KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You're old, but are you excited-to-buy-a-new-rug old?English1·13 days agoI have been saving all my leftover yarn for years until I feel like I have enough to crochet a rug with 3 or 4 strands held together. I also am saving worn out fabric like sheets and tshirts to make an eventual rag rug. I just realized over the weekend that one of these types of rugs would work very well in my camper, and I wouldn’t need a large one. I have enough scraps saved that I could make it finally!
KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You're old, but are you excited-to-buy-a-new-rug old?English1·13 days agoI can not wait to be old enough for senior discount days at grocery stores, IHOP, state & national parks. I think that falls somewhere between excited-to-buy-a-rug old and test-driving-walkers old.
KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s an unspoken rule that absolutely everyone should know, but most people clearly don’t?English9·22 days agoOr at the top of the stairs/ escalator you just came up. There are people behind you with nowhere to go while you decide which way you want to go.
KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you prove that you're from the future?English2·26 days agoElvis Presley dancing was considered borderline obscene not that long ago comparatively, so you might end up in the sanitarium if you said “hey, watch me floss!”

KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the generic but world famous 'Happy Birthday to You' song was actually copyrighted until 2016English12·1 month agoI always thought this is why Olive Garden, Red Lobster, whatever 80s/90s fad chain restaurant sang their own birthday songs for patrons.
Happy happy birthday…<br> It’s your special day…<br><br> happy happy birthday<br> That’s why we’re here to say HEY!<br><br> Happy happy birthday<br> may alll your dreams come true<br><br> happy happy birthday<br> from Bennigans to you…HEY!

KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which patreons do you support financially?English5·1 month agoJust a handful, but I usually will add a new one when it hooks me enough that I can’t stop binging it.
KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•ALICE detects the conversion of lead into gold at the LHCEnglish16·1 month agoLead, thallium, mercury… metals not friendly to direct human contact. I find it rad that if we add a few more protons we get a pretty, shiny metal that won’t melt our brains.*

KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?English1·2 months agoThe hvac control panel.
The furnace and ac units are both great, but the control panel will sometimes just, idk, dissociate. I can change settings and it displays them, but they don’t “take”. It won’t relay those changes to its bigger brethren. In order to snap it back to reality, I have to go out to the garage and flip the breaker because there’s no other way to power cycle it.
There are spiders in the garage. And they are prolific with their webs, especially where I need to walk to get to the breaker panel.
So when the hvac panel glitches, it’s a whole ordeal to fix it.
KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What games have you and your cat co-discovered thru randomness and play?English4·2 months agoMy mom and her calico would play tag. It started as peek-a-boo where she hid and the cat stalked her, but then kitty would run off and wanted to be stalked back. When either one was found, you had to go “boo!” with spooky claw fingers.
KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are you able to hear your blood flow/ heartbeat in your ear?English3·2 months agoYeah, chronically low. Technically just barely within normal, but too low to donate. I’ve got other things going on, and see my doc every 3-6 months (with labwork). I guess it’s just normal enough to not be fiddled with now yet still annoying.
KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are you able to hear your blood flow/ heartbeat in your ear?English1·2 months agoI hear it frequently too and bp is low-normal. I can hear it when my ear is laying on a pillow, and I also hear my ear moving with the pulse against the fabric, not just hearing the pulse on its own. This will be in the middle of the night (i.e. no activity, low resting heartrate). But I can also sometimes hear it when I’m sitting upright. I hear it after doing cardio, which may be normal. The ear wiggling thing against the pillow irritates me tho because it keeps me awake and I prefer side sleeping.

Also, I was out on the Mall with them for fireworks.
KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do I get my boyfriend back? It hurts so muchEnglish3·2 months agoAsk him if he could trust you again if you deleted your tiktok and IG accounts. And then delete them.
Or if you don’t wish to do that, and want to keep making money from followers, then your guy is saying that’s his boundary to protect his heart.
You can’t control what your followers will send to you. If he’s not ok with that, then your choice seems to be him or the extra money, but not both. That sucks and it hurts, but it also means that having both was never really a possibility.
KittenBiscuits@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something that's free that everyone should know about?English7·2 months agoThat’s such a great idea!
I have a crazy long hallway and found it so hard to get a runner that I love and is long enough. I ended up going with 2. But I wish I had thought of piecing them together and had bought a third one to do so. 2 isn’t enough with the way the pattern repeats, and they don’t quite cover the entire hallway.
So I care. I’m quite impressed that you made your mega-rug a reality!
