Pumpkins?

I originally posted this in the Olathe sub with no response, so I thought I’d try here too.

Does anyone know where or if the guy that usually sets up and sells pumpkins at Santa Fe & MurLen is located this season now that the lot he was in is now on its way of becoming a QT?

I know what I got!

While pursuing a few antique shops I stumbled on to these gems… That take ZERO craftsmanship or talent. There’s often modern crafts in booths, especially in vintage newer item shops, versus granny’s basement and grandpa’s barn type antique shops, but the audacity, I had to do a triple take to make sure I was reading the first tag right and it got worse! Bitch, these blankets are not sewn or quilted. Congrats you cut strips and tie knots. It appears I missed taking a pic of one for $175.

Was blindness more common back then?

Obviously Mary, Adam and the blind school, but there are a lot of episodes with blind characters. The artist girl, the girl that fell in love with Mr. Edwards, the kid who fell out of a tree, the big kid who found redemption playing football, the fur trapper too afraid to leave his property, Albert faking it so his bio dad would let Pa adopt him. A kid with abandonment issues…

They made blindness something to fear that could happen at any time, like getting caught in quicksand!

I think she’s about ready?!

I posted this in r/gardening with ZERO responses 🙄 I wish I had a naughty veggie I grew for extra fun, instead I added one of my cats.😻

The deets:
Crimson Sweet, ropy stem, tendril got damaged early, but what’s left of it is nearly gone, her skin is rough and the sheen is gone. Since she’s hanging there’s no field spot so I’m stuck with subtle cues on being ripe… Also Zone 6 (KC) if that helps.

What’s the consensus here, is she ready to harvest or wait a week?

The Mule Never Forgets

The first five minutes of season 4 of Ted Lasso, was a CMSU joke! That was unexpected!

(Yeah I know, it’s UCM but for some of us Mules & Jennies it’ll always be CMSU) Class of 2000

It just needs a sign that says “FREE!” (that’s what’s left after I snagged a few, ok… a lot)

Here’s to the crazy ones

Whether you love the brand or not, I just had a thought about Think Different and the Crazy Ones. I feel like this embodies us as a generation.

As a creative, I’m a lifelong Apple user. They’ve been a major part of my livelihood since my undergrad. I’ve always been the one to Think Different and have definitely lived up to this poem. I think it fits for a lot of us still. I kinda wish Apple was the loner in the crowd again challenging the status quo.

We made the changes, developed what younger generations take for granted. But we know…

Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them,
glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
While some may see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Why do I need to wind a hank into a ball?

To elaborate, is there a reason I can’t just start using the yarn as-is from the hank? I’ve read bits and pieces here about stretching or something like that?

I’m not a new crocheter but I’ve always bought wool or silk yarns already wound in a skein. I bought a few hanks of nice yarn for some delicate cowl patterns for gifts and now I need to know for real what I’m supposed to do with them and why.

I have a ball winder but I still need to get a swift for hanks, I’ve used it for rewinding skeins that get unruly with some makeshift tactics, otherwise I do it by hand with leftover yarn.

First Joe Don Baker, Now Schlitz…

I hope it’s not behind a paywall. There’s a Change.org petition to save the beer that we chuckle at.

Thinking of driving for Uber for World Cup

I’m new to the sub, and I’ve read a lot of the cons here along with some good stories.

But I figured I’d ask if there were any suggestions or things to look out for or to take advantage of as a newbie.

As the title says, I live in a host city and several teams that aren’t even scheduled to play here have selected our area as their home base because of the training facilities, so the teams and their fans will be here for the whole tournament less a few days for travel and competition. The city has a shuttle system set up for airport trips and for regional sightseeing as well as obviously to the stadium for games. But there’s a whole lot of places the shuttles won’t be and they aren’t running 24 hours… I figure there’s a lot of fans that won’t be using the shuttles anyway which leaves a lot of opportunity.

I own my vehicle outright, a Jaguar F Pace Premium. From what I read I won’t qualify for Uber Black because the interior isn’t all black. The seats are beige leather and the rest of the trim is black. The car is black, and the rear seats are heated. I did get a waterproof seat cover for the back seats but it’s nylon and looks awful with the black clips. But I’m terrified of people scratching up or damaging my pristine beige seats… I also have Weather Tech floor mats to help keep the interior clean. I’m unsure what I can do to protect the interior of my vehicle while still making a good experience for riders. My other car is a Mustang so it doesn’t qualify at all since it doesn’t have 4 doors.

I planned on getting some back seat organizers for tissues, bottles of water, mints/candies and providing USB C and Lightning charging cords for the charging ports in the rear center consoles.

I’m a female, and would love to know some best practices to make the most of driving for Uber to make a few extra bucks while our city is inundated with football/soccer fans. Also, despite my own thoughts on my appearance, I also know I’m not hideous and look younger than I am - 40s, I get hit on often by men and women older and younger than me - so I know my safety is a risk, especially when picking up drunks is involved. So I’d appreciate any insights regarding that as well.

I wasn’t planning on signing up for Lyft too since I only plan on doing it two months at the most, with some leading up to and after the World Cup. I don’t think there will be any shortage of riders to make up for the usual gaps to sign up with Lyft too.

I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I’ve tried making egg drop soup a lot and I can never get the flavor I crave from the kind I get at Chinese restaurants. I’ve tried every “authentic” or “family” recipe I can find. I’ve got the egg technique down, I can’t get the flavor right.

How do I make the golden goodness I love so much?
