What’s happening at the Shell on the corner of 31 and South Airport? I hope they’re just revamping and it will soon be Shell back open.
Meanwhile, where are the other Shell stations with car washes in TC?
I've read that Gütermann and Coats and Clark are the threads to use, but what about other brands such as Connecting Threads' Essential or Aurifil? If you've used either of them, what was your experience with them?
I used Gütermann for my first quilt, and it worked great (though it's fuzzy!); I'm just wondering about alternatives for future quilts, particularly 100% cotton.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a local sewing instructor who works 1:1 helping individuals learn to sew?
I’m teaching myself, but I learn best when someone actually shows me and then provides feedback as I attempt what I’ve seen on YouTube.
I had an Etsy seller block me after I asked a simple question about a quilt pattern she has for sale. Is it an unwritten rule among the quilting community that we’re not to ask questions about patterns for sale online?
This feels weird.
EDIT: A copy of my conversation with her is below in response to those who asked.
I've been working in Excel and writing vlookups since Excel was Symphony 123. Whenever vlookups don't work, I'm baffled for the longest time but can usually detect my error. Not this time.
The first picture shows the column I'm trying to pull from (column E). The second shows the column I'm trying to pull column E row 267 into (column O).
My formula in column N (which works) is the same as it is in column O (which doesn't work--the result should be 6) except I'm referencing column E instead of column D (5 columns over from A instead of 4). So the formula in column N is =VLOOKUP($K266,$A:$J,4,FALSE)*$M266 and the formula in column O is =VLOOKUP($K266,$A:$J,5,FALSE)*$M266.
What am I missing?? All the columns are formatted identically to one another. (Yes, I did notice in my screen shots that only one decimal place is showing in column E and two in column O. I corrected that and still no 6 as a result.)
I FINALLY reached the point where I’m serious about losing weight. Again. I need to lose about 40# to reduce not only my weight but my chronic pain as well.
I just discovered this sub, and will be stalking all your wonderful helpful tips. I just realized that the tracking app I’ve been using faithfully for over 1,000 days has done more of a disservice that I realized. I’ve returned to the spreadsheet that helped me lose 49# a couple decades ago.
I’ve been a vegetarian since 1985 and will continue to be; Just a 👋🏻 to sort of introduce myself and look for a little encouragement…🥹
I have chronic pain from myriad ailments (e.g., arthritis, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, a couple herniated discs, bursitis, fibromyalgia, etc., etc., etc.), though I pretend to the world that I don’t. I’d been a holdout for years when it came to taking meds unless the pain became unbearable, but it’s come to the point now (I’m 67) where I’m taking NSAIDS daily because of the pain level, and the dose has been inching up. 🥺
I’m concerned about my kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal health now.
I can ask my PCP (she’s been wonderful at working with me on various issues ‘til the results are as desired), but I’m wondering if anyone here has any suggestions for a medication (prescription or otherwise) for this type of pain that’s been effective and less impactful than daily OTC med use so I can do some research before speaking with her.
I know about and use exercise, PT, heat, ice packs, etc. to help. I’m specifically interested in ideas for alternate medications to what I’ve been taking.
Thank you for reading! 💕

It appears Dr. Jeffrey Goldman has retired. Who would you recommend at Digestive Health Associates?
I posted this in the section at the top of this sub, but no one responded, so I’m posting it here.
Can anyone help?
