@AdultAuDHD @maddyhd_ I feel that way about open plan homes and large family gatherings. Ooof, so much noise, I usually find a corner with my nephew and just hunker down.

@HowtoADHD Same. I know several teens who would benefit from and ESP.

@YarnDatabase Please, please, please tell me it's called The Anne Sweater due to the majestically puffed sleeves!

@Schereeya We had a lovely talk with our older kiddo, who is enby, about transition and using their name/pronouns more openly. Seeing their face was a miracle!

@ToddGernert That was us, yesterday. NYC is absolutely Machiavellian when it comes to HS selection.

@StolenStitches My mom taught me the basics one day when she was tired of my complaining that I was bored. Everything from then I learned on my own.

@GermanderCC I like to have something I've seen before in the background while I work. Thanks!

@GGmadeit I've got two serious projects on my needles - a Palm Your Knits Tshirt from Knittying Tipsy that just needs ribbing and a bind off, and a Boneyard shawl by Stephen West...I'm running low on the yarn I picked, so I am planning a fade and a coordinating color.

@anne_theriault The Woman (Scandal in Bohemia) Baskerville and there's one where Jeremy Brett portrayed him as a more caring Sherlock, that I can't remember at the moment. Between Brett as Holmes and The Nine Tailors (Sayers) I had strong opinions about the moors when I was a teen.

@GermanderCC I am teaching myself continental knitting, First knit stitch, then purl. My hands are crap, and I need an easier, lighter grip. So far, so good.

@kariebookish Welp - now I'm even more of a fangirl than I was before. I would totally follow a @kariebookish stationery account, if it matters.

@katriddell I feel you there - I wear leg braces to protect my wobbly knees from a lack of cartilage..the side eye is REAL.

[Diane S @painlessmama]

@EverydayKnitter That's a whole Dr. Who Holiday special right there!

@Indigogirls I love the West Wing more than I ought to admit. Danny is hot..but my heart is forever Toby's.

[Diane S @painlessmama]

@fionaleslie We keep ours in for that reason. (And we're on the ground floor. Strictly speaking, they were always for legal purposes..)

The renewal of the church will not start with microphones on stages, it will start with meals around tables.

@WhatTheADHD "Can you make a brief presentation?"
