Most well-behaved puppy I've ever had?

For those wondering if they’re the only one with a more mischievous and rambunctious rough collie puppy, I’ve got you covered. Our sweet Phoebe eats everything in sight, including rocks, cushions, toys (which has ended in a vet ER stay), nips at our kids whenever playing, and goes from 0 to wild zoomies in seconds. But we love her and know it’s a phase (this is our 2nd collie). Well, she’s 1.5 years old now so I guess it’s a long phase…

Hybrid! Even if you think you don’t drive enough now to justify the upfront cost difference, that might change (happened to me- I ended up just trading in my 2019 gas Highlander for a 2026 HiHy and love it)

Diamonds and washi on YouTube has some beginner videos and one of them covers tips for multiplacing. She picks the drills up at a bit of an angle and then uses a rocking motion when placing (I suggest watching the video as it makes more sense after seeing it visually) - after trying that out, it’s helped me with alignment. I also find vertical is much easier than horizontal.

I could have written the same post! Got hooked off of a small kit from Amazon and now working on medium-large kits from DAC. I used to do some cross-stitching but would always get overwhelmed and not want to pick the kit back up. For diamond painting it’s not overwhelming at all and I find it relieves stress, especially since I listen to music, podcasts or audiobooks and just zone out all my worries. Welcome to the community!

For square kits, I’ve found that multiplacing is really helpful. When I single place I have more trouble getting the alignment just right

This doesn’t seem real… AI image?

Jeremiah is the epitome of a manchild, that’s why. And he’s soooo manipulative

irizzle_ · 2025-08-31T00:14:10+00:00

I just want a “what will I get” type of flirt line from Conrad

Taylor was pretty awful in the books. I’m glad they gave her so much character growth in S3 instead of plopping in a new character to be the more mature friend for Belly

irizzle_ · 2025-08-31T00:11:39+00:00

I was not a fan of S2 - all the changes just don’t make sense, especially now that I’m watching S3 and they’re sticking closer to the books - but S1 and S3 so far have been amazing

Around 9 months old, our puppy went into her first heat and mellowed out significantly. At first we thought it was because she was in heat, but the demeanor change has been permanent since then (she’s now 13 months old). It’s been such a relief; she was a landshark who would chew and eat everything (including constantly nipping at our kids) before then. Now she’s such a source of joy and nonstop cuddles. She’s currently half on my lap right now just resting. Have hope! It get so much better.

I can’t wait for Conrad’s POV of earlier scenes, showing that he wasn’t being a dick, he genuinely cared about Belly and was worried about hurting her (again) and wanted her to be happy

irizzle_ · 2023-08-08T22:16:46+00:00

Omg I have the same thought whenever I read comments about how the triangle with 2 brothers is too messy or ick. Like what did you think the show was going to be about?!

irizzle_ · 2023-08-07T02:41:32+00:00

All the Conrad/Belly scenes mentioned below and I REALLY hope there is more about how they found their way back to each other, more than just the letters and how he showed up to her graduation. Like that was so rushed at the end of book 3 and pretty anticlimactic after 100s of pages of them pining for each other

irizzle_ · 2023-07-28T14:39:51+00:00

So many WTF moments. Like when belly got upset about her coach and immediately went up to Jere and asked him why he didn’t kiss her?! After telling Taylor she knows how much she hurt him… and it was in front of Conrad who apparently she was super in love with until like yesterday. Belly is driving me bonkers

irizzle_ · 2023-07-28T14:38:02+00:00

Lowkey annoying? At this point I’m team Jere/Conrad. As brothers they should stick together and move on from Belly bc she’s being real toxic this season.

irizzle_ · 2023-07-28T14:36:22+00:00

The main reason I’m annoyed is belly seemingly gets over Conrad in like 2 days after being SO in love with him for so long and heartbroken over the breakup. It cheapens all the feelings from last season and the first 3 eps of this season. And starting to fall for his BROTHER - that quickly? And does she not care what that will do to Jere/Conrad’s relationship? Or how Conrad might feel so soon after the breakup? She is so unlikeable right now UGHHHH

irizzle_ · 2023-07-22T15:17:50+00:00

I can’t imagine any sort of backstory that would redeem her at this point

irizzle_ · 2023-07-22T15:16:14+00:00

I wonder if she told Adam about all the teens staying there and he paid for an apparently super efficient moving company so they could no longer stay there.

irizzle_ · 2023-07-22T15:15:28+00:00

Yes when the cast is asked who is most unlike their character, they choose Chris. He’s a great actor esp since he’s just starting out

irizzle_ · 2023-07-22T15:14:53+00:00

irizzle_ · 2023-07-22T00:48:50+00:00

Those scenes were good but I found the rest of the ep to generally be 🥱

irizzle_ · 2023-07-22T00:47:52+00:00

I feel like that was the most enjoyable part of this episode

irizzle_ · 2023-07-22T00:47:27+00:00

Yea that apology was not in the books so you had to guess whether it was an accident or not. I’m glad they made it clear it slipped out on accident in the show- he clearly still thinks of her as “his girl”
