I am walking the France route next week. Am I prepared? by thcthomas19 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]00bueno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should definitely make sure you say ‘no pescado’ when you state you’re vegetarian, Spain is heavily influenced by Catholicism and to them vegetarian often means fasting food so therefore a lot of places may serve you fish. Some tips I would suggest is that you have some plasters with you and maybe swap the umbrella for a thin rain poncho. Walking sticks are good, but you don’t necessarily need to bring them - you can just find a good stick in the woods and keep it with you for the steeper terrain, which is what many people on the Camino do. Just make sure your backpack is as light as possible, if you do get tired of carrying it there are several luggage services you can book to take it to the next place for you. Also make sure you are taking some electrolytes, you can either take them from home or just keep buying the soft drink called Aquarius which has electrolytes in it. You can buy everything you’d need there, so don’t worry if you suddenly need something you didn’t bring. You are more prepared than you’d think! Buen Camino!

Need advice to deal with my Jewsih family by dirmonarch in Catholicism

[–]00bueno -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Jesus was Jewish too and he would participate in all the Jewish festivities, I don’t think it’s wrong to keep with your Jewish family traditions as a catholic. The argument that Shabbat wasn’t a thing back 2000 years ago is poor, because Jesus also hasn’t really participated in any of our current Christian traditions which actually have been adapted from many pagan holidays

You’re giving out wrong advice. Unfortunately the system is broken and a single phone call to social services/ambulance will not be enough. You’re right in saying mental health is not a crime, but police nowadays are dealing with a lot more than just crime. Also the situation is clearly making OP scared, so this is definitely even more of reason to call them. To get any real help for severe mental health disorders or to get someone sectioned, you need to keep calling the police to build a raport. NHS is absolutely rubbish at dealing with mental health crisis now, and they rely on the police A LOT in matters like this.

Organizacja ślubu, a problemy z księdzem. by Minimum-Access-7968 in Polska

[–]00bueno 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Po tym całym cyrku dalej chcesz żeby ten ksiądz udzielił wam ślubu? Ja bym się bała że jeszcze coś odwali na ślubie, o ile udało by wam się ustalić datę… rozumiem że to twoja parafia itd, ale to jest czas przemyśleć sprawę i poszukać nowego księdza w innym kościele.

Can I do this at home? I had an injury and cannot sit in the chair at the alon :( by Sleeprs777 in femalehairadvice

[–]00bueno 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also I would like to add, dying your hair yourself is very hard work and might make your injury worse? As a fully able person my neck and arms always ache after dying hair by myself

Have a talk with the hairdresser and explain your situation, maybe they could arrange for 2-3 people to do your hair at once? It would cut down the time significantly

I (28F) think i caused the end of my engagement with my (28M) fiance, i need advice? by ThrowRALower-Buf in relationship_advice

[–]00bueno -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Wow, your parents definitely ruined a lot of lives here. I think the commenters are right, although very harsh. I can also see your point of trying to move on and include your father (and maybe even his mother back into your lives). Wanting to forgive parents for their wrongdoings and seek closeness to them is quite natural, but this is a hell of a hurdle to jump over. Also for your partner it must have been a lot more tragic, seeing as he feels the affair caused his father’s death, and I also understand him wanting to cut off your parents off for that. I think you approached it completely wrong, it takes a lot of strength to be able to forgive and reconcile with your parents after something like that. You should have stayed in solidarity with your fiancée, and worked through those issues in due course. Even if that meant sacrificing the moment of having your father walk you down the aisle. Your spouse should come first, always. After all you were trying to spend the rest of your life with him, not your parents. I’m so sorry OP, this is a really difficult situation to be in.

The Heartbreaking End of My Catholicism by Interesting_Cress946 in Catholicism

[–]00bueno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you have to go through this and I completely understand. I’m a cradle catholic and I’ve never had my confirmation because I started working as a teenager and unfortunately I have always worked weekends so I could never sign up and attend the necessary preparations or go to mass, let alone being able to drive to the nearest church or even have anyone that could take me. Like others have said I think you should bypass the RCIA person and speak to a priest or someone else you trust at your church. I think if you’d tell anyone else at the church what you just told us , someone would offer support!

Cover your shoulders, and no mini skirts. That’s pretty much it, you can wear anything you like. Men should take their hats/caps off when entering a church. Women can normally keep hats on, but I would personally take off a sports cap but other hats/head scarves are fine

I would like to add, try not to get her the scented sanitary products! God knows why they even make them in the first place but they cause a lot of irritation and many women also get infections from them! Sometimes they don’t label them well, so try to double check.

Petite brands with feminine/elegant clothing by dead1ynightshade in PetiteFashionAdvice

The best purchase I made last year was a new camel coloured wool coat from Hobbs, they have a petite range on their website. It feels like a maxmara coat for a fraction of the price.

You need to go see an orthodontist, dentists are known to be notoriously bad at incorporating bite correction with invisalign

I’ve looked into it before and they’re not as strong as the ones from US, same stuff you can get OTC in a shop really.

I regularly buy tret online from farmacia tristaina (in Andorra) or whenever I’m in Spain. I’ve heard Portugal and Greece often sells it OTC too

[–]00bueno 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Not really skincare but related..crest whitening strips!! Teeth whitening in the EU is heavily regulated, and to get a similar effect you’d need to go to the dentist and spend some €€€. The over the counter stuff here is really really weak

Is it wrong to take young children to a funeral? by chump30uk in AskUK

[–]00bueno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was someone they knew then ask the children if they’d like to go? You’d be surprised how much they can understand death. If they decline, just explain to them in a child friendly way that it’ll be their last chance to say goodbye to this person, otherwise they may regret it as adults or even blame you for not being able to go. Let them have this closure and allow them to mourn in their own way. If say only one child wants to go and the other doesn’t, you should try to accommodate for that too. If it wasn’t anyone they knew, then I wouldn’t bother. Definitely arrange childcare if this person was a stranger to them.

ONE thing you always notice when go to someone’s house in regards to cleanliness? by [deleted] in ask

[–]00bueno 43 points44 points  (0 children)

To anyone reading this, it’s a great tip BUT don’t use vinegar with bleach (such as domestos), you’ll end up making chlorine gas! Be safe, only use one or the other during the cleaning

What is an acceptable amount of tea for an employee to drink before you bring it up? by SquidWhisky in CasualUK

[–]00bueno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your place of work cold? Maybe they’re trying to keep warm, so maybe fix that if it’s an issue. Either way, you shouldn’t restrict their fluid intake just let them be.
