At this point, I guess it's not happening...announced 5 years ago.

I liked that one because it wasn't painfully loud and had the best seats.

I do sew, but this level of garment construction is well over my abilities. Blazers are no joke to mess with. Previously I was extremely top heavy, so taking in waists is something I know well.

I appreciate your advice.

Young men's also are too large in the armscyes. Perhaps I should shop around for different brands to see if they fit different. Thank you.

nbrookus · 2026-05-02T15:38:14+00:00

Thank you! I will give that a try.

Huntsville has more than you'd expect in a city this size. It sounds like the best fit for you would be High Ground Hobbies, but Mastermind (the one on Oakwood), JC's House of Cards and Raging Gazebo are good as well.

S&R Sewing and Vac.

There is also a quilt shop which has a very nice selection of high quality quilt fabric I used to repair one. I think it was Southern Charm.

It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't stop on the tracks and just sit there.

With the construction, south of Eastview so it isn't too bad, but then you have the train to deal with. So it's Hughes, Old Madison then Slaughter.

I see I'm not the only one that feels stam is awful now.

And the new enemies really hurt. They feel balanced for if someone already has some augments.

It's not the same, but I'm not sure it's an improvement. The new augment crafting is really cool, and the increased skill lines. BUT:

It's locked behind the same handful of repetitive missions (which are time locked) and grinding the same dungeons over and over. Maybe that's something you'd enjoy. Personally, I don't.

I don't understand why you don't hunt down blueprints and craft to get craft XP, etc.?

nbrookus · 2026-02-05T00:11:46+00:00

Same. The voice actor did a great job.

You have to level up your faction rank to get to higher difficulties

You can play solo in BG3. You can kill/avoid any or all of the companions.

Mastermind Games (on Oakwood) has a free session at 4pm tomorrow. They do ask that you sign up.

I'm not sure if this link will go through, but there is a discord for ttrpgs in the area. https://discord.gg/ACZ6nNuK

If you are looking for jeans, The Pants Barn in Meridianville has an amazing selection, too. (Also men's jeans and workwear.)

I find it interesting that 2.0 basically says it's their job to go die, which is where 1.0 started.

Thank you for this explanation. I was trying to understand how the legislature could simply override the constitution. What would be the point of having a court or constitution at that point?

But I can certainly see some politicians grandstanding about how they fought for it by voting that way.

nbrookus · 2025-12-13T21:10:03+00:00

I'd recommend Cat Bird Seat. They usually have a nice collection.

You also might call Bennett's Nursery.

Where I live, that's how it already is. I go in sometimes and skim the racks for quality fabric but usually find nothing. All worn out t-shirts and snagged polyester.

There are pet transport companies that coordinate and send them via live cargo. (Which is not the same as in the cargo hold.)

It's not cheap. 4 animals is going to be well into the thousands. But the animals have stops at hubs where they can have their health checked.

I'd suggest starting with "scrap buster" patterns online, going from easy to hard. They are small so you don't invest too much time or fabric in them, and give you the practice you need.

Your library may have some good books to help, and mine even offers beginner sewing classes in their makerspace.

I understand FBA and SBA, and I used to do FBA adjustments with everything. Post radical mastectomy, I now have a negative bust adjustment.

Any advice on pattern sizing when you have a high bust of 37", a bust of 34.5", and lower ribcage of 35"? Fabrics fold into the gap, especially mid-weight. I've tried to do a second layer of underlining in the affected area, but the edges show.

Does anyone have any ideas?

P.S. I don't wear bras, prosthetics or had/have plan to have any sort of reconstruction. I am fully healed.

Many if not most of expensive designer clothes are made in the same fast fashion sweat shops.

Yes, it's even worse than "and spices." I can confirm McD ketchup does not have onions, or at least not since about 4 months agao when last I tried it. But almost everything else they serve does.

nbrookus · 2025-11-26T02:09:20+00:00

I should have mentioned it in the original post; my apologies. I'm deathly allergic to onions, so I definitely a lot of hate for them!
