(Ophelia) I’d be happy to see any of your grandmother’s works if you’d want to show them. (This is in response to what you said in the tags of our previous conversation.) If you no longer feel comfortable showing it that’s okay too, opinions change over time. Either way, I’m sure the bears look lovely as they are your grandmother’s handiwork. Also, Happy Holidays if there are any that you celebrate at this time. That might sound a bit strange to say after the rest of this message, I’m sorry if it does.

oh hello ophelia!! that's very sweet of you, and I'd love to show some of my grandma's work! I don't have access to a lot of it, seeing as I live halfway across the country and also she wasn't well enough to make things for the last several years, but I do have a few things that I can show!

(I'm putting this under a readmore so I don't take up space with the photos! and also me talking)

[ID: Two white bear-like stuffed animals sitting with each other in a chair. One is a lot bigger than the other, about the size of a child. The body is stuffed a lot more than the legs and arms, making it very round. It wears nothing but a homemade hat and bowtie, a faint smile on its face. The second bear is very similar, only closer to a normal stuffed animal size and sitting in the lap of the first bear. This one wears a plain red hair with a purple plume and stripped overalls. A green tie is attached to the front and all items of clothing are made by my grandma. /End ID.]

These are the bears that I mentioned in the other post!! They're bears closer to the way a teddy bear is a bear and not like an actual bear, but they've been around for as long as I can remember. They're probably older than me. And also they do have ears you just can't really see them! My sister and I each have a specific thing associated with grandma's house from all our visits. Mine is the clock that tells time that doesn't exist (now that I type this I'm realizing I don't think I've actually mentioned that on tumblr, only on discord. so if I haven't and you'd like an explanation I'd be more than happy to!! it was always one of my favorite parts of visiting) and my sister's are these two bears.

We always stay in the same room when we visit (as in we sleep together in the same room, and the room we stay in is the same every time), and both the clock and the bears are located in said room. There's actually a huge collection of dolls that my grandma made that are currently just sitting on a the shelves in her sewing room. Wait hang on I think I actually have a picture I can add.

[ID: A very cluttered collection of shelves. Every available surface has some kind of doll or stuffed animal on it, things with faces like scarecrows, others with bodies like mice and bears, others similar to cabbage patch dolls. All are made by my grandma. It's not clear in the picutre, but the area is very dusty and looks like it shouldn't be disturbed. /End ID.]

So these are the kinds of things she would make! Well, one small section of the things she made. She made a lot of clothes, too. Anything sewing related. She made quilts (i'll get to that later) and dresses and pants and shirts and vests and aprons. In fact, the only apron I've ever had that I can remember was made by her. It's still hanging in the kitchen for whenever I need it, I just don't usually wear an apron when I bake.

Going back to the clothes thing, I wasn't around enough for her to really make me a wardrobe the way she did for my mom as a kid, but she would always make my sister and I these pajama dresses. She'd make us one every Christmas and I wore them so much. There was this one with heart fabric that I loved so much I wore it even when the cuffs fell off after so many washes (idk why we didn't just...repair the before they got to that stage, but it's fine!) I still have one of them in my dresser, but I haven't worn it in a long time. It'd probably be really short on me now (not completely unwearable, just teetering on the edge), but I wore them so much as a kid. I don't have a photo of it though.

but back to the bears real quick! I got distracted by the dolls

[ID: A close up photo of the hat the large bear was wearing in the first photo. It's covered in sewing materials like buttons, a pin cushion, and spools of various colored threads. Instead of a ribbon, a tape measure is wrapped around the base. The pattern of the base fabric isn't obvious, but it seems to be several different floral fabrics. /End ID.]

This is the hat that the big bear wears!! I think it's interesting enough to get it's own photo because it looks so cool. I don't think it would ever be practical for an actual person to wear, but it's great for the bear! and seeing as she worked at fabric stores for like a decade and a half, she had a lot of access to things like pin cushions and spools of thread. I mean, she's also got a ton of them in her sewing room, but she always preferred the magnetic pin holders and liked to use the thread to actually sew things.

