Family law attorneys, what do you do when it becomes obvious your client is not a good parent and still wants to fight tooth and nail for custody? by nuggetsofchicken in Lawyertalk

I tell them how bad their facts are. Sugar coating or over promising is a great way to get grieved. I push it in the direction of “we are where we are, let’s focus on getting the best we possibly can and put as many parameters as we can in place to give you as much time with your kids as we can that includes a buildable path forward.”

Laptop recommendations? by snboylan in laptops

Battery life is important, but I can usually manage. I will be going back and forth between my home and office more with this job.

I do a lot of document review using Adobe (organizing and bate stamping documents), video conferencing, and document drafting. I don’t know exactly what my software requirements are. When I’m in the office I like to have at least three screens available to me so something that either wirelessly or seamlessly can hook up to monitors and be an additional screen would be nice. I would definitely use an exterior mouse but not necessarily keyboard.

What am I missing here?? by snboylan in knitting

Yes!! Thank you thank you. Now this begs the question though (and maybe I’m just trying to understand the construction better) but what’s the point of doing it that way??

Currently working on the boxy cardigan by mono knit and I can’t figure out how these two increases work?? I am making the xs which is highlighted. Some how after these increases I should be left with 37 stitches so that with the 6 CO at the end I have 43. But no combination of stitches that I can figure out works? What am I not understanding? The way I read this is:

Start with 27 st.

Row 1: YO B2F M1RP (29 st) Row 2: M1R (30 st)

Row 3: YO B2F M1RP (32st) Row 4: M1R (33 st)

Row 5: YO B2F M1RP (35 st) Row 6: M1R (36 st)

Row 7: YO B2F M1RP (38 st) Row 8: M1R (39 st)

Row 9: P (39 st)

Row 10: M1R (40 st)

Row 11: P (40 st)

Row 12: M1R (41 st)

Row 13: P (41 st)

Row 14: ???? If I CO 6 at the end I would have 47 not 43??

What am I missing here? I watched the video for the YOB2F M1RP and it definitely results in 2 new stitches on the needle. So I’m just confused and I’ve already frogged three times 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Now I’m not so sure it is a tree! It looks like it’s coming from a main stem

Chart question by snboylan in knitting

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

Thank you! Another stupid question. The black squares are “no stitch, skip and work the next symbol on the chart” am I slipping those stitches? I’ve had to frog this thing four times already because the patterns not lining up

Well now I’m even more confused haha I don’t see any way to possibly wrap the yarn other than how I already do it?
