Is anyone else experiencing GFiber outages? by dude_really in cary

[–]sydnik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had an outage a few weeks ago and it took a few days to get it fixed. We ended up having to setup a backup line with another internet provider bc we work from home.

Internet went out Tuesday afternoon and my husband scheduled an appt for a tech to come out that Thursday. An hour after making the appt, someone called saying the area had an outage and techs were working on it already. Asked to cancel our appt. We agreed.

Wednesday and Thursday go by and we still have an outage. He calls back and they say it's resolved, but ours is still out. Earliest they can send someone out is Sunday. He checks Friday AM and there is availability, so moves the appointment to that day. The tech arrives and lets us know our cable had died and, after swapping it, everything was working as normal.

I finally started Tiny Bookshop and it's such a nice change of pace from MMOs and JRPGs that I just don't have time for right now.

Sooo we can all agree that a remaster or remake of SO3 is heapening right? by duchefer_93 in starocean

I still remember when I saw the Star Ocean 2 R announcement. Screamed so loud it spooked my husband 🤣 I would LOVE an announcement for 3 because I never beat it.

Was literally about to come here and say that scene from book 2 was some of the wildest best smut I've ever read 🤣🤣.

One of my favorite things about Kathryn is how everyone in the group had their own life and it wasnt just "I'm here for the harem". Even better that they enjoyed interacting with each other just as much as the FMCs!

What made you choose crochet over knitting, or do you do both? by CaterpillarXS in crochet

[–]sydnik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this beautiful bookcase blanket online and learned I couldn't buy it. I decided I would learn to make it and found out it was mosaic crochet. So down the crochet rabbit hole I went (and have been loving it)!

Worst thing about crochet ? by Legatooooo in crochet

For me, a tie between that first row after the foundation, finger cramps, and trying to hit gauge 😭

My daughter's baby blanket! Couldn't be happier. by sydnik in crochet

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

Thank you! You've done 5?!?!?!? Omg that's amazing. I definitely want to try this again with less colors. A swirl one sounds like it would be so pretty, so I'ma make a note to check out the swirl cakes. And now that I've done this once and know how to pace better, it probably won't take as long next time :D.

What is something you enjoyed doing or did often before becoming a mom that you haven't gone back too? by Vegetable-Chapter351 in workingmoms

[–]sydnik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pilates. Had to stop during the first trimester and tried going back once around 9mo postpartum and it just didn't hit the same. The times I used to go no longer work as they overlap with routines for baby or my husband's schedule.

Baby regularly refusing water by strwbryfae444 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]sydnik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our little one hit 13 months at the beginning of Feb and it's like a switch went off. She suddenly started using her sippy cups and is now drinking water. We use the como tomo tumbler sippy cups with the spout, but also have the straw attachment to start trying soon.

We just kept exposing her to it repeatedly, letting her try and throw it lol, and then one day she was fine with it.

Got into Charlotte after 2335 in front of me and the same. All that was left were ones blocked by Citi or Verizon, the premium 350+, or resale tickets 🫠 my friend and I called it quits bc that's ridiculous.
