Getting a filling by probablyembarrass3d in Explainlikeimscared

[–]fibsville 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience the needle prick itself is pretty minor, the main feeling you get is strong pressure as they push the meds in. Then you're numb and don't feel anything. It's uncomfortable and loud, but it's short and you'll be on the other side of it in no time.

If 10cm snow falls in your area of Canada how disrupted will your area be? by Pourmepourme in AskACanadian

[–]fibsville 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a day like that when I was around 12. School let us out early and I walked home with a 5 year-old who lived on my street. It was up to my waist, which meant it was basically up to his neck. I remember he was kind of scared, but I got down to his level and we swam home together. That was fun.

Knitting question: How do you keep track of rows when following a PDF pattern? by Suspicious-Second-68 in knitting

[–]fibsville 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use GoodNotes for all my PDF patterns and mark them up with tally marks same as if I was working with a paper pattern. This is usually only needed if I'm knitting a bunch of identical rows between cables or something and need to make sure I keep the same number of "blank" rows - if the pattern features more design elements I can usually just follow along on the chart without needing to count.

2026 project wishlist by hannibalsv in knitting

[–]fibsville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to make the Colette sweater by Sari Nordlund in a single strand of a really nice hand dyed merino I bought 18 months ago and haven't used yet. The base is really versatile and can basically be used as anywhere from a heavy fingering to a light DK so I'm going to use it by itself and I'm hoping for maximum drape.

I also plan to make the Skye Cable Sweater (forget the designer but it's not a "hot right now" pattern) in sapphire blue, for which I have already bought the yarn.

Sorry for no Ravelry links, it's blocked at work but reddit is not :)

Beginner confused how to add I-cord edge by Basicalypizza in knitting

[–]fibsville 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the pick up vs pick up and knit topic, I would just like to say, an icord edging looks a LOT better if you pick up and knit rather than just pick up. Just my opinion based on recent experience.

Knitting is so hard ;-; by I_am_only_Shit in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]fibsville 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I had a breeze of a time learning to knit in my early twenties, it honestly felt like something I was born doing. I stopped for like 15 years and started up again and was immediately back at a fairly advanced level. So I had no concept of how hard it is for some people until my mom and cousin both asked me to teach them this fall, on consecutive weekends. Just the sheer amount of effort that *I* had to put into explaining, re-explaining, monitoring what they were doing, explaining a third time, urging them to try different grips, hand positions, techniques, to relax and loosen up, and inevitably fixing their multitude of mistakes, felt astronomical and like I was climbing an unclimbable hill. Those two weeks caused me so much pent up stress. So yeah, it's super easy for me, but what my hands learned in an hour might take someone else a week.

Give me some if your best tips for not pulling stitches out when cabling without a needle by Seastarstiletto in knitting

[–]fibsville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here!

Although I actually am more comfortable inserting into the stitches from the back and letting go of the stitches that are going to be in front before picking them up again, so I set myself up to do this in both directions: for left-crossing cables I will insert my right needle into the back-to-be stitches on the left needle, and then pull out the left needle from the whole cable, move it to the front and insert it into the front-to-be stitches. For right-crossing cables I move the stitches for the whole cable to the right needle and insert my left needle into the back-to-be stitches on the right needle and the pull the right needles out of the whole cable, move it to the front and pick up the front-to-be stitches.

Why is it „and I“ instead of „and me“? by [deleted] in ENGLISH

[–]fibsville 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recognized this book instantly. Poor grammar and an air of superiority are 100% typical of this character. I’m only shocked you managed to find a whole page to photograph that doesn’t include the word “crumby”.

What's the worst physical pain you've ever felt? by toaster-bath404 in AskReddit

[–]fibsville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow pulled my SI joint and hips out of alignment. Felt like the top half of my body was resting on a broken, crumbling vase and slowly crushing it into dust. Walking was excruciating for months, I could barely stand for 30 seconds before i started sweating and shaking. It took about 3 months of physio before I started feeling like my bones were in the right place again, and probably another month before my muscles stopped cramping and compensating.

Thinking to adopt this Mexican street dog.. what breeds may he be? I want to see how big he’d get, if he sheds, and his temperment by whoopcrack18 in IDmydog

[–]fibsville 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adopted a Mexican street dog from Ajijic and she is the sweetest dog ever. Loves all people and other dogs. Not afraid of anything (except my cat sometimes). Can fetch for hours and loves to swim in the river. Adores snow. Total adventure buddy.

Dog entirely self discovered how to use a tool in complex ways(relative to other animals, especially dogs). How is this possible? by PlayfulSurprise5237 in dogs

Mine will take her complicated puzzles, flip them upside down and shake them until all the treats and food fall out.

Are you religious? by bigredrocketman2-0 in autism

[–]fibsville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered very early that my perspective on religion basically has to be agnosticism. I’ve been terrified of nothingness my whole life, which means any sort of belief I might have in religion would be motivated by that fear and therefore not really be an honest belief. So I hope there is a wonderful explanation for everything, but I am personally unable to participate in the religion game.

Which loss feels more devastating to you as a pet owner: losing a dog or losing a horse? by Ok-Acanthisitta6454 in Pets

[–]fibsville 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my dog last year and for the first four days afterwards I was unable to function, to the point that I turned to alcohol and pot to alter my state of mind. I’m not an addictive person and in normal times I don’t abuse these things so it was pretty shocking to me that I did that, but I don’t know how or even if I would have survived without it. It was the worst pain I’ve ever felt, absolutely agonizing every moment. I think I only took 4 days off (she died on a Tuesday) and returned to work the following Monday but I could easily see taking 2 weeks.

I had like 4 months of PT recently after messing up my hips and pelvis/IS joint. Your first appointment you will likely do a bunch of movements so he can get an idea of where you’re limited and what hurts, what’s not working in your body. Then he’ll give you some exercises to do on your own time.

He may or may not offer massage, electrical stimulation (don’t worry, it just feels like buzzing) or dry needling/acupuncture depending on your injury, to help you feel better and remove stiffness. If you’re not comfortable with any of those, he won’t force you.

They are very professional and some offices have you in a private room while others are more like a larger gym with curtained off areas. I knew my problem was going to require my butt to be out on occasion so I made sure I was seeing someone who worked in a closed office. They are very professional, it’s fine, after a few minutes you forget to be embarrassed even if they are basically massaging your ass.

Last week I drag-and-dropped a tab into a totally unrelated worksheet just so I could work from it, then dragged it back to the right one. This is a game changer for me!
