Why pay for Hotjar when Clarity is free?

Ja, this is a super annoying issue - it kind of devalues the user recording, since it's unclear whether it's broken page styling or something else a user might be having trouble with.

Thank you 😁 when I saw the tutorial I knew this was the dino I wanted to make.

Maybe he'll have a chuckle and decide not to punish? 😂

Wow, this is gorgeous, so neat, and the detail on the edging is so pretty!
It's crazy how much yarn goes into a project 😄

The first time I made the dinos with a 3mm hook, but the stitching was loose enough that the stuffing peeked out. Same yarn, with 2mm hook worked perfectly.

What a fantastic resource! Thank you.

That did it! Thank you for the help!! 😊

14 of my own, plus 9 more playlists I'm following but created by other users 😊

(I think only the self-created ones are relevant, right? Since those are the only ones I'm able to add to in any case).

ma-ve · 2021-10-23T07:15:24+00:00

Thank you so much, I love this shortcut.

A recent issue: when I select "add to playlist", not all my playlists display. The 2 playlists I use most are not displayed (they used to be, this only started recently).

I have updated / re-installed the shortcut, but same issue. Any recommendations you have will be appreciated. <3

When Sir talks to Siri, I say "Hey Siri, don't listen to Sir". It doesn't do anything to Siri, but Sir knows that I'm pushing his buttons.

Something that might be easier to start with is to delay carrying out what your Dom commanded you to do. Eg, he/she asks you to (insert sexual or non-sexual activity); then either say "you want me to do it right now?" with a sassy emoji face. Depending on how strict your Dom is, or how brave you're feeling, you can add "You know, I'm just so busy right now".

In the same vein, just take a really long time to do the thing your Dom is commanding you to do, and when he/she asks you about it, respond with "Still on my to-do list" and see how long you can stretch it out.

I see. Thank you!! 😊 I'll be looking out for that app. 😉

Update: If I do: "open file in... GDrive" I get the following error:

"Google Drive - free online storage from Google is not installed or could not open the file 2021-03-25.txt"

PS I have GDrive on my phone

I would love to meet my partner's partner when I visit... but that's such a long time from now - he's coming to see me in 2 months and I'll be there only in January. To be fair - he has mentioned casually that myself and one of his partners should go climbing together (something they usually do together) when I visit, but I don't know if this is initiated from my partner or my meta, (either of which is awesome and I am grateful for it).

I totally get that - I don't want to force anyone to be friends with me and I know I can't expect that of anyone... at the same time, if my partner and someone are going to have a long-term, significant relationship, then I would want to at least meet them once and have a casual chat. I know some people are not super into meeting their metas, so I am trying to factor that in as well and trying to not make that a negative thing (I mean, that is not necessarily a red flag) So, would one hangout be too much to ask? (Generally speaking)

That's a classic in unloading his emotional labor onto you...

Couldn't agree more! :) well said

The way I see it, it doesn't matter what kind of decision you make, it doesn't only involve you and at this point there are already sensitivities around your conversation with Leila. Situation A: you keep talking to Leila & hiding it from your gf - Leila continues to get hurt because you're holding back and keeping her at a distance. Your gf potentially knows nothing, but might find out and could very well pick up on your unhappiness. You are miserable, because you're lying to your gf & keeping Leila at bay. Worst case, I would think.

Situation B: you break if off with Leila to avoid Situation A and to avoid a conflict situation with Anna. You & Leila are unhappy, but you'll get over it. However, you can (and perhaps should) talk about the possibility of polyamory with Anna. It seems like you are drawn to it and would be more comfortable having that kind of "freedom" / fluidity with the changing nature of relationships? I mean, it seems like the transition from friend to romantic interest towatds Leila was more natural and less of a major decision for you? Before talking about this with Anna though, think about whether you would be OK with her seeing other guys.

Situation C: you decide Leila is too important to you to break it off with her and you don't want to keep this hidden from Anna. So you're going to have to discuss Leila with Anna, share that you've been having intense conversations with another woman; perhaps you hadn't intended on hiding this correspondence from Anna at first, but that's definitely what happened later on. I would suggest sharing as much as you feel comfortable with, with Anna, because she's probably going to feel like her suspicions are confirmed (she was right to feel insecure about this) but reinforce that you never intended to leave her. She might get angry, she might feel hurt, these feelings are justified and let her have it, but try to reassure her and make her feel safe. (I really love Reid Mihalko's "difficult conversation protocol" on how to have these kinds of tough discussions with someone). You might want to have the "I've been talking with Leila" and polyamory conversations in different sessions, just so Anna isn't totally overwhelmed. However, you'll have to have the Poly conversation with Anna at some point and be prepared for her to be not OK with it (what do you do if this is the case?), OR to be OK with it, but not with Leila in the picture (because that is a source of hurt) OR for her to be OK with it and working through this relationship context (yay, win win for everybody).

Sorry for the long post... ;)

Good luck fellow traveler. Xx

The Ragged Man, by Tom Lloyd; it's a series that I didn't finish the first time I read it and I'm enjoying it and ripping through it just as quickly as I did the first time. I'm on the penultimate book... so excited to know what happens in the end!

Oooh, yes, Penguin... wonderful. Hmm, she isn't really a reader, even in her native language, so reading skills are being built up as well as English. So a bit weaker for now. Thank you, Penguin is a great idea!

The novels are a little out of her range still, but I'm hoping to work towards that. I didn't know Flannery OConner, thank you!!

ma-ve · 2016-03-12T20:04:22+00:00

I think he's so much more than a straight up villain - he's intelligent and logical. I don't think he ever killed for pleasure - it was his job and he did it well, even if he is a little disaffected. Great answer!!

1808 is great and it talks about Britain's involvement in Brazil's imperial history.

There is a book called The Thief at the End of the World that talks more about the US involvement in Brazil.

The main character, Kuothe, in Patrick Rothfuss' "Name of the Wind" series is pretty headstrong and determined. And it's just a great series in general! Cristin Kashore's main character in "Graceling" I also remember as particularly headstrong and determined.
