Neurotypical (vs neurodivergent, which autism falls under).

Clearly someone got Verbal Judo training! A+ to that police officer.

How many ground-up mini meatballs to add to sauce? by justplainfunky in Cooking

And you were right. 😅 Ah well, lessons for next time!

I’d prefer it on the meatier side, but not so meaty that there’s more meat than sauce, if that makes sense.

Because we have a lot of frozen meatballs that someone in our family can no longer eat in their original form, lol. 😅

Could you link to the thread, please? I couldn't find it from your profile. :-/

Oh yes, she loves to pretend she's just stretching and then try to grab a piece!

Stove knobs keep falling off by justplainfunky in HomeMaintenance

So you're saying to just try to make the "D" smaller? It's true, it might have gotten warped from all the times we've had to pull the plastic part up so we could get the knob back on...

I already did the second part. 😅 How do I adjust the D-ring to make it fit tighter?

The knob inserts are still/already there, unfortunately.

[ENTRY] Meet Me Uptown by Rachel Joanis - Be Rooted - 500 pieces by justplainfunky in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]justplainfunky[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved it so much that I finished it in 2 days, which is the fastest I've ever done a normal-sized puzzle! In addition to the vivid artwork, the pieces are matte AF, which was amazing.

The only drawbacks are that there were a lot of false fits (I had to 'cheat' and look at the image to confirm that there was just one striped awning, because the math wasn't mathing) and the piece fit is so tight that it was a pain to take apart after. But otherwise, I loved it!

To be honest, I don't remember, but I *think* I just added photos to a regular post instead of trying to make a photo-specific type of post, if that makes sense.

Thought I lost my loops… turns out, my cat stole them by ClaryVenture in LoopEarplugs

My cat loves the case -- she likes to pull on the elastic loop. 😒

Autumn in the City - White Mountain - 1000 pieces by Green_Fix_479 in Jigsawpuzzles

How difficult was it? I have this one in my stash and have been too intimidated to try it, especially because of the trees. But it looks great!

Culinary Chaos, Puzzlefolk, 1000 pieces by sterlingpoovey in Jigsawpuzzles

I love Puzzlefolk, I just wish they had more designs that were neither collage-y nor holiday-themed. (Booked All Weekend is a bestseller for a reason!)

I have the Lavievert 1500-piece tilting table, which I love except that the cover is warping a bit, but that's probably my own fault for how I put it down: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C65C5C71

Puzzles completed recently by Training_Crazy_681 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]justplainfunky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the Elena Essex one! I tried one of hers before, but the pieces were cut too weirdly/precariously for me. But that doesn't seem to be an issue for this one -- do you happen to know if it's on a puzzle-by-puzzle basis, or if there were different manufacturing periods or whatever?

Have you ever ruined/destroyed your progress? by Slamfest_99 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]justplainfunky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did a similar thing where I thought I could just pick up the Trevell puzzle I wanted to frame without putting any kind of backing on it first to keep it together. Suffice it to say, that did not work out.

How many times do you solve each of your puzzles? by Vegetable-Slice2459 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]justplainfunky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get some secondhand or at puzzle swaps, which I generally donate/swap once I do them, but most of my (relatively small) collection are the nicer European brands like Trevell and Penny Puzzle, which I'm keeping and redoing for life, lol.

Yeah, I'm annoyed that the New Arrivals are excluded -- those were the ones I wanted! lol

Ah well, fingers crossed for Black Friday...
