As I always told my kids when it came to eating mulberries, give them a quick once over, then enjoy. Because you don't want to get a good look at them.

I'd like to, but I need a home first, and if I stayed here, I wouldn't have the mental capacity to be able to perform a remote job, 😬 . So first things first, need money to pay for a place to stay. Then I can attempt that.

Spaghetti carbon-era would work, too.

In a really twisted way, Youtube is a fairly big reason why a good number of people go outside, take up hobbies, etc.

Well, if "media" is in general, I'd have to say television. I'll watch some things once in a while, but for the most part, I have way too much anxiety from a bad marriage. Audio books, and certain Youtube channels can trigger it, too.

There are very very few entertainers that have ever choked me up, but damn Richard Simmons and Newhart are definitely on that list. Rest well.

Ooh! Hmm! I'll have to look into them.

And wouldn't you know it, indeed now makes you enter in a phone number. I may not have this phone for long as it's not under my name, 😶

I'm rather curious about this, too.

I'll chime in with what I've personally dealt with.

Both Aroma brand

Glass lid, metal cooking pan has a lip that rolls outside of the heating base. Just a simple switch, cooking & warm. Does boil over once in a while, and fairly small...ease of cleaning, really really easy.

Enclosed unit, has a metal pan that goes inside and a steamer basket, has a removeable metal top to clean...haven't had it for long, but I can imagine the seals will deteriorate and make it not as long lasting as the other pan...However, those seals do make cleaning more difficult.

First issue I found, I needed to add a little water to the mixture so it would keep from pulling up the dirt as I tried to spread it on. Made it so I could just pour it over. Wtich means two things, I'll see how moisture reacts to it, and have to wait maybe two days for it to dry...which, if so, might make it really difficult in that I'll have to fill the unit with dirt before we move it (and it is quite heavy without the added dirt).

Update:

Well, I'll be damned. I used a heat gun and it dried up within seconds...Everything is back on schedule again, 😃

Woke up early, prepared my work area for making an arch for my niece's wedding. Wife doesn't like my thoughts on it, but that's nothing new.

Right now, I found a way to make the couch more comfortable (wasn't allowed to choose the couch, so got stuck with one that is uncomfortable as all hell, and hurts my spine). So I can sleep with my cats. Spine and food (GERD) is trying to kill me, though, but that's nothing new.

Man, I need to try to see if my anxiety would let me watch this. I loved the original, and I'd like to see how this one handles the pheasant episode. That's one of the few parts I can remember vividly. I'd really like to see if it's as gut wrenching as the first time.

God! Which one to choose?

The electrical company that let a drunk work because "he had 20+ years of experience", which was rather dubious...

Or furniture retailers that had delivery drivers...read that again delivery drivers, drive drunk/stoned/coked out, and they were well aware they were.

Or people trying (Eh, let me be a little more specific...People certifying drivers) to drive in careers where people with mental issues should not be driving...(One guy I knew drove onto the shoulder chasing an oversize load with two bicyclers. He missed them, but god damn)...

Or my entire fucking family who don't realize I'm getting bad at driving, and expect me to drive regardless that I might get somebody hurt...(I get a lot of flack for that).

but it's been at least a couple of weeks since cast-on which should tell you all you need to know about rate of completion 😅

Pshhh! That's nothing. I've got a grocery bag that I started over a year ago, and a pumpkin bag I started about 7 months ago...i swear I'll get to them...after I find where I put the patterns I wrote...:no_mouth:

Definitely requires a bit more concentration than I've been able to give lately, so I just keep defaulting to the socks instead.

Oof! Pain and the digestive issues from trying to get my pains taken care of have me in a daze most days. It's tough, but I am making headway...slooooowly, heh!

Am working on another duster for my swiffer thingies...I still don't feel up to recording a how-to yet, though. I'll get to it...i'll get to it.

Last night, I made a tiny ray out of this yarn, too.

I don't know anyone, and all my family that I could live with would be about as bad as my wife has been to me. I do have that job lined up and a possible place to stay, which it turns out I may be able to do part time and afford the place, so I can attempt to get a remote job during it (as long as my pains don't get too uncontrollable. Else, I'll become a mindless zombie, 😶 and blow all my money on expensive food as I won't be able to control my finances. The pains are really that extreme).

OOOOH! I had completely forgotten about the things I've collected over the years (in preparation for the pains being too great to work)...I could always sell them on route somewhere.

I've got at least about $600 worth of Native American style flutes (total spent is much higher, though, and was planning on leaving them for my nieces and nephews).

Also, I've got a lot of tools, Makita cordless (eh, probably about $200, $450 at maximum. They are old), Sroll saw, belt sander, stationary belt sander, cheap drill press (Probably not worth more than $250 to $400...They are definitely not the best machines...Well, except for the two belt sanders, however, there both worth no more than about $80, O_o).

Math books, though, they'd only bring about $100 to $175 (Number theory, combinatorics, abstract, linear mostly).

What else do I have? Not my computers...Those are about the only things that my body allows me to enjoy regularly, 🙁 . I do have some miniature cat trees for dollhouses I used to make. If I can sell those at full price, en route, that could bring about $175.

So there's a chance I could make it a month or two, 🤔 .

Are you planning to publish the pattern or is it just a personal satisfaction type of project?

Oh, I'm definitely going to publish it. I want to test out a couple of things (as I'm wanting it to have at least three patterns. A cup cozy, a lidded bag, and a regular bag).

This is the first design I made, and i think it'd be a good one to add for a small simple bag.

Also, with a few modifications it'd make a cool hat, heh. Put a stem and some leaves on it? Oh heck yeah, 😄

Oof! Good luck. I gave up most years because they're such a nuisance. I did have small luck with vinigar and peppermint, but only very small.

Also, grasshoppers...holy halibuts, batman! I've never seen something sheer gourds to nothing like this year. So even trying gourds to deal with the squash bugs didn't work.

Although it's a pretty sheltered location, but wouldn't the baking soda dissipate with any moisture? Humidity, rain, and/or snow?

Edit: I just thought about it, and what I'll do is run an experiment. I can place some near my kitchen sink's handle. Water dripping from my hand and the humidity should give me a good idea how it'd work outside.