I actually sewed with her at least once, but never anything like this. I wasn't experienced enough at the time, so she was mainly showing me how to use this hemming machine. I'd used a regular sewing machine before (and still use it to this day), but not the hemming one. You know how clothes sometimes have that hem that looks all loopy and crossed over itself? that's what the machine does. I'd like to have one, but I don't sew enough at the moment to justify it. I' good with the Bernina my family has, which is like a 1008 or something.

But moving on!

[ID: A quilt on my bed with a repeating pattern. The backgroung is a bunch of various colored small squares in cool colors. The squares don't really have patterns, but are more demure. This allows the yellow four-pointed stars to stand out more, and they are evenly spaced throughout the entire quilt.]

This! this quilt is the main thing I have that my grandma made. As a seamstress, she decided that she wanted to make each of her grandchildren a quilt. There are seven of us, so we each got a quilt. Mine is currently on my bed (there was a period of time where I would have it intentionally upside down because I liked the back fabric), but my sister's is stored away so I don't remember what it looks like. I also don't think I've ever seen my cousins' quilts at all, but I know we all have them.

The quilt has a little tag in the corner that isn't picture that has my name on it with a little Love Grandma on it. Well, it has my deadname, but that's because she made it before I changed my name. I actually have a few children's books sewn by her with my deadname too, but that's from when I was like a toddler so I don't mind.

I've made a quilt before myself, but never anything like this. I made a small tessellation quilt for a project in 4th grade (yea, that was an assigned project in fourth grade for some reason) and another more freestyle one for a contest in 5th grade, which I won 1st place in. But those were on a much smaller scale than this quilt.

When I was younger I loved to find the mistakes in the quilt, because even experts mess things up sometimes. In a quilt with a repeating pattern like this, the mistakes are the orientations of some of the quilt squares, so the stars and their points don't all line up properly. And given that it is a repeating pattern, it would take me a few minutes to find them each time because everything blends together and also I would forget where the mistakes were.

so those are a few of the things my grandma made that we have around the house. There are others like our sewing bag and all the photos my parents probably have of those pajama dresses, but I hope you enjoyed at least part of it! She was an incredibly talented seamstress and loved everything to do with sewing. She even requested that an image of a sewing machine be put on her headstone, though I don't think that's been done yet.

It's because of her that I got introduced to some of the crafts I enjoy like latchhooking and crossstitching, so it's nice to be able to share some of her crafts.

And happy holidays to you, too! My family isn't huge on Christmas (it technically isn't our holiday as we're baha'i, but we have enough family and friends who celebrate that we get sucked in and just go with it). And it's not a weird thing to say after that message! If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you enjoyed it <33

#she had so many projects #I only ever got to see a small small percentage #but her being a seamstress meant my mom learned a lot #and even though she never really got into it she was able to teach me some #my mom often jokes that the creative gene skipped her and went straight to me #and even though I focus more on literature and fantasy I do still love fabric crafts #i hope to do more soon #I love altering my clothes #I just forget that I can #but I hope you enjoyed some of this!!#she was great when it came to sewing #quil's queries #ophelia nonsie #tw death

I have a lot of feelings about the resurgance of the abortion debate in the US and as a result other western countries (Canada specifically) atm. I figured I needed to write them down and while it won’t add anything new to the discussion I hope the humanizing element might help someone somewhere sometime.

I grew up going to Catholic school. My parents definitely believe in God and we go to church but they also taught us that the word of the church is not gospel (pun intended.) My dad, who is not catholic, used to joke that we (my mum and her family, and by extension I) had a very protestant view on catholism. None the less I was a product of my environment and learned in school that abortion was wrong. I remember going into my mum’s room at the age of... probably about 11? And asking her if I could explain my debate style logic for why abortion was wrong. She sat there quietly and listened to me while I grinned with pride at what I thought was a good arguement then told me that if that is how I felt that was fine. Her affect did not convey it’s intended horror to me until years later.

