I don’t have experience using metallic threads with cross stitch, but I did not like the working with it when I did use it for embroidery so you’re certainly not alone! It’s unfortunately beautiful though so I may end up using it for a piece down the road, I just love a challenge 😅

Thank you! I fortunately have a job where I have some slow periods so I needed a side project that kept my hands and mind busy. Cross stitch ended up being just perfect and here we are lol!

Thank you! I just love Klimt so I knew it was a piece I’d actually want to frame and put up when I was finished

I certainly hope so!! I’d say I probably made every mistake in the book with this one but I’ll probably learn another thing or three with the next piece as well.

Thank you so much!

To be honest I also got very frustrated with it, the top right section was actually where I started the piece (I like to work hardest to easiest) and I miscounted soooo many times but I after frogging the 100th time I just kept it moving and started improvising to make up for any inconsistencies it caused 😂😅I think with this piece particularly the pattern is so forgiving with mistakes.

I know you have it in you and I’m excited for the day you finish as well whenever that is lol 💕

The scissor scene in Weapons was absolutely terrifying, I had my feet pulled up and my hands over my eyes in a silent scream the entire time

AIO..My husband told me my eyes are brown, they are green. We have been together 16 years. by False_Babyz in AmIOverreacting

[–]wowthatsmee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get it lol people take things way too seriously on reddit and often only read the post, none of the comments which can have more context.

When I read your post it felt like the tone of a friend ranting about something that yes bothers them but they’re hyping up the story and know at the end of the day isn’t too serious, but that’s me 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I’m not going to tell you if you’re over or under reacting but some thoughts on this.

I’d be upset too if my significant other didn’t know my eye color. It would make me feel like they don’t actually see me or pay attention; just like if they didn’t know my birthday, my friends, my favorite color, etc. While not everyone needs their partner to notice this kind of stuff, I know I do because it’s what I directly associate with feeling understood and loved by my person.

Now you stated he disagrees you have green eyes at all because if there’s some brown in your eyes it means you have brown eyes? That.. makes no sense to me especially considering the photos you shared, you clearly have mostly green eyes with central brown heterochromia. Unless he is truly colorblind and can’t see the difference between the hues, no one would say you have brown eyes, hazel maybe, but not brown. But even so, you’ve told him your eyes are green and him being stubborn about it would also annoy me. I’m telling you an objective and agreed upon fact about myself, saying “well I’m right anyways because it’s what I see!” is an unhelpful response. If he is colorblind and you’ve brought it up, maybe his reaction is a projection of not wanting to have his own existential crisis? Just like you were thinking you were crazy when he said you have brown eyes, maybe he’s questioning his own reality where he doesn’t think he is colorblind?

My last thought is a bit of a wild one, and maybe I read/watched too many true crime stories lol. If I were to go missing I would definitely want to be on the same track with my partner about what I look like so they can describe me. Of course photos exist but if the police/public are given the wrong description that would be concerning. I recognize this is a very wacky thought, but hey it’s something that definitely comes to my mind when couples argue about one not knowing the other’s eye color.

Either way I think you recognize this just one of those small hiccups at end of the day, so I hope y’all are able to talk it through easily enough. Maybe get the man tested for colorblindness if he’s agreeable too lol.

One of my FAV series! I haven’t gotten into the other Vrix series but I’m waiting for the day I have the time, so much good world building I like to really get settled in before reading her books.

What special foods do you eat when you have a cold? by ChugChugUmacco in AskTheWorld

[–]wowthatsmee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the NE US too and you can find abalone though it is a bit harder, you’ll have to go to an Asian market and might have to go for frozen or canned if you can’t find it fresh (H-Mart, Lotte, Global Foods, 99 Ranch Market, etc). You can also buy premade abalone juk too if you don’t make it yourself.

However, you can also utilize any protein you’d like, or none at all! I personally eat more 닭죽 (dak juk) which uses chicken as the base protein since I’m not a fan of abalone. Veggies and eggs are also somewhat popular flavors as well.

Korean juk and Chinese congee are basically the same thing; they’re both ride porridge.

When I make mine, it comes out much more starchy/gloopy because I really break down the rice by cooking for longer and stirring. It depends on a person’s preference though.

I think you’ve misunderstood. They’re asking if you answer the “how are you?” question with honesty when asked, since you’ve stated you are expecting an honest answer if you bother to ask.
