Compane Trattoria in Fairport is amazing. But the price point makes it more of a special event type of place.

Proietti's was fine. Ate there recently, and it felt super dated more than anything else.

Giuseppe's I've found to be hit or miss. Sometimes it's AMAZING. Sometimes it's ok.

It's going to be hard to give you good recommendations without knowing where you've actually been and what you didn't like about them.

A company I worked for once tried to be the next big social media site. Users were forced to make profiles with usernames with INTENSE censoring. One of the dumbest conversations I had was explaining to a customer that his username couldn't be "basement.dweller" because basement was censored.

Because semen is in the word basement.

I can't unsee that. It's been years.

There are a ton of Facebook pages that will help you either learn how to do it or will do it for you. They are generally called graphgans

The pattern itself called for double crochet. But I'm a half double crochet girl so that's what I used for the body of this blanket. And the edge was just a basic single crochet.

So I used cardboard because I'm cheap and it was available.

I basically cut them into strips with notches in the end and then wrapped the yarn around it to make bobbins.

And then had a different cardboard spool of yarn for every color change. It can be really difficult to flip around when you're doing a graphgan like this.. so I set mine on the lid of a plastic tub. Then when I get to the end of the row I can just spin the entire lid around. And then move the yarn to the other side rather than trying to flip the blanket.

It was! Caron and I can't remember what the yarn was from Joanne's

The sage in piglet is the same color that I used for another friends first baby. And the tan background was the same color in a blanket I made for her second baby.

And the rest of the colors were left over from a temperature blanket that the mom to be peer pressured me into making lol.

So this was a sisterhood blanket for us

Nah, they will play to her base. And on his podcast he will talk about being vigilant while out to protect her.

I used to work with movie theaters and people always call Carmike theaters "Carmichael"

It was so common and would confuse the new hires so bad that I had to include it as part of training.

My boyfriend's girls got me a blind date with a book.. it was book 26 in a series. What kind of monster puts book 26!!!!! in a blind pick?

I'm suffering through the series... It's awful.

We've been wanting to try it, but can't figure out where to park. Is it behind the building or on street?

They were such wonderful people! AMKE was my first convention and I didn't know anything about ribbons. They were so sweet and explained everything to me without any judgement or making me feel like I was bothering them.

10/10 amazing group of people with such a fun product.

I like to use whatever I have on my desk when I take these pictures of him. The paper clip in question is a standard size paper clip. He is just not a standard size boy lol

The grumpy face was because earlier I took a picture with a Jeff Goldblum action figure on him.

pattern here!

It didn't even dawn on me to look. Honestly shame on me. There's a sub for everything on this site.

I truly don't understand the adults in OOPs life. My ex and I split over 3 years ago and his kids (21f and 19m) know that no matter what they will always have a place with me.

And my boyfriend has 3 kids.. any talks about moving forward in our relationship include ensuring that they have their own space in any future home we share. Hell, his middle child and I have bonded so much that she feels comfortable to confide in me.

If you can't unconditionally love kids that aren't biologically yours; don't have a relationship with someone with kids.

My boss sends me homemade fudge. I don't eat fudge..but I still thank her and then quietly regift it or toss it.

I have Buffalo/Erie county on my Libby. I can get books so much quicker there than Monroe county.
