Thank you. My husband gave me a Str Wars crochet kit and I was using the very small hook and thin yarn that came with it. I figured I’d learn the basics, unravel and have a tiny storm trooper army. I was very wrong.

I have a bunch (thanks Target!). You have to peel down. There are other with butt flaps though they are super annoying.

I tried to start crocheting too but I only have fairly thin yarn and a very small hook. It was frustrating! Is that mostly the nature of the beast? Or should I upsize everything to start?

The thought of how much faster/better I would have to get to sell anything popped into my head last night. I’m less intimidated now, I will never be that fast! :)

This makes me feel better. I’m having fun and picking up speed but in 10ish hours I certainly haven’t produced the equivalent of half a dozen hats.

I didn’t know that. Thank you.

So, I have picked up knitting again. This time I have gotten past half a ball of yarn in a too tight stockinette stitch and am finding some success. Is crocheting that much faster? I looked up that messy bun thing and they are selling them for $15. After yarn cost isn’t that only like a couple bucks an hour for labor?…

I’m spending tonight crying. I hate the fucking holidays. I hate my fucking inlaws. The only person I have in the world is doing tech for the Nutcracker all weekend. Gone for 16 hours a day all last week, all this week, all next week. And what does he want to do with the money? Buy me a nice Christmas present. And I…

I got Skyrim again on Txgvg and I’m just doing that. Enjoying trying mods for the first time. Got a badass castle, smithing cheat, hundreds of extra spells. And my beloved Marcurio. I am no longer interested in most human interaction.

The SPCA has thrift shops here and I would love to dump the stuff but........my husband is the scapegoat/invisible kid and until we progress a little further emotionally he needs his love replacements. 90% of which is “collectible” crap.

I think the fourth one is one to eat.

My husbands parents have filled our shoebox apartment with stuff. Like giant framed posters that live in shipping boxes stuffed behind the headboard. So I asked him months ago to express to his parents that stuff isn’t needed. I know he told his dad we are looking to replace some electronics and contributions would be…

If life has taught me anything, going first just paints a target on your back.

Yeah, I kept trying to find a guild I could feel comfortable and connect with. First one decided to spend the day of the San Bernadino shooting making fun of PTSD. Second one was all women, with an eye towards a safe space for queer women and that was the “too environmental to vote” guild. I stopped playing because…

If you haven’t already, go to Netflix and watch the penguin spy show. Warning, realities of penguin life involve some dead chicks, but for the most part it’s awesome.

So I was in a guild on ESO (stay with me) with this woman who decided she wasn’t going to vote because neither candidate was “strong enough on the environment.” So here ya go you unforgivable moron and all your like minded self centered cohort. You didn’t get spoon fed and now we are all going to suffer.

I’m not the only person who enjoys going to Ikea? I haven’t lived locally to one in......10 years? I miss it. No matter why I went I always came home with an awesome set of bowls or spatulas or some other cheap, cute kitchen tools.

Tough.

Something about both of your comments is creating a feeling that you are anti Plan B, because pricey. Now, being that this is the Internet and tone is hard to gauge, I’m just gonna say Okay dude and walk away.

But abortions cost hundreds. In fact, the only provider in Reno is a private clinic, they only offer surgical, and it’s $600. I’ve dropped about $150 in the last four years on Plan B. A bargain!
