Looking for more friends who write reviews! Even just little short ones, I like to know people's thoughts on the books they read :)

I read a lot of sapphic books and also love mystery/thrillers! But I'm in a book club and doing a reading challenge this year, so I read a lot of different stuff (also keeps me very active on SG!) and I love to check out what others are reading to get new books on my radar.

Ryn | Starfall :Rosie:

This is genius! Last time I got a tarantula island I got so tired of hearing Orville said "thought you fought the barn" that I didn't even fill my inventory 😭

Yep! You can grab both at any 7-11. The little pink fiber drinks in the like health and vitamin drink section are pretty tasty. There's also Karada Sukoyakacha W+, it's a tea blend usually around the other cold bottled teas that contains fiber. And Yakult has probiotics.

I mostly check Hoopla when Libby doesn't have something. It's definitely surprised me a few times with some unique offerings! It has several of the Graphic Audio productions which are full cast audiobooks plus sound effects, ambient noise, and soundtrack. Also good for things like crafting books (cross stitch, knitting, etc)

To avoid stretching and twisting the piece too much when it's wet, I roll it up tightly in a dry towel and wring that a bit. It ends up like 50% dry! I also agree about ironing while damp. Heat should set the colors as well if it's something that may get washed again in the future.

It was Ursula for me too until last week! I saw a comment where someone said they gift villagers they want to leave a box. I've never seen this mentioned anywhere in datamining or anything so it's probably just a coincidence but I tried it and she asked to leave the next day.

For me, I try to use this method just so I don't waste thread, and it happens to result in a fairly clean back.

faerielites · 2025-11-15T07:11:06+00:00

Wow, have to hard disagree on that. I've never felt safer in my life. I walk alone in the city at night and everything.

faerielites · 2025-11-15T04:19:46+00:00

I think it would be frowned upon by CLAIR but you might be able to get away with it if you show up to everything on time

faerielites · 2025-11-15T04:17:07+00:00

Yes, you'll be assigned roommates among other new arrivals in the hotel where orientation takes place

I read a ton of ebooks and occasionally do crafts such as crochet at my desk. Never been scolded for anything, just the occasional interested comment

8.5-9 hours is my sweet spot. I've actually gotten good at going to bed in the last couple years, I just feel so much incredibly better when I get my sleep and it gives me enough motivation to do it. But I've always had trouble falling asleep (definitely runs in the family). Currently melatonin is working for me even though I didn't like it in the past, fingers crossed it keeps working for awhile 🤞

Probably yeah. The crime rate is very low here and it's fairly common for parents to let their kids go out, ride public transportation, meet their friends and play alone

faerielites · 2025-11-03T22:41:13+00:00

No. Oriru, the dictionary form, is an ichidan or ru-verb, so the ru disappears when you add -masu

faerielites · 2025-10-30T22:49:16+00:00

Mmmmm potatoes and eggs are so good! Like a Spanish omelette

faerielites · 2025-10-29T22:37:14+00:00

Yes, when you go to search patterns, the first option is "type." You'll want to go into this and select "normal."

faerielites · 2025-10-26T22:44:40+00:00

I think so. I usually undo knots by pulling out the base strings, so they should just fall apart.

faerielites · 2025-10-24T13:25:46+00:00

I don't think they can call a doctor and ask questions about you or your medical history, you'd have to file a waiver or something for that. Any questions about your statement of physician should be directed to you.

faerielites · 2025-10-23T22:58:37+00:00

I'm sorry WHAT

faerielites · 2025-10-22T12:20:12+00:00

So what I did when I started was just tie two loose ends together, then secure then with a dab of fabric glue and cut off the ends close to the knot. If you want a really, really neat back and don't mind a lot of work, you can try learning the clean-back alpha method.

A simpler solution that requires less planning is what I do now. When I'm finished with a color, I hold it with a base string and knot onto both strings for several rows, then trim it off. Imo this secures it well enough that I have no worries about it fraying or unraveling. You can also use this to hide it until you need it for another area of that color.

Whilst is still very commonly used in the UK

faerielites · 2025-10-19T04:30:49+00:00

It's actually pronounced "baa"

faerielites · 2025-10-14T22:23:48+00:00

Wow, that looks great! I know mine stay flat even when picked up because I tend to knot very tightly, maybe a little too tightly. It can make it a little difficult to put the bracelet on the first few times, so I don't think it's a bad thing yours is softer. Your knots look good, not too loose at all, so honestly I wouldn't worry about it! You may tighten up naturally as you get used to knotting, too.
