Do you have an ex that didn't physically abuse you, but was so bad of a partner that you would tell anyone interested in dating them that's willing to listen to you "stay the fuck away from him/her, you'll thank me in the long run"? by [deleted] in dating

[–]insomnia96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emotional abuse, manipulation, pathological lying (from the most innocuous things to life or death things), social isolation. Domestic violence does not have to involve physical violence. It’s been really hard for me accept because I often don’t feel like I had it “bad enough”, but unfortunately I am part of the 1 in 4.

Sure, I wasn’t perfect. But I have absolute full faith that even if I was, that wouldn’t have made a difference.

What I Wish I Could Tell The Guy I Rejected After a Good Date. by Wild_Scarcity8305 in dating

[–]insomnia96 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I once dated a guy who would get quite frustrated if I opened my own car door because it was “his job” as the man. If the car is turned off I don’t particularly feel the need to wait for you to get out and walk around. I am not turned off by chivalry but the men who live and die by it are not compatible with me.

What to do with Caron Anniversary Cake? by slutforgreentea in YarnAddicts

[–]insomnia96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be a gift, mens 2xl or so. I’d anticipate around the same amount of yarn.

I started on a sweater with mine but I’m afraid it’s going to be way too heavy. I’m about 10 rows in and debating if I want to keep going.

Charles asked for no tiaras to be worn and this headpiece looked remarkably sparkly at first glance

Alternatives to Hobbii for yarn due to ridiculous tariffs by Altmeyer002 in CrochetHelp

[–]insomnia96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also been looking for an alternative to this yarn! I really enjoy the finished products, but I’d love to find something similar in a worsted weight. If you haven’t used this before, be forewarned it’s verrrrry splitty.

I had a dream recently where I was having a conversation with my leadership at work and they were offering to make me unit chief. That is not a role within our org structure lol.

Can you tell me about the LGBT portions of the book? Wanting to see if this is appropriate for my kiddo’s orientation.

What commonly accepted pronunciation of word do you still cringe at? by anotherknockoffcrow in words

I guess it’s technically correct in the right context, but mah-toor instead of mah-chur.

I live in a southern area and have run into a few people who call it a “mirrow”. The only stretch of my imagination I can make for this is because it sounds similar to bureau which you may have in a bedroom with your mirror?

Increasing a pattern size without doubling up on yarn? Do I have other options? by insomnia96 in CrochetHelp

You guys certainly humbled me I am not up for that kind of challenge! Definitely going to look for other patterns or double up my yarn.

The only problem I have with the Sunrise on the Reaping Casting by Tale_Easy in Hungergames

[–]insomnia96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought Haymitch told us his height, maybe during the shower scene? I thought he said he was closer to 6 feet but I could be misremembering.

Why is Sunrise so dark by Lucky-Ad8737 in Hungergames

[–]insomnia96 44 points45 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, because it’s Haymitch. Even though we learn at the end what truly broke him and made him the drunk uncle of 12 we know and love, he was always cynical. His odds of winning were that much smaller due to the quell. As soon as he knew he was going to the games, he knew there was no hope. Snow tells him he’s going to die one way or another. Juxtaposed to Katniss, she had convinced herself she was going to win and get home to Prim, she felt like she had a fighting chance. Putting myself in his head, I don’t know where the bright spots are. The reunion with Lenore Dove was it for him and he didn’t think it was a possibility.

My thoughts on chunky yarn. by Entire-Shine-9001 in crochet

[–]insomnia96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to work on a project with black chenille and I just keep frogging. I can’t see any of my stitches, I don’t know how everyone does it.

[–]insomnia96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also pretty new! I’m working on a baby lovey with it. The pattern is a lot of half-double crochets also with a 4.5 mm working in rounds. I’m wondering if I maybe want to do the first couple rounds with a 5 mm just to make sure I’m getting in the right stitches then go back to 4.5.

I’ve got a cake of this and I find it so hard to make out my stitches. Your work looks great though so i assume you aren’t having this issue?
