While I'm waiting to get that ticked off the Chronic Illness grocery list, those of you who know you have hEDs, could you drop your hot tips in the notes?

I need to know what I don't know without the anxiety spiral of googling shit.

Questions I have:

I use a dry herb vape for weed and mint, should I just stop with thc all together because of the strain it puts on the heart? I'm a daily user to help manage symptoms so if I really should stop then please let me know and I'll work towards doing so...somehow.

I'm self employed as a textile worker, my job is making Fluff into Stuff. This means I spin yarn to make with or for sale; a lot of repetative movements in knitting/crochet and weaving. What is best practice to mitigate issues compounding (yes take breaks and don't overwork but beyond that into specific things to isolate the right muscles for strengthening etc)?

I have a bum knee/foot combo on my left side and a bad hip on the right (gotta be balanced 🙃) and they are my worst enemies as I can neither stand nor sit for too long. Please advise.

Hey did you know that in May 1958, ARF began covertly researching the potential consequences of a nuclear explosion on the Moon? The main objective of the program, running under the auspices of the United States Air Force which had initially proposed it, was to cause a nuclear explosion that would be visible from Earth. It was hoped that such a display would boost the morale of the American people.[4]

At the time of the project's conception, newspapers were reporting a rumor that the Soviet Union was planning to detonate a hydrogen bomb on the Moon. According to press reports in late 1957, an anonymous source had divulged to a United States Secret Service agent that the Soviets planned to commemorate the anniversary of the October Revolution by causing a nuclear explosion on the Moon to coincide with a lunar eclipse on 7 November. News reports of the rumored launch included mention of targeting the dark side of the terminator—Project A119 would also consider this boundary as the target for an explosion. It was also reported that a failure to hit the Moon would likely result in the missile returning to Earth.[5]

A similar idea had been put forward by Edward Teller, the "father of the H-bomb", who, in February 1957, proposed the detonation of nuclear devices both on and some distance from the lunar surface to analyze the effects of the explosion.[6]"

I've never made a lining for anything I've crocheted before and my hope is to prevent as much stretching over time as I can but idk what cloth/fabric would work best.

So I've been making a pair of practice gloves with commercially spun yarn in preparation for the gloves I want to make with my handspun.

I've been following this pattern (sorta)

I went rogue around the time it tells you to stop stockinette stitching and return to the rib stitch.

Decided I like the look of the stocknette for the remainder of the hand.

I'm currently where I am supposed to make the thumb hole but I would prefer half-fingered gloves and this, dear reader, is where I need help.

Does anyone have a resource that would help me modify this pattern to accomodate this change?

I've made gloves with crochet before but that was always working in the round and this is a flat knit project.

I assumed I would need some of these bad boys but have zero idea of how to utilize them
