Yes but to be clear I meant color in the completed squares on the paper, not the fabric itself. I’m seeing some folks suggesting you make markings on the fabric, which may work depending on the design, but I’ve never done that. Good luck! 

Tips for counted cross-stitch— start from the center and work outwards so the design will be centered on the fabric. And assuming they included a legend showing what color goes where, color the squares in with a pencil when you complete them to help you keep track. 

IMO, one of the most effective moments in Fyre was toward the end, when the woman who ran the restaurant on Great Exuma was talking about how because she was never paid, she had to pay her workers with $50K of her own savings. She kept repeating how she doesn’t like to think about it because it’s so upsetting.  It…

Damn. She should be fronting a rock band. 

Previous Trek series did a good job at creating individual episodes focused around each of the bridge crew members/senior officers (so does The Orville, for what it’s worth).  Hopefully they do more of this in season 2, because I’d like to know more about these characters.

Now, THAT would be brilliant. 

omg, you’re the reason we can’t just buy Sudafed off the shelf anymore! ;) 

I bought these because they’re “low profile” and less chunky than a lot of Vans designs. They’re very comfy but definitely lost some of their cushiness after a year of heavy use and being on my feet the whole workday. https://www.vans.com/shop/canvas-authentic-lo-pro-black-black#hero=0

I love fondue!  I wish it were more popular in my city.  My very favorite place for fondue closed a couple of years ago and was replaced by... a vegan restaurant. >_< 

I ate all the orange-flavored chewable vitamins out of the jar when I was a kid.  I don’t know if it’s connected, but I had digestive issues for a long time after that. 

I went to the DC March in 2017 and I thought it was a great experience and an important thing to do. I went to the NYC March in 2018 (put on by another group, Women’s March Alliance) and didn’t enjoy it. It was overly crowded and we could barely move, plus it was disproportionately white (I’m white). The DC march was…

I finally bought little black Vans that I can wear with a skirt/dress without looking silly -- game changer! 

You’re right, Obama wouldn’t have done it, because a) it’s tacky, and b) it doesn’t mesh with Michelle’s promotion of healthy eating.

Without knowing anything other than what you’ve written here, it sounds like you two need to have a Serious Talk. You wrote: “This is not the man I married. I have done nothing to deserve being disrespected.”  I think you should say exactly that.  

Completely agree.  Keeping things neat is one of the first things to go when I feel stressed or am too busy, but clean surroundings make me feel so much calmer.  Our dog sheds like crazy, so any time I can walk around the apartment without getting furry socks feels so luxurious! 

That’s great! It’s important to be creative, even if it’s just for your own eyes. 

The ice cream cone shoes and kitty cat pants — this is the best outfit!

“Practical special effects,” now that’s great.  Thanks for making me laugh! 

That macrame is so cool!! Did you create the pattern yourself, or use a book, or...? 

Which goes against the common narrative that millennials don’t care about anything but Instagram and avocado toast.
