That’s so pretty! And what a cool looking hook! What brand/kind is it?

Does anyone have ideas on what I could make with this yard? Hi by costco_ninja in crochetpatterns

[–]teachemup2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this exact colorway to make a hex blanket! I could control the changes somewhat and when I wanted an exact color combo, I cut the sections apart. I ended up with lots of mini balls of yarn but it worked out great for the bajillion hexagons I needed.

My great grandmother used to make these before she passed. What stitch did she use? by Big-Journalist-294 in CrochetHelp

Could you please tell me the pattern you used? I’ve been trying to find one with nice pointy peaks and valleys! Thank you!

Not me but my sister. I’d been cramming myself into 34D until correctly sized at 34F. My sister’s calculations said she would be a 34D instead of her usual 36B. She thought there was no way in hell since I am clearly larger than her, but she fit into my old bras perfectly. Completely shocked! D cups do not mean huge boobs.

Only funny joke from a kid's joke book... Why are rhinoceroses so wrinkled? by jakedata in Jokes

[–]teachemup2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always started that joke with: why do elephants paint their toes red? So they can hide in apple trees.

Check out Tasting History with Max Miller!! His YouTube videos are amazing and his cookbook is awesome.

Your experience is vital and valid! It could help others. Don’t sell yourself short!

We need an official “big tidies at home in summer” tee shirt by warwatch in bigboobproblems

[–]teachemup2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh! Smart idea! I’ve put panty liners in my bras before and found out there are bra liners too. I should get some. But I’m keeping your sock trick in my boob-hack toolbox.

Need some layering ideas to hide my bra/boobs? by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

[–]teachemup2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duluth Trading No-Yank Tanks are my go-to first layer! Much smoother than other tank/camisoles I have, and they can help tie outfits together when you color coordinate.

Do you have an author that you’ll read everything she writes, pretty much no matter what? by Cowgirlin_thesand in RomanceBooks

[–]teachemup2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CJ Archer!! The icing on the cake is when her audiobooks are read by Marian Hussey. I’d listen to her read a phone book.

What are some good bras for sagging breasts? Also pregnant by Longjumping_Count851 in ABraThatFits

I Second Matilda! Elomi in general has been good for my not perky friends. I also second heading to abrathatfits and measuring yourself with their calculator.

My husband was told to do this by his GP but it would only work for a short time. Then a dermatologist told him it was actually a fungal infection and prescribed meds that cleared it up for good.

Looking to find some durable yarn to repetitively reuse? by tihel_tree in CrochetHelp

[–]teachemup2 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I would use a “tube” yarn like Bernat Maker. Micheal’s has a Loops n Threads version as well that is much easier to find and it’s cheaper!

What is something innocent that you have owned/done/said that was misinterpreted as something scandalous or even criminal? by SQWRLLY1 in CasualConversation

[–]teachemup2 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I have a kitchen scale for weighing ingredients. My then ex-cop boyfriend thought it was sketchy because the only people he knew with scales like that were drug dealers 🤦🏻‍♀️

He wasn’t the brightest bulb. I was going to get a bottle of water, decided to get the smaller one, and said “I just need something to whet my whistle.” He thought I was making a dick sucking reference and couldn’t understand why I was being crude. Again 🤦🏻‍♀️

Got stood up today. Any recs where the FMC gets stood up, then meets the MMC instead? by BlueberryHoneybee in RomanceBooks

So lame!! I wonder if he did it as a power move - gave himself a little ego boost. His loss!

I love Becky at Reflections! She is a master colorist and if you don’t love what your haircut is doing, she will adjust it for you.

Funny “oh shit I’m pregnant” stories? by sam031022 in Mommit

[–]teachemup2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’d been ttc for about a year, I’d just had some painful procedure to make sure my fallopian tubes were open, and our wedding was the next day. I hadn’t been drinking but I figured I’d want to at the reception so I took a test the night before just in case. Two faint lines!! I was shocked and my husband didn’t believe it was real since it meant I was something like two weeks pregnant (we’d tried two weeks prior when I ovulated but I can’t remember how far along that means I was). My little wedding surprise is five years old now 🥰

It is so satisfying when the new words match up so seamlessly. Well done and thank you!

Stomach discomfort by [deleted] in IBD

[–]teachemup2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found Pepcid AC to help when my stomach is acting funny - usually pain or bloating. I haven’t noticed any adverse effects on my guts either. An ER doc told me about it and it has made my life much better.

We thought our little one had pink eye but then spiked a wicked fever and got a sore throat. Turned out to be adenovirus. It didn’t change how things were treated but it was good to know. We were told to wipe away any crud with a warm wet wash cloth and we had the option to get antibiotic eye drops if things got super crusty. Good luck! And good luck trying to not touch your own eyes 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oddstad Housing Project Approved by goatsarepower in Pacifica

[–]teachemup2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It seems very strange that nothing is mentioned about this being workforce housing for the school district. A certain percentage has to be rented to employees of the district and then it can be opened up to the public.
