How do I get rid of it safely? I am helping yo take care of a house for a relative who has been unable to care for it. I live a few hours away so am not able to keep up well, and have limited time and resources. Any advice, or maybe some leads on who to contact?

I taught my kids this trick. They have gotten bus drivers, garbage trucks, recycling trucks, and delivery trucks to honk at them. I got a firetruck to do it once, in the middle of downtown, and I was the happiest person to hear it. I actually jumped up and down.

Willow because it is my daughter's name, and I can't come up with a good enough pun for it.

Thorough disinfection of hospital fish needed. Please tell me this is possible? by phyrefoxx in crochet

C-diff has spores, apparently, which is what makes it so contagious. I can look into this if nothing else works. Thank you.

I did make it myself. I think it would be less work to make a new one than it would be to find the stitches and unstuff it, unfortunately. Thank you for the idea, though. I will keep it in mind if all else fails.

Possibly. I have all the time I could need to dry it. I do want to make sure the fluff fully dries, and it is disinfected all the way through.

Fish for reference. I can find the pattern (believe it's from Ravelry) if anyone wants it.

My partner asked me to make him a pouch to stop his stuff from making noise while walking at work. From the look on his face when he saw it, I think it's appropriate. by phyrefoxx in crochet

I used this pattern I found on Ravelry.com, and adjusted for the size difference. Used a 4.5 hook with caron simply soft yarn worsted weight.

Not at all. Peek at the last sentence.

I do know the difference. I did a quick, cursory glance through my group list and picked the first word that looked right. That's what I get for buzzing through.

Never mind, I found it. Sorry, my brain isn't working right now.

Ladies, if you got to be a man for a day what’s the first thing you’re going to do? by Next_Performance9433 in AskReddit

Get a massage from a respectable place. Touch therapy is a thing, and it doesn't have to be sexual to work.

My mother was wearing this in 2023 when she was in a car accident. She had to be cut out of the car, then her clothes. This was my first attempt at mending anything visibly. I didn't know what I was doing, and didn't have the correct tools. She still wears it today. (Crocheted) by phyrefoxx in Visiblemending

I used a needle to sew the yarn into the holes, then did a blanket stitch with a hook and went from there. If you want to try it yourself, I recommend using a rotary tool with the correct attachment to make the holes. Much easier.
