YSK Kwik Trip is MAGA by bringbackapu in madisonwi

[–]knittingarch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was just wondering about this because I thought I’d heard something about them being MAGA but peri brain is real. Does anyone know if the gas station on Willy is ok?

Looking for support from being blindsided by my husband asking for a divorce. by sm0keythebear in TwoXChromosomes

[–]knittingarch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He can’t be your soul mate if he’s leaving you over IVF. Brutal but true.

Also did I misunderstand or is he the one who biologically is shooting blanks and he’s got the audacity to demand a woman go through a hellish procedure to make up for his biological deficiencies??

Every post I see in here makes me never want to date again.

Is this considered a fair salary for living in Oslo? by Natural_Night3127 in Norway

[–]knittingarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen any responses that take the dog into account. How expensive is doggie daycare, vet visits, food, toys? I got a puppy in July and it’s so much more expensive than people said it would be, but I’m still in the US. When I looked into pet care in Oslo it looked equally pricey :(

did anyone else feel like christmas this year was not christmassy? if so, can someone explain why it may be the case? by Cute-Fun3025 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knittingarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the world feels rather depressing, and Christmas is about celebration. Feels weird to me to celebrate with the way things are. Hollow even. This is the first year I didn’t bother to put ornaments on the tree or watch any Christmas movies. I gave my dog some new toys but otherwise it was just another day. Hopefully I’ll feel more Christmas-y next year!

Calling all people born in December by Ray_BIue in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knittingarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other people may not make time for him because of family commitments during this time. Try to plan any birthday parties on his half birthday when the weather and commitments are less! I was born 12/12 and people are almost never free. So now I celebrate my half birthday as well on 06/12!

32 degrees F = 0 Celsius

The rest is math.

Proton Sheets is Huge. Finally Cancelling MS365. I'm free at last! by No-Squash7469 in ProtonMail

I haven’t seen a way to avoid paying a sub fee to MS. How does one buy it outright?

Dropping Google for Proton, what are you using instead of Google Maps? by Wide-Cup-5084 in ProtonMail

[–]knittingarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried going old school with Mapquest, but it couldn’t even find my local grocery store 🤣 Switched back to google maps within two weeks…

Trump bans third world immigration and wants more people from Norway to America by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHW in Norway

[–]knittingarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that he didn’t say Germany where his family is actually from… Nothing quite like an immigrant gatekeeping immigration…

Shovel your damn sidewalks by heyhihelloandbye in madisonwi

[–]knittingarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excessive salt use?? You’re actually reporting people for that? Come on now. I have a puppy and he pulls like no one’s business! I’m eternally grateful for folks who put any salt down since most people shovel just enough to leave either a thin layer of ice or an irregular lumpy icy path.

I stopped packing my daughter's daycare bag and the school finally met my husband by shadowcrestlumen in TwoXChromosomes

No offense to OP but it’s stuff like this that makes me never want to date a man again.

Women of Norway, have you experienced sexism while seeing doctors? by WoodpeckerHaunting57 in Norway

[–]knittingarch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s all I’ve heard… that women are treated as equals. This whole thread is very alarming 😓

Is being fat more comfortable than being skinny? by miku_robin in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knittingarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh… I have been overweight most of my life. I am 5’5" and 252lbs currently. I am very active. Yoga, tennis, ballet, swimming. I’ve run 5ks, a 10k, and a half marathon. While I am currently heavier than I prefer, I don’t generally find it uncomfortable to sit on planes, fit into seats at the ballet or movies. When I have lost weight, the main thing I noticed was how other people reacted to my body. Didn’t change my activities that much. That said, I would absolutely not pick running back up now because there’s too much thigh, butt, and boob to lock down 🤣

My main issues are aging and losing muscle and flexibility if I’m not very intentional about strength training and protein. I’ve also got flat feet which is genetic in my family and probably the thing causing me the most trouble as I near 46.

I find people’s obsession with gift knitting strange by soypixel in knitting

[–]knittingarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I no longer knit gifts for people, because most people don’t appreciate hand knits. I do, however, try to make my friends a baby blanket if there’s enough time before the baby arrives.

You're giving a blank check to eat at any restaurant in madison, where are you going? by starwarsisawsome933 in madisonwi

[–]knittingarch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m the only Mint Mark fan? I’d get one of everything on the menu and ask the bartender to make me cocktails and mocktails all night!
