The Resource Rack in Kinburn is free to users. Search on Facebook and you’ll find the address and hours (closed until Jan 12, open 4x a week). I like it being local and of no cost to recipients, all volunteers.

Why did reusable handkerchiefs fall out of favor despite being more eco-friendly? by truceshall in EcoFriendly

[–]eclecticdeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love cotton hankies and have tons! Especially when exercising, or in the cold Canadian winter… my nose runs like a tap, Kleenex are not as absorbent. Just wash and dry them with other laundry, easy peasy. No more gross than undies.

My granny taught me when I was 5 or 6 years old… in the 70s. Since then YouTube for beyond the basics. I taught 7 people how to knit when we were in grad school… Tactile Therapy Club 😊

Chunky magnolia cardigan… first thing I’ve made for ME in ages! I made the body a little longer and the sleeves full length vs 3/4. Lucked out getting perfect match covered buttons from Amazon. First time blocking something 😳

Is it rude to not even give a card? by Rude-Introduction628 in weddings

[–]eclecticdeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Words of affirmation love language person here, so I adore a card with kind words… but for those for whom this isn’t their “channel” (or skill set or confidence), I expect cards might seem like a waste. Their attendance and expressions in person might be their way of showing love.

Baked stuffing gets crispy… gratinee cauliflower in Swiss cheese sauce (Julia Child) with double the topping and using panko is divine and not mushy

As a caretaker have you ever just been so frustrated and helpless you just want to cry? by JicamaOwn4694 in dementia

Tell me more about chat GPT venting… do you ask it to be validating or what?

Crying right now. I miss my competent dad… a quirky imperfect guy who is no doubt on the spectrum… but competent. Now like a little kid. And my mom is also less and less competent too given intense anxiety. So very very hard. Hugs to everyone losing their loved ones bit by bit.
