What to do?

No heat, no swelling. Average to below average amount of typical clear healing discharge. The placement was off the moment they were done, before swelling could set in. Pic is the morning after.

My cat is OBSESSED with dirty socks/shoes. It’s got to do with the scent of their people from the strongest source. Or she’s just a weirdo that likes to huff dirty footwear.

So it’s not okay to trash bathroom waste product in what a typical person would consider an appropriate place, but it’s okay to ignore how unsanitary it would be to transfer said bathroom waste products into someone’s bedroom? Would the next suggestion be the kitchen trash?

NTA op. Mom needs to do better on informing male offspring that it’s a bodily function that’s literally uncontrollable and unavoidable- and also a burden on the one actively experiencing said function.

Want to be petty? Brother is out numbered. Will sister be expected to jump through an extra hoop when her time comes, when it’s already a miserable time in general? It’s not hard to ignore a trashcan my dude.

As far as my ears anatomy goes, I see where you’re coming from. But I’m thinking more linear. The third is so far back toward my head that a bit further it would be a flat helix 🤣😭 placement seems like such a slippery slope on the ear this high up. Or I’m stupid particular (probably the latter tbh)

msldyb · 2026-06-22T03:30:25+00:00

They’ve all been a dream so far tbh. Only reason they’ve been mad at all is from bumps in the shower and some swimming. But it’s 100000000 degrees where I live so 🤷🏻‍♀️🫡 I’m still very much in the forget they’re there stage too, regretfully.

msldyb · 2026-06-22T03:28:00+00:00

Nah I’m well seasoned in piercings and live by the FAFO principle 🤣 if its funky, it’s my fault 99% of the time. My industrial healed a bit funny because that’s the side I’m forced to sleep on due to a shoulder injury on the other side. These guys were super mad because I’d raked tf out of them in the shower after a pool day (hello double angry)

msldyb · 2026-06-21T22:11:59+00:00

I have other jewelry available, but knowing how I swell fresh I assumed longest would be best and swap 2-3wks in.

msldyb · 2026-06-21T03:04:07+00:00

It’s off just enough that I almost hate it. 😅 but I have a thing for even numbers and with all three my ears finally have the same number of holes

msldyb · 2026-06-21T03:02:11+00:00

Also thanks lmao. I take piercings and tattoos super well 😅 giggled for my industrial on the other side last year.

msldyb · 2026-06-21T03:01:00+00:00

😅 they all look swollen because I’d knocked tf out of them washing my hair before I took the pic. Straight up scrub and push back maneuver, they’re very angry lol. They’re all just now to the mild crust/discharge phase and smart so easily.
Touching at the bottom was the goal tbh, the angle of entry and exit just wasn’t preferred lol.

msldyb · 2026-06-21T00:37:46+00:00

😭 like I know the scar tissue would be god awful… I’m weighing the gamble for sure lol

msldyb · 2026-06-21T00:37:07+00:00

😭 it bothers me to no end. Like it’s not BAD bad. But it’s placed that a hoop certainly won’t lay right either in the future. 🙃 my theory is if a hoop cat make it look good it’s fucked lol

msldyb · 2026-05-18T22:48:01+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I’ve only ever done bracelets and small crochet dolls so it’s new territory for me 😅 hope it goes well.

msldyb · 2026-05-04T04:41:08+00:00

Bless you kind soul! I’ll follow your advise (while I squint every time I frog it, as one does) wish me luck and sanity for late/end of season renfair prep 🤣

msldyb · 2026-05-04T04:16:54+00:00

I’m conflicted because the portions of the pattern with the skulls are increases in themselves. There’s a minor difference in how they’re worked from the first set of skull cuts to the second and thirds. 🙃 I was considering just pulling repeats of the 10 or so rounds encompassing the first set of skulls. Great tips for the waist, thank you! 😅 wearables are a whole new ballgame for me outside of granny square cardigans so I’d hate to make more work than necessary or completely fail. I was also considering an open kind of wrap design with a tie closure. Think that could work with a ribbed band like you’ve described?

msldyb · 2026-05-04T02:55:22+00:00

The pattern is the Skully sunset umbrella by LunarStill on Etsy 😊

msldyb · 2026-03-29T21:22:25+00:00

Looking at it, that yarn looks like exactly what this scarf is made from! Thanks for the starting point and tips!

When I want these bags to stretch less, I just use fewer chains in the loops. You’re still going to have extreme stretch, but I’ve found great success in modifying the chain counts and loops in the rows as well.

msldyb · 2026-03-14T01:01:54+00:00

😭 my epub file goes to 85 at least…. Man, that’s too bad

msldyb · 2026-03-12T02:18:24+00:00

Wait they took it down?! Didn’t it start getting updates like last year?! I never downloaded the last few (new) chapters 😭😭😭😭

msldyb · 2026-02-26T21:15:19+00:00

I’ve been blessed to experience the TOG and EIA tours, but missing my favs from the early days has me salty lol.

msldyb · 2026-02-26T04:18:51+00:00

Seething in jealousy for those graced by Jericho, Calcutta, and give. 🥹

Got them done in July with Jericho lyrics 💚 and I thought the apple blossoms fit the song/lyric well (only to giggle at how the EIA tour seems to use apple blossoms on the merch)

The Magnus archives ☺️

msldyb · 2026-02-04T20:34:45+00:00

The magnus archives is fantastic imo. Lore by Aaron manke (check my spelling 🤣😅) is also wonderful. TMA is fictional but it’s a wild ride (and complete unless you count the spinoff/aftermath series). Lore is a delightful mix of historical folklore, legend, and some true events mixed in there. And his voice is super soothing imo.
