I use sugar and cream for dish cloths- it’s not bad stuff. There are some really great acrylics out there though- Lion Brand makes some that are soft and stretchy, just fantastic. But some people don’t ever want to use acrylic- and hey! That’s great! I don’t judge people’s fiber choices! There are some beautiful…

That sounds awful and it’s always tough to lose someone or be in the process of losing someone. My sympathy and empathy and I’m so sorry and LOOK AT THIS PUPPY TASTING A LIME!

Thank you. And I have to say, that’s the best screen name I’ve seen on here in a long time.

I don’t know much about yarn, but I will help you bitch about that lady. She probably really is poor because she spends all her money on expensive yarn. And her life may actually be terrible (possibly her own fault if she acts like this too irl) - otherwise why would she spend sooo much time on a yarn group chat? So…

Honestly, how you feel is totally understandable. You’re worn out and seeing anyone in pain for this long (and that goes for both your dad and mom) takes a massive toll. I never cried in front of my family when my grandmother (who partly raised us) died, and I worried about the same thing. From what I heard later, no…

I hope so. I’ve been really worried lately about how my extended family is perceiving me right now, since I haven’t cried in front of them yet. I’ve done plenty of it in private, but I hate being emotional in front of almost everyone except my husband. I’m also a very pragmatic person (I think to a fault sometimes)…

I bet you any- ANY- money that your mother sings your praises to your sisters and makes them feel like their choices aren’t as good as yours.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this :( I have no advice other than everyone grieves differently (and never question if you’re “doing it right”), and it sounds like you are a wonderful daughter and your mom will be okay, especially with you being there for her <3

I drink. a lot.

question about Socializing When Single:

I have no suggestions I just wanted to post this gif.

Wow. This is long (like my dick). I am so sorry.

As a woman I do have to ask who the hell tells someone they like them and then says they don’t need to respond?! Girl, Maya (Mara?) that’s nuts.

I told an 18 y/o I work with that now that she’s single, she needs a vibrator. I recommended the rabbit. She looked at me as if I was crazy... She never (!!!) masturbates, she thinks it’s weird.

“...and THAT’S why you should never be a racist, xenophobic, classist asshole.”

If that’s the case, then from what I can tell, she’s been rehashing those experiences on the Mindy Project, especially because Danny had some commitment issues and there was a lot of back and forth about that. If she’s obsessing, that’s unfortunate but the show may have benefitted. I think most of us have had one…

I don’t get why she continues to talk about him. They haven’t been dating for years. He didn’t like you enough! Get over it! What does it matter that he thinks you were “one of the greats”? Why so much focus on a ex boyfriends opinion of you? It does annoy me whenever she mentions that guy. He isn't even cute either.

Seriously.

I like Mindy a lot but her relationship with BJ just seems so unnecessarily “dramatic” and “complicated.” From what I gather she wants a somewhat traditional monogamous and exclusive relationship with him and that’s not what he wants. Happens all the time. I just don’t get why they both don’t move on...instead of…
