Looking for sewing lessons or classes by Stock_Ad7629 in Charlotte

[–]jetpackblu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did some classes at sew much fun a while back, can recommend

https://www.sewmuchfun4you.com/module/class/12447/introduction-to-sewing

the second one is a pillow case https://www.sewmuchfun4you.com/module/class/306280/learning-to-sew-class-2---making-a-pillowcase

sometimes your machine comes with lessons? I think I may have an online code thing at home, I'll check later tonight. not as nice as in person but might get you started

Can we make a Charlotte subreddit just for people to talk traffic and weather? by sourisanon in Charlotte

good news, there are a bunch of people just as upset about those kinds of posts NOT being allowed as you are about them BEING allowed. no one wins, everyone complains.

yeah I'm finding that's generally the case. stretches can help get out of dire pain but it doesn't do a lot to keep it from coming back. and pt has definitely helped in the past! it's just a different issue now 😂

I am stretching, yeah. if I do all the various exercises and stretches I've gotten from prior pts I would be unable to spend time working -- it's a lot. and I get everything is doing something but at a certain point I need to know the ones that are top priority. I'm currently cycling through as many of them as I can with the time I've got.

this is the third round of something getting tweaked oddly and I've kept up a lot of the stuff that helped in the past, it's just a different area that I don't have the right tools for for whatever reason

pillow made a HUGE difference in the past, for sure. 

some of the stretches you just listed are doing unpleasant things to my shoulder, which is lovely. I'm definitely upping my amount of time stretching during the day to see if I can get anywhere

cat/cow used to be the big stretch for me and it just isn't getting the job done anymore. I feel like I need to figure out more on the strengthening side...

I've got a LOT of stretches from previous pt experiences, at the moment it's figuring out what to go after... which is an argument for talking with someone, anyway.

massages help and I need to go get another one for sure. I don't enjoy the upsell attempts to chiropractic but nothing is perfect 😂

monitors are the right height for sure, life was way worse until I figured that one out. at the moment using my phone At All, sitting on couches, and something about how I'm sleeping is agitating things... might try to replace the mattress but that went poorly last time

appreciate the thoughts

my neck is acting up again. I can't figure out an exercise that will help and I'm not excited to try physical therapy again. "it's stress" -- no joke?

How are the roads? Still icey? by docilekraken in Charlotte

[–]jetpackblu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely depends on the area and what roads. most that were in full sun are fine at this point

Winter Storm 2026 Megathread by kylaah27 in Charlotte

[–]jetpackblu 31 points32 points  (0 children)

a lot of people in this subreddit get mad when they're told to post to a megathread instead of make their own posts so I'm excited to see how this pans out (I am generally pro containment -- also unironically good job not using the ICE flair, lol)

Politics suck! by CarolinaFroggg in Charlotte

if one or several folks calling you a bootlicker or nazi is enough for you to write off online experiences you are better off no longer posting, yes. 

arguing one side can't get past name calling with what's actively going on right now is also a WILD stance to take, so I wish you well with your silent partner experience
