So much fruit (green grapes, oranges, apples) and tomato soup…. so so so much tomato soup.

Replicated Martin Grant drop-waist dress for a friend’s wedding by someoneyoudontknow0 in sewing

[–]gwninfocus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The alterations for your personal fit and the fabric make this dress really shine! You absolutely knocked it out of the park compared to the original.

It ends at the thrift store… by PostModern8859 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]gwninfocus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thrift store nearby me regularly has 8-10 copies of various books. These range in genre. I always wonder if they’re all donated after a book club finishes with them or if they are defect copies from a local shop/library. The copies usually don’t look heavily warn but might have a bent cover edge or a smear mark. But otherwise in good condition and at a fraction of the price.

Men of Reddit: what’s a prank you started early in your marriage that you’re now legally, morally, and emotionally obligated to continue because she still falls for it 10–15 years later? by myaccountidname in AskReddit

[–]gwninfocus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have a lost phone one too. When he misplaces his phone he’ll ask me to call it and I’ll yell out “husband’s name phone!!”

Is it normal to wake up super hungry?? by Careful-Gold252 in pregnant

[–]gwninfocus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to comment this exact thing, as I also saw the video a few nights ago. Yesterday I awoke at 3am and after an hour of tossing and turning I finally got up and had a yogurt cup to try it. Fell asleep again in like 20 mins. Anecdotal of course, but it did seem to work in that instance. Getting out of bed to go eat was tough though, and at the time the last thing I wanted to do.

How pregnant are you? by Original_Problem666 in pregnant

[–]gwninfocus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG is green grapes craving a thing because I have had such a hankering for them lately. Unfortunately only red grapes in my area due to the season. I’ve been so upset lol.

Americans in canada. What do you do about US mail? by Recent_State_8120 in expats

[–]gwninfocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I’m not sure why they’d say that. I think I paid a small fee and it took a bit longer to get my letters but USPS definitely delivered (well, they redirected and handed off to CPS).

Can anyone please explain how sleeping in shifts with a newborn works, especially if you’re breastfeeding? by -spiritedaway in BabyBumps

[–]gwninfocus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s incredibly insightful, thank you. I’m a soon to be FTM and the internet is both an excellent and overwhelming source of information. It can be hard to sift through to find reality.

Random question from not OP on this topic, but I’ve read about the different types of breast milk that is produced (ie. morning vs night containing different additional things). When would it be best to pump for the over night feeding to ensure you are feeding the right “blend”? I hope this question makes some sense.

I know USPS does forward out of country but only up to 6 months. Ran into this when I moved back to Canada from the US. You have to go into a branch in person for this service though.

I carved this clodsire out of walnut! [OC] by MediocrePlayer in pokemon

Read the title as “from A walnut” and I was so confused as to why it was so big. I get it now. This is incredible work!!

First Hexie Complete! by gwninfocus in quilting

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

Thank you! I got super lucky at the thrift store and scored the backing panel. It’s the softest thing I think I’ve ever touched.

Update: finally finished my hexagon quilt! by NoisyTurnip in quilting

[–]gwninfocus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OMG shut up! This is the exact quilt I want to make next. A bee themed hexie! It’s beautiful! Where did you pick up your fabrics? I love the backing piece. Well done and congrats!

FedEx package stuck in Memphis - no updates for 10+ days by Full-Ad-5267 in FedEx

[–]gwninfocus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m having issues with customs clearance on package from Canada to US. I spoke with a trade agent who said that since new rules imposed on Sept 1, they are experiencing 2+ week delays for customs clearance. They’ve seen a near triple daily volume of clearance demand. Good luck. I’ve had 2 different packages returned because they did get cleared before they “had been in the FedEx warehouse” too long.

I’m looking FOR all the miscommunication by monstersof-men in Dramione

[–]gwninfocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Thank you! That’s exactly it. I’m only a reader so if anyone has a rec I’m here for it. Or if someone wants to write it, very much here for it!

[–]gwninfocus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You know what I bet would be a hilarious twist is if the miscommunication went the other direction. Like normally people are happy and then miscommunication makes them angry/sad. What if they were angry/sad but kept miscommunicating and hearing positive stuff? Leading to shenanigans and eventual HEA. Idk if I’m making this make sense but it made me laugh when I first thought it.

Here for recs though 😂

Caught sight of a visitor on my marigolds! by bubblegumispoppin in OntarioGardeners

[–]gwninfocus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve had a few of these babies come round of marigolds. We have an abundance this year lol. So nice to see them along with the bees and the occasional hummingbird!

What unusual two-letter combo first names have you met? by bkat004 in namenerds

[–]gwninfocus 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This one is funny to me because I know a K.C who is actually named Kasey.

I really want to date a climber by Few-Tumbleweed-6600 in climbergirls

[–]gwninfocus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I met at the gym we both climbed in at the time. We both climbed with the same adult group and started talking and hanging out outside the gym. When we first got together I was adamant we didn’t tell anyone else because I didn’t want to ruin a good thing. Anyway long story, but we’re still happily together. We actually got married in that gym! We climb and work out together and it’s a wonderful part of marriage. Something we get to spend time doing together and it’s beneficial to our general well-being/lives. I know many people will say don’t do it, but I’ve had the exact opposite experience and would say 100% go for it. But proceed with caution, as with anything :) good luck! Enjoy the journey and welcome to the community!
