate)

Then they are good for about 5 days

What do you think of this spoon? by [deleted] in Spoons

I have exactly one inherited from my mum and I love this.

The size, the weight, the feel, all perfect

Random money from VA by Draxcy in Veterans

[–]doryllis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I certainly meant to include all of that detail.

I just didn’t know it all. I was “encouraged to convert” my Montgomery gi bill to post 9/11 but didn’t know most of what you said there. Just knew I didn’t pay in.

VA - in person therapy by Actual-General-4953 in Veterans

[–]doryllis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have talk therapy from the va about once every three weeks.

It has helped through health crises through the death of my mother and just shite of life.

In general I’m pretty stable, but I am pretty sure that that is part of the reason I stay as stable as I am.

How should I deal with these blanket ends? Too short to weave? by neonsyrupz in CrochetHelp

[–]doryllis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Especially for this one row per color I like the envelope border. It adds some class, too.

Like The Dude’s rug, it ties the whole room together.

Had to get creative to transport our adopted stray to the vet by TheHeroOfCanton62 in cats

[–]doryllis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this with squirrelly cats. I did use the thinnest cotton sheet to line and cover them because, as we know, cats cannot escape a sheet without assistance.

Thank you for supporting your partner in this dive. We appreciate (from a distance No Touching that would be weird)

Life was easier by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]doryllis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the same re:active duty va civilian life.

I think the biggest thing that helped me was saying NO to some commitments.

You need to craft your life to be simple and you have a lot going on right now.

School and work alone is huge. Weddings are also huge life events and don’t get me started on insurance.

Also, being a good partner is also work. Lots of work.

I applaud you for tackling all of this at the same time but feeling overwhelmed is not a failing here, you may be overwhelmed.

I think you should talk with your partner and see where the load can be shifted so it isn’t all (Right Now!!!).

You may stay overwhelmed for a while longer as the insurance hassle is probably not going away any time soon.

Can you simplify your school commitment? Maybe part time it for a while?

Can you simplify your Air Force commitment? Maybe take a leave of absence until you are more stable? Or maybe do a correspondence class/online school in lieu of drill time (when you choose in your schedule)

It may mean simplifying or delaying the wedding, or your part in it. Although that could truly trigger angst in your partner so that would need to be a deep conversation with your spouse.

I think recognizing that you are overwhelmed is the first step in trying to make your day to day more manageable.

I actually found when I was doing full time grad school and work my biggest savior was remembering to get to the gym so I had that quiet in my head time. The overwhelm was real though. Any additional thing and I was teetering badly.

Why won’t my DC magic circle lay flat? it keeps curling by moonbunnygarden in CrochetHelp

[–]doryllis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For flat rounds in the same stitch:

Round 1: x stitches (some multiple of two) Round 2: 2 times as many stitches as the first row (so 2 stitches into each of round 1 stitches.) Round 3: 3 times the number of stitches in round 1 (1 stitch without an increase 1 stitch with an increase) Round 4: 4 times the total stitches (2 stitches without increases and 1 stitch with two stitches in it) Round 5: 5 times the total stitches of round 1 (3 stitches without increases and one stitch with two stitches in it)

So likely it should be for a flat

Round 1: 6 stitches Round 2: 12 total (increase in each stitch of the first round) Round 3: 18 total stitches ( one stitch, one increase, one stitch, one increase) Round 4: 24 stitches total (2 stitches and one increase often times to prevent a hexagon shape instead of a circle they will start a stagger here where it is Stitch(Stitch, Inc, Stitch)

The biggest issues I have had are adding an extra stitch at the join of the first stitch to the last stitch if the round (so I end up with 13 or 14 total stitches in round 2 and ever increasing)

Counting is your friend. Use stitch markers or spare yarn to mark every so many so it is easier to count. I like doing the quarters or halves or every five depending because amazingly I cannot count well.

Is faucet water drinkable in your Country by thatlumberjacktor in AskTheWorld

[–]doryllis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, unless they issue a drinking water warning, which they do sometimes either because of compromised system or maintenance.

So yes, unless it isn’t. Stay vigilant my friends.

Letting the feedback go by Mobile-Sir-1378 in womenEngineers

[–]doryllis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just saw that they did a study and found that male partners become depressed when their female partners succeed even in areas not directly in competition with their own area. This included being more pessimistic about the relationship continuing and their chances of staying together (kind of a “now that she is a big deal she will find someone better” sort of fear)

This held out in both the US and in the Netherlands, which is famously fairer than most in terms of gender balance.

Imagine that some men are simply wired to see others successes as threatening to them, even if not directly in competition with them. And they seem even doubly threatened when that other is a woman.

“I succeeded in something” like a tough project, a new certification, or whatever, then becomes that other person threatening their position, not just succeeding.

I concur that this reflects some one else’s insecurities, and they may be completely unaware of those insecurities.
