Almost 3 Mega replies, Maybe I can figure out how to be your number 3 million, as that seems doable more so than catching up to you. Wonderful!

I just realised: You're only one Instructable away from breaking the great one hundred! I can't wait to see what it is, do you have anything big in mind? Or another one of your incredibly well documented Instructables?

I would love to see a Slenderman plushy, I think he's an icon that has sadly disappeared.

Is the new profile pic so that it looks like you're looking at the instructables logo on your card?

here are some pictures of my Max outfit. many thanks to you for the pattern for the hat!! it was the most important part and it turned out great! the third picture should be the best view of the hat (because i don't have the crown on). once again, thank you!! it was great! :)

Hey! I love your Ibles'! I just recently realized how much fun sewing can be, and your Instructable on sewing helped me out a bunch!
Just wanted to say thanks! And keep up the awesome work!

For some reason, you look like one of the girls who goes to my school in your picture, even though you are 10 years older than her.
Oct 28, 2009. 6:39 PMasian_buffet says:
this week a friend of mine posted a link to my facebook wall for instructions on how to make a Where The Wild Things Are hat. i then became a member to instructables  so that i would be able to download your pattern/directions for the WTWTA hat and am i glad i did! i am just finishing up my entire Max fleece jumpsuit which only needed a hat! i wouldn't usually say 'hey!' but then i was looking up 'halloween recipes' for a dinner party saturday and a random link took me right to your wall. twice in one week! then i find out you live in Louisville too? this really is the smallest big city. what are you going to be for halloween? i'll post a picture of my outfit when it's complete and give you some more props. you really are a master of many trades... keep up the good work! :)

You just plain rock. Rock on Jess, rock on.

Hey jessieratfink, I know you like sewing and because I'm just starting I'd like to tell you, I just finished a kite! I got some 8mm dowel, lashed it together into a kite shape and worked from there with some parachute material. Got it done today but there was no wind so I couldn't tell you how it flies.
Oct 18, 2009. 3:18 AMKryptonite says:
Pics related.
Oct 20, 2009. 1:22 AMKryptonite says:
Wow, thanks!

Going through your instructables I've seen that you hand sew, so I thought I'd better mention that this is all done by machine. Still absolutely no wind over the last few days so it's sitting on my top shelf.

 were do u get the whiskkerrss
Oct 18, 2009. 11:47 PMKryptonite says:
Whiskers?

Seems you're on the wrong thread. I think jessieratfink used wire.
Oct 7, 2009. 2:06 PMhillikitty says:
i signed up to this sight just so i could tell you i have made your hat && thank you. i love it. also in case you were curious i uploaded pictures of it. let me know if you like it. i did it a bit differently than yours, but i think it turned out okay. im hillory btw.
Oct 11, 2009. 9:02 AMhillikitty says:
Thanks. i try not to wear it too much. i wear it around the house sometimes. I cant wait for the movie! and yeah the ears are HUUUGE but i like to think of them as dumbo ears. it makes me feel better for messing up. thats the first thing my friends noticed were the ears. _<br />

Hellooooo. I haven't gotten around to doing the tatties ible yet. But I just published a different cooking tip you might like to see if you have Oxo stock cubes in the USA?

It's here either way.
Jun 19, 2009. 6:55 PMWeissensteinburg says:
I really could have used your help today.
Jun 19, 2009. 7:35 PMWeissensteinburg says:
Well I'm going to camp tomorrow for 5 days, and we're living in dorms that have a semi-full kitchen. So I decided that this year i'd take advantage of it. I'm bringing one pan, and needed ideas for meals i could make easily with that on a stove. I stood there thinking, if only I had Jessy's number... I ended up buying a pound of bacon, tortillas, fancy cheese (four in one!), and canned chicken. The latter three for quesadilla. I'm also bringing some pam and baking soda (for easy cleaning)
Jun 19, 2009. 8:07 PMWeissensteinburg says:
Well we do have a fridge and stuff...but its a bit too late now.

yea i just never saw a girl on this site befor
Dec 21, 2008. 9:21 PMmg0930mg says:
Really 6 months, and you've never seen a girl on the website... I think you met one, and didn't even realize. We have lots of girls on ionstructables, and they (in my opinion) are the mot creative without destroying or blowing up electronics. Not saying they don't. They just do crafts with thread, and sewing, however some men do such as caitlinsdad. Wow, that was long. haha. Great job on all i'bles jessy.
Dec 29, 2008. 5:03 PMREDNEK777 says:
yea i gess i just did.nt look up girly things

As I just mentioned girls do 'manly' things.

ignoring is very fun. I do it everyday at school.(They don't seem to notice. I have to tell them that I'm ignoring them)

that kind of defeats the purpose of ignoring.

Let us form a coalition! The group to flame annoying piggish males. Who's with me?
May 31, 2009. 9:52 PMsuper moderator says:
YES! I will! As a high school student I see many "guys" treat females as their *trying to find the right word* "toys" (grabbing things that aren't meant to be grabbed, flirtatious comments etc.) I believe in a long lost art called CHIVALRY!
GOOGLE IT PEOPLE!

Certainly not! The group is only to flame those males who are piggish-and you, sir, have been nothing but chivalrous. :-)

Care to join us?

I don't know where the conversation on this topic is going, but it's started triggering the filters on my school network because of "too many weighted phrases".

Hey, anytime. There are very few secrets to teaching - self confidence, knowing your facts and an ability to BS on zero notice are the main ones.
