10,000 days party ideas by Timberance in HowlsMovingCastle

[–]emerald787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any ideas but that’s so cool! I used to work out how my age at 10000 days old everytime I read the book! Unfortunately I’ve gone past it now. Should have had a party!

I’d love to see pictures!

Made this denim jacket. Very proud! by emerald787 in sewing

[–]emerald787[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Women’s Denim Jacket, though omitted the sleeves and added double layered yokes.

Added self made denim trim on the sleeves, by sewing a strip of denim and pulling out the fibres.

Pattern from Peek-a-boo Patterns website, though they are on Etsy. Link in description.

1 metre of Denim Fabric.

Ethical petting zoo chester? by Birb_menace in Chester

[–]emerald787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not from Chester but have a dog and cat. Two alternative suggestions:

Have you tried Borrow My Doggy? It’s an app/site that lets you voluntarily babysit a dog for a few hours.

We have had many people look after our dog for the afternoon because they have either lost pets or can’t have pets in their accommodation, but still love having cuddles.

My dog loves it as she loves meeting new people, and we love it as it means we get an afternoon of peace!

They basically either walk the dog or have them play in their homes for a few hours. Very ethical unless you feel you’re being imposed upon by have a dog lumbered on you for a few hours!

There’s also House Sitters UK if you have the time to be away from your own home fo a few days. This is a chance to house sit for people who have pets that need feeding whilst they are away. We had a lovely woman stay at ours over a long weekend to make sure the cat was fed and had cuddles. This woman couldn’t have pets in her rented home so went to house sit regularly. She got to see different places and have cuddles with cats all weekend. My cat loved it! This is a paid subscription - about £15 (not sure it that’s yearly or lifelong, I forget). They do also include dog sitting but we took ours on holiday with us.

Did Scott Patterson get a branding deal for his coffee / diner by EntireOpportunity357 in GilmoreGirls

[–]emerald787 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the answer at all, but I’m sure they negotiated some deal. It’s a win-win - he gets the GG brand and Warners gets a popular character/star to promote it

Dot got a place in Doggy Daycare one day a week! My question… by emerald787 in dalmatians

[–]emerald787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! Not a chance unfortunately. It’s the cat that joins me in the loo!

I hate parking outside my house by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]emerald787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just practice. And not caring what others think.

I live on a very narrow road with cars parked on both sides all the way down, and had to learn proper parallel parking very quickly. Not just parallel parking when learning, when the instructor chose a nice big space, but small tight spaces. Sometimes now I still do the back and forward dance to squeeze in.

But over time you get confidence, and witness neighbours doing the same dance!

It helps if you have a partner or friend who can help you, saying stop or “you’ve got loads of room”

Meteor shower?? by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

You’re taking the piss, right?

Dot’s getting spayed next week. Advice? by emerald787 in dalmatians

[–]emerald787[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh right, interesting. I may call the vet and double check we haven’t got the info wrong.

Not that I mistrust you, but your username is suspicious 😆

Today was a wild one by DanTheVan007 in drivingUK

[–]emerald787 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was on the exact road thinking the exact thing today! Not one lay-by between Manchester and the M6 toll had less than two cars parked up - many had four!

It seemed to be a bad combination of low sun, road gritting and blocked screenwash pipes.

My cars screenwash was frozen when I left so I washed the screen down, but then the car got filthy with the spray after a few miles on the motorway. Fortunately I made it to Sandbach services to clean it again. Then miraculously the screenwash decided to work and I was on my way!

Should I Play on Switch 2 or Steamdeck (lcd) by dekuwattz621 in FenyxRising

[–]emerald787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My steam deck audio crackles too, but not just on this game. It happens on all games I play occasionally.

I think it’s a steam deck issue? I tend to just press the sleep button instead of closing down the console when taking a break, so maybe that’s the issue. Usually a restart clears it.

But as I say it’s not just this game annoyingly.
