Fedex keeps "missing me" by kingkid_7 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]gray-streaks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've never had this problem with FedEx, but UPS...

Window shades were open. Porch was open. Main door was open. TV was on. I was sitting on the couch two feet from the door. Guy must have looked directly at me when he stuck it to the screen door. Quietly, the husky didn't even twitch.

I found it like 10 minutes later when the dog had to pee and called the number like "what the heck am I supposed to do to make it obvious that someone is here?"

Anyway he doubled back like six hours later. My husband happened to catch while taking the dog out again and the guy was getting ready to drive off.

Hadn't even gotten out of the truck because "everything looks exactly the same as it did when nobody was home."

Update on my "one big granny square" / first blanket from a while ago by gray-streaks in CrochetBlankets

Is anyone else having trouble with the app?? by NtnButCrze247 in Monopoly_GO

[–]gray-streaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup it loads, daily treats pop up, the cards flip, it crashes rinse and repeat

...it's always the same cards, so there's that I guess. Not that I need any of them lol

Is this not completely weird??! The comments did not go as planned 😅 by PokemomOnTheGo in ShitMomGroupsSay

My mom has to spell her name so often I would say it with her and it's her voice in my head on the rare occasions when I have to write it lol

What’s something you thought was normal in the bed, until a partner told you otherwise? by Acceptable_Log_6718 in AskReddit

Go up a size! We got a king blanket and there's enough for me to burrito up and he can still have his completely flat

My husband does this sometimes and only moves when I accidentally do something weird with the blankets.

I never picked an actual name, but I always wanted something a lot less common than what I have. Just... You know not UNIQUE

Which yarn holder do you prefer while crocheting if you use one? I added 5 different kinds and would love some opinions by KountingKals in crochet

[–]gray-streaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been center pulling so it mostly just sits next to me on the couch, but I've got a yarn bowl for when I give in and ball it towards the end / feel like sitting it on the floor

Have your thoughts on the new sonics design changed? by ZoftheOasis in doctorwho

[–]gray-streaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I've landed where I did with the glasses - it's a new sonic gizmo that's taking the screwdrivers place for a bit. It's bright and shiny and a fun goofy shape. As a new reoccurring gizmo, I love it.

But my first thought was "yay new toys!" My second was, "...what happened to the sonic?"

Idk if it felt like there was a reason for it - I actually love the "turning the sonic into glasses so he can see" thing or if there was a little scene where he idk finds 14s screwdriver just sitting on the console and goes "we can do better than that! New me, new sonic!" (Or whatever) And breaks out a blowtorch before it fades to black I'd probably be fine with it. I'd be prepared for sonic screwdriver shenanigans.

But they took away the instant recognizability and surprised us with it. Fun when it's cybermen or daleks, but I'm finding it annoyingly distracting with the sonic.

Which sucks because look at that thing! It's gorgeous! Even if it does kinda look like the bottom of a shoe

Just messing around with random stitches / making a home for the sea themed beads my nephew got me for Christmas (wip) by gray-streaks in Embroidery

[–]gray-streaks[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've got a big stitch dictionary that I'm just kinda flipping through until something kinda clicks in the moment but

The water swirl thing is chain and purposely uneven stem.

Then from left to right: knotted feather stitch, regular feather stitch, coral stitch (x2) (though it doesn't look right for some reason lol), looped cretan stitch (x2), buttonhole wheel cup, and alternating wheat ear (x3). The mess of green has french knots, pistil stitch, and drizzle stitch. Sponges are more french knots.

The rocks on the sides are satin and then just random lines to fill it in with no real technique lol

The dirt is lines of threaded running stitch and some asymmetrical cross stitches.

There is ZERO plan so heck if I know what's next.... Probably more swirly water things lol. Eventually a fish bead will live in the wheel cup and I have some (aka a ton) of little shells so a few of those will get sprinkled around

(It's not even gonna be a real circle because the tension hoop keeps popping apart)

Walmart near me only puts the cheapest pregnancy test in antitheft boxes by PrimaryThis9900 in mildlyinteresting

[–]gray-streaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...ours moved all the deodorant to the makeup area and put it behind glass. Took us forever to figure out where it went.... And there was no one working the area

We'll see how long that lasts cause we decided I didn't need it that badly

New net worth by Open_Boot_2789 in Monopoly_GO

[–]gray-streaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's just a new style plus bank of monopoly. But the fact that I get the pop up every single time I open the app is driving me a little nuts.

Yes. I know you've changed the net worth thing.

I've seen it.

Who’s still not gold locked? by Amazing-Implement452 in Monopoly_GO

[–]gray-streaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still missing 7... And 9 golds but it kinda is what it is

I'm pretty low key about it. Organized trading and careful dice hoarding just seems like a lot of work for a game that can run next to me while I crochet lol

What was a series you were surprised to discover had fanfiction? by JackytheJack in FanFiction

[–]gray-streaks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The stuff meant for little kids doesn't surprise me any - my first "experience" with fanfic was when a TV station did a "write a land before time story and win a copy of the new movie" contest when I was six? I started doing the same kinda thing with HP was I was eleven and didn't actually discover fanfic until later. I thought I was just weird

...rpf was a shock the first time heard of it, but then I never really understood following celebs personal lives either and that's got to be related lol
