u/CrossroadsConundrum

Thank you for mentioning this! Yes yes yes!!! Allllll day. 

I would argue that those are MUCH more aversive to dogs than being brushed.

My daughter is HoH and has adhd and sign is very effective. You can just look up signs you think you will need but also Bill Vickers has great videos for free and even baby signing time videos would be a good start. Just think through what you will need to say in those times and practice those. Maybe even just the sign for wait or can’t or later - super simple. 

Yes, this is it. I buy undated planners even though I hate them but then I just turn to the next week or next day and don’t feel like I’ve wasted anything and don’t feel the guilt of miles of unused days or weeks. And then I essentially use a form of bullet journaling in that system. 

I had a fedex box that needed to be returned. I went to staples because I always do my returns there. They don’t do fedex. The last time that happened I just dropped it in a box and it was fine. Did the same this time and THEN remembered I hadn’t put a label on it and so it was essentially a last cause to get back to me or the vendor. 😔 ADHD TAX! 😆

overthinking is definitely on brand for me. Thanks for the reality check.

Okay, now I understand the level of alcoholism in Boston in general and my husband's friend circle in general.

ohhh, okay. In the very real possibility (lol) that this ever happens to me, I will be the DD because that's my jam. I usually order a Shirley temple, so maybe that would count, but I couldn’t even do 6 of those!

Oh yes, I know that annoyance well! Thankfully most of my friends aren't big drinkers and my family covers my food because it's so much cheaper than everyone else's because I don't drink. lol

This blows my mind. Do you just assume you’ll have the same number of rounds as the number of people? I am not a big drinker so 🤯

I was there too. So fun. 

I did not like the hairbrella. I felt it wasn’t as comfortable as I had hoped. 

Me too! Congrats to us both!!

Or knees. 😳

Thank you for this!

This is really helpful. Thank you! I’ll give it a go and if it doesn’t work — just frog it all back vs laddering down. For some reason I have maybe 10 extra stitches worth on some rows!

Well, to be frank this is not the first time I’ve faced such a problem. 🫣 I figured putting in extra time now to learn how to do it might pay dividends in the future but it seems like the consensus is “no”. I have probably frogged more projects than I’ve started but I’m being so stubborn with this sweater for some reason! Thank you for the reminder that maybe this one needs to be put out of its misery!

Thank you for this. I posted above but I have been working on this off and on for years and was at the point of casting off so I might just frog it all and put the yarn away from awhile. 

Okay, this comment thread is very helpful. I have been working this sweater off and on for literal years and was at the point of casting off when this happened so I’m so annoyed and might be over it. I may just totally frog and make leg warmers or something. 😂 

Okay. This is essentially what I’ve been doing. Do you suggest I just ignore the extra yarn and fix it later?

I did frog back to the ribbing at least 3 times. 😳 it’s the reknitting that is giving me trouble. I can’t seem to get it right because I have extra yarn at the end of each completed row. I may have to go all the way back to cast on?

So, that’s where you dropped a stitch and unraveled two rows instead of one. If you look carefully you should see it. It will be the one in the middle. You can google how to pick up a dropped stitch. It’s fairly easy and a crochet hook can be your friend to help get the hang of it. Good luck! Also, I always tink back ALL stitches one by one because in the end it’s so much easier and less time consuming. I’ve lost SO MANY projects just trying to rip out a row at a time, for exactly this reason. 

Oooo! Thank you!
