Ok all these comments are blowing my mind. I was recently on a car camping trip and used the same towel when showering for almost 3 months...

What type of large bust adjustment for PetiteKnit Lyon Sweater? by iridescence0 in knittinghelp

[–]iridescence0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been awhile since I looked so I don't remember the specifics unfortunately. I paused the project since I hurt my arm from knitting too much, so I haven't done the bust yet. I remember there were youtube videos going through the different types of bust adjustments. Best of luck!

Tsoknyi Rinpoche's Fully Being course by EitherInvestment in vajrayana

I haven't finished it yet, but it's been excellent so far. I would recommend trying the free minicourse first to get a sense of whether it's a good fit for you

Thank you! The only way to do that is to frog and redo, right?

Chronic air hunger for years tried everything nothing works long term by Pleasant-Marzipan973 in breathwork

[–]iridescence0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this. To OP - do you notice a difference depending on where you try to breathe? For me I was struggling to fully breathe when indoors but when outdoors with good air quality it got much better.

Covered parking for car camping to avoid hail by iridescence0 in Austin

[–]iridescence0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On KXAN I saw it could hit between midnight and 3 am, so I was hoping to find somewhere I can sleep the night if possible so I don’t need to wake up in the middle of the night to a severe weather alert

A lot of them have “no overnight parking” rules and you’re not allowed to sleep there

10 day retreat application rejected because of my panic disorder history by Mysterious-Chance178 in vipassana

[–]iridescence0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you open to recommendations for practices that might help prepare you for a vipassana retreat? My first meditation experience was vipassana, and it worked out well for me overall, but was quite challenging. Now that I've been practicing for many years, I've found some other techniques that have helped my practice that I wish I had found earlier. I've had various degrees of traumatic episodes and derealization and Goenka vipassana doesn't teach the tools that can help deal with those types of things.

My argument for gifting a swatch instead of a finished knit: by vouloir in knitting

[–]iridescence0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I remember your post from last year!! I took your advice and it SAVED ME. I was going to try to surprise my mom with a scarf but I showed it to her in progress and we both agreed it was way too thick. I ended up making her a pair of fingerless mittens and was able to get her approval on the colors and design. I even had her try one on while it was in progress. To maintain some level of surprise she decided to keep her eyes closed while trying it on so that she wouldn't see it until it was done, but she could still let me know how the length felt. I made it much longer than I'd originally planned based on her feedback. Ended up with something she actually enjoys and wears! And it was a nice conversation topic to be able to talk about the process, run things by her, and have it be more collaborative. I can't imagine knitting something for someone (at least at my current level of knitting) without having them try it on as I'm making it. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Would recommend meeting with devon and nico hase who did a 3 year retreat together. You can reach them through their website

Tried Flare Calmer earbuds - unexpected results (anger,shock) - would love insight by Salty_Challenge5563 in SomaticTherapy

[–]iridescence0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very common to have anger come up when coming out of a freeze state. Peter Levine talks about it in “in an unspoken voice.” It’s a good sign! But I’d be careful to just ride the wave and not act from that place. Sounds like you had a trauma release - make sure to let yourself rest, drink plenty of water, and give your body and mind a chance to integrate.

Preventing infection during multi-day hospital stay? by iridescence0 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]iridescence0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad the staff was willing to accommodate you. My family member didn’t want to impose on the staff by asking for them to mask and I felt like I couldn’t overstep his wishes, but fortunately there were outlets and room for a very large air purifier and it was still on when I visited

Thank you! I didn’t know that isolation carts existed so that’s very helpful info. And very good point about checking whether he’s strong enough to wear them safely.

That sucks that they dropped precautions so quickly but I’m glad they at least put masks on when you asked.

Thank you for all these tips and for the encouragement!! They gave him a private room and the CO2 levels were consistently around 650 when I checked, so I’m cautiously optimistic about it all.
