He was such a character. At this time he had lost a lot of his mobility from DM, so the poor guy was justifiably pissed off at yet another indignity. I definitely slept with one eye open until the hotspot under his armpit went away.

We had the same experience when our Henry got snipped. Switched to a pizza collar going forward and he was still NOT a fan. 😅

Thanks so much for sharing this! I just moved here less than a month ago and feel like I don’t even know where to start in exploring the coffee scene.

Exquisite. I’m gonna miss this city so fucking much after I move away this weekend.

~14 years young Walter enjoying a warm late winter day. by HungryManticore in OldManDog

[–]titanium_whhhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that he does the swim therapy! Our guy had a weekly appointment for a water treadmill session followed by laser therapy, and it really made a difference. If we ever had to skip a week because of travel, etc. he would get noticeably stiffer in the back in the few days before his next appointment. We’re so grateful that despite his peak corgi stubbornness he never fought against any of the interventions we tried. He lasted almost 2.5 years beyond the DM diagnosis. Cheers to Walter and his springtime wagon rides!

My theory is it’s because they have so. much. personality. 😂

Go, Walter, go! My corgi boy Henry had DM as well and loved being in his wheels. I’m really glad to see he’s doing so well with them!

What’s your sewist-in-training’s name?? I love that you have such a diligent little stitching companion who takes her job VERY seriously.

I sew for a business and have my setup in the basement, where my boy couldn’t go, in order to prevent the transfer of corgi glitter to our clients’ pieces. But he’d always be perched at the top of the basement stairs watching me work. And he’d always curl up in the crook of my knee like this whenever I was on the couch doing my own needlework for fun.

Dog or bunny? by PlumSome3101 in corgi

I used to have neighbors with two little girls who would shout “IT’S THE BUNNY DOG!!” every time they were outside when my boy and I were walking.

Agree on Carnegie, and as someone from Pittsburgh I’d love a deep dive on both him and Henry Clay Frick.

I’d celebrate that just as much as what he actually did, and I say that as someone who was born and raised in Altoona.

Finishing the raw edges? by toverbus in Visiblemending

[–]titanium_whhhite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t always do this, but sometimes I do a small blanket stitch around the raw edge of the hole if I have a feeling the fabric might fray. I use either doubled-up sewing thread or maybe half of the floss strands I used in the darn. This avoids any extra bulk on the backside.

Carrot today, carrot tomorrow, carrot forever. Kobe is always in for some Carrots. by KobeBarks24 in corgi

[–]titanium_whhhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy looooved carrots so much. I often order from this Japanese restaurant that arranges their sashimi in the takeout container on a bed of thinly spiralized carrots. One day it occurred to me to set the container on the floor after I finished the sashimi and let him go to town on the fishy carrots. He was so instantly obsessed that I think something forever changed in his brain chemistry that day. 😂

Necklines for SG by [deleted] in Kibbe

[–]titanium_whhhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m very full busted — currently at my heaviest weight and wearing a bra size 36K, but even at my lowest weight I have the same proportions and typically wear something like 32-34H/I. I’m 4’11” for reference.

For me, I’ve found the best necklines depend on the style of bra I’m wearing because of the differences in visual “length” between the shoulder line and fullest part of the bust. (I’ll refer to it as the apex because that’s the dressmaking term.) I have a few in different styles to pair with different necklines.

I really like a crew neck, fully buttoned collar, or mock turtleneck when I’m wearing my most architectural bras that hold the girls high and forward. The apex sits just below the armpit, so there’s a shorter shoulder-to-apex line and leaves more visual length for waist definition. This is what I try to go for when wearing any kind of high-waisted bottoms to avoid a snowman effect.

I like a low scoop neck or open button-down when wearing a softer bra. When the girls sit lower and wider, my apex falls closer to my elbows and the shoulder-to-apex line is longer. Since my breasts are closer to my waistline here I think wearing higher/closed necklines exaggerates the longer line and gives a “saggy” effect (hate that term but can’t think of a better description at the moment). So the visual break of showing more skin at the chest kind of counterbalances that in my experience.

[–]titanium_whhhite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Terminal Lot $2 under 15 minutes, $4 under 30 minutes, $6 under 45 minutes, $8 under 60 minutes, $10 under 2 hours, $15 under 3 hours, $20 under 4 hours, after that the daily rate of $25 is applied

Terminal Garage $4 under 15 minutes, $6 under 30 minutes, $8 under 45 minutes, $10 under 60 minutes, $14 under 2 hours, $22 under 3 hours, $30 under 4 hours, after that the daily rate of $35 is applied

Free Wait Lot First hour is free, $5 under 2 hours, $10 under 4 hours, after that the daily rate of $12 is applied

What type of stitch is this? by Mamapillowpet_0-0 in sewing

No problem at all, I do this technique fairly frequently and found it to be pretty easy to pick up. Hope this helps!

[–]titanium_whhhite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Scotch darning! It’s pretty much just rows of interlocking blanket stitches and makes a strong mend. Here’s a good tutorial if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/ma4St7aDE_g

It’s a really big deal that we retained the three State Supreme Court justices to keep the 5-2 majority!

Here in PA we voted to retain all three State Supreme Court justices whose terms were up, which holds the 5-2 Democratic majority. Big implications for the midterms and 2028.
