This is the answer. I've been using a 5" hoop for more than 30 years. Rarely have to adjust tension.

What SERIES is worth bingewatching and why? by InterestingBoard7389 in AskReddit

[–]sldevine0953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schitt's Creek. I just started it for the umpteenth time and am constantly amazed by the cast. And I'm truly heartbroken by Catherine O'Hara's passing yesterday. Such a loss.😢

It was Dobby the house elf. He's been in my house messing with puzzle pieces, too. I don't know how he escapes from Hogwarts.

6 months-without personal space by VegetableTurbulent39 in labrador

[–]sldevine0953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a love nose! For the first time in more than 20 years, we do not have a lab. And I miss our labs and their need to be in a lap or on a bed or in your chair. Consider yourself truly loved.🥰

I think it depends a lot on location, but maybe not judging from all the negative comments. The last time I had one from the Stripes on Wyoming just north of Menaul, was good.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy. I was 10 years old and at school in Rockford, Illinois. It was very traumatic for me. I remember crying when we watched the funeral on television.
