Thank you, great advice!

I’m so glad I’m not alone! I think you’re right and it could be a little bit of both. I took the advice here and reported over 200 today alone - that’s just insane!

Exactly! I thought I may be the only one since the account is so old, but it’s good to hear I’m not alone (no offense intended).

I will start this week. It’s one of those things that I’ve known that I should do for a very long time, but just have been putting off because it’s a pain in the butt. I guess how’s the time, huh?

Very true!

I know (sigh). I should probably start migrating to something else, but there are soooo many things that are tied to this email account. I need to find out if I can forward from outlook to something else - that might help catch anything that might fall through the cracks.

Thanks, that’s kind of what I figured. What a pain in the butt though!

At 50+, I get it almost daily. I never had it before. Not sure if its the state of the world we live in now, aging, or a combination of both. All I know is I’m glad I’m old and won’t be around to see some of the stuff I’m scared of.

Thanks everyone. I didn’t mean to start a debate, I just wanted to know the average tip. With the rising costs of food, delivery has gotten very expensive for the same amount of food and same delivery trip, yet the tips keep going up on my end. I want to be fair, but don’t want to go broke either.

I totally agree. Folks are much nicer here and I feel more free to make a comment, no matter how mundane. I’m commenting and posting more than I ever would before because no one beats me up here. I still have the fear of posting anything because of the backlash, but I think that’s ptsd from the other site and I’m getting over it slowly but surely. I love this place.

Just for fun -

Once a molicepan met a bittle lum Sitting on the sturbcone eating gubber rum Mmmm said the molicepan, simme gum Not on a sam dight said the bittle lum

Growing up in the 1930s, mom said the was the girls favorite pastime - swapping letters of different phrases.

I know you were looking for more serious things, but this was fun for me to memorize years ago and try to put into play with other phrases.

Loaf

I’m new, an original refugee and don’t understand everything yet. I’m finding this place much more friendly and helpful and like it much better. I’m older (55) and used to work in IT, but all this still baffles me. I’m not going back because I abhor what’s going on. I’m hopeful that with time, all my favorite subs will be here and I already spend a lot of time here. I feel much more free to comment without fear of retribution and that’s a welcome relief. It was rather ostracizing on Reddit to feel that I shouldn’t comment because of all the negativity I would get. My life’s hard enough without getting put down for every little thing I said. I love it here and I’ve only been here for a week or so. Thanks everyone for being so nice.

Thank you!! I literally had no idea about this. You rock!

Thank you!!! I have a feeling I’ll spend a lot of time there :)

And much more friendly

I couldn’t agree more. I already feel much more welcomed and am not as hesitant to post comments in fear of the negative nellies. I’ve got a lot to learn here, but am loving what I see. So glad there’s a quilting community, even if there’s only a handful of us. I’m sure we’ll multiply quickly!

Yup, that’s another one I’ll miss.

Me too. Loved that sub.

Thank you! I did a search last night for quilting, but it came back with 0 communities. It’s probably me though, I just joined and am still figuring out how to use everything. I’m sure I did something wrong.
