Aw thank you. I had to drive 2 hours to see this new doctor and it was totally worth it. I exhausted all of my options that were closer over the years.
I stopped using the site in 2014. Used to post regularly but got sick of all the porn. I stopped posting art online for a long time. Then I stopped drawing for a while. Now I’m trying to get back into it. Posted on the artshare community a while back and the feedback was nice.
I have very painful joints and expect to get formally diagnosed with arthritis tomorrow. I love cross stitching, but my god does it make my hands hurt. I also work in IT, so my hands are in use all day for my job. I want to be able to craft after work to relax, but my hands just hurt and cramp immediately when I try to work on a...
Olive oil is fine. It’s just olives themselves I don’t like. Idk if I just don’t have access to good olives or what. I’ve tried so goddamn hard to like them. I’ve tried so many. I just don’t like them. I also live in a poverty-stricken part of the US, which may explain the lack of quality food around.
I’m not a super picky eater, tbh. I’ve been exploring a lot with food recently, even. I just don’t like olives despite trying my best to. Olive oil is fine. But olives themselves are nasty to me.
I know I’ve never had fresh olives. Nobody has forced me to eat them. My one friend and I argue (in a joke way) about things we have opposite opinions of lmao. We have different opinions on olives
Thank you for the recommendations! I might see if the super fancy grocery store by my work has those olives. If they don’t, then I’ll try to find a middle eastern grocer. I don’t mind taking a minor road trip to find legit olives. I wanna know if I just don’t like the ones I’ve been exposed to.
I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now....
I dream every night. My dreams are vivid and weird as hell. Idk if it’s the result of one of my medications or my epilepsy or what, but my dreams have always been strange. Most of them have some reoccurring elements such as:
Being trapped in an enclosed aquarium of cold, dark water with a hungry orca
Being chased by the Amish while my little sister (who does not know how to drive) drives the car through the woods. She crashes into a tree every time.
Being in the passenger or back seat of my car while it’s moving and scrambling to get back to the driver’s seat.
Being back in high school, but knowing that I’m not supposed to be there.
Getting a horse (something I’ve desperately wanted for years. Had them growing up and loved it)
Worked in insurance for 9 months. Was treated like absolute shit, got paid way too little, and was told profits were what mattered, not the good of the patients. Came out of that job so broken and jaded.
Hopefully the shortage isn’t still going on. There was a huge shortage a couple years ago and I couldn’t get it anywhere. Had to resort to an enema to prep for my surgery.

Does anyone here have any tips for making cross stitching easier on hand joints?

Do you like olives?
I need to settle an argument I started. My argument: olives are gross....

Are there any household gadgets you found unexpectedly useful after you'd gotten them?

Do you dream? How often?
I saw another thread talking about dreams, I’ve had less than a handful of dreams throughout my life....

If I wanted to, hypothetically, guarentee that I shit my pants 2 to 6 hours from now, how should I do it?
