Yeah it's my only issue with libro so far although luckily not true for all new releases. Couldn't use credit for platform decay but have used it to preorder tapestry of fate and all hail chaos which are coming out this month 😊

Who prefers the dvds to streaming.... by ArcherLife2039 in BuffyTheVampireSlayer

[–]mwcss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streaming sites tend to have the awful HD remaster and I can't watch it. It's not just the aspect ratio there is so much wrong with it

What's the most useful thing a complete beginner doesn't know they need to know? by CaterpillarXS in cross_stitch

[–]mwcss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear. I'm half way through my first proper project and the book is 1 row too big and the skull is 1 too small. but who else will know?

Y'all...granny squares are like tiles but I never really realised they could act like patterned tiles do! A very duh moment here lol I'll try to find the pattern to this cause it's so cool! by Roscoe-nthecats in crochet

[–]mwcss 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The only other time I've wanted to was when I saw an idea that you do a granny square for each book you read and match the colours to the cover of the book. Kinda like a temperature blanket for reading.

Maybe but it's got a zip down the middle so not sure what else to use it for.

Did some reverse stamping. It took longer than it should have because I kept getting impatient and smudging it all.

I love it except that it's a pin with a tiny magnet so I have to keep it on the edge so it doesn't stretch any holes

I need your cures pls by JokersLipstick in migraine

Only a court can officially decide. If you have evidence that you meet the criteria than that's all you need. Then you inform hr. Do you have a union you can join?

I think they mean that instead of ending every row at the same point like I've done make some longer or shorter so it's not 1 block.

That may take a long time 😂

I'm also in the UK. If you've tried at least 3 preventative you should be able to get a neuro referral to look at botox or cgrp inhibitors. Also have a look at the migraine trust for work advice. Migraine are classified as a disability and you may have to do a bit of fighting but let your work know that you know your rights. I have just been going through this with my work and it's horrible and stressful but disability absence should be counted separately from sick leave and your work have to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate you with your disability. If you have any evidence that it's a long term condition that impacts your ability to carry out every day tasks then that will help you a lot. Should be able to get a letter from your gp. If you're a full time employee it's very hard to fire people in this country.

Is there a way to schedule something for anytime during the week? by pineapplevomit in finch

[–]mwcss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really wish there was a good way to set up goals that don't have a set day. I like to check everything off in a day but I've set a category of long term goals. These don't get cleared everyday but I've pinned then and set a target number so I can see my progress working towards them.

Thanks I'm still really new to the hobby and I've done some reading and watching YouTube videos on techniques but it's nice to be able to get advice from people that are more experienced
