And yes - they agreed to do so weeks ago. And yes - they're grown-ass adults.

In my defense, the Yule Tree is *still* outside because certain people didn't move the necessary furniture, nor did they do the pre-vacuuming. Both things are required before bringing the tree inside.

They've literally had weeks. It's why I finally went and got the tree yesterday. 🤬

I guess this is my official holiday ranting thread.

Did I just throw a holiday tantrum? Yes. Yes I did.

Soon it will be time for my favorite drink:
1 part Peach (or any other berry/fruit) schnapps
1 part Jägermeister
1 part Chambord

Shaken and poured over ice. 😊❄🎄🎉🎄❄

#HappyYuleSeason!

Yule Tree acquired.
Last year: Dec 19 or so.
This year: Dec 14!

😃🎄❄💕🎄❄

Yule pj's acquired for my family! 🎄❄ I feel like I just leveled-up. Earliest I've ever managed to get this done. 😃

I just realized that my low-key crush on Richard Dean Anderson is why I've been a hacker my whole life. Watching MacGyver as a smart kid made me realize "oh! I can do *this* with my intelligence? Sign me up!" before age 10. I had a poster of that guy on my wall for *years* as a kid. Right next to the Miami Vice poster of course 🤣

Well, looks like I'll be even more regularly offline for a few hours/days/weeks. SG-1 (10 seasons) is streaming. I'm going to go roll around in my late-90s optimism happy place for awhile. 😊

To everyone who responded to my post about my dad:

THANK YOU!!!💕💓💕💓💕💜💕💓💕💓💜💕💓💕

The situation is being rapidly addressed. Your suggestions were key to helping him. Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!

Anyone know a good disability lawyer or advocate? My father is being abused by his spouse/caregiver.

Thank you.

So I've already finished the upper hand portion of one glove, now I'm working on the thumb portion. I unraveled roughly 1.5 inches since the thumb had been accidentally cut due to getting snagged on some metal. Here you can see the 14 sts back on 3.25mm needles. The white string is the safety-line. I'll be re-knitting the thumb with 4.0mm needles [which is a size smaller than the original knitting], but it's always easier to pick up sts using smaller sized needles.

If I were to start selling digital knitting and needlepoint patterns, how much should I charge? I'm thinking $2.50 for beginner/moderate cross-stitch patterns, $5.00 for advanced, and similar difficulty-rating pricing on knitting patterns. Thoughts? Thank you.

Woo-hoo! It's repair-the-gloves-already-we've-been-waiting-forever season. lol. Thank the Goddess for safety-lines in knitting. 🤣

[unraveling knitting always unravels my seriousness by quite a bit]

Yes - pictures will be posted.
