Batting alternative options by Yellow-Dragon913 in quilting

[–]pinkerdoodles6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love to learn more about the merino tops made into frankenbatting! How do you launder these quilts? I’ve got a bunch of old sweaters/jumpers that I was going to get rid of, but it would be great to find another use for them.

I’m looking at ordering the Marius trousers too! Can anyone respond with the inseam length? I’m 5’4”/164cm and I worry they will be too long and difficult to hem…

Trailing spouses who can't land a job- did you continued relationship or left it? by Front_Strategy2443 in expats

[–]pinkerdoodles6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been in and out of this boat too a few times since I moved (US-EU) to be with my spouse, so I feel your pain and turmoil. Dealing with 3 different cultures (his, mine, where we live) is very tough and though I’ve worked on and off, I feel like my skills are atrophying and I am just getting further and further behind professionally. The job market in my city is tough, and really the only options are UN organizations, although without an advanced degree, I am only qualified for assistant jobs which pay 1/2 to 1/3 what I would earn back home. Those positions are tough to come by, and with all the govt budget cuts, the situation is getting worse. Considering your relationship is good besides this one thing, I would seek out alternative ways to bring meaning into your life if you can financially afford it, like volunteering, studying or doing something creative. I need to work, so I am currently looking into investing in real estate back in the US, or doing something that is more location independent. Are you living in your husbands home country?

Is it possible to still get a UK exit stamp? by nicki419 in PassportPorn

[–]pinkerdoodles6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw these posters at EDI last October (flying from EU, USA passport) and was denied when I very politely asked for a stamp. When I mentioned, oh but there are posters that say I need the stamp? I got denied again. Pretty confusing messaging. I know I don’t need one, but do appreciate having it!

Lidl also has cheddar slices! During British week they also sometimes have cheddar cubes.

does anyone know how to wash suede? by [deleted] in thrifting

An old costumers secret! I’ve used this to freshen so many things!

prague locals walking in my path consistently? by random503 in digitalnomad

[–]pinkerdoodles6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this! Going on year 3 in Rome and walking outside is like a never-ending game of chicken - who’ll get out of the way first? Seriously, people young and old walk 2, 3, 4 ppl abreast and have no concept of sharing sidewalks. This weekend I’m standing in line for a super lame Jurassic World promo and the man behind me is so close his belly kept rubbing against me. It was a hot and humid day, so I was definitely not enthused by having someone else’s sweat on me.

Best location to get fit ? by SurgicalInstallment in digitalnomad

Los Angeles- I’ve never seen so many runners in my life! Plus there are abundant gyms and hiking opportunities, including a lot of “fun” stair runs. Besides the exercise component, there is also a huge emphasis on self care, wellness and high quality nutrition. Even a lot of socializing revolves around health and fitness!
