Hello! I’m inspired by Tour de Fleece and have had a top whorl drop spindle for ages because at one point I bought a beginner kit. I’m getting very frustrated with the combed wool top (I think Suffolk) that came with it. Very certain it’s user error, and not the actual wool though. Instead of being frustrated I thought I’d try something else. I had some leftover plutolopi (pencil roving) in my stash and that seems to be working.

Just wondering if there’s any reason not to use that? The goal is really to just get used to the spindle and the park and draft method more than anything else and then have another go at using a combed wool top. What do you think? 😊

Hello,

I was sharing with my therapist that a person in my life constantly judges me, and the therapist got very angry and annoyed with this person for doing that. I guess she was trying to show me its okay to be angry at things like this, and maybe even encouraging me to get angry. But really I'm not angry and I don't think her anger or frustration is helpful for me. Its not really distracting but I'm just left wondering what the point is? I'm not going to get angry with this person in my life, so it feels pointless? I'm okay bringing up things with her that I disagree with, and have done that in the past, but I'm not sure if I'm overreacting here? Obviously she's allowed to have her own emotions about what I tell her so I don't want to police that, but its also my therapy only and I honestly don't like her doing this. What would you do?

My (f) new partner seems to struggle with getting and staying hard. We’ve only been together for a very short amount of time but he’s been very communicative with me about it so far, and - I think - that I’ve been very supportive in my responses. He’s told me he felt cared for, and comfortable when it was first brought up.

The more time we spend together, the less sure I am of how to address it? Do I mention it? If so, inside or outside the bedroom? Do I leave it to him? He hasn’t told me a great amount of detail, but I want him to enjoy sex and I want to enjoy sex too. Where do I go from here? What would you like your partner to do?
