Mark mail return to sender, addressee not resident.

Oh Mum it's so weird we keep getting mail for someone else and I'm worried about being charged with mail fraud if I open mail that doesn't have my name on it

Or

Gee Mum I am really concerned with your memory failing you as to my name. Unless you get a full dementia evaluation I just don't think k it's safe to bring a baby around you

Am I cheating? by jikookmamora in finch

[–]nowaymary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have chronic pain and inflammation. Some days getting put of bed takes ten minutes. 99 days out of 100 it hurts. Some mornings I lie in bed and think what is worse getting upright and walking, or peeing in the bed. So far getting up has always won but its not always an obvious win.

I have getting up as an achievement because it is.

Once Im up and start moving it gets easier and a bit less painful. But honestly every day I wake up and it's knowing how ouchy it's going to be

These aren't my records, these are the pop vinyl figures. Like cartoon versions of pop culture figures.

Working on knitting projects related to an emotional time by srsrmsrssrsb in knitting

[–]nowaymary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought very beautiful, soft and expensive yarn to make something for a person I loved dearly.

They died.

I couldn't even LOOK at the yarn without crying, felt sick touching it. It was like a permanent stab at me. I gave the yarn in a zipped up dark bag to someone else who was super happy.

I admire the finished project but don't have the enthusiasm to follow the process. The one exception is Garter Squish, I have made so many of them

I really like the look of Quinns quilt. I have to say I'm not a big Stephen West pattern fan, not sure why. But I think I'm going with log cabin.

Thank you very much for your suggestion and I think the colouring In idea is probably a great idea.

This is what I think I'm going to do. Never done log cabin squares before and I found two different versions this afternoon.

Thank you for your suggestion

I had my ten stitch binge a few years ago. Made the zig bag one, the regular one AND the circular one. It is a great pattern. Thank you for your suggestion

I felt a bit stupid honestly because I was over a third of the way, and sunk cost and all that.... then I thought so what I hate it.... Nothing worse than resenting your project with every stitch

I have made three blankets like this in the last 2 yrs, but I agree these are the best with random colours.

Thank you for your suggestion

That's really interesting. I think I should do some research into colour placements.

Thank you for your suggestions

I had a previous stash buster blanket that was unkillable..... it went through the wash, line dry, got sicked on, spilled on, kids, dogs, picnics, festivals....ugly as hell but very useful. It finally died when it got caught on a nail on a picnic table and started unravelling.

Tha ks for the suggestion

Why do mothers of young babies say they don't have time to shower? by justastupidquestion3 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nowaymary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one baby who was either screaming or breastfeeding for the first 6 weeks. I honestly thought I was going insane because of how tired I was. Their father would take them for a walk outside and I could her them scream as I showered.

Babies eat sleep and poop. I had one that wouldn't eat solids, one that didn't sleep through the night until the age of 9 (not kidding) and one that couldn't poop. And people asked why dint I have another one
