Hey all! Looking for recommendations for a house collar or ID collar. My GP is currently has a thicker collar, but looking for something thinner/more comfortable. This isn't used for walks, it's purely so he's got ID tags on at all times - so if he escapes or slips his harness, he's still got his ID on. The thicker collar seems so uncomfortable for him. I also think that something that blended in a bit more so it was almost invisible would look a little nicer.

Anyone use something they love? Or a style that has worked well with the giant ruff of a great pyrenees? I'm seeing some cute "house collars" on etsy, but they don't really look adjustable, but most adjustable things have to be wide e

Hey all!

A year ago I received a Christmas gift from Japan - a large heavy platter, that arrived broken and in many pieces. I've been thinking of trying kintsugi to repair it ever since.

I found Lakeside Pottery's tutorial: https://youtu.be/MMugGpEiAP8 and thought perfect! This is it! It's so detailed and beautiful. They do a 2-ish stage process. Joining and filling first, then gold onto the lines. The result is stunning and would do this beautiful piece justice.

But their gold application is a proprietary metal alloy that they don't sell. I really think this multiple stage process turns out great. I like the idea of using clear epoxy and getting a good tight fit before doing a thin gold

Please tell me I did not make this up in my head, no amount of googling is giving me an answer. I'm planning to make a blanket that is mostly in stockinette - so long rows of purls.

I swear that I have heard of a technique where two balls of yarn are used so that when you are doing a pattern that is mostly stockinette, you can knit every row on the RS instead of purling the WS rows, avoiding having to do whole rows of purls. You could just knit the whole thing instead. However, I cannot remember how this would work!

Did I make this up? Is there a way? Is it going to unfortunately involve joining a new yarn every single row? Because I don't think that would ultimately save me any effort/ti

Basically what the title says. I have a coworker who recently lost her mother to a terminal illness. She's been trying to get pregnant the entire time her mom was ill, and only the week before her mother passed announced that she was pregnant. Many people found out about it in the obituary.

The loss of a parent is simply unimaginable to me, I'd like to send her something thoughtful. I have her address and could ship something to her (I don't want her to be bombarded by reminders of her mom at work this soon). Another friend is sending her a baby book about the loss of parent while expecting and I thought that was such a great idea. Any ideas whether related to being expecting or not?

Hello doctors of reddit!

34f 5'4" overweight (probably 210-230). I currently take famotidine daily and no other meds. Non-smoker. For decades now I've been having what I think are allergic reactions. I'm wondering now if that's actually the case or if it's really something more (or less) concerning.

It feels like being stabbed in the center of my chest repeatedly. It is generally worse when I'm actually eating something, but sometimes it feels awful even when I'm doing nothing, or simply swallowing. It comes in waves, the pain gets super intense and then fades out to nothing. I might have several waves back to back, or one every 5 minutes, or every 30 minutes, depending on the severity of

That about sums it up. I've had so many problems woth my fobs. I just changed both to fresh batteries. They are working to lock and unlock the doors so they are not in sleep mode. Yet when I get in the car - no key fob detected. Using one of the key fobs to start makes the car alarm go off and the car doesn't start.

Sometimes the hatch randomly lifts. At this point I'm not even sure what the problem is because it's doing a bunch of different things.

What do I do now?

Would like to get a gift for my SIL who is moving to Seattle in the spring. Not sure what neighborhood she'll be in. She's married with a kid and a dog. Typically pretty adventurous. Was thinking about gift cards themed around a neighborhood? Like a bookstore, a bakery, a coffee shop, and a wine shop all kind of in the same area, so she could make a day of it. Doesn't have to be those places specifically, but you get the idea. My other option would be to splurge it all on one thing like a spa or massage? I'd rather help her explore the local culture though!

I did poke around in the search bar and found a couple of spa recommendations, but not quite what I'm looking for.

All recommendations

I ruined my nicest leather bag with water damage. I'm looking for someone I can trust to either fix it or dye it or do something to make this less horrible. Google reviews are not helping. Any recommendations for someone really great with leather repair?

Thanks in advance!
