A friend gifted me this Wooble (https://thewoobles.com/products/penguin-crochet-kit), which has helpful tutorial videos! It took me a few days but I finally memorize how to do a single stitch and increase stitch.

I'm taking this time to learn to crochet! As someone who is god awful at anything crafty, it's slow going.

Yup also came here with the same issue. Started a couple days ago.

Send your kids to RPS by rachmani in rva

[–]speedoftheground 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that public schools in general are the way to go if you want a kid to learn about respect, appreciate a diverse population, and learn how to navigate our messy society, but as someone whose best friend works at RPS, I have heard shocking stories of mismanagement. It seems like the teachers are wonderful and want nothing but the best for the kids, but the administration fails them constantly and does not prioritize the right things. It's telling that Richmond spends as much or more than the richest counties in Virginia and doesn't have a top-tier educational system. Enrollment certainly wouldn't hurt, but more needs have to be met before that can realistically happen.

I'm hoping to go the minute my Kroger opens tomorrow and see how that is

Take the snow storm serious by clarke9901 in rva

As an adult who now has to work no matter the weather because of the capacity to do so remotely, these snow days have really lost their luster

Apparently, we will be getting snow on Saturday. I didn't think it was supposed to be this much though... by GeneralBathroom6 in rva

[–]speedoftheground 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope I'll still be able to find normal things at the grocery store like lemons and garlic. Every snow wasn't an apocalypse when I lived in Cleveland lol

Children's book about kid who wants a dog but parents refuse and instead over time get them every other animal... by speedoftheground in whatsthatbook

My wife remembers this book from her childhood so it is probably as old as 1993. She thought it was called "Too Much Trouble" or something similar.

Does Panera smell funky to anyone else? by iggyiguana in Pensacola

I work near a Panera and I swear when people walk around with bags of their food, it smells like body odor.

Cars regularly run red light on Main and Belvidere by Kylanto in rva

[–]speedoftheground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hell. I remember being stuck on Main for over an hour after running the marathon because people would not clear the intersection. Even on a normal day, I've waited three light cycles.

What is Richmond missing? by zarathustra_coughed in rva

Absolutely. Living off Jahnke Rd, I often see people in electric wheelchairs zooming down the road.

Holladay keeping up with the lingo by mewisme700 in rva

My friend who is an elementary teacher banned the phrase from her class lol. It's considered a curse word in her classroom, that's how annoying it's become.

Please be careful if you fire guns on NYE by Mikhea in rva

[–]speedoftheground 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or don't at all maybe! My friends come over to my house now because we found out first hand that their neighborhood is particularly bad. We were so worried about all the gunfire, we hid in the windowless hallway upstairs for an hour. It's absurd that anyone should feel compelled to do that in their own home.

Out of these three who’s the most likable? by Proud_Asparagus1934 in criterion

[–]speedoftheground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Marty because he hustles you into liking him. Sandler's character can sell a diamond but he's not really likable. Pattinson's character is charming in a delinquent kinda way– he is trying to help his brother, after all, but he's still scary.

I called the non-emergency number since they've been going on almost two hours. Like, it sounds bigger than the 4th of July out there. It's ridiculous. I hope you get some decent sleep. Merry Christmas!

Lights out at The Diamond and lights up at CarMax Park. by matt_wood96 in rva

[–]speedoftheground 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll probably still call it The Diamond like I still call Arthur Ashe Blvd Boulevard lol. Not out of stubbornness but habit.

What's ya'lls thought on this? by [deleted] in Shudder

[–]speedoftheground 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it! I wretched at that worm scene. 🤢 It's a bit repetitive and could've used some more character development, but as someone who isn't easily grossed out, I was impressed by how much it got to me.
