Mine is not nearly as bad as yours, but it is loud and doesn’t stop beeping when you open the door, just continues until its preprogrammed three loud beeps are over. I muted it when my kids were babies and have never looked back. I think a lot of people worry about muting their microwave because they think they won’t hear when it’s done or something. I’m here to tell you that you won’t miss it. Go forth and rip that speaker out with no regrets.
If I’m super tired but not willing to sleep yet for reasons (lack of free time other than the evening, being the main one), I usually put the tv on and play games on my phone. Not a great use of time but as we’ve established, tired.
If I’m tired but not that tired, I put the tv on and I knit. It’s my main hobby and I’m good at it, to the point that it usually doesn’t require much thought. My secondary hobby is sewing which is much newer for me and I can’t do that tired; I make too many mistakes.
It sounds like I watch a lot of tv, but in reality the period of 9-10:30pm is the only chance I get and not every night. So it’s not that much in the long run.
I bet it’s supposed to be a pseudo border around the whole room but we’re just seeing one wall so it looks super out of place. Can’t say it’s a design choice I would make though.
Surprisingly the opposite in my house. Even though my husband runs warm and I run cold, if I take a shower right after him, I always have to turn the temp down. He likes to get scalded or something.
I honestly forgot he existed
Five stairs at time down would break my ankles
I have a Bernina so I can’t speak personally to Singer quality these days. But here are my other thoughts.
I ended up buying a new machine to replace an old Kenmore because even though I had the manual, there was 0 information about the machine online, no help, no videos, nothing. When I ran into a problem getting the zipper foot to work, I had nowhere to turn. The snarky man at the repair shop asked me why I was bothering. (F him, I go to a different shop now.)
Regarding speed, mine has a speed setting. Have you found a speed setting for yours? There probably is one somewhere…
I’m now in my forties and I gotta say, my automatic needle threader is a godsend. I have to manually thread my serger needles and it takes me many minutes to pull off even with my reading glasses on, sigh.
PS your bench cushion looks awesome!
Canada? As if my American ass wasn’t envious enough of you Canadians!
Don’t get me wrong, I want the carbs but my gut disagrees!
Ha you might not know it from some of these replies! Might bust out some Campbell’s.
Maybe for dinner tonight…
Oooh heartburn be damned, that does sound good!
My hair is I guess what you would call barely wavy. If I let it air dry, the top is quite flat and the bottom curls under a bit. With coaxing, I can get the waves and curls to show up but it definitely takes some effort. I’ve always been envious of curly hair so I’m excited that mine isn’t as flat as I always thought but I wish it was a bit curlier. Oh well; grass is always greener.
My normal routine:
Lately I think I need a firmer gel. My hair is growing out and the weight makes everything limp. But I’m starting to think that shorter layers don’t give my wide wave room to develop. So we’re always trying new things over here.
I usually don’t bother refreshing; it comes out stringy. So I just brush it out a bit and most of the wave disappears.
A couple of my coworkers and I, all musicians, had kids around the same time and we all complained about being able to hear the loop in the rain or ocean “white” noises from various baby machines.
I’m kinda into pizza this way, sometimes. The frozen pizza I prefer has a thick crust kinda like this AI crust. But I 100% understand why people wouldn’t like it; I figure I’m in the minority. At least there’s enough of us that the grocery store sells a frozen pizza that I like.
Oh yeah /r/stupiddovenests was awesome.
I might be wrong and I’m happy to be corrected here. Isn’t it possible to stop getting your period because of high stress on your body? I would guess living through a post-apocalyptic situation might merit that level of stress. But I could be wrong; I have a pretty cushy life all things considered so it’s not like I have direct experience with this kind of thing.
One of the subreddits I miss terribly is /r/divorcedbirds. She would fit in nicely. But someone cleverer than me should come up with a good backstory.
The sentiment still stands. :) Just in case someone wanted to actually try something like this, hopefully my pedantry will make their web search easier.
We did that with PG&E. Except we did get something in return: lots of dead people.
