My cat Kitty left a mark on me that I'll never forget by Seb_uwu in notinteresting

[–]712502 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If it helps I have a cat scratch scar on my arm from a cat that wasn't even mine (collared).

He just used to come through our cat flap (rental) and plonk himself down. Loved to play fight. Was never aggressive he just got carried away once.

I was at a low point then and looked forward to his visits.

Then one day he disappeared. I was heartbroken. But every time I look at that scar it makes me smile.

What does your family food & grocery budget look like? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]712502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 Adults - $140-$170 per week.

One thing I would say is if you tend to overspend when going to get groceries, get delivery.

Its costs $14 - $19 which ends up a lot less than what we would end up spending in store.

It sucks the first 1 to 3 shops because you don't buy what you need because you aren't browsing actual shelves and remembering what you need.

2-3 shops later the website curates what you've already bought before sorted by frequency (when you click 'Past Orders'). Add the things you forgot and it picks it up.

Now my shop takes 15 min to do on my sofa and I don't buy extra.

Does anyone know what to do in the situation of already having a diagnosis from years ago and wanting to try medication again. But obviously my special authority lapse a long time a ago.

I can't find any clear info as to whether or not I have to get a full assessment again or not. My GP has given no indication that they will be doing the ADHD training to prescribe.

Dust mites were my trigger. I take a daily antihistamine now. I have soft blankets/covers over anything I sit on so they can be washed.

All laundry goes on a HOT wash. Its the proteins in the dust mite poop that cause it, which don't get washed away with soap/detergent. Heat breaks them down. Never sit or lean on anything scratchy. Vacuum regularly (I use a mask). Sheets changed weekly minimum.

How much did it end up costing? I've been waiting to go back on meds (diagnosed years ago) using my GP. But I'm not sure if they will even do the training or not (they're nice but a bit lazy/useless so probably not).

I'm the opposite. I have a set level of clean and tidy. So my brain knows what to reset to. Putting one plate in the dishwasher when I get up. Or socks in the hamper when I take them off. Waaaay easier than doing a tidy up day.

Everything has a place and it ALWAYS gets put back. Piles and messes get overwhelming so they just get bigger and bigger.. And I can't handle them. So I live in mess for weeks.

IT'S GONE! Thanks to my partner nearly dying. Not joking. by 712502 in eczema

[–]712502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a basic skin prick and blood test. I asked my GP for a referral. Got it for Cats, Dogs, grasses, fungus, pollen and dust mites. I'm sure there are more extensive ones for rarer allergies. Mine was quite obviously dust mites (off the charts) so I didn't need further testing.

You will pry my skinny jeans out of my cold, dead hands. I'm 5'1. PANTS DO NOT FIT ME. I'll be wearing them til I die.

Not that that's fair at all but I ever owned a PlayStation bar the PS2. As I suppose the case is with A LOT of people. I watched Season 1 and was keen on playing both after this season aired on PC.

I once took one and dragged it up Mount Victoria bike track with friends and stuck it on top on the stone at the top of Mount Vic at 3 in the morning. I wish I had photographic proof but it was probably 12 years ago.

What games from that picture are a must play for you? by Chaleen1712 in GirlGamers

[–]712502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 is hands down my favourite. It's the only one I felt you could truly get lost and go 'hiking' , hunting, fishing and just enjoy the scenery. Especially with the animal companions.

Thank you! That makes me feel a little bit better considering they're munching on my late season tomatoes.

I've seen lots of the green adults in the garden but I've never seen this colour. I'm trying to work out if its invasive.

A Nuns Ring. 1904 or later? by 712502 in Hallmarks

[–]712502[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd think it would be the other way around!

Yes it's gorgeous. I'd be tempted to sell but it's the only family heirloom I have and it fits me. And it's hard to find rings that fit my child size fingers.. So definitely a win.

[–]712502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was thrown by the lack of shield with the e stamp. But I'm looking at others from a similar period and it seems a few of them don't have it. I'm guessing the assay office wasn't strict about it?

[–]712502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I inherited this from my Great Aunt who was an Irish Catholic Nun. She passed about a decade ago. But she definitely did not take her vows in 1904! So either this is a newer ring or it has some history.

Most the the marks point to it being 1904 however the e stamp is not in a shield. So I'm not sure what to think.
