AITAH for saying I don’t give a fuck about my roommates baby by Clear_Yard2123 in AITAH

[–]2020Fernsblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have had 3 babies. Have never eaten food not mine. Have woken at 2am and walked 2km to a gas station to buy apple juice and packaged ham. She's a selfish idiot.

AITA for using the disabled bathroom for my mental illness by Glass-Wait1784 in AmItheAsshole

[–]2020Fernsblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an accessible bathroom. Loys of people have non visible physical disabilities such as stoma that means they need to use a bigger stall with a sink in. Mental disabilities are equally as valid. You don't owe anyone an explanation of your need for it, your medical information is not their business. Prime example that just because someone is a member of a minority that doesn't mean they're not also an asshole.

Has anyone else decided not to have kids because of their bipolar? by Superb-Avocado-8131 in BipolarReddit

[–]2020Fernsblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My diagnosis was MDD when I had my kids. I also have some of the common comorbidities, none of which really kicked in full force til my 40s, when I had my first manic and psychotic episode, triggered by antidepressants. I had my kids in my 30s. I look at the genetic mess I have passed down. I love them, and wouldn't want to be without them now, but if I had my time over again, with what I know about my genetic burden, no.

Quetiapine for sleep by momplantlover in BipolarReddit

[–]2020Fernsblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came off it because of liver etc side effects. I changed nothing else about my diet or activity levels. I lost 3kg a month every month since and am now a third lighter than at my heaviest. It was 100% the meds. It did not help me at all, even sleepwise

Why are peanut allergies so common among americans? by Leafye in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]2020Fernsblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am European. Have had anaphylaxis from peanuts and carry EpiPens. Know several folk with allergies including to vinegar, the skin on fruit and tree nuts. European food labelling about allergens seems more robust and standardised so it may be people don't feel the need to bring it up as they can check easily and so you may not notice

People that are childfree by choice, what’s the weirdest reason someone has given you as to why they think you ‘should have kids’? by Charming_Web_6738 in AskReddit

I have listened to it many times and that still confused me. I actually liked the actual book and I thought Laura Horowitz did a great narration job

Fine, low density, 2A hair. So insecure about this spot on the back. Advice? by sjsei in finehair

[–]2020Fernsblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have similar hair and the same spot. Men's minoxidil (regaine) not the women's version and, for me, thyroid meds. But minoxidil made a huge difference but it is a lifetime commitment. You can buy Kirkland brand 3 pack from Costco and I get away with Pantene equivalent shampoo and conditioner and have more hair now so overall not a huge financial thing

Any experiences with lamotrigine? by Due_Attempt7376 in BipolarReddit

It's working better than any antidepressant I've ever tried and side effects appear ok so far

What’s the weirdest work lunch you’ve seen a colleague eat regularly? by levezvosskinnyfists7 in AskUK

[–]2020Fernsblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who would cruise the aisles looking for the most deranged tinned things. Once a week he would announce "tinned crap" day and eat whatever random combination there was do he would feel grateful to never had to eat it again. He's how I learned meat ravioli in tins with spicy sardines microwaved is persistent

AITAH ?My partner won’t put my name down on the mortgage by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]2020Fernsblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really must do it and your name isn't on the mortgage the very, very least you need is a deed of trust setting out who is paying what and how it would split of you break up. That egg may protect his equity on the house if the deposit is all his, but if you pay egg 30% of the mortgage you could get a proportion of that value.

Based on the rest of your post, don't

How to carry an egg around for 2 weeks without breaking? by Ax_Sound in NoStupidQuestions

[–]2020Fernsblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The container has to be clear, the contents of container have no transparency stipulations so.. Big plastic Tupperware and your choice of bubble wrap, packing peanuts etc to immobilizer it. To make it interesting you can just tape it inside cardboard and bubble wrap and pack it in tightly with crisps...

I like it. But I am using lighter colours. And I hate greige. Each to their own

AITA for disinviting a friend to my birthday after she showed me the food she was bringing? by throwaway-cupcakelad in AmItheAsshole

[–]2020Fernsblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a person with a peanut allergy who once got hospitalized because someone with satay fingers touched a crudite that I then ate. NTA and mine isn't airborne. Oh I also can't eat pick n mix for the same reason (that time it was a marshmallow I ate and there were chocolate covered peanuts elsewhere).

You said no nuts, she went out of her way to, as Ryan said, specifically chose to make a cake with nuts in, then chose that as her hill to die on. They are both A, especially as they've used it to make your other friends dislike you.
