I can't seem to add ALT text to some of my older media posts. Is there a time-out on edits I noticed I forgot to add ALT text to a few posts and was trying to clean them up. Any ideas

requested.

I haven't sewn a zipper into anything handknit in ages.

I'd like to use a sewing machine, because when I did it by hand I simply hated the result, it never looked good or even and now with my "Black Beauty" I'm conviced she can do a much better job than I can.

But I want the zipper a bit covered and the front to have a more polished look.

Advice for unicorns: When in doubt, SPARKLE. You'll attract more tech investors that way!

And it starts with a:
F**k how youre living
Even if your lifes in order
All you know, weve told ya
What good is life, if you cant
Or couldnt live past its confines
Shouldnt you try to escape the cell
Wouldnt that be a real source of free
Dumb.

I need advice from friendly, but faceless, strangers. Something has become clear to me this holiday visit. Since Mom died, Dad has dealt with it so poorly that I have, in almost every way, lost both parents. He will barely speak to me.

His process, if you can call it that, has been so self-centered that no one else has been given space to grieve, and Im actually really angry about his behavior. And I dont want to hear about how everyone grieves differently, because taking your grief out on other people is NOT an appropriate process.

But what would you do Itd be great if we could talk it out, but were northern Minnesota stoics, and thats not a great option for either of us.

Any ideas out there Advice

EDIT: Big thanks to all for the thoughts and advice. I still dont know whats going to happen, but I appreciate all of the input. If nothing else, I thank you for listening to my outpouring of baggage. Thanks, all.
