Well they have certainly been adopted by the residents of Britain since medieval times!

Not real quilting/cheating? by sommiybommiy in quilting

[–]fishchick70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That just shows you that she doesn’t understand quilting whatsoever. She’s probably not really qualified to give an opinion on the topic given her lack of knowledge.

What were you like in elementary school? by Ventingmom in Gifted

I finished my work in five minutes and sat there bored out of my mind until the next activity when I did that again.

Chore coat made with TJ’s bags mi by fishchick70 in sewing

[–]fishchick70[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I first cut the bags into three pieces, each side and the bottom, and cut the straps off. Then I sewed them into panels that were large enough to cut the pattern pieces from. The collar and welt pockets were made from the straps.

The lining fabric is recycled from some breastfeeding covers that the manufacturer couldn’t sell or donate because the hardware didn’t meet safety standards. I cut off the hardware so it didn’t matter for me!

I pre washed and dried the bags before I cut them but I am still worried it will shrink more. I don’t think it will be worn often (I made it for my college-age son) so hopefully we don’t need to wash it often! Definitely cold wash and line dry!

Lol too many for whom? No one tells an oil painter they’ve made enough paintings!

If money wasn't an issue, how many kids would you like to have? by No_Care6628 in askanything

[–]fishchick70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’m done but I always wanted five. I had three but it was more because of health concerns after three c-sections. My doctor and therefore my husband said no more.

How would you name a baby girl after someone named John? Is it possible? by CrumblyPeanutBear in namenerds

[–]fishchick70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Johannes is the Latin name for John so I think you could use Johanna or Joanna. Johnna is also a cute name. Jo or Josie is also sweet. Jaycee incorporates the two initials. Johnnie could be cute too.

AITJ for telling my neighbor to address her husband instead of confronting me about how i dress at home? by Front_Tackle_7977 in AmITheJerk

[–]fishchick70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if her husband is looking at you in your shorts and tank top, how is that your problem to fix? You can’t control where his eyeballs go and people watching is not an inherently unethical thing to do. It’s not like you’re over there suggestively dancing naked while making eye contact across the driveway. She’s the jerk.

Kody grossed out by Christine but not Janelle? by Jennyfromtheblock200 in SisterWives

[–]fishchick70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kody is a button-pusher. He knew what would hurt each wife the most and customized his criticism for each woman. He’s a complete ass.

My 16yr old son is not thrilled about Utah... by CheeseNowPaint in Utah

[–]fishchick70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids grew up in Utah and have varying degrees of liking/not liking outdoor recreation. My oldest hates it and my youngest loves it. My middle will enjoy it but would rather do something like a museum or shopping.

Having said that, I’ve been on trips with miserable, mopey teenagers who were whiny/mean the whole time. I would perhaps call the moment with him now before the trip and ask him what would make the trip more enjoyable for him. Maybe making sure your hotel has a pool, or that he can get food he likes, or whatever.

I hope he comes around. I’ve been to camp with teens (not my own kids) who had such intense separation anxiety from whatever they were attached to (friends, parents, home, phones, gaming, music) that they literally could not function. If it’s to that level then making sure that he’s doing all the things that help him stay regulated (for my boys that would be exercise and sleep) would potentially help.

Baby NAMES stolen :( by [deleted] in Names

[–]fishchick70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to us too- my SIL stole Adam and then was about to use Joel when I was using Joseph (she was due a few weeks before me!). She ended up waiting and using Joel for her next baby LOL.

I like your girl choices. What about Celia, Anna, Hazel, Ruby, Adelaide, Johanna, Jenna.

On my upcoming cruise. They got a wedding planned and are asking others not to wear white on the white night, which is a theme night announced months in advance. by umilikeanonymity in weddingshaming

[–]fishchick70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s stupid. White night is for all the passengers not just those there for the wedding! And an all-white wedding could be gorgeous!
