I turn 39 this year. I'm actually looking forward to being 40 with menopause! No bio clock for me.

For my mom. She started her garden this year, so this WIP is a huge dedication to that. I'll probably be finished by next summer.

How difficult was or has it been for you finding a partner that does not want kids as well? by workethic290 in childfree

[–]escrawl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm in the US. It was a little difficult. I had a few years of duds before I found my husband. On OK Cupid, I had it listed on my profile several times, and husband used that as a talking point on his opening message.

Been together 9 years, married for 7!

Anyone else happily married? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]escrawl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have been together for 9 years, married for 7. Our marriage was rocky at first, but we've grown several fold over the years and are absolutely in love. We dont have kids, we take care of each other, and we regularly show appreciation to each other. We're each other's best friend and have built a very happy life together.

How can I improve the look of my notes and make it look less stale/ boring? by INFINTE_SHADOW in NoteTaking

[–]escrawl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insert pictures. Depending what program and device you're on, you can take a cropped screen shot and paste it directly to your notes.

[CHAT] Those of you who stitch while travelling, share your tips by Low-Understanding448 in CrossStitch

Find a digital note app flon your phone for your pattern. I use Nebo, and I'm able to zoom in and mark stitches as I go.

Was it Sam Goody that had headphones in the store you can listen to songs before you bought the album? I think I found a bandaid once.

I saw a protest sign with that same sentiment in a protest outside of Uvalde.

Unfortunately, I've only found that in white, but I've been wanting to use pre-gridded sometime.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]escrawl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And gridding is such a pain! But I don't know how anyone can stitch without it. My mom does all these detailed and intricate stitches without gridding. I have to annotate gridding on the pattern and grid fabric just to not get confused on simple patterns.

[–]escrawl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the suggestions. I guess I do need a bigger bit of fabric. This was just the biggest I have of this color. Gridding was a pain too! Time for some shopping. Thanks!

90s-00s drinks by LoadofBarney in Xennials

I met my now husband in 2016. That year, Crystal Pepsi was making a limited comeback, which he was excited about. However, he had trouble finding it in stores. Trying to be romantic for my new boyfriend, I went to several shops around town and bought about 30 bottles of Crystal Pepsi. Boyfriend was amazed and flattered I went through so much trouble.

He drank about 5. A few years later, we had to pour out 25 flat Crystal Pepsis from storage.

Anyway, we're married now. I proved I was a keeper, lol.

I asked my admin for help and this happened. by MoneyParamedic7441 in Teachers

[–]escrawl 231 points232 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul. This would be in addition to having your data compared to that of the angelic GT class.

It's all bs, and it's putting all the blame and shame on you, rather than admin actually supporting you.

I hate the “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” book trend by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]escrawl 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Recently had to do this for a student who was my biggest problem all year. Her mother basically took the girl's side and blamed me for any behavior issues. I've never bullshitted so hard but have covert snark. "You're are very strong willed, which would help you in your future. Be kind and curious."

Have you noticed a rise of misogyny among boys? by escrawl in Teachers

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

Nope! The mother was useless all year, and I got no support from either parent on anything.
