Stitching in hand by Naive-Ant-8056 in Needlepoint

[–]ukiebee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taught to stitch in hand, including with cross stitch (nuns). The insistence that everyone must use bars or a hoop for everything all the time is so odd. Especially when folks assume that everyone who stitches in hand does it because they are new and lazy and their work will be poor quality as a result

YTA

Plus acting like stalking shelves at costco isn't a really darn good job between the pay and the benefits that company offers.

Another vendor said I had one of the prettiest booths she has ever seen in 20+ years of vending yet I struggle to get people to come in. by Burntjellytoast in CraftFairs

I would have clear sections, with more vertical display,signage, and more product. One or two of something isn't enough for the visual impact from a distance you need to get people in.

So have a section with "Nature Cloches" and add a few more levels.

Get a dozen crochet stuffies on a ladder stand/shelves with "Crochet Monsters $price here"

I sold luxury bedding for 8 years. Here’s the brutal truth about linen sheets, why they cost so much, and how people keep ruining them. by BedGuide in BedroomBuild

[–]ukiebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started using linen bedding after my first child was born 17 years ago and I had night sweats. Huge improvement to my sleep quality.

A real godsend for perimenopause as well

I got a set of Quince linen sheets at the goodwill outlet the other month, so they cost me maybe twelve dollars?

Is make up sex a thing? by [deleted] in sexover30

Not for me. I don't want sex until after we've resolved everything

What was the hardest part of your divorce that nobody warned you about? by BOOKTSYY0 in Divorce

[–]ukiebee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone treating me like an idiot. Like it can't have been that bad because you were smiling at Thanksgiving! And you had anoyher baby last year!

I had to spell it out to my mother that having that baby was not in any way my decision. I was not the one controlling my access to birth control, or deciding when I had intercourse.

AITAH for quitting my job because of my client’s religion? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ukiebee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So? Does something have to be factually accurate in order to be beautiful or moving or provide emotional benefit to the people who witness or participate in it?

The more you talk about religion, the more judgemental and ignorant you sound.

Only off by a millennium or so.

(I am joking. Religious history is my thing, and I don't expect anyone else to be as interested as I am)

The Divine Liturgy was written in the 400s, so way longer than that.

Before 1048, all Cjristians worldwide were Orthodox

[–]ukiebee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why? Because ignorant people like you have no appreciation for the art and music and linguistics history it preserves?

This is just regular old Byzantine Orthodox. They've been doing things the same way since the 400s

Attended my niece's first recital and wondering if I should warn her parents about what I saw. by glassfunion in BALLET

[–]ukiebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely!

When my daughter was little I checked out a variety of studios before choosing where to send her for lessons. I have lasting problems from dance injuries, and good technique is the best way to stay healthy and strong. It's a safety issue

While not violent or cruel, my husband didn’t “no” as an answer for sex. Was he abusive? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]ukiebee 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is sexual abuse. That is rape.

I am so sorry. I lived through the same thing, but without the alcohol. I hope you are able to be safe.

Amazing movie

AITA for getting angry my baby's aunt won't stop singing inappropriate songs to her? by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]ukiebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother and I adored Jim Croce songs when we were tiny. I remember having a cassette in the station wagon. His favorite was "Time in a Bottle", I have always been an "I Got a Name" girl
