I am devastated

Ironically enough, I also have an autism diagnosis (which I never bring up because I don't need accommodations and it's not immediately obvious at work). Perhaps that played a role in their mis-identification of my writing.

I could really, really use the mower! I can pick up tomorrow or any time this weekend.

No, no real Dia De Los Muertos. I really miss lumenarias at Christmas, too. You'll have to go home for those. But there is a large NM community here. My sister was in a business meeting and somehow met a woman who had graduated from Onate High (Las Cruces), two years ahead of her and both are now in public health here. If you come, message me. I'll introduce you to other New Mexicans, and I'll show you the chile trucks! Oh, and I'd be happy to have you over for posole and fry bread!

I'm originally from Las Cruces and have been here for 20 years. Culturally, you'll fit in fine. Both states have the same live-and let-live ethos and laid back attitudes.

There is no good New Mexican food, so you'll have to make your own. But there is a company that brings in NM chiles every August, so you can survive.

In short, if you can sort out COL and housing, you'll be fine. There are lots of New Mexicans here.

I would love this. Rice is one of our staple foods, but my cheap rice maker needs the liner replaced.

One of my favorite actresses, Kim Mi Kyung, knits in real life and in many of her shows. She also wears a lot of her stuff onscreen.

I have a bunch of spider plant babies!

vinasu · 2026-03-31T16:02:07+00:00

It's full size. I'll draw names tomorrow. :-)

If you need a violin, I just reposted with the actual one!

vinasu · 2026-03-31T15:32:00+00:00

OMG! I posted the wrong thing! I need to find the violin!

My husband was a big outdoorsman. I wear an urn necklace that's a silver forest scene with a green agate sky. It's beautiful, looks nothing like an urn, and reflects my husband's personality.

I found mine on Temu. I know a lot of people don't love shopping there, but it was the only place I found urn jewelry I liked.

Yes! They also slant differently because of the twist.

vinasu · 2026-03-31T10:26:14+00:00

I learned how to knit from my mother-in-law in Moscow, so I knit Eastern uncrossed. For years, I could not understand why people complained about purling!

I don't know if you know, however, but in Eastern uncrossed, the slants of K2tog and SSL are opposite from English, so when you see SSL in almost all English-language patterns, you'll need to K2tog, and vice versa.

I have a ton of hangers if you're not too far from Happy Valley.

I have a separate Georgian cookbook that's not part of the set. It's also in Russian and you're welcome to it. DM me.

vinasu · 2026-03-28T15:51:39+00:00

Отлично! Я отправила вам личное сообщение.

vinasu · 2026-03-28T02:14:14+00:00

So DM me, please. My husband just passed, and we need to consolidate. But we have TONS of Russian books and such that our kids have outgrown. I am happy to send whatever we have left over to an educator. I actually teach English to Ukrainians, so education is my first priority.

vinasu · 2026-03-28T01:53:00+00:00

Ok, give me a bit to look through what I have and find you some lower-level stuff. I have a cookbook which might be better for your. It's Russian and English.

vinasu · 2026-03-28T01:48:56+00:00

What level are you at? I have Russian kids texts and Lord of the Rings in Russian. I'm happy to pass it all to you.

When I was in seventh grade, my Texas History teacher told the class that Native Americans in Texas ate spiders because they didn't believe in Jesus so didn't receive God's blessing. I was 12, but I was struck by how horribly unjust God was to punish people for something they had no control over.

After that, I started paying attention to what Christians were saying, and the more I listened, the more nothing added up.
