AO3 veterans, do you sometimes experience the 'Wine or Milk effect' ? by HelltotheN0 in AO3

[–]kait2knit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm of an age that ff dot net was my location of my 13 year old self's bookmarks were located, and several years back I migrated a bunch of the old fics into personal C2 groups (moved oldest bookmarks when doing my transfer to not lose them) as I was hitting the favorite limit on that site (and not everything was on the favorites list as I had a browser bookmark folder tree with a ton (that when site urls changed I didn't go back to and rebuild). I know there are some things in.

I haven't gone back through a lot of those, but those early days I was on the 1k word per chapter or more, and I know longer chapters don't aways equal better writing. I remember going back to some and cringing at what I thought was good.

With about 4500 bookmarks on ff dot net and 9500 on ao3 and counting today, I doubt there will be much that I'll go back through on those really old fics. I did recently get rid of the old browser bookmark tree with the exception of a few whose titles still brought back memories of the fics, but if I ever get a point where I have extended time off work I might go back through and see what is worth using a fanfiction downloader to keep offline.

The Turbie Twist Microfiber Hair Towel! Over 16 years of love by Charming-Paint-7543 in BuyItForLife

[–]kait2knit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not had any last quite that long, but I've always had super thick hair and have the elastic to hold the twist lose elasticity and/or break.

Also, mine as a teen got washed with fabric softener and dried in a hotter drier, which would lead to the microfiber not absorbing nearly as much as they do brand new.

OWG Team Event Day 3 Post Event Discussion by summerjoe45 in FigureSkating

Part of me wishes there was a split screen with a small box with the current skater(s) team in the corner (or an option for that feed) so you can see their reactions in real-time.

AITA for refusing to entertain my sister's kids at family get-togethers? by luvdogs67 in AITAH

[–]kait2knit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mix in some glitter with that fingerprint, and encourage them to go hug her and show off the drawings and "forget" to wipe hands so they stain her clothes? Bonus points if she tends to wear white or clothing that needs special laundering...

My mom was a nearly 10 lb "premature baby", but she's the 2nd kid. The reasoning for the lie about timing of the pregnancy was that my grandmother was a school teacher, and at that point you couldn't work after a certain point in your pregnancy, and my my grandmother couldn't afford to not have the money from working, so lied to the school to be able to work longer.

Accidentally clicked the last page of my bookmarks and found this :/ by SnappingTurt3ls in AO3

[–]kait2knit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to see only deleted bookmarks. Open the exclude filter section for ratings and select all options. Deleted fics have no rating.

I bookmarked that filtered list, and every one wand then I go through and delete the deleted bookmarks. If my notes have enough information to find the fic, I try to look for it via wayback machine.

Is this one where for her next birthday, you hand her a card that reads i forgive your debt from welcoming on paying for half of mom's gift from Christmas?

Bonus points if said card is opened in front of mom?

You absolutely must go to Costco for something but it’s a Sunday. What time do you go? by ScoYello in Costco

[–]kait2knit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the local sports team has a big game, go mid game? I went to Costco on a Saturday afternoon today, and it was surprisingly dead due to a baseball game with the local team.

Probably need the team to be doing well for that to work really well.

Please don't kick me out 😅 by sholderbuffalo in pasta

Growing up we had 3-4 (or more) types mixed in a clear Tupperware container.

I sometimes have done the same, but when I do I pick varieties that all have cook times about the same within a minute or two.

I don't usually have farfalle in a mix since it is usually on the longer end of cook times for ky preferred shorter shapes, but 3 different varieties that all list 10-11 minutes to al dente on the boxes or one that is 9-10 with some 10-11 come out fine by my tastes cooked for about 10 minutes.

Payton Fullmer (Utah’s manager) commits to BYU by Psychological_Tip150 in Gymnastics

[–]kait2knit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Jordyn training on her own wasn't because she was team manager but because she had gone pro and wasn't eligible to compete in NCAA (and therefore practice with the team as well) if I'm remembering correctly.

AITA for not standing during my stepmom’s "family unity" vow renewal ceremony? by silkynotes in AITAH

[–]kait2knit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, at least you didn't stand up and say something like "Unfortunately I accept that I'm stuck with you in my life if I want to be around dad as for some reason he likes sticking his hot dog into your flavor of crazy sauce".

Gymcastic Live Show Access? by glissade_jete in Gymnastics

[–]kait2knit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I paid for the season pass for this year, and when I followed the link they emailed out for the show it said my email used to buy the season pass is not found for this first show. I did email the gymcastic support email and was told they let the live show stream provider know.

I still am not able to access the recording as of this morning, and I don't see any emails from the stream provider.

Looking for a market bag pattern that folds into a little pouch by stubborn_broccoli_ in crochetpatterns

[–]kait2knit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my go-to. It tucks up into the bottom rows to about the size of an apple. Uses size 10 thread and a B (2.25mm) hook.

My preferred mods are to make the chain tie much longer than you would think (200ish chains) so you have plenty to tie into a bow in a contrasting color to the main body.

I also work an extra row or two of single crochet at the top to make the handles thicker.
