Jesus, for a second i thought this picture was taken at my house. I had an almost identical cat at the same time I kept chickens, and fed them from those same bowls. and that is exactly the kind of shit my cat would do.

God speed, Fred, we miss you, and hope you found a good home where you can irritate all the chickens you want.

If there's one thing doctor who has taught me it's that the waters of mars of are completely safe, and they do good things for the body.

Good conversation is good!

Yes! Especially considering we were in a car! Like, for real, you didnt even have to carry it! Just throw it in the floorboard for all i care, but dont you dare throw it in a stream!

I really, really liked him, but after that, that's all i could think about. Just instant turn off.

I haven't seen your other threads, so not sure how beginner we're talking. I'm not the most knowledgeable, but I'll share the best things I've discovered. :)

A lot of tutorials will tell you not to tie knots in your thread on the back hold the thread in, but instead weave it into the thread on the back. This is true if you're planning on making somethihg on a pillow or similar, but if you're framing it and don't care that the back is lumpy because no one will ever see it or feel it, just do you and make it secure.

They make cross stitch lattice thst dissolves in water, so you can cross stitch on tshirts, pillows, blankets, et cetera. It's amazing, and a game changer for making nifty little things you'll actually be able to wear or use daily. I love it so much.

Splitting your thread so its a lower ply is common, but if you leave it 6 stranded sometimes, you can add an extra layer of depth to what you make. For instance, i made a goomba (mario mushroom looking villain) for a friend. I made the outline of the goomba 6 stranded, with all the background stuff 3 stranded. It made it appear that the goomba was closer to the viewer, and really added a 3 dimensional effect that I loved. I've also used more strands to cross stitch curse words in a more handwritten font whenever i do something funny/inappropriate for the lols. Fancy script for most words in 3 strands, curse word in a scrawly looking vulgarish font with 6 strands.

Be mindful of hand pain. Carpal tunnel and damage is a real thing. Get a compression glove, take breaks. Our grandmas and mama's have carpal tunnel for a reason, don't follow in those footsteps. Take precautions.

So I've been accused of sabotaging relationships, and maybe this is that, but i feel justified.

I'd been dating a dude for about 3 months when we decided to go for a drive through this really scenic area near where we live. There's a mill, and a pretty stream. About 30 minutes in, he finishes his gatorade, rolls down the passenger window, and hucks the bottle into the stream.

I made him get out and get it. Told him he could get the bottle or walk home. He got the bottle, and there were no more dates after that. I feel like I did the right thing.

I've made it a point to use it whenever i would use ? And ! Together. It's the best punctuation mark, and i want it to catch on so badly. Plus the name of it makes me guffaw and I dont know why.
