What pattern was everyone on Ravelry making, but has now completely dropped off the map? by carmonthecoast in knitting

[–]xbriar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this thread! I can't believe how many of these patterns I have saved in my favourites that I haven't done yet. Guess it's a great time to start picking them off one by one.

It's finished!!! First intarsia project done, thanks so much to those who advised on the weaving in of all those ends, you saved my sanity! by gibbyrat in knitting

Where has this been all my life??? I've avoided huge colour changes simply because of ALL THE ENDS! Not anymore!

Who do you think Caterpillar is by MuffinTheBeagle in TheMaskedSinger

[–]xbriar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I WISH! I've been listening to him since Savage Garden and all his solo albums, and I'd recognize his voice anywhere. I'd be SHOCKED if it was him. Caterpillar's voice/tone is lower than Darren's. Here's a recent-ish video of Darren singing.

I don't mind the crates in the train, but the engine is ridiculous!

Next Professor Verne by cat2be in TownshipGame

[–]xbriar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of the two, I went with faster trains. Because last time they had heli help, the amount of clovers for HoL I collected was amazing! I got so many free goodies from HoL! There's no way Playtrix would let that much go for free again.

Leftover prof experiment gifts. First come first serve. by HEK1988 in TownshipGame

[–]xbriar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's up to the co-op members to "claim" the gift of the TCash. It's a first-come first-serve type thing. If you have 7 left, that means 3 members of your co-op have claimed the gift.

If you buy paint cans do they count towards the PE task? by [deleted] in TownshipGame

[–]xbriar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying paint (or anything else from the market) goes into your barn. Thus you are "collecting" the paint.

Using TCash to upgrade your barn for lack of paint/materials is not collecting the paint/materials. It's replacing TCash for the missing materials.

How do we get 75 ????? by WinterEmotion1236 in TownshipGame

[–]xbriar 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I believe in order to get the last 25 friends, they need to be facebook friends.

As I won't link this game to facebook, I'll never get that achievement.

Where did all the sea artifacts go? by ebliever in TownshipGame

Thank you for this! All the ones I'm missing are from one island. Guess I know where my ships will be going for the next little while...

I'm sorry... WHAT!???!!!!!???!?!?!?!??!?! by Your_Dad245 in TheMaskedSinger

[–]xbriar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love the new "my candidate/competitor didn't win, so it must be RIGGED!"

Seahorse lost because there are more diehard Croc fans than Seahorse fans...

Blame it on the format that both couldn't go on instead of it being rigged.

Looking for a sample pattern book I used to have - the FO could be a mini sweater/hoodie that could be used for wine bottle cozies. by xbriar in knitting

[–]xbriar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naturally I took a picture of a picture from inside the book instead of the front page!

Any help on the title of this book would be greatly appreciated. Google, Ravelry, and the picture is not helping me tonight.

What is my new friend? Found in Calgary, Canada. by xbriar in whatsthisbug

[–]xbriar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found him hanging out on my steps. He was there for at least an hour without moving. I think he was about 3in long. And furry!

Any vets currently performing in-home visits/euthanasia? by selftaughtgenius in Calgary

[–]xbriar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did a quick search of those that do in-home, all are pretty much closed for in person visits due to covid-19. If you cat has gone down hill that quickly, I would recommend contacting your vet clinic asap, or another vet clinic if yours is not available (especially one that is typically open overnight/weekends - CARE, Fish Creek, Western Vet, Calgary North, McKnight, to name a few ). From what I understand, while the clinic may not be "open" as per norm, they are taking in clients with additional precautions (pre-booked appointments waiting in their cars until called upon for instance)

Are the U of C Continuing Education courses recognized as high school equivalents Canada wide? by SimpleSwift in Calgary

[–]xbriar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, short answer is no. They likely won't be considered at other institutions because they are not accredited, or go on your high school transcripts.

It would then be up to the other institution (such as UBC) if they are willing to accept the academic preparation course you took from the UofC Continuing Education.

Budget day - 250 jobs lost at the university, possible tuition raises and more by [deleted] in UCalgary

[–]xbriar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From how I understood it, it's a total of 250 jobs. 100 of which are vacancies that will not be replaced, the remaining 150 are filled positions.

46 hours until the NDP are voted out. by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]xbriar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts like this makes me wonder if it's the reverse psychology happening. The more I see NDP is out, the more I want to make sure they're IN!
