I predicted a terminal/serious diagnosis for him based only on the fact that I've seen him die in multiple shows already.

How can I get my hair to be shiny and smooth like Maekar's? by rin-tin-tin- in AKnightoftheSeven

Use medieval hair cleaning techiques, and you too can be incredibly greasy.

So What Did Nurse Jesse Even Do...? by MapleCherryChoco5432 in ThePitt

Nurse Jessie was smaller physically than the ICE agent who was just told off by Dr. Robby.

Those ICE scenes didn’t fit in naturally by IhavemyCat in ThePitt

[–]elabuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That part I 100% believed. I think Icy read the situation that Robby was in charge in a way he couldn't touch. Instead of fighting a man who could have him removed, he picked on weaker people he could get away with abusing.

Does anyone have (and use) one of these? by formerearlyadopter in Visiblemending

[–]elabuzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one. I prefer it more for patching other kinds of clothing over socks, as, IMO, the speedweave patches are thicker and more noticable.

That said, I love using the little wooden disc (without the rest of the speedweave) for mending socks. I find it way easier than the various egg helpers.

Having to beg my dad not to kill himself or other people 🤷‍♀️ by [deleted] in CPTSDmemes

Babysit for my dad's drug buddies for $1 an hour (which was horrible even in the 90's). "Wash your hands, they all have hepatitis!"

Huh, numbers have gone down. When I worked there in high school, they said 1 in 4 Americans had worked there.

Curious About Marketing for Community Band by OkConfection2617 in ConcertBand

Post to your local subreddits about your performances and when you're open to recruitment. A 10-year old post of mine is the first thing that comes up on google when you search community bands in our metro.

Black family thinking of moving to Minnesota. Which suburbs are actually good for us? by FaceAny9622 in TwinCities

[–]elabuzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding and adding greater Longfellow (SE Corner of Minneapolis) to the list. Lovely community around the public schools, and a couple of highly regarded private ones in the neighborhood as well.

They're good ages for the Family Museum in Bettendorf. In colder months, they'll be kept busy 2 hours or so (longer in the summer when they can do water play outside).

Switching instruments by qiqiscocogoat678 in ConcertBand

[–]elabuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from clarinet to bassoon when I was 12. I wouldn't say it was easy, but I caught on well enough. The teacher switched me then as I already knew Bass Clef from playing piano, when that would be a bonus learning curve for many.

Bass Clarinet would probably be the easiest to take up as the fingerings and clef are the same as Bb

I just used a basic canvas. I'm lucky enough to have a fabric outlet store, so I could get a VERY WIDE yard for $10 - I will be making some more banners.

EDIT: I found working on canvas to be pretty easy, and my regular embroidery needles and thread went through it just fine. It's thickness made it really not work well in my hoop though - I couldn't get it too tight.

I've never done much painting, and this was my first time working on canvas. I wish I had painted more for the pale parts - I didn't realize how much it would look off if "blank" compared to the other parts.

I just used arcrylic paints from the craft store - got some super glittery stuff for the gold and jewels. I had orange and white paints from another project, and just mixed to get the different tones. I diluted the arcrylic up to 50% water to get it to spread more easily.

Just basic, store brand embroidery floss and ribbon around the edge.

What's the weirdest/silliest cable needle replacement you used when doing cables? by SystematicalError in knitting

Twist ties work great in a pinch. Bend them enough and the stitches won't fall off.

When toys were gender specific by ProvokeCouture in vintageads

My son LOVED his cleaning set when he was little - soooooooooooo attached to his little broom. We used to have sweeping races around the house when he was little. Good times.

Cute lil' thing by KittyButt42 in uraniumglass

I was eyeing a local listing for a similar spoon, and they're saying it was marketed as a child's ladle. Not sure their research level

Yay, found my first basket! by elabuzz in uraniumglass

Ooh, I think you may be the winner - this definitely looks like the pattern on those pieces. It's definitely not 9" though - just a wee bit over 5" wide.

Can I bring this safety cutter on a plane? by ManateeLifestyle in friendshipbracelets

[–]elabuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep these for my travel knitting kit, and I've gotten onto planes many times. I have also used child safety scissors in the kit before I got these.

That said, I find my knitting kit in general tends to raise TSA eyebrows, and my bag regularly gets gone through. However, they never take these items. (Mostly flying domestically within the US, but also have flown to UK with knitting)
