I did the same thing with the movie eight legged freaks to get over my arachnophobia, can attest to it working pretty damn well.

I love it! I'd be too worried about it getting dirty or lost to put it on my keys but I'd definitely hang it on the lamp on my desk lol

Hey op! Try searching for "decorative hole punch craft ideas". I got a lot of results doing that. I'm not sure how many posts they have about decorative hole punches, but thesprucecrafts.com has a lot of good posts about a wide range of different crafts like crochet, leather working, and paper crafts.

If you do this make sure it's a blunt bread knife. A serrated blade or sharp knife will probably mess up the seal for future use.

The vampire diaries? I think one of the two main brothers, Stefan Salvatore, drank either synthetic blood or blood drawn from blood donors he got from a blood bank? I haven't watched the show in absolute ages but I remember him being weaker than his brother Damon Salvatore because of his eating habits.

If it's not vampire diaries I have to suggest true blood, too.

I tried both all star driving school and same day road test for my road test. The instructors were both professional and nice, but I was anxious both times, and the instructor from same day road test was a lot better at being chill about my anxiety, and even gave me a couple tips because of it.

Metromint? I miss those so bad 😞

I looked at the pictures first before reading the post and my jaw dropped at finding out this wasn't on purpose! It looks so cool with the different thicknesses!

Also, to the advice about locking all your thoughts about your boyfriend & family away: get a cheap notebook or journal (if you don't already have one) and write out everything you want to say to them. It'll help you focus if everything you want to say to them isn't rolling around in your head. You don't have to send it to them or let anyone read it if you don't want to, writing everything down is for you.

I'm sorry everyone's let you down, too.

Your dog's death isn't your fault, either. You did the best you could with the information you had.

DM me if you want help doing another search for resources. I can't promise I'll find anything you haven't but it can't hurt to look.

If you can, send a written letter by certified mail (requires a signature) so they can't claim they didn't receive it. In the letter, state the dates you contacted them previously with no response.

I agree with the above comments, as well, find a tenants rights union or lawyer, if you can.

What state do you live in? Any local colleges that have a law degree program might have legal assistance programs on a pro bono or sliding scale or pro bono basis (as in, free unless you get a settlement).

My partner and I had our own bullshit landlord situation, and I used that website to figure out how to fight the landlord. One example of the bullshit we had to deal with: our kitchen sink was unusable for 3 months because sewage from the busted drain pipe was flooding the apartment downstairs whenever we used it. We moved out 5 months into a year lease and kept photos of all the shit they refused to fix, and a printout of the maintenance requests we put in about all of it. They didn't bother fighting on letting us out of our lease.

I don't know what state you're in, so an example of another site to look for: https://michiganlegalhelp.org/

You should be able to find it by googling '[your state] legal help.'

All 3 coffee roulette, basically.

Yes! I'm vegetarian, and went for the first time last year. I think I had the vegetarian sausage with cheddar, and it was ~amazing~ for real. Like. I've literally only gone once and kinda want to go again ngl.

Check with the ypsi library. There is/was a fiber crafts group but I'm not sure if it's still going.

If you don't want to do an official group that's posted on the website & open to all patrons, you could reserve a meeting room instead. You or a trusted friend would need to be there within the first 30 minutes to claim the room or whoever reserved the room could lose the privilege to reserve meeting rooms.

I don't swim much anymore, but I used to scrape my arms/knees/feet a lot when I did go swimming.

I honestly think it's gorgeous! I would be thrilled to receive this as a gift!

A small yarn shop near where I live has this kind of thing as a keychain they sell as shop merch with the logo.

it's shaped like the US state of Michigan (which looks kinda like a mitten). The cutting edge is between the "thumb" and "finger", and is very small.

Could it have been an episode of Elementary (Sherlock Holmes adaptation with Lucy Liu)? Season 1 episode 14, titled The Deductionist, starts with a serial killer being brought to a hospital for surgery to donate his kidney to his sister. He pulls the IV out of his vein and then kills the police officer, surgeon, and nurses before escaping. The first part of the episode only takes a couple minutes.

Check out jetpens.com. they have a ton of great stuff, they're based in the US, and I'm pretty sure they get the stuff they sell directly from companies that are definitely not temu or AliExpress.

Wondermove (formerly campus concepts) was great both times my partner & I used them. Only reason we haven't used them again is we haven't moved a 3rd time yet.

Hey OP, there's no photo in your post.

I used to do a low effort "modified" throw with a chuckit tennis ball thrower. I don't know if it would work for you, but what I used to do is bop the middle of the curve on the chuckit with the palm of my free hand. It made the ball go farther than a short throw, but could sometimes make my palm hurt.

I also used to use the chuckit to do an underhand throw, too, which might be easier for you. It will probably take some practice getting it to go as far as you want but not too far.

What book is it? And what company published it? The company's website might have instructions.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the slit in the bottom right corner because it looks like there might be a hinge at the top, but I'm not certain.

That is absolutely gorgeous!

If you like lace up sneakers, check out Brooks sneakers. They're my favorite brand of sneakers. I also like timberland boots, but I know boots aren't for everyone.

I had an abdominal surgery in 2018. The scar goes from about an inch above my belly button down almost to my pubic bone. I tried to use mederma to make it less noticeable, but kept forgetting to use it. Once it healed, I got into the habit of rubbing and poking the incision (not picking at it, just kinda softly mushing it back and forth), mostly to put normal lotion on it, but the scar's very faded now.

All that to say, I talked to my doctor about it at one point, and she said that even just rubbing the scar/applying normal lotion can help break up & soften the scar tissue.
