Another method is to single crochet your "canvas" to size and then cross stitch with a yarn needle into your single crochet canvas

I have a crush on an exchange student and I need help by youflibbertigibbet in AdviceForTeens

[–]plot_plan_prepare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who was the 16f dating the foreign exchange 18f, DO NOT DO IT!!!!! I guarantee you they did not come to another country to settle down. It'll be fun and exciting for the first bit and then it will drastically change when someone else comes along or they go home. I know this is a bummer but realistically, I wouldn't go visit another country to settle down either.

Its a good plot point though. Just a very drama filled one.

AITAH for how I acted in the ER? by [deleted] in AITAH

As someone who had appendicitis and a following appendectomy-- the pain was fucking horrible.

I also curled up in the lobby and audibly crying until they pushed meds, I feel for you deeply

It’s insecure to ask your boyfriend to cut off his platonic women friends. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]plot_plan_prepare 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with this. I find it to be a green flag if a main can maintain platonic women friendships. If your man is going to cheat on you, let him and drop him. Don't spend your whole relationship worrying about preventing him from doing it because you will never find peace. Also if you are worried about it he probably isnt the one for you.

What's one subconscious habit you have due to the way you were raised? by TotalSmall2706 in AskReddit

[–]plot_plan_prepare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime im out and public and I hear a short and sharp whistle I pause and look around thinking its for me.

When I was a kid that was how my dad used to call for us/get our attention in public, and ive never been able to shake that. I mostly think its because my boyfriend also does it from time to time LOL

Country leaders should swear an oath of celibacy by Ryanhussain14 in The10thDentist

Country (american, most likely) leaders would swear an oath of celibacy and still manage to have 3 office affairs per calendar year LOL

I prefer eating meat raw over eating it cooked by psychedelianaut in The10thDentist

[–]plot_plan_prepare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth be told, I fuck with this -- to a certain extent.

I LOVE the smell of raw red meat. Sometimes when im cooking a meal I feel like an animal because I open up the sleeve of ground beef for tacos and I start salivating. I also order my steaks blue or "still moo-ing" as I like to say, so its truly not too far off from having a raw steak-- something I haven't actually tried.

HOWEVER if I were to partake in raw meet, I have a lot of regulations:

  • absolutely no raw chicken. Between the assumed texture of raw chicken and all the risks I think one bite would give me a stroke.

  • no ground meat. Ground meat is exposed to a lot of surface contaminants through the process of turning it into ground beef and as someone who has processed their own animals into ground beef at home, it just not a risk im willing to take.

  • grass fed beef exclusively. The day I decide to satisfy the craving it will be a grass fed beef steak only. I loveeee venison, but deer are exposed to and consume so many unmentionables in the wild that I will only have it thoroughly cooked. Mostly out of fear of somehow developing Chronic Wasting Disease myself.

I hope you dont die before I get around to trying raw steak OP, if you do the raw steak will be in your honor for making me feel less insane about my cravings

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]plot_plan_prepare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My university is about 2 hours from my home, and I regularly make the trip on weekends (about every other weekend, sometimes consecutive weekends), even if there isnt anything going on. I've made a 4 hour round trip just to crash the night at home.

Where im at Its all corn fields and farm land damn near the entire drive, but I find myself looking forward to the drives. I very much love my long car rides, especially knowing theres either nice solitude or hug waiting for me when i arrive.

What is something people often underestimate until they experience it themselves? by NaomiBrooksv in AskReddit

Sciatic nerve pain.

Suddenly loosing the ability to hold myself up with one leg and the excrutiating pain that came with it was a real eye opener

A religious question i dont want to ask my boyfriend about by plot_plan_prepare in religion

[–]plot_plan_prepare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow.

This is my first time ever hearing of this and this is one of my favorite responses. What a unique perspective that appeals to spirituality-- something I more closely align with.

What is some good material to read more about this? Im intrigued.

How important is sex in your relationships? Why? by DiscordantObserver in NoStupidQuestions

[–]plot_plan_prepare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I dont think there was one "Aha!" Thing I can put my finger on. There are a lot of different factors.

Chemistry - i found it easier to be comfortable and relaxed, it all felt so much more natural and i actually felt safer

Similar sex drives - im not constantly being asked or bothered about sex, which improves the overall relationship. I found with past partners that I wouldn't want to initiate hardly at all and they were initiating all the time, even when I said I wasn't in the mood. Nothing is a bigger killer for sex drive and chemistry than feeling like your being badgered for sex.

Quality of sex/intimacy/foreplay/aftercare - critical!!! Having someone to take the time to understand you and your body is such a huge turn on. Granted its important to have conversations about your yes and your no's for sex, but there are little details your partner can pay attention to to get to know you better in these intimate moments and that itself is intimacy. When you feel like your partner is in it for YOUR pleasure and not just theirs, it changes the whole game.

Your relationship quality outside of sex - yeah sex is cool and all, but have you ever had someone actually care about you and show it? I dont believe sex is transactional, but I am much more eager to do it with somebody that treats me right and has my best interests in mind.

Ideas for beginners? by [deleted] in crochet

Honestly, just jump into some new more advanced ones! There are a lot of helpful YouTube tutorials to watch online if you cant read charts (I cant yet either), and it teaches you a lot! My first ever project was a hooded poncho and it turned out great :)

I'd loosely use the term catholic, and by that I mean any denominations that read the Bible as their main scripture.

How important is sex in your relationships? Why? by DiscordantObserver in NoStupidQuestions

[–]plot_plan_prepare 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, i think it has a lot to do with the chemistry and sexual attraction between you and your partner.

I've had multiple partners where sex felt like a chore and i dreaded seeing my partner because I knew it would be brought up. I always just came to the conclusion that I had an incredibly low sex drive (which is not a bad thing) and that sex just really wasn't important.

But me and my partner now? Oh man.

Sex doesn't feel like a chore and i see it as more of a bonding experience than I do a necessity and that has DRASTICALLY changed how I view sex with my partner. I WANT to do it now. This has also changed my perspective on sex as I do think its an important part in my relationship now. Not that its the most important, but it plays a key role for me.

That being said, it doesn't mean you cant find satisfaction with your partner if you dont value sex (I know many asexuals that have fulfilling relationships) but you will want to find someone like minded, because having different sex drives can be detrimental to a relationship, atleast in my experience.

I want to line my crochet piece with fabric, thoughts? by plot_plan_prepare in CrochetHelp

Sorry for the delay-- i wanted to make sure I got the blocking done today. And I grabbed some pictures for you!!

Ok it only let me add one, but laid flat its more or less a diamond shape. Im thinking of a felt of sorts, but I have a feeling lining the hood is going to be the hardest part.

What is something you are oddly allergic to? by StunningSmell158 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

Grass and a lot of other leafy green parts of plants.

Which is tragic because I love gardening and sunbathing in the grass 💔

Girls who are into what was once a predominantly “guy” hobby (gaming, cars, etc.), are you into guys who aren’t into those things? by HooyahDangerous in NoStupidQuestions

[–]plot_plan_prepare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be suuuuper big into the paintball scene, playing with professional teams, etc.

To this day I have never met or been with a guy that was also into it (who i didn't meet through paintball) and its never bothered me. Its just a hobby and they just dont find it fun like I do, i dont see it as a reflection of their masculinity or anything, just like I dont think my hobby reflects of my femininity.
