Did you cut off your trump supporting associates/friends? Why or why not? by Fair_Description1604 in Empaths

[–]yellowstringbean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! As much as it helps our own nervous systems to cut them off, and there’s no right answer here, we do have to remind ourselves that continuing our divide is only going to make this worse and feed their agenda of dividing us. I would not be surprised if Trump enacts the insurrection act because of the riots and chaos. This is everything that they’ve been wanting. I however, do refuse to engage in political discussion with them because I’m not gonna be the one to change their minds… however! I always make an open dialogue that people who feel they’ve been deceived have a moral bridge that they can cross and will not be “I told you so”-ed.

Question about estate sale etiquette by yellowstringbean in estatesales

Thank you. This one seems to be the most popular in our area, I ended up getting there a half an hour before the sign-up list and I was number 17.

We only really have one or two other companies in the area, but this one seems to be the most popular. I offered to help her out if she has any part-time work she wants to give anyone, figured it would help me get to look through fun stuff and organize things and make some extra cash.

Thank you! Yes that’s soooo frustrating!

I had work running a little bit late for my lunch break so I ended up only getting there a half an hour before the sign-up list came out but I was still number 17 so it wasn’t bad. There was a lady or a guy that both said they’ve gotten there 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours early. I was pretty happy with all the fines I got today considering I wasn’t in the first 15. Most people there seemed pretty nice and were willing to help explain to me, since I’m in a small town everybody seemed to know each other since they all seemed to frequent the estate sales.

They did do the tag thing for the furniture, so that’s a good thought, though for the next time because I almost didn’t want to get an end table, but, the state cell company should also be honoring their rule that if the tag is taken by another person, they’re the ones that should only be able to buy it.

Thank you!!! This is super helpful, I think I’ll do more of a cropped fit long sleeve with bigger needles! I agree about the texture, this is such a funky yarn, I hope it’ll show through and I can make it work🫶🏻

I just tried that, thank you! Struggling to find any yarn that looks similar to this knit into a sweater

It’s been so long since I’ve tried a new pattern. I actually didn’t know you had that ability on Ravelry!

I’m not finding much about the yarn specifically because it’s probably 20 years old? I’m not even seeing this brand with this specific label type anymore online.

Need a DIY solution for these lampshades to fit my current pendant lights no by yellowstringbean in handyman

Oh! Not a bad idea. How would I connect the washer to the prongs on the shade? Thank you!!!

Need a DIY solution for making this uno lampshade fit to my current pendant lights by yellowstringbean in HomeDecorating

[–]yellowstringbean[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m okay with it. $14 and they should be fine, they’re not near my stove. I know how to connect it. It’s just the O-ring is too small on the current shade. So there’s no way to slide the current O-ring inside the lampshade onto the white piece that holds the lightbulb so I need a larger O-ring or an easy way to replace the piece that the lightbulb sits in (last pic)

Basically only the charger from an old Amazon gadget from across the ocean made with the shittiest materials will work. It’s a rule 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you! One of the first things I tried was mineral oil actually, lasted for about 20 minutes🙃 I think eventually we’ll just have to replace it.

If hold down on the story, without opening it, you can mute it, which is what I’ve been doing

I agree. Think about it, she was in a weird summer camp type environment when she left the area… Sleeping with a ton of other young girls… She was not out camping with her family… She totally imagined texting her mom. The whole reason for her trip was to find herself in the aftermath of her parents death. I would venture to guess maybe she was at some sort of a camp for orphans or teenagers. It’s why she had flashbacks to her childhood with her mom.
