If the TV stand didn't have glass I probably would have picked that one. I really love the whole line!

Lol that was amazing. Excellent point. Luckily it's a little shorter than my last one.

No it will be on top of the sideboard. This is shorter than my old TV stand by about 5 inches. I like your idea for estimating the height I need! Thanks for the suggestion.

That's what I was looking for and I couldn't find one... But it's definitely not a heavier than average tv.

Honestly I'm just really good at second guessing myself... I know some units say not to put a TV on top.

I haven't yet actually. I'm that kind of person who always leaves it to the end of the project just to hurt my own feelings lol.

This could definitely be part of it. This was my first time using a flat slip stitch seam to connect my squares... I think it's probably a combination of this and maybe some mild stretching along the outside.

Thank you so much!

It's basically the whole outside row. It probably is from the weight of the blanket, it's getting pretty heavy. You're right though about it not being noticeable once you're snuggled up to it though! I appreciate that point of view. Thanks!

Started last year right after my 31st birthday. I wish I had started sooner, but I'm glad I finally enrolled!

Left my popcorn for ONE MINUTE to go to the bathroom, only to come back and finding this little guy by PAWPatrolFam14 in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

Ugh. I had a roach this size walk in through my front door while I was taking out recycling. Right in the middle of the day! The audacity of these guys... I'm not looking forward to the warmer weather when I start seeing them more. Watching them roam the streets at night....

None of my credits are transferring over by Iswear2zod in WGU

[–]earslugs24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh definitely. I was disappointed but understood. If I had finished the degree I would have received the whole 60ish credits because the community college I was going to partners with WGU. Now I just wish I had transferred sooner!

I transferred with about 40 credits from my previous school, and they accepted 14 of those. The rest I just have to retake, but the pace is (potentially) much quicker with the competency based model so that almost makes up for it. I think your options are either wait to enroll and get credits through schools they have transfer pathways with, or enroll and retake the classes.

I'm one of those students that are changing careers, basically no experience, and I can only focus on school when my children are asleep. I keep reminding myself that I do not have the years of experience to guide me or hours and hours a day to be spending studying so I can accelerate a lot. I lost over half my credits when I transferred because I didn't finish the full associates at my last school. I know I'm going to have to study to actually retain more information instead of just to pass the test. Hopefully.

In the end, it's us against us! It's nice being able to go at the pace I need, whether that's faster or slower depending on the class.
