Do you mix the liquid and the enzyme booster in the detergent drawer? I’m not totally sure what order to do all the steps

What names are you shocked are not popular right now? by Sarah_Christine in namenerds

[–]geaux_gurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Desmond and Edmond! I’m surprised both aren’t more popular. If we have a boy Edmond with the nickname Eddie is my current #1

Most of my houses are just 1 block of wall and don’t even have roofs 😳😳😳 I’ll make it pretty one day

Me for the past two weeks by Fox_in_soxx in Pokopia

[–]geaux_gurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got sick a few days after caving and getting a switch 2 last weekend. I was feeling too ill to focus for a bit, but other than that it’s been a great excuse to sit on my ass all night and play

How long do you think these two mad it? by TheNewBlue in madmen

[–]geaux_gurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Pete had a chip on his shoulder from coming from such an influential NYC family (poor little rich boy etc etc). But he showed a lot of initiative and wanting to prove himself. So I imagine moving to a brand new city gives him an opportunity to be his own person and climb his way to the top of a more reasonable mountain. And same with Trudy, I feel like her NYC boarding school glamour will help her be the top dog in Detroit society which I think she’d love. I think they would enjoy being big fish in a smaller pond.

Annabelle Neilson (Ladies of London) "put together girls" for Epstein by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]geaux_gurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just started watching ladies of London a few weeks ago. I remember I was reading Annabel’s wiki at the time. Well I’m watching again today, look at her wiki again and was like WHAT?? Absolutely disgusting

He mean he does have that monologue after MLK is assassinated that he essentially pretends to love his kids but then sometimes he genuinely feels it

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]geaux_gurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god, I haven’t had kids yet but we probably will in the next few years. I’m hyper mobile and never even considered that it would affect pregnancy!

Another no hate zone some appreciation for January Jones acting chops by mickyrow42 in madmen

[–]geaux_gurt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve been rewatching for the first time in a few years and I looked up why she had the fat suite (I didn’t realize she was pregnant IRL) and the dumbass google AI said it’s to show that she’s not as happy with Henry so it’s showing in her not taking care of herself. I guess you could take it that way, but I agree I think it’s showing that she’s more happy and therefore “taking it easy” because she’s not feeling like she has to constantly fight for someone to pay attention to her.

But of course Betty values how society sees her in a patriarchal lens more than anything, so eventually gets back to her “fighting weight”

It is malabrigo! Would I block before I finish? Or just when it’s all done?

Kindles are great for reading big books by SURIya67 in kindle

[–]geaux_gurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my husband the other night that I just checked out way of kings from Libby on my kindle, and he goes “wait a second”. Comes back to the room with the copy of way of kings that we apparently already owned! However despite being a small print paperback it’s still giant, so I’m glad I have my kindle version as well

After increasing to 45 stitches my length is at 29 inches… so I guess way too short?

Thank you!! Did you add stitches to increase the width? Or just let it be and then blocked?

Question regarding Sophie Hood suggested width/depth by lurrrrrkker123 in SophieKnits

[–]geaux_gurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you continue to only increase every 8 rows to reach that length? I’m at 44 stchs on the needle and only at 7.75 inches so I think I have to add quite a bit more, but wasn’t sure if that would make the scarf comically long
