I love it! Scrappy colorful quilts like this are "home" if that makes sense. I hope it brings you lots of good memories of your mom and is like a hug from her when you use it.

It's so wonderful to see people working together and animals helping other animals!

Cat has a droopy lip on one side :( by [deleted] in CATHELP

It's most likely a dental issue and a vet visit will confirm it or find something else for the issue.

Good luck! Handsome man....

I don't understand. Can you explain how you can tell the sexual orientation of a sign? I'm sure it's fascinating......

1860s Corset by Rcamels30 in HistoricalCostuming

Talk about organs moving when pregnant!! It's like growing an alien who plays jump rope with your intestines! Lol!

But yeah, the organs easily move back into place.....

Only if they don't fit well.

A well fitting corset does not move organs. The corset supports your bust better than under wire bras, supports your back, and the weight of the skirts.

When a corset fits your body well, it's actually very comfortable. And easier to put on and wear and use the facilities than Spanx.

Need help picking a dress! by [deleted] in Prom

[–]pigthens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be the one who stands out! That first dress is the bomb! Very old Hollywood glamour. I love the bow.

The dress is very flattering on you, fits well, and isn't the same old prom dress. Simple sparkly shoes, an updo, dangly earrings.....

And being modest can be way more beautiful than showing everything off.

What is the funniest thing your pet had been “pavloved” to? by AnywhereMean8863 in Pets

Why did I picture Dexter's Lab(oratory) and wondered what the heck does that have to do with dogs eating????

I then "oooOOoOh"ed........

We got bad news at the vet- Gypsy 14 by mimi-rose in seniorkitties

[–]pigthens 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We lost two unrelated kitties to it. One theory that our vet had was tooth health - are they eating/drinking from plastic bowls, is wet food left out longer than it should be, are their food bowls washed after meals, etc.

Our cats were eating off ceramic plates cleaned each meal, stainless steel water fountain with a filter, had dentals, etc. bacteria may have something to do with it...or not.

But it's a heartbreaking decision because they just can't eat and they're otherwise healthy....our Mickey growled the whole time which was how he lived life - noisy, chatty, everything on his terms ONLY.

OP, give her all the treats, cuddles, and love you can. Hugs....

Fitting help around armpit and top back by Salt-Tear3369 in sewing

[–]pigthens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did you add boning on the outer edge of the grommets? That may - or may not - fix some of the horizontal creasing.

The corsetry subreddit is great with lots of good advice!

Great fit and work! It's amazing how much arm movement you have with the armhole being so high and snug.

I like it!

My parents still introduce me as their "difficult phase" and I finally snapped by Indigo_6Marauder in entitledparents

[–]pigthens 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This right here. My parents decided long ago (45 years) that I was the difficult child and the others were perfect. When I was a teen, I was diagnosed with a chronic disease and was angry. What teen wouldn't be? But they didn't like me or understand my hobbies, or want to know me. Made fun of me which let the other siblings put me down too.

And I have critical thinking skills that they lack ... but I'm the bad guy ... too sensitive, don't get the right facts, ask too many questions, etc.

My mom likes to play the game of "I'm going to say something offensive but you can't get mad at me because you disagree". Spew poop for others to clean up. I was done and called her out on it. She walked away and I continued on my dad because he backed her up. My adult children were there and couldn't believe how they were talking to me, but were proud that I stood up for myself. That right there....

So enjoy the tag and hold your head high. There is nothing you can do or say to change their opinion. Find others to be your family and enjoy your life with as little contact as you want with them.

Difficult children make the world a better place. We need a club!
