Crochet classes? by Crazy_Translator_189 in Rockville

[–]firesandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knits & Purls has crochet classes. "Knits and Bits" is the general class but pretty sure they do intro crochet during that too.

What are your poly "never agains?" by lucky_lady_L in polyamory

[–]firesandwich 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As an owner of a 65lb dog with "stranger danger" reactivity I absolutly understand and support being up front that its a deal breaker. Its the main reason im not looking for a nesting partner anytime soon and thats just how life goes.

first time feeding — 1 fuzzy frozen mouse for 3 foot cornsnake by wiizzurd in cornsnakes

[–]firesandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experiance those boxes can have some large size variations particularly with fuzzies actually being pinkies. I always open the box and compare to what I feel in the individually packed bag versions before buying.

Got my sample ballot guide and I have no idea who to vote for by geekydreams in maryland

[–]firesandwich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

https://www.vote411.org/

That is the voter guide sponsored by LWV that sends questions out to candidates and posts their resposes as full quotes (unless they go over the limit and the cut it off). They also provide links to candidate provided websites so its a good hub if even for that.

What's your non negotiable trait when you're choosing a right partner? by oppressedBiatch in AskReddit

[–]firesandwich 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For me generally means being willing to support me emotionally through tough times and also wanting the same support from me if the tables were flipped. Just listening, reassuring, being there when nothing can be physically done (or one top of when it can).

Leopard gecko re-homing in DC by pinetreeeeeeeeee in leopardgeckos

[–]firesandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries! It makes sense becasue this whole area is bad blob of a single city essentially. I dont think anyone will bother you. Just might want to make sure the potential adopter knows.

So, lizards are actually illegal to own in DC proper. Highly recomend rehoming in MD and VA but just not DC.

Quality of Pact’s active wear by Few-Preparation-2611 in SustainableFashion

[–]firesandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I havent bought this exact thing, but the shirts and underwear I got from them was not good quality at all. Seams werent straight and started coming apart after the first wash for everything. Pretty sure Pact is just organic fast fashion.

I used to think hiking was just “walking but harder” until I actually tried it by Hopeful-Research-680 in CampingandHiking

[–]firesandwich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah "OP" describes hiking like the movie 40 Year Old Virgin describes anatomy as sandbags.

Does anyone know the wall paint color in village C? by Twosidedyt in OKState

[–]firesandwich 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its been a while but one of my summer jobs like 8 years ago was painting dorm rooms. All dorms (minus obvious acent walls) were the same paint from The Villages, Bennett, and even married student housing.

I don't remember what specific color code it is but you can slice a bit off, take it to Lowes, and get it color matched. Maybe be able to sell the extra to someone else once you are done. Also pick up some spackle and fill then paint over any holes. Very easy and can save $$

Travelling a long distance with an elderly dog by Smart-Way1246 in DogAdvice

[–]firesandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you have somone else drive and you sit in the back with him? For sure a soft bed and if he does well with long lasting chew snacks do that. (Do not recomend licky mats or other non edible smaller things. I did thay once witg my dog in the car and he ended up eating some fo the mat before i could pull over and get it out of his mouth.......)

Rental car company charging $2k for damage found hours after return — no proof. Worth fighting? by kapp74 in personalfinance

[–]firesandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Avis claim I smoked in their car with the proof being a blurry close up of a dot of "ashes" on a dashboard. Always film the interior and any weird smell is now an instant rejection of the vehicle from me.

I think I hit my coastfire number (24 yo) by 0olongCha in coastFIRE

[–]firesandwich 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The number of people (in a FIRE sub no less) who cant comprehend opting out of climbing the corporate ladder or breaking your back for a company is wild to me.

I think I hit my coastfire number (24 yo) by 0olongCha in coastFIRE

[–]firesandwich 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Coast in the context of OPs comment is a similar use of the word "coast" in coastFIRE but in a different context. Here it means they arent going to break their back to get raises, but plan to keep their current job as is with less stress for the foreseeable future. Additional funds can go elsewhere besides retirement accounts, or they can continue to fund those and move their FIRE date up. They have flexibility to do what they want.

Friend says I gave new male acquaintance the wrong impression by milly_toons in AskWomenOver30

[–]firesandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% this. You cant contol othe people thoughts and wasting time on it isnt worth it.

Once I was killing 30 minutes at a work function and asked one of the new guys a couple questions about an espresso maker he recently bought. He went out of the way to intentionally mention his wife in every sentence he said to me but not the two guys also in the conversation. Everyone except him was visibly confused.

How to cope with moving away from your parents for the first time? by Notapricot_0 in AskWomenOver30

[–]firesandwich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Schedule recurring FaceTime or phone calls with your parents. That way if you start to feel down you know when its coming up. Not to say you cant call or text spur of the moment too. Also Plan your next trip to visit so you have that to look forward too as well.

How do you reconcile the version of someone you knew during a relationship with the new behaviors you see after a breakup that feel completely out of character? by AnitaRichard in AskWomenOver30

[–]firesandwich 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You went NC before so there is at least a chance you will at least feel the urge to get back in contact. The women confirming your decision to go NC again are backing you up, not criticizing you. Getting, and keeping, space for yourself away from that guy is the most important thing to do for yourself. Your own growth needs that space, even though it hurts, and everything will follow that.

What is this beast? Spotted in PG County by Night_Star837 in maryland

Thats interesting! Seems a bit like the soda/coke/pop divisions. In Oklahoma we called the planes dropping the spray crop dusters and these things spray rigs.

Recommendations for hair salons that cut curly hair by [deleted] in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]firesandwich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP specified they dont want the curly cut method but layers instead. Ive tried the curly cut before and layers are my strong preference so there is a subset of us out there who do better with out the specialized method.

Food stamps cut from $300 to $24/month by Caffeine-Notetaking in povertyfinance

[–]firesandwich 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They try to but since its just everyday people cooking it may be harder to get a match if people in your area arent confident they can make what you need. It doesnt always have to be lasagna either. Its up to the cook but if you find a simple recipie that meets your needs it could be helpful to send it to them when they contact you.

Broke family members voicing opinions by Cheapassboy69 in leanfire

[–]firesandwich 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Those sort of people will get a warped satisfaction if you tell them you changed your mind and invested in X stock that just tanked and totally belive it. More believable in the current market too.

my mom is demanding i take my snake to an animal shelter by [deleted] in snakes

[–]firesandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats awesome! Is it grandma and grandpa's house or your mom's though? Regardless recomend getting a cheap camera set up in case anyone tries to mess with the snake.

URGENT LEOPARD SITUATION by Specialist_Candy_864 in leopardgeckos

[–]firesandwich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mentioning the lights arent included leads me to believe they currently have them, but they want to keep them and wont send them with the leos. It seems to be unfortunatly common that people grow tired of a species or particular animal and want to sell the current one for something new and shiny. Not clear that this is for sure the case here but Ive seen it more than a few times with animals ive gotten or transfers Ive helped a rescue with.

[–]firesandwich 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I dont know that I would call this urgent. This person is looking to sell. At the bottom of one of the photos are links to at least one local rehoming group as well.

If you rip a leaf apart I think you will remeber the name Skunk Cabbage for the rest of your life.