In high school debate club our advisor said the line he had always been taught was that there are three things you do not insert into a debate: the existance of God, Hitler/Nazis, or abortion. In high school and university I took some philosophy classes and ruminated a lot on issues of existance/life and of liberty/autonomy. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that I could not seeing myself ever having an abortion; if it came to that adoption would probably be a better option, but that it was not my place to determine what others could do. My morality does not trump that of others and I find religious devotion in the idea that I am never going to know what God’s Will /actually/ is and even if I did, people have to be allowed to follow their own life path, to make their own choices even if that brings them closer or further to whatever divine morality there might be in the abstract. A girl a few doors down from my room in residence had a pregnancy scare after a drunken night (which opened up the whole discussion of how even if she felt she had consented legally she had been assaulted.) I had a campus health appointment for a chest infection that day and I remember looking at the sexual health and family planning brochures and contemplating picking them up for her, of offering to go to appointments with her, to be there while she figured this out. Her period came the next day.

Back in my catholic school days I could never picture myself having sex before marriage. The older I got and more I learned and thought about it I decided I would never have sex unless I loved the man. When I was 20 I had my First Love. He shared by beliefs in most regards and at least respected the rest. As a result we waited months, waiting until we had said ‘I love you.’ So I lost my virginity, and the next morning, my second time having p-in-the-v sex EVER, while still swirling in all the emotions that come with a first time and a first REAL boyfriend, the condom broke. I was on the pill so realistically it was not the end of the world. I had been on it since I was 16. Ironically, the white guy politicians may be interested to know, I was on it not for contraception but to actually protect my fertility; endometriosis runs very strongly in my family and I got the tell tale cramps before I went on it. By going on the pill I am attempting to ensure that one day when I am in that “traditional marriage” they value so highly I will actually be capable of concieving a child. But back to my moment of sheer panic. I was being punished by some universal force; the first time I ever had sex, though it was in a committed relationship with a partner who had the prospects to support a family should it come to that, I was no where near ready for a child.

I googled if you could take the morning after pill along with daily oral contraption, because I REALLY didn’t want to end up pregnant and face the choices associated with that. I found out you could and after asking if I was ok for the millionth time my boyfriend ran out to the pharmacy to get one. I lay there thinking about so many things. I had been so careful, I had thought this through; having sex was not a momentary decision. We had used two forms of prophalactic contraception. But it still might not be enough. “But abstinance!” But I loved him and I wanted to share that depth of relationship with him. That being said, my mum had always said “you don’t even have to love the man, but you need to think: would this be someone I would want to co-parent w if it came down to that?” And I wouldn’t; I loved him but we were 20 years old; he was immature, could barely keep himself alive much less a baby; and while I loved him I fully admit I could not picutre myself spending my life with him, not deep down.

Then my thoughts moved to myself. In theory, I think I would make a good mom, when I’m ready. But I was not. I am on anti-anxiety and anti-depression medication; would I have to stop it if I did get pregnant? Would I be able to survive the resurging depression and anxiety while pregnant if I did have to off of it? Should I go off it /right then/ in case I was and the meds affected a fetus in the first two weeks? Even if I was to choose to carry a unexpected pregnancy to term I would then put either the baby’s or my own life at risk. We all also know the adoption and foster care system has so many stories of abuse but also I would be in a finanical and social situation which would disadvantage it if I was to keep it- assuming its business student father, who was set to make a lot of money, wasn’t around, as a worst case scenario. He came back with the morning after pill, I went to work and endured the cramps and crying fits if caused.

When I finished my birth control pills for the month, on winter break, I waited the ~2-3 days it always takes for my period to start. I prayed to God to help me, to please let me not be pregnant. I went out for coffee with my high school friends and they told me not to worry; I had used 3 seperate forms of preventative measures; there was an infitesimal change, but I still worried. The stress made me ill- and that was while still taking my meds, who knows what it would have been like without them. Was I nausiated because I was anxious or pregnant? I had called my mom crying a few days after it happened, told her I had done /things/ with my boyfriend and wasn’t sure what I was feeling then. I was so upset she feared I had been sexually assaulted. I thought a lot about if I could go through with having a termination if I was pregnant. I still don’t know if I could have or would have. There were moments when I was determined to have one, moments were I was determined to carry it.

