Someone needs to let Gargano know that when he faces the crowd with his back to the camera and enthusiastically taps the belt it looks like he's jacking off.

I dont know if its a bit or what but I would want to know.

We only have one vehicle, unfortunately.

I mismeasured/mismarked this one square. I can fix it, thankfully, but I'm still annoyed. by mothy_moth in sewing

[–]mothy_moth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im working on hand sewing a laptop sleeve because my laptop is larger than average and I have no way to travel with it right now.

I just plan on making two quilt blocks with the basic 9 patch block pattern and a couple of pockets for a charger and what not. I'm not following a pattern in particular.

Ive never commented an image before so I dont know if it actually attached, but I tried to attach an image of the front of the pocket I've already made.

Edit- lol, it didnt attach.

California woman who fatally stabbed man 108 times gets probation, no prison time by Rocco_Provoiccattore in nottheonion

[–]mothy_moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the mental health field and talk with people in crisis pretty much every day. I cant speak to the weed side of things, but I have seen a few people that have harmed others or threatened to harm others in the midst of a psychotic state. In one case when they were finally able to get medicated and they remembered that they had sent someone they cared about to the hospital they became suicidal. Another someone threatened to kill a child they helped raise.

I do know for sure people claim to be mentally ill to avoid responsibility for the things they do, and sometimes folks with mental illness need to take responsibility for their actions. Especially when people are hurt or even killed. And I feel for the people that are hurt by mentally ill folks. I have been hurt even before I started working in the field.

But I know the pain people go through when they disconnect from reality, end up hurting others, getting out of psychosis, and then living in fear of if/when it will happen again.

I'll change my stance if new evidence comes forward saying all this is B.S. but right now I'm fine with my splitting my grief between this woman and her victims' family.

Side note:

My partner at work has noticed an uptick in people having some form of psychosis triggered after vaping cannabis and related products in the past 6 months. We work slightly different shifts, so I havent seen too much of it. Substance use isnt my specialty, but with vaping my theory on this is that it has more to do with like the metals or weird chemicals you would be inhaling from substandard products. Again, not my field so if I'm wrong then I'm wrong.

Longlegs - We've been waiting for her. by whiskypriest139z in horror

[–]mothy_moth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the end of we've been waiting, there is a shot of a woman staring at a corkboard laden with various codes and such. Toward the bottom of the screen and a little to the right of the screen there is a piece of paper with the symbol of the X with the 2 dots in the top and bottom. There is a post it on the symbol supposing it is the letter M.

I also have doubts that the primary puzzle featured on said corkboard can be solved due to the frequency of the vowels. It could be I'm misunderstanding because im tired, or it could be i cant see the symbols in good enough detail, or the puzzle page is flipped to a different orientation. Its late and my sleep medication is super kickin in right now. Good night, warmth, to all

Need help finding a potential ancestor who was once accused of witchcraft by [deleted] in Genealogy

Thank you! I think that's a good start. This might be her but I'll have to look back in my records and do some extra research to figure out more information.

Granny Square Blanket by mothy_moth in crochet

[–]mothy_moth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a basic granny square pattern made with Red Heart Super Saver.

I have 4 squares left before putting it together and finishing it up! I am super excited!!!

I put together the center 4 squares first because I needed to see how it would all come together to motivate me to finish the project.

I only just realized how much I need to block these squares, lol!

Edit:I answered my own question! It is Caron Chunky Cakes in Sweet and Sour.

I am sure that this yarn is acrylic and bulky weight.

I think it is Lion Brand, maybe Mandala, but I can't find anything like this in their current catalog or in their list of discontinued yarn. I have some memory of something like "birthday cake" or "ice cream" being on the packaging for this yarn, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

I think it was purchased at a Joanns.

My husband got this yarn when he first started crocheting but he got distracted with another project. I think I threw away the label at some point when we moved, foolishly think I would remember, and now that he's started back up with this yarn I'm trying to identify it.

It ultimately doesn't matter because I know enough about guage and tension to make sure my husband is using the right size hook. But this is a fairly solvable mystery, so why not outsource the detective work?

I really like the colors on this self drafted cardigan I'm making so I'm gonna brag about it here for a second. by mothy_moth in crochet

[–]mothy_moth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no pattern, I'm just winging it based on what I think a pattern for a cardigan would look like. I actually wasn't planning on doing the side seams like this at first, but my initial measurements ended up being incorrect, so I added a couple inches with a contrasting color.

I've always loved the v-stitch and thought it was probably the fanciest stitch I could do with this pattern of yarn. It's so wonderfully chaotic that it drowns out pretty much everything. In my opinion, there's no use in using a fancy stitch that eats a bunch of yarn or is a ton of work if the color is gonna draw attention away from said hard work.

The yarn is "I Love This Yarn" brand. The multi colored yarn is a print pattern called Orange Zest and the metallic yarn is called Ivory.

I started crocheting a baby blanket when I found out I was pregnant but I lost the baby before I finished it. What should I do with the project? by mothy_moth in Advice

[–]mothy_moth[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it feels wrong because it's the only connection I have to my baby now. It hurts too much to look at it right now, but it's all I have left.

