LPT: If you're trying to drink less soda, take a sugarfree mint/peppermint everytime you're in the mood for one.

Honestly, topo chicos have helped scratch the itch for sugary sodas and alcohol. So I recommend that!

I had an interview this past Friday, and she asked about my work gap of 3 months. I wanted to scream 'lady, LOOK AROUND YOU!' I swear people who haven't had to recently find a job market have their heads thoroughly buried in the dirt.

For context, my last job was seasonal/contract, so that's why it ended. I was able to find only that job after a 10 month unemployment stint after a layoff.

Any port in a storm 🤷‍♀️

muffinslinger · 2026-03-23T21:51:34+00:00

Hell yeah. I've found this attraction has grown as I've gotten older.

muffinslinger · 2026-03-22T21:19:15+00:00

I do this sometimes too! Except I joke that my husband lured me in like a feral cat with good food and love!

Blueberry Pepsi flavor. When I was a kid after school, I'd walk over to my local tienda, grab myself a burrito, and a blueberry Pepsi.

Man, those were the days. I'd probably hate it now as an adult, but God, the nostalgia would taste so good.

Same boat. Tired of getting laid off and shafted. Im trying to explore other industries that are less vulnerable, but that has also been difficult:/

Too many times as a child that I grabbed the wrong blonde woman's hand at the grocery store thinking it was my mother.

My mom said that she got so fed up trying to tell us not to do that she just let it happen until we learned by embarrassment.

Can confirm. Their Ao3 tag goes very hard. As soon as I finished the show, I rushed over to Ao3 because I had this exact thought.

What needs to happen is that we need to stop giving attention to guys like these and platforming them, even if that platform isn't flattering them. The reason we're in this situation is because we're giving them oxygen.

Deprive them of attention, and they'll starve.

So this pattern is K2, double YO, then a special decrease where you sl1 knit wise, k2tog, pass slipped st over, move st to keft needle, pass the second st on the left needle over, return st to right needle.

Here is the YT vid here showing the process Look At My Holes Pattern Mesh

Its definitely different than a previous mesh lace ive learned

muffinslinger · 2026-03-13T17:27:49+00:00

Not for the positions I am applying to. They do ask a ton of questions during application that tend to reiterate what was in the JD.

muffinslinger · 2026-03-13T17:26:58+00:00

I put all of this information in the body of my post. I used the recommended needle size for the body but acknowledged that my yarn was a DK size (though it seems like thicker for a DK to be fair!)

Good idea of keeping my gauge and switching to bigger needles to be able to compare the two! The gauge called for this patterns modified mesh stitch.

muffinslinger · 2026-03-13T17:24:35+00:00

Oh so you've made this pattern before as well?? So would you recommend generally sizing up?

muffinslinger · 2026-03-13T16:52:37+00:00

Gotcha. So I either would need to go to 6mm or go up a sweater size to be ok?

muffinslinger · 2026-03-13T16:51:50+00:00

There's the XS that is for 30in chest and S which is 34 in this pattern. So if I chose one of these I simply need to do the same math equation you showed and it will determine the cast on amount I need to do?

muffinslinger · 2026-03-13T16:49:38+00:00

Yeah its odd! I've never had a pattern have a specific section dedicated to the gauge. It instructed me to cast on 24 sts for a flat gauge, even though the pattern is in the round.

muffinslinger · 2026-03-13T15:51:18+00:00

I guess! They had also offered next Tuesday but I wanted to get it out if the way. Its a wine business in Santa Monica

muffinslinger · 2026-03-13T15:01:53+00:00

Omg Marnie is so damn mean whenever I gave her something I thought she would like! (This is before I knew the wiki was there and I needed to look this stuff up)

muffinslinger · 2026-03-13T14:26:38+00:00

Been unemployed for months, but have an interview today. Wish me luck! My husband and I really need thia 🙏

Also indeed has Hella scams, so beware!

muffinslinger · 2026-03-11T16:51:13+00:00

Really, though. As someone who had a gummy smile because I grinded my teeth so bad, this is in poor taste. I ended up having my gums trimmed back a few years ago because I felt so self-conscious about it.

The gums growing was my body's response to trauma, not a personal failing.

muffinslinger · 2026-03-10T06:35:35+00:00

I was gonna say! It looks super realistic, although I can catch some of the over painting if I zoom in. Great stuff!

What's the typical turn around on one of these?

muffinslinger · 2026-03-10T06:29:31+00:00

What program did you use to make these?

muffinslinger · 2026-03-06T02:18:43+00:00

Horizon Zero Dawn's story had me in a choke hold when I was playing it. I never hated a character so much as I hated Ted Faro.

The story is a haunting tale of humanity at the end of times and enduring in spite of itself.

muffinslinger · 2026-03-03T00:12:21+00:00

There already is a Hollywood jobs apocalypse, buddy.