Of course a fetus never existed. I got my period on Christmas Eve, and thanked the God I believe in. The whole experience took way more out of me then the event people joke about very casually when they say someone had a “pregnancy scare.” I am sure there are at least a /few/ scenarios I didn’t think of. I am sure it would have been so much worse if I had gotten pregnant. There are so many factors which play into whether a woman might or might not choose an abortion. There would have been so many people effected by the decision but ultimately, it was my life which would have changed the most. It could have RUINED me for life, thrown the whole thing off course. Carrying a fetus in that time and place with my health concerns could have ruined it’s chance at life too. There would be no positive. It would have been a decision I would have had to make and to live with for the rest of my life, but ultimately it was my choice. It was a choice which could not have been taken away from me regardless of a law. It would be a choice I would have to weigh with my health and my own moral beliefs. Even if it was against the law I could have had one illegally. I want to bring children into this world one day, it is one of my greatest dreams, but I will do it only when I am in the best possible situation to give those children all the opportunities I can.

The choices are difficult to make. They are not inherently wrong or right, no matter what self-righteous idea you have which contradicts that. I don’t know of a religious text in any major reigion which specifically refers to the morality of ending a pregnancy, or even the life of an unborn child if you choose to frame it that way. They each have their own emotional and physical consequences, something every women, and particularly women who have experienced the choice or shadow of the choice themselves, is accutely aware of. The decision is rarely if ever made lightly. A woman’s own mind and moral compass is strong enough to check and balance for themselves without interferance. If you cannot respect her inner struggle and ability to know herself and her own mind your problem is not with “killing babies” it is with your understanding of the equality and equity between humans. If you can empathize with other humans how can not you with women who have had or would have abortions? Who would agonize over their own lives and the lives of those around them- and the opinions of those around them? With the narrative I presented above- having done everything right only to have somethig go very very wrog? With another soul who is making the hardest decision of their life, do quote my dad.

Proof of insurance question?

The transmission went out of my car. A friend who does auto repair told me it would cost approx $1200 to fix. So I decided to scrap the car & get another. I cancelled insurance on old one & bought another 1 1/2 months later. The car was not driveable. Now I have to prove why I didn't have ins on the car and still had plates registered to it. I called & wrote a letter to the state and they said to send an estimate from an ASE cert. mechanic or tow bill or pictures. I don't have a tow bill. I didn't get out of the driveway. I don't need an ASE mechanic to tell me what is wrong w/the car and picutres of a transmission are stupid. I have received a written est from the guy and have statements from neighbors saying the car was not running. What more can I do?????? I don't want my license suspended.

Negotiating a car insurance claim?

Long story short, consensus feel that my car (hit by an uninsured Crown Victoria) is going to be considered a total loss tomorrow when the adjuster checks it out. My main concern is, if I feel I am offered an unfair amount for my car, what would be a good way to negotiate with them? And what do they use to base their offer on? I've already checked Autotrader and other sites for a replacement for my car, and this model is very sparse (5 total within 500 miles, only searching by year and model/trim), only being sold by dealerships that want a LOT more than I paid for the car a year ago. Can I cite those examples, or do I have to use something like KBB or NADA appraisals? I've never had to make a claim with an insurance company before, and the only thing I know is the reputation of insurance companies.""

Primary and Secondary Health Insurance?

I would like to know what health insurance company is my primary. I had health insurance through my previous employer. I worked until the 6th of the month and I was told I had coverage through them until the end of the moth. My new job health insurance went into effect on the 1st of that month so for one month I had 2 coverages. One health insurance company is saying the job I was at first would be primary until the coverage ended. The other insurance company (the one I had the longest) says they would be primary up until my last day at my first job. Then even though I had two coverages my active employers health insurance would be primary. I will find out from my health insurance company tomorrow what is primary but since there office is now closed does anyon know the answer to this.

My insurance quotes make no sense...?

Why the change? And THEN (this is where it gets weird...) I checked my 97 Corolla (my DD/beater) and I did only that car on the quote, they wanted $240/mo. I'm really confused right now.

Getting new car insurance quotes and don't know if it is my claim or not.?

I was in an accident about 4 years ago. I rear-ended someone and wrote the van off, however my parents didn't use insurance to get a new car and the SUV I hit had no damage. I did report it and their insurance is aware of it. I also was not charged with anything although the police did show up because it was on a busy street. It was a 4 car pile up I happened to be at the back of. My question is that the accident was under my parents insurance and I am now looking for car insurance quotes and am unsure if this claim is considered mine or my parents. Any help would be appreciated""

""Already expensive and soaring prices for the US health care, what can be done?""

