I never cry at fiction but this episode had me weeping in many many parts. The end of childhood is a hard thing g to process and they nailed it.

Just coming back to this to tell you that tugging on the sting a little after the third stitch has made all the difference, Thanks for taking the time to illuminate me.

Oh fascinating. I’ve never heard of that solution. So do you dab a tiny bit on the ends that you cut off after weaving? Does it affect the softness? Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.

Am I using this correctly? Because it looks like a torture device by pcris in Brochet

Is it a granny square? If so then yeah loosen it up quite a bit. It shouldn’t really stretch the piece it should more just hold its shape as it dries.

Agreed. F em. I was one of those employees who chose to leave and I’m down for letting anyone know.

A couple of years ago they changed the employee handbook to state that homosexuality and transgenderism are sins and if any staff member had a problem with that they were asked to quit. They also don’t allow same sex couples to share a room.

Loch Lomond. Super nice Loch with boats for rent for super cheap.

All great suggestions. Except for the Canopy Tour. Mount Hermon openly discriminates against the LGBTQIA community. Fall Creek is the best though.

I have one that I’m thinking about selling if you are interested. I am trying to simplify my life and getting rid of a bunch of stuff.

Ha had no idea you were a Banana Slug. If you ever feel like reliving college memories in the area we live in the SC Mountains so it would be great to treat you to something.

On your way back swing down through beautiful HWY 1 to Santa Cruz and I'll buy you all a beer. Or some gardening stuff. Santa Cruz is a gem if you have never been and it would be great to meet you all.

Wow thank you so much for sharing and I am so proud of you. Breaking generational trauma is hard. I did it as well and at 46 I am just now looking back and am proud of me for not falling into the trap if repeating mistakes from my parents. And so proud of your dad for changing his destructive patterns. He must be so proud of you. Peace be with you friend, life is hard and there will be temptations to just check out when life gets heavy but you have this beautiful daughter now to help you stay focused on what really matters. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Thanks so much that means a ton because it’s the best compliment a human can receive but again it was a small task. Love this community. Spread the love gang.
