ITT: share uneventful, mundane, or just downright ordinary events from your everyday life.
Previous thread:
>>>/ot/2423171This thread is not for sharing random passing thoughts. This thread is for sharing mundane or otherwise ordinary events that you have experienced in your life. If your post does not contain a mundane event that you experienced, then it is off-topic and doesn't belong in this thread.
Lolcow is
NOT a chatroom. If you want to discuss a topic, you have to discuss it in the appropriate thread. All off-topic posts in this thread should be reported.
For anons that struggle to understand the topic of this thread:

find an appropriate thread to post about them. If your thought is about food, it can go in one of the food threads; if your thought is about a movie, it can go in the film thread on /m/; if your thought is about skincare, it can go in the skincare thread on /g/; etc., etc..

>>2442756Because this is Lolcow. We have different threads for different topics of discussion. This thread is for sharing mundane events that you have experienced. We have other threads for talking about food, or dreams, or whatever it is. There's nothing wrong with using the food thread for when you want to talk about food, or the dream thread for sharing dreams, it's actually better for the health of the board if many different threads are regularly used for their intended purpose.

No. 2443896
>>2443410NTA but yes you absolutely can! I taught myself to sew. When you mess up on your measurements, put on what you made, use pins and chalk to mark out where it needs to be altered, and alter it. Add strips of fabric if it needs to be longer/larger. Put it on again, mark it out again with more pins and chalk. Keep going until you have something that fits. It can look shit, as long as it fits you correctly.
That's your new pattern. Mark the pieces in pen, take it apart, add in any markings like notches, and you're good to go and sew something from your fashion fabric.
It's also a base for new patterns. Frankensteining a new pattern from a bunch of old ones saves so much time, you know it's going to fit you and the separate parts look good on you, it's just a case of making the new frankenpattern fit together in the way you want it to.
Look up different methods of drafting patterns if you struggle with the one you use now. Look at your own clothes, practice taking patterns from them, see how everything fits together. When you're making patterns on shitty practice fabric ALWAYS make sure it's got a similar weight and drape as your fashion fabric or you will regret it, trust me on this.
You could also make clothes for dolls. I have a BJD that I use when I'm drafting more complex patterns and don't want to waste a ton of fabric.
Also, please keep the grain of the fabric in mind. It might not be the cause of your pattern problems but it could be making them worse.

well, in 99% of cases. I had a dyke cousin who shaved her happy trail bc a girl was coming over and it came back thicker, wider, and longer. We shrugged our shoulders about it because it's not like she'd have to deal with men caring about it, but it was funny in retrospect. No. 2446176

Warning for kinda gross story if you're too queasy.
I live with my family in a 3 storey villa. We live in the 1st floor, anf use the ground one to store old furniture to sell it later to people who recycle it, while using the 3rd floor which has the rooftop and 2 rooms and bathroom as another storage room, to air the laundry, and to store excess food in an extra fridge there. Yesterday, I smelt a strong stench that I couldn't locate the source of, but thought maybe it's from outside since the neighbors were cleaning their septic tank, or from one of the bathrooms after someone took a shit or something. Later on that day, I went upstairs to the roof in the evening to catch the lunar eclipse (it wasn't visible in my country unfortunately) but I noticed the stench was way stronger there and there were tons of flied. I called on my one of my brothers and we got face masks, chloride spary, lemon scented cleaning spray, pesticide, gloves and trash bags to locate the source of the stench and get rid of it, thinking it was probably a dead mouse or gecko. Turns out, the fridge stopped working and the 5 kilos of ground beef we bought 2 days ago went bad…the smell was from the rotten meat all along. We threw it away and threw all the other items in the fridge because they all stank and we weren't sure if they were still good. We sprayed and cleaned everything and opened all the windows and the roof door, then I burnt some incense to further get rid of the smell. We are yet to get someone to take the fridge and get a new one. We lost $94 worth of ground beef. Today, the neighbors called and said they're gonna bring us some food they made, which is just a coincidence and out of kindness because they know our mom passed away a few months ago and they think we're probably struggling with food with no one to cook for us, even though I do cook. But I still appreciate the thought and their kindness, and the food was tasty. They brought some tuna sandwiches, bechamel tuna casserole, a salad, and some fried donut balls with honey and sesame seeds. They made my day with this tbh.

>>2446730Sure thing. Here's the receipt if you want to try it:
For the base: put onion, garlic, carrots, dill and parsley in a food processor, then stir fry them until they sweat, add your ground beef (I add ¼ a kilo), a tablespoon of tomato paste, one cube chicken bouillon, salt, pepper, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and Arabic 7 spice. Stir it all until your beef is browned thoroughly, add enough water to cover it up and let it simmer and cover it with a lid on low heat until all the water is gone. Once it is, kill the heat and let it cool down then start filling your samosa sheets and shaping them as triangles. It's tricky the first few times but you get used to it eventually. The trick is to buy the store made ones that are cut diagonally at one side and use that side to start the folding, fold it twice to create a pocket pinching the folded sheet between your index and thumb to keep it open, fill with 1 tablespoon of beef, if you over fill it, it won't seal properly so don't go overboard. Keep folding it to create the triangle shape and when you reach the end side, estimate how much of it can be tucked in and how much would be dangling out, and cut the extra dangling part so it would get tucked in properly and sealed. Deep fry them or brush them with oil and put them in the oven or air fryer for 10 minutes on high heat and flip them halfway through for the best golden browend and crispy results. Enjoy. It's unorthodox but I like dipping them in Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce and sesame oil mixed with grated garlic and some green onion slices for an extra dimension of flavor. Picrel is the samosa store bought sheets/dough so you don't have to make it from scratch yourself, unless you'd like to.

I had a very cute squishy stress toy in the shape of a cute animal but it suffered an accident and it died. I'm a bit upset to be frank, I can't replace it. What now? I don't know if buying something "similar" online could replace it. It had a specific shape (not pictured) and it was from a special store so I'm always going to think about it. I know it's stupid to get attached to an object but it doesn't happen often and I really liked the squish.

I was having a tough time before and I really fell off the wagon with healthy lifestyle habits, but I've gotten back to it and I feel really great. High protein/low card, 80 oz water a day, supplements, 1 cup of tea in the morning, teeth whitening, skincare 2x a day, 1 hour cardio a day (even though it makes me so hot and sweaty), cleaning my home. It feels really good to be taking care of myself again. I want to implement more but I need to focus on being consistent with these basics first.