Many folks just like you living either in Europe or Canada are paying much less in health care than us Americans. It was just a week ago I went to shop for dentist. In four different dentists each dentist give me a different quote, different prices when ALL of the services where the same. Something is wrong in this picture. I came to ask myself are doctors putting their own price tags on their services since they are NOT regulated. This is NOT about Democrat or Republican or any politics, it is a community asset that needs to be provided for the community in affordable prices like anybody else living outside the US. The notion that it is expensive in the US because of better services and top quality medicine is simply a hoax, because ALL MEDICATIONS contain the same ingredients, but different brand names. This is where government NEEDS to step in, and make sure nobody open up a business and put up their own price tags. Pharmacuetical companies may have spent MILLIONS to research and produce medicine but that should NOT all PAID by the consumers. Why should a patient pay for a money that is somehow added to your medical bills and medicine price because of pharmaceuticals research?. When it comes to college tuition and health care, everyone should put politics a side and draw a line between Capitalism and community assets. We elect our officials to provide us, secure us, and work for us, and when folks who only see making profit are more influential and more powerful than our elected officials than something must be done in here. Drugs made by US manufactures are sold to other countries for less than Americans can buy them. If nothing is done in here, I WILL DO SOMETHING, good or bad. Just to get results different than what we have today. Join me.""

Cheaper car insurance?

I'm an 18 (almost 19) year old male living in Ontario, Canada, and I'm on my parent's insurance policy. I'm looking into buying my first car. It's not just some old beater, it's a car that I would definitely enjoy driving. It's a 1999 Chevy Cavalier with a bunch of modifications to it. I'm worried about what I will be paying monthly in insurance. The guy I'd be buying it from told me as long as your insurance company doesn't ask for pictures of the car, in order to keep my premium low I should just lie about what's in/on the car. He said tell them you bought it for the black book price without any mods ($1200 - $2100), and state the only addition being a body kit. MY QUESTION IS: Could I get in any trouble if they ever found out about all of the modifications to the car that I didn't list? What would happen?""

Why is it assumed auto/motorcycle insurance is optional?

Why do so many drivers who live where having auto insurance is law(pretty much all of the U.S.) have this arrogant belief that just because they can't afford the insurance or can't pay out of their pocket that they still have the right to drive on the road? Worst thing is why are these people hardly punished for breaking the law and why must the other driver's insurance cover uninsured drivers. This whole insurance process is the most screwed up thing and proof of human idiocy. You ever see that commcerial for SafeAuto insurance? The dumb girl goes, I been in lots of accidents, but I NEED my car. or the guy who says' I don't have money for insurance, but I need to make tough choices. Like they are telling us they are going to drive their car without insurance. This is how we allow this type of stupidity.""

How can I report my neighbors for not having car insurance?

How can I report my neighbors for not having car insurance? My neighbors were both laid off from their jobs about three months ago. Earlier last week one confided in me that they were unable to pay for their car insurance and that they didn't know what they were going to do. I didn't take action then, because they were not working and rarely took their car out. However, the husband recently found employment and he has been driving the car EVERY DAY for the past week. They are nice people and we get along great, so it pains me that I have to do this. Who can I report this to? Should I just call the police station? Is there a way for me to verify that they were unable to pay for their car insurance (they were way behind in bills, so I doubt they covered it)""

Will my home owner insurance go up if I make a claim? How much?

I live in Massachusetts. Let's say a homeowner has a flood, and claims a $3000 loss, minus a $500 deductible. Will they be punished severely with increased rates? What will it cost them? Will it make a difference if the damage was someone else's fault (e.g. in a condo where a first floor unit could be flooded by a broken water heater on the second floor, or by a fault in the building's plumbing which is owned by the association?) Will the insurance company send their lawyers after the party at fault, and in that case would they not raise the rates on the claimant? People tell horror stories, usually about car insurance, where the rates go up so much you pay the insurance company back for the whole claim. But I pay all of $220 per year for $30,000 in personal property coverage. If I claimed a loss of a few thousand dollars, how much could they really raise my $220 premium?""
