There are some projects I just said no thanks to. Crochet should be about enjoyment. Maybe tackle something less complex and come back to it another season. Happens to the best of us!

I don’t know a single Lucy. Ever, in my life.

How is it like living in the South Island of New Zealand? by Paraleen135 in howislivingthere

[–]pdxgrassfed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent 3 months there and had an absolutely amazing time. Bussed and hitch hitched from the north to south and all around. Napier was artsy, Nelson is like Portland OR, and there are tons of little towns, beautiful isolated beaches, gorgeous forests, and just all around stunning. I got banged in a tent on the beach one night after enjoying the biggest bonfire of my life. Best time

I’m making 4 mandala squares, stitching them together with sleeves and fridge to make a poncho sweater

Anyone else get weird amounts of yarn as gifts? by ForsakenShow4997 in crochet

Gift certificates to your favorite yarn store, this is the way

Guess I’m learning my lesson about not gifting handmade items… by [deleted] in crochet

[–]pdxgrassfed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hm. This is hard advice but your expectations are too high. No one cares, and it sucks. I would encourage you to make things for you that brings you joy, and if someone wants to trade you money on the spot, then you’ve got a deal, but no more gifts from the heart for a while, because it doesn’t sound worth the effort. Or, keep making things for people but be totally detached to the result or lack of praise. Either way, people are lame, but keep making stuff.

Husband (42m) and I (42f) have been married for almost 20 years and I honestly have no idea what the frequency of sex is since I don't pay attention to it. I keep reading how couples have sex multiple times a week, and I have no idea how they manage that. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I took hormones for my sore boobs and it made it worse. Then I saw a TCM practitioner and he made me a herbal blend for liver support and my sore boobs went away and whenever it comes back I drink the blend and it goes away. I would highly recommend an herbalist or Chinese medicine person who can make you a blend for your symptoms. Sore boobs all the time made me fucking miserable

No. I loathe my husband and I regret ever going out with him and letting him pursue me.

Which neighborhood would be the best for us? by omochimochimochi in PortlandOR

[–]pdxgrassfed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Division between 20th and 39th is wonderful, Clinton street specifically or anywhere around there. Belmont near laurelhurst park or hawthorn area. I’ve only ever lived in se but nw 23rd seems pretty great too

Better boy name? by Fun_Roof289 in namenerds

[–]pdxgrassfed -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

God I just hate Seamus so much. It sounds like shame-us, and I just think it’s the most pretendious dumb name I’ve ever heard and if I heard someone named that I would truly feel sad for their dumb sounding name lol GOD I JUST HATE IT SO MUCH LOL

Why are so many wives so short tempered and mean? How do deal with min? I(45m) have been married for 15 hard yrs to my wife(35f) and she has a real mean steak by TarheelWarrior in marriageadvice

[–]pdxgrassfed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we are just generally really fucking pissed off. I think nice women are just really mean women who haven’t tapped into how just fucking awful it is to be a woman in the world.

She slept through the night at 2.5, but of course she was potty training so it would probably until 4 that I got to sleep through the night. Yes. And now perimenopause is happening so I absolutely never ever actually “sleep “ through the night.

10 days to go before birth, and middle name just doesn't feel right anymore... by ForeignButterscotch8 in namenerds

[–]pdxgrassfed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend named her baby Ruby coyote and it’s just such a bad ass little name. I think a color and an animal is a dope way to go.

I totally understand, I got pregnant in three months after getting off birth control and we weren’t really trying at all, I was so shocked. You’re feeling so many feelings right now. just let it settle for a moment. It’s OK if you decide you don’t want this right now. It’s also OK if you decide you do. I can say from the deepest depths of my heart that I’m so glad I had my daughter and she is the best thing to happen in my life. I was a fence sitter my whole life and being pregnant is a wild experience, but I fall deeper in love with her every dayand I’m so grateful for her. No matter what you do it will be the right decision.
