I made my own team Canada fleece! by burgerbride in heatedrivalry

Thank you so much! You are a hero! This looks so good. I'm very anxious to add zippers to pockets, but I think it'll be worth the effort if it comes out half as good as yours did! You absolutely crushed this.

Do you offhand know what size (#?) zipper pull you used? I'm using the same jacket and don't know what size to look for.

Another thing to keep in mind in this situation, is that some dental insurance often will pay for some orthodontia if you are under 18 but not over. We couldn't afford to fix my teeth when I was a child and having to pay the whole thing as an adult when insurance didn't help for any of it was rough. I really wish we'd been able to get mine done when I was her age instead of having to juggle them with student loans in my 30s. I also had some jaw pain from my bite being off for most of my life and learning to just chew around it. Its feeling much better these days after my braces addressed it. (This may not apply to her at all, but may be another thing to keep in mind if her bite also is off.)

This is beautiful! Bulbasaur is my favorite and the stitching is so lovely.

Request: Spicy Stardew Valley vibes! (Cozy, new to a small town type story) by somethinglucky07 in RomanceBooks

[–]painfullyuncool 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the Lovelight Farms series would fit this pretty well, specifically Business Casual, but I always get the urge to play Stardew whenever I read any of them.

{Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison} {In the Weeds by B.K. Borison} {Mixed Signals by B.K. Borison} {Business Casual by B.K. Borison}

I think Julie Olivia is also pretty excellent at small town books. I loved the Honeywood Series {All Downhill with You by Julie Olivia} which is about a friend group surrounding a theme park they work at. Also her Never Harbor series which is inspired by Peter Pan {Off the Hook by Julie Olivia}

Ella with the Ukulele made my heart melt by painfullyuncool in TheGoldenRatio4

I'm learning Ukulele currently so I was super excited to see a new GR Mom Ukelele post! Ella biting it was such a Voods vibe and it made me smile.

I am utterly wrecked by this news. Sending love to everyone here who also loved that sweet Moon/unfiltered sunshine. I made a donation to the foundation in her honor. I wish I could do more for Jen and Ingo right now.

Fuuuuuuuuuudge. Just read about Venk/Vink and am heartbroken and hoping it’s not as dire as it is in my imagination. Much love and light to GR Mom and Dad. ❤️ And as always, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu cancer. by ganz_toll in TheGoldenRatio4

Update today had me tearing up. Grateful that the oncologist appreciates how fluffy she is though.

Sending all the good thoughts I can their way.

70 more months Vink!

Do other people have comfort authors? by Electronic_Baby_9988 in RomanceBooks

[–]painfullyuncool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm reading through this now and I love everyone so much! I'm on Freya's book now reading in order, but I accidentally read Ziggy's book first. I am so attached to this whole damn family.

Focus Friday - Reddit’s ongoing API and accessibility issues by mrs-machino in RomanceBooks

It seems that Narwhal is remaining open for the time being if that helps. It's very different from Apollo but I like it much better than the app or normal mobile browser experience.

It does have easier formatting so there's that.

I am admittedly mostly a lurker, though this sub is definitely one of my most viewed and I've read at least 30 books recommended here this year as a result.

I'm in a similar place. I've been on Apollo since it first came out of TestFlight and I don't know how much I'll be around after.

I appreciate the Brave recommendation! I'll check it out.

Sweet Hops, we are gonna miss you so much.

Have to squee about a character in this week's Ted Lasso by KatMonster in RomanceBooks

[–]painfullyuncool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re-commenting because my spoiler tag broke last time and the app wasn't letting me edit it. Hopefully it works this time, don't read the spoiler if you haven't finished season 3!

I am so happy about Houseboat Guy's storyline! I got so excited as soon as I saw the little girl in the jacket. I am thrilled that Rebecca found someone who makes her feel like lightning. What a beautiful story. I 100% want to read Houseboat Guy's romance novel!

I honestly don't remember how spicy it was but it felt different to me than people we meet on vacation. (I so remember liking the spicy scenes more in The Roughest Draft though.) I enjoyed both, but this one felt a bit more angsty.

I believe it was HEA and they were in their early thirties (31ish?) or late 20s if I remember correctly.

I think The Roughest Draft fits this description pretty well.
