Seems like this would affect anyone who doesn’t have a copy of their birth certificate, an enhanced ID or a passport. That seems like a huge number of people.

I am tired

I hope you had fun skating! I really like the fabric. There might be other names for it, but I recently learned the name “swiss dot” can refer to a texture like that.

I miss living some place walkable. And having neighbors who are interested in being neighborly.

Gross practice. Companies would charge their employees money to wear more comfortable clothes. They’d often say it was a fundraiser. I have heard of people who did not want to or could not afford to participate getting chastised for not supporting kids with cancer.

You are very much in agreement in danish.

In my family, over my lifetime, more people started working more hours outside the home. So choices were made when buying clothes to get items that required less work. Less hand washing. Less dry clean only. Less wash separately. But the clothes still had to look professional. I still have a “permanent press” cycle on my washing machine. I think it’s a relic from that transitional era.

I have seen the shift to more casual work clothes over my lifetime. I remember some places had a day or two of “casual” days. Sometimes employees would have to pay a few dollars to wear casual items. I really don’t remember when places transitioned to such casual clothing. I think I worked a lot for a couple of years, blinked my eyes. And everyone was wearing sweat pants. Is there anyone who was paying attention who can fill me in? What happened?

All of that is great. Thanks. For us there is interest in outdoors and camping. And an interest in japanese animation - thanks studio ghibli! Definitely natural links there for us. And even if there wasn’t I bet someone out there would see something of interest.

Honestly, I’d like applicable material for kids of various ages.

Costco is the only place in my area that doesn’t blast loud ads at the gas pumps.

Cool resource! Thanks! I feel that. So many cool things to learn and try. So few hours in a day.

My cat is the most independent.

But she would text me “it’s been a full five minutes and you have not yet harvested the treasures from the box. Please remove them immediately “

I think I’d choose sewing too. I did get a machine and I’ve made a couple of things. But a lot of patterns feel like stereo instructions. I did recently purchase a book with some patterns and instructions on tailoring. I’ve read a good deal of it. But yet to have time to begin pattern work.

No ferment pets rn. Bt sometimes they’re just as much work as my fur pets. I don’t have name rec, but I’ve always wanted to check out Mexican horror movies and it sounds like you have the perfect opportunity to watch some.

Last I checked I’m down 6lbs this month which I am very happy with. This week I meal planned and pre logged and it went so well. I gotta hurry up and meal plan for the coming week it’s almost here

I miss painting my nails. I haven’t been able to find time for it in the longest.

I really like the green color in the photo with the black. It makes me think of tropical forest and leaves in the shadows

I have a vintage stationary bike that I got for free a few years ago. It’s really handy. But it started squealing LOUDLY whenever used. I thought maybe this was it, and it’s going to be heading to the dump. But I wanted to at least try to figure out what was going on. I figured the sound had to be something rubbing against the wheel so I got close, cranked the pedals, and looked around. I didn’t see any parts touching the wheel.

I cranked the pedals some more. I listened. It didn’t seem like the sound was coming from the wheel. It was higher up. It was the rpm gauge! It’s an analog gauge with a needle. The faster the peddling, the more the needle moves. The needle was getting stuck! The tiny needle was making a huge sound. It had all the force from the pedals. But it was just bouncing around at the zero end of the dial, vibrating and creating an animal like screech.

I thought maybe there’s a loose cable. So I tightened both ends of the cable. Both sides were loose and I was sure that would fix it. But it didn’t. I thought about disconnecting the cable. I thought a little more and thought maybe a little oil would work. I rooted around all the bottles of mechanical stuff and I found a suitable looking oil. I applied a little to each end. And it works! It was a really simple repair.

Can the house itself count as the item 😑

I did a collab and we drafted a pattern for a barbie dress. I think I need to refine the pattern one more time. The mm dress