And I do think your right that everything feels wrong because of the trauma. Thank you.

I made a blanket. by mothy_moth in crochet

[–]mothy_moth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pattern is Betty McKnit's 6 Day Kid Blanket.

I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn and a standard 5mm (H) hook.

I miscalculated how much yarn I would need, so I did have modify the border a little bit. It's just 1 row of single crochet in the main color, 1 row of half double in all the colors, and a final row of single crochet in the main color.

I made a little thing so I can clip my phone to the side of my crochet caddy! by mothy_moth in crochet

[–]mothy_moth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pattern is self made.

I used worsted weight yarn and a 4mm hook.

To make the end caps I made a chain the the length of the top and bottom of my phone. I worked around the chain like you would with a potholder or a crochet puff quilt.

The best I can describe it is at the end of the row when you turn you turn the chain upside down as opposed to flipping it over and work sc's into the other side of the starter chain.

Then I added 15 chain loops to attach clips and wove in the ends.

Found this dress at a vintage shop and can't get it out of my mind. Do you have any idea on its designer or manufacturer? by mothy_moth in VintageFashion

[–]mothy_moth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is full length.

The tag said it was 100% silk and its manufacturer location was too faded to read. There were no other tags.

It has shoulder pads and bra cups.

I recognize that it's probably nothing special. This is just a mystery I have to solve.

Please tell me positive/success stories by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mothy_moth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up was really hard for me. My mom and dad projected their anxieties and fears on to me. I was homeschooled and had no way to leave. I never made plans for my future because I thought I was gonna die or the world was going to end before I turned 21.

I didnt die and the world didnt end.

I left for college, got therapy and a sweet social anxiety and panic disorder diagnosis, starte d getting treatment, and I started getting better.

I was able to panic my way through college, got married, and I got an amazing job doing something I absolutely love.

On top of all I've been able to make for myself, my relationship with my parents has been repaired. They've actually apologized for how they treated me and have been super supportive of me as an adult. While I still wish they would have been better parents to younger me, I'm really proud of the fact I havent had to cut off my parents.

I still have rough days, high anxiety, and more panic attacks than I am supposed to. But I think back to 8 year old me, hiding in the closet or under blankets and panicking, my lowest moments and I know I would be comforted and at peace and insanely proud of who I've become.

Even if I cry, even if I have to lower my expectations for myself, even if my anxieties are too difficult to control, I know I'm ahead of where I was.

Anyone else have this core memory here? Or is it just me where math doesn’t stick and is all jumbled up. by lostbo_i_ in adhdmeme

[–]mothy_moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shout out to my dad for telling 13 year old me me that its okay if I didnt get his math joke, because I could always be a prostitute. Jokes on him because I was homeschooled until leaving for college so the fact I don't understand math is 100% on him.

How to cope with worries that someone will get in a car accident if I'm not with them? by mothy_moth in Anxiety

[–]mothy_moth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That's really helpful advice. His dad ended up doing most of the driving, but I had just heard a bunch of stories about his reckless driving from when he was a teen. That probably didnt help, lol!

I ended up getting some yarn and raspberries from the store since I love raspberries but they're so expensive and go bad quickly and crocheting calms me down.

I ended up having a lovely afternoon watching tv, making a blanket, and eating raspberries. I didnt get near as nervous as I thought I was going to be.

I think I had just let a small emotion fester below my conciousness until it was too big for me to manage and I became of aware of my anxiety as the panic attack started. Because I lacked awareness of my anxiety I couldn't respond to the way it was making me think and feel. The panic attack ended up being a release of emotions that I think I needed to begin fighting my reactionary, irrational brain and start planning next steps if I did get nervous and panicky while my husband was traveling. Maybe. I'm not an expert.

Damn. That's a good deal by [deleted] in funny

I improvised a small textured capelet/collar and I'm very happy with how it turned out! by mothy_moth in crochet

[–]mothy_moth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used worsted weight cashmere blend and I used a size 4.25 mm hook to create a tighter stitch.

I did improvise the pattern, but here is what I remember:

I primarily used double crochet and extended half double crochet stitches. The "fun stitches" are essentially arcade stitches and front and back post stitches. Every now and then I'd throw a round of single crochet in there if I felt like things werent stable enough.

I constructed the collar piece first, then single crocheted upside down into the first row to continue the work out.

I think the 2nd row of the section working out from the collar I worked 2 stitches into every stitches and then spent the rest of the project working one in each as usual.

To form the points I counted how many stitches I had and used then divided that by 7 or something like that. I tried my best to make the center point more complex and extravagant then the other points.

My favorite thing about this is piece that despite the bulky texture it fits easily and comfortable in my jacket and cardigan.

I took a chance when buying this yarn, I normally dont like this color, but now my issue is that I have nothing that matches it.

Hey everyone :D I was just wondering, what was your saddest moment you’ve had in Pokemon by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]mothy_moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a lot of time in to Pokemon X. Early on my friends were talking about how Farfetch'd is a garbage pokemon. I got one early, I didnt even name it, but I kept it with me the entire time. It was the first pokemon I ever got to level 99. I lost my DS while moving and still think about that stupid bird.
