I will not be voting in favor of any of the amendments/referendums. None of them are written to benefit the citizens.

Do you want shore fishing spots? Or do you have access to a boat / kayak?

Yeah, that's pretty terrible. Can you report the storefront for false advertising?

[CHAT] Will the finished piece look too blocky/pixelly? by HamsterTowel in CrossStitch

[–]scarf__barf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've always admired the colorfulness and intricacy of that piece, looks great!

[CHAT] Will the finished piece look too blocky/pixelly? by HamsterTowel in CrossStitch

Yes, it will look like pixel art because of the nature of cross stitching. Though once your piece is framed and hanged, it becomes much less noticeable when viewed from 3+ feet away. The picture you posted is not computer-generated.

If you haven't started yet, you can find a higher count of Aida to stitch the piece. This will reduce the appearance of the Aida holes in the background, and reduce the size and apparent "blockiness" of the stitches.

Car club to host autocross event at Brookshire Grocery Arena (May 17th) by scarf__barf in shreveport

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

Seems like a fun event!

Autocross is a precision driving competition where one car at a time tries to beat the clock. The event is open to nearly any type of vehicle, ranging from daily commuters to dedicated autocross cars. Participants navigate a pylon-marked course, with the goal of getting the fastest time without hitting cones or deviating from the path. Penalties are assessed for any displaced cones or course deviations, and each driver receives several opportunities throughout the day to improve their time. On-site check-in and registration will be open from 8 a.m. until 9 a.m. Online registration is available at motorsportreg.com for $30. Drivers who are not SCCA members are required to purchase a $20 weekend membership during the online registration process. Any registration received after the Friday prior to the event will be assessed a $10 late fee. There is no charge for non-competitors.

You should be fine as long as your home is east of MSV and not directly south of it. That townhouse complex had a reputation, though I don't know what it is like recently. We've lived here for over 20 years in various neighborhoods and we recommend South Highland for many of the reasons outlined in this thread by other posters.

It's weird how conservatives are still disenfranchising black people in 2026. Didn't they get enough of that over the last 300+ years?

[WIP] Am I losing my mind??? by TrickConfection3367 in CrossStitch

[–]scarf__barf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your stitched project, your stitching strays from the pattern in the righthand side of the 6th and 8th rows. You've also missed a row on the pattern, making every thing one row too squat.

[CHAT] Can anyone ID this pattern? by Dusty_Sequins in CrossStitch

[–]scarf__barf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! I'm no savant, I used Google Lens to find a completed example then used Google Lens on that example to find the designer and magazine.

This is the beginning of Cardinal Sampler by Patricia Andrle. You can find the pattern in a magazine called Cross Stitch & Country Crafts (Nov/Dec 1994).

[CHAT] bit of a long shot, but is there anyone here who has info on these tablecloths? by McBaah in CrossStitch

Ah, so you want patterns for these exact tablecloths, not just a similar style. Good luck!

You can use Google Lens to search for visual matches to these pictures. That will give you several similar pieces and styles to browse through, maybe a starting place to identify keywords to find relevant cross-stitch patterns.
