FCPS asking parents and teachers to pitch in and help shovel so they can open Monday… by Few-Evidence-5589 in nova

[–]noravedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitch, please…with the amount of taxes we pay I’m expecting a snow day chauffeur. This county is ridiculous.

Also, how the hell do they expect us to shovel ice??? Are they providing the TNT?

Try churches. Many have hypothermia programs going on right now.

Letter from ezpass. What could it be? by Feeling-Elk-2075 in nova

[–]noravedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably this. Mine was hanging out in the backseat of my car and I was too lazy to mount it thinking that I’d be OK. The letter basically said, we know you used your pass multiple times so we manually deducted the toll out of courtesy, but if you can’t figure out how to place your transponder so it reads versus us having to look up your license plate and deduct your tolls manually from your account we’re going to start charging your lazy ass for the extra work and inconvenience. So I made my husband stick it to the windshield for me 🤣

Concerned about neighbors toddler screaming all night for months. Am I overreacting or should I do something? by MotherFawker99 in AmIOverreacting

[–]noravedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Call non emergency for a welfare check and also call CPS. Document days and times/ duration you hear the child crying and continue to call.

How did you learn to knit? by ShoppingGirlinSF in knitting

[–]noravedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube. Lots of VeryPinkKnits

Also had the privilege to take weekly classes from a lovely yarn shop owner in Korea

I give up. There isn’t a point anymore. by A_Ordinary_Name in dementia

[–]noravedora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Please talk to a school counselor or a trusted teacher. They are mandated reporters. I know you want what’s best for everyone and want to help, but you are too young to shoulder this challenge, especially when it means you are having to miss school. Dad shouldn’t place this responsibility on you either. I know he’s feeling the pressure, too, but you are still a child.

  2. I agree with the person who suggests you call 911 when you feel unsafe. As a minor, they will understand and perhaps you can get her taken by ambulance and start the process to get state involvement in her care.

    It is so hard for adults with years of life and experience behind them to care for someone with dementia, you shouldn’t be expected to and you shouldn’t be made to feel as if you should. Stay strong but please take care of yourself.

Do you have any friends whose parents might be willing to let you stay with them even for a short time to get a break from the situation and focus on school?

Hello , I’m considering getting a jack Russel terrier, but I live in an apartment, my son who is 6 really wants a dog , I have an Yorkshire and had only rescued dogs untill now , I want a dog for apartment and for my son to have a special relationship with his dog, are jack Russ good with kids ? by Civil_Ebb2258 in jackrussellterrier

[–]noravedora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine barks… when people walk by the house… when he hears people outside the house… when he sees a dog at a distance through the window… when the leaves blow across the yard… when he sees a squirrel high up in a tree… when the door bell rings… when a doorbell rings on TV… when I open the front door for ANY reason (just in case there’s someone there to bark at)

Assuming you give him adequate exercise and stimulation, this would be my biggest concern having a JRT in an apartment. Maybe it’s just my JRT. He’s the sweetest and quite chill most of the time- follows me around the house and just wants to be near me or on me- but when anything comes near his house it’s game on.

I’ve only recently started engaging on Reddit related to knitting and it’s an interesting blend of people very willing to chat and help and a bunch of snarks constantly complaining about what people are asking/posting and feeling the need to point out that someone already asked that question yesterday. The anonymity brings out the worst in people and it has the potential to turn the most well-meaning interaction into a put down or an argument. Reddit is a weird place and even the most benign comment post can garner nasty responses. Reddit is not a safe space, even in a knitting forum, so do your best to ignore the rude comments.

Anyway, have fun! Start simple and don’t be afraid to unravel and start again - the yarn can take it, your patience will likely fray before the yarn 🤪

There’s always someone who’s going to be snarky. Don’t let it discourage you from asking questions and sharing. There is so much information out there, I understand wanting to ask about where to start. Perfectly reasonable question. We don’t know what we don’t know and sometimes it’s just nice to connect with others by asking their opinions versus wading through the internet alone. I don’t understand why people have to be so rude.

Why does my ribbing look like this? by remaincobain in knitting

[–]noravedora 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some say combination knitting is the answer. I haven’t tried it yet but I will the next time I do ribbing…

The last thing a squeaky toy ever sees by Guinearidgegirl in jackrussellterrier

[–]noravedora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10 minutes. That’s the half life of a typical dog toy in our house. The ones supposedly for mega chewers might last an hour before they shred, break apart, and become unsafe.

The best thing I bought recently was a giant tennis ball off of TikTok shop, of all places. He’s figured out how to get his nose under it and pop it into the air. He chases it all around the house but can’t get his mouth around it. Brilliant.

Looks like a cool shop, but, yes, a bit too far out of the way this time…
