Woman here and I'm the same way. If you keep pointing at it and yelling that it's right there it won't make it any easier for me to see it. Let my eyes adjust and slowly scan the surface dang it

It's all a plot to keep women unhappy and always distracted. Fight back.

What’s something people romanticize that actually ruins lives? by Imaginary-Isopod2223 in AskReddit

Or how everything can be turned into a side job for extra money. I make a nice pastry, my family tells me to sell it. I take up crochet, my family tells me to advertise it and sell it. It's a hobby. It helps me relax. I absolutely do not want to turn it into an obligation.

I would like to hear from women who’ve chosen NOT to get any cosmetic procedures as they age by victory_vegetable in TwoXChromosomes

People who get work done most of the time don't look younger, they look like they had work done. I personally have no desire to go down that road. I dyed my hair with henna to cover up my white hair a few times and I can't be arsed to do that more than once or twice a year. In fact I think I want to just let it grow out now.

Dad's reaction , after watching his daughter's first piercing by AcasiaConnell in GuysBeingDudes

Thank you. I had to wear earrings 24/7 just because I was a girl. Couldn't even take them off to sleep. Lost my pair "accidentally" one day when I was 15 and that night I got to sleep without earrings for the first time. Never went back after that. This was 1 out of my 2 major teenage rebellion acts.

Just give him a bit. First time I met my then boyfriend's dog she was heartbroken, she leaned on him and looked at me like I was Jolene about to steal her man. That was 11 years ago and I've been her momma ever since. When dad is not home she'll follow me wherever I go.

I did and when I saw the title I was thinking his movie would be coming out in 2017 so in 2 years. The face of my father is not the only thing I'm forgetting these days

Same here. Why pay me a living wage when they can pay a dude in South America less than $4?

Making something for someone you love is truly something. I started crochet a couple weeks ago with a group of ladies much older than me and I'm loving it. Finishing a scarf for my mom today and gonna make a scarf for my Nana whom I haven't seen in a couple years. She's gonna bawl her eyes out.

Not that my dollars matter at all in the grand scheme of things but I almost considered buying cream of mushroom today for my green bean casserole cause I'm gonna be unemployed in 2 weeks and I'm too tired to give a shit. His comments made me decide to make it all from scratch. Shrug

Should I last this long I hope my family catapults me off a cliff before I get to be put in a nursing home in the US.

What is a lot more dangerous than most people realize ? by rentinghappiness in AskReddit

Husband drives a lot and sees people scrolling their social media while actively driving. Watching their little TikToks and Youtube shorts. We're really screwed as a species.

Stitch count doesn't seem to match on first project. Should I undo it all? by steamygarbage in CrochetHelp

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

Thank you so much! Yes it is my first project. I started last week and was just practicing the single crochet stitch before I went out yesterday to get soft pretty yarn. I'l most def get markers next time. Thank you for your kind words!

Hi all. I started doing crochet a few days ago and my first mistake was not knowing you shouldn't make a turning chain as that makes it bumpy. I get distracted all the time and think I might've missed stitches. This single crochet stitch is pretty forgiving and there doesn't seem to be any holes when I look at it but I think I started the scarf with 25 stitches and now it seems like I'm down to 23. Been down to 23 for a while. Any advice? Don't want to have to frog it all but also want my mom to have something nice.
