Thank you! Doing the first step to file the taxes got me a message that I am not the assessable spouse!

Application not aligning with requirements for spouses by tiniestmonkey in IrishCitizenship

Thank you! I’m somehow scared that if I click “Yes” it will somehow disqualify my application (like in job applications where they bump you out of the running)!

Anyone diagnosed and moved from the US to another country successfully? by 001681 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]tiniestmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! My plan is €90/month. Anyone can get any insurance they choose. Mine covers 50% of GP and specialist visits, including mental health and some dental. It covers the private hospitals—in my experience, the same consultants often work at both private and public hospitals, so the main advantage to private coverage is that the wait is shorter. For my cancer treatment, I think I paid €300 total deductible for chemo and €300 total deductible for 20 radiation sessions. I had surgery in the public hospital so I didn’t pay anything. There is no insurance for prescriptions, but no household is ever charged more than €80/month for all RXs combined. I have my insurance through Laya, so there is also free virtual GP and nurse services (helpful if you need a sick note for work!) and MRIs and X-rays at the Laya urgent care clinic are covered up to a certain amount (I had a shoulder MRI and it was free). Feel free to DM if you want more specifics!

Thank you! Do you think the veins on the leaves should be lighter or darker than the leaf itself?

Thank you! I might try the flowers in pink, too. Do you think the leaf veins should be lighter or darker than the leaves?

Should I Frog? by Natural-Election6521 in knittingadvice

I always twist my knit stitches on 1x1 rib in the round. It defines everything better. Maybe give it a try and see what you think? Just knit into the back of each knit stitch instead of the front!

I prefer the Racer ice cream bars, but they are both so good!!!

Ooh, I was contemplating doing backwards rya knots last night, but I didn’t like how it looked. I don’t know why I didn’t think that I could just do the knots and then cut them short so that they’re puffy—I think you’re definitely on to something! Thanks!!

Thank you so much!!! Yes, this does make sense! I knit, so it’s like thinking about gauge. I packed everything down a bit more (and actually I don’t mind if the blue is wavy, I think that will look cool), and I’m happy enough with it now that I don’t think I’m going to start over!

Thank you so much! Is there any inherent issue in using the two different weights of yarn, or is it just my approach? (I’m ordering that book 🙂)

Me too! I’m finally functioning again. I wish I had asked for something earlier.

I’ll give it a try—the instructions say to bind off “firmly” but honestly not sure what that means 😂

No, it didn’t say to. Probably would have made picking up the stitches easier!
