I don't see it on the list that's posted here (thank you for compiling that list).

Are any of you a member of a sewing guild? I'm thinking about joining one, and I'm curious what others' thoughts are about them.

Does anyone know the type of vehicle driven by people like Karissa Collin, Anna Duggar, etc? How do they get a family of 11 or 8 anywhere?

Just curious whether any of you do smocking. I used to smock a lot but haven't in awhile. I wonder if it's a "lost art."

Maybe it's because this is a new year, and I've been thinking about what I want to do better this year than last. I've been thinking about how I feel after I've posted or read posts, and trying to understand what motivates me to do so.

That led to wondering how other people would answer those questions about themselves.

Anyone care to weigh in?

Beginner at Instagram. I have an account. I'm following Bethany Beal. When I click, the story begins (her mom is talking, but switches to next screen about 10 seconds into the story.

So, surely, despite her appalling lack of education and preparation for a newborn, surely SOMEONE in her life would have told her to put baby on his back. Either she's (once again) totally clueless, or she's doing an in-your-face to Internet Land. Who knows, her anti-vax, essential oils-drenched, crunchy "experts" may be telling her it's fine.

(Program Coordinator here. Feel free to boot me out if my posting here is inappropriate. ) As Administrators push post-encounter evaluations by patients, I shake my head and wonder when this is going to backfire on them. The randomly selective nature of the process -- while understable from a theoretical stance -- makes no sense in medicine. The drug seeker is going to poorly rate the physician who tells him the state database just now revealed his search for meds. The less informed and pessimistic personality is never going to give high grades. Even the most enlightened and appreciative patient is going to have trouble accurately rating excellent care if he's just received a scary diagnosi

I'm in the U.S. I've never understood what is meant when British people refer to their "tea" time. Please help me understand. Here's what I mean... I'll watch a show or read a book in which it's clear that "tea" means a mid-afternoon break involving tea and sweets. Then I'll read something that refers to "the family had tea and then blah blah" in which the context leads me to think they're talking about dinnertime being tea.

UPDATE: Thank you so much to all who replied! It's been great fun reading it all. Very enlightening, especially for someone like myself who doesn't drink tea at all, unless it's summertime, and it's a tall glass of iced tea. Must run, I'm off to my "dinner" (evening

There's a lot of discussion in politics around this topic, and I'd like to hear your thoughts about the issue. Thanks in advance for any responses!

I have way too many old photos, videos, family-related documents, journals, writings, etc. It's so overwhelming.

If I had tons of money to do it, I'd pay someone or a company to digitize it for me. But I don't. So I won't.

Due to factors I don't want to post publicly, I am very proactive about protecting my mental health....in other words, not letting such issues cause me to worry, fret, ruminate, etc.

I have recently been moving my perspective towards this:

1. Digitize whatever I keep, with the expectation of ending up with keepsakes totally no more than ONE plastic storage tub. Objects not saved, but important enough to warrant it, will be photographed (digitally).
2. Strive for di
