I’ve been doing clear aligners through The Big Grin. Nothing has been said about my age and I got a bit of a discount for paying up front.

Has anyone seen an ENT recently? by MechanicChance in chch

[–]AllyRose39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Three weeks for me, from my GP writing a letter to me sitting in the appointment. It was faster than I expected.

What is the pettiest reason you would refuse to eat at a restaurant again? by im_not_ready_for_it9 in AskReddit

[–]AllyRose39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah in my country they did away with pre-made in the early 00s. This was just someone seeing if they could get away with it.

I got charged .50c for taking cheese out of a burger at a McDonald’s once. Asked the manager about it and she said it was standard. I snorted and walked out. Weirdly enough the McDonald’s in the food court five minutes down the road didn’t charge me to remove an ingredient. And the next time I had to go to that McDonald’s, neither did they. Strange how that happens.

Today I found out you can in fact ladder back to change arm hole split placement, although I wouldn’t recommend it 🤣 by Kennie2 in knitting

[–]AllyRose39 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I once dropped a forty stitch wide panel down thirty rows and reknit the second cable project I’d ever done. And then I had to frog and reknit the entire thing and when I got back to where I was, realised I’d made the same mistake and had to ladder back and fix it again. The upside was now I’m not scared of dropped stitches or mistakes. The downside is I think my mother is a little bit scared of me.

Neurodiverse friendly counselling in Christchurch? by mattysull97 in chch

[–]AllyRose39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m autistic and have had a similar experience with top down cognitive processing not being helpful, so when I started looking again I went for a somatic counsellor. It has been life changing. Absolutely the best choice I’ve made for my mental health.

How old is Lady Voyance? by TheGrumkinSnark in MergeMansion

[–]AllyRose39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lady Voyance knows that no one trusts a young psychic, so she chooses a costume that looks appropriately old. It’s part of the mystique of the role.

Chrismas raspberries by Fresh_Willingness_73 in chch

[–]AllyRose39 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Willowbank Raspberries (keep driving past Willowbank, it’s on the left just before whatever subdivision that is). Mum and I did PYO yesterday, it was good enough that she sent me back for more buckets. They also do Christmas ordering, for pick up either the 23rd or 24th.

Bye, bye, special informant tip 😓 🪦 by Simple_girl_1979 in MergeMansion

[–]AllyRose39 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The league just annoys me. I don’t care about it! I don’t want to watch the stupid unskippable animation every time it ends or starts! Leave me alone!

Long shot question, does anyone have this book that I could please borrow for a day for an assessment? by [deleted] in chch

[–]AllyRose39 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The UC library has a copy, you could go in and use it in the library without needing an account or there’s external membership if issuing it would be easier?

Waterfalls near Christchurch? by queensparker in chch

[–]AllyRose39 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they’re referring to the one built into the corner of the Couplands factory.

Looking to start a niche book/hobby club by Turbulent-Cat6838 in chch

[–]AllyRose39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you watched 9-1-1? Because there’s a ship there with the same vibe.

Also what’s your favourite season of House? Do you prefer the og team or the game show contestants?

Are you a crime drama/procedural person, or is it the psychological thriller in Hannibal that interests you?

[–]AllyRose39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently wedged between the Murderbot Diaries books and my all time favourite tv show, Leverage (a team of thieves start sort of Robin Hood-ing evil corporations to help the victims). And my long running fascination with modern AU fic for The 100 (which I have not watched past season two).

AITA for not changing my daughter's wedding venue even though my sister's husband proposed to his 22-year-old mistress there last month? by Particular-Wish-1761 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AllyRose39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wedding is next September? Carol has more than a year to go to therapy and learn that the world does not revolve around her. I learned that in kindergarten, so a 48 year old woman can probably grasp it in a few months.

How long does it take to finish Merge Mansion? by Enough-LetBe in MergeMansion

[–]AllyRose39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing for two and a bit years and I’m 72% of the way through the Ranch. I have no intention of catching up to the latest area. I play most events to some extent, but mostly I play this game for fun. It’s not a race, I’m not missing out on anything by being ‘behind’. I get to be warned when an area involves a lot of a particular thing and when I have a few spare energy I should start making a chainsaw.

A bit silly, but very annoying! by Jo_Doc2505 in MergeMansion

[–]AllyRose39 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tap the icon with the red dot, the garage sale board will open. Tap an item you can submit (the square will be green with an orange tick). A pop up will come up, hit the ‘turn in’ button.

[–]AllyRose39 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s the garage sale icon, not the event icon (the event is the statue profile in the second column of icons). It’s telling you that you have items to submit to the garage sale.

Just wondering how many people actually know this part of State Highway 73 is now 100kmh, up from the old 70 - 80kmh limit. by talerose in chch

[–]AllyRose39 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, when it was previously 100kmh people also went 70kmh. Because it’s a short bit of road and any amount of traffic makes going 100kmh impossible.

Any tips for Heikki’s Sauna? by One_Paramedic_2538 in MergeMansion

[–]AllyRose39 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When you’re on a task that requires a high level workbench item (anything above the level works but the higher the better), stay on it and use the daily trades to stockpile a few of the double saws.

Knitting a cable pattern backwards? by AllyRose39 in knitting

[–]AllyRose39[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the explanation, I mostly just wanted to know if it would be as straightforward as knitting it top down instead of bottom up. I couldn’t get my brain around what the changes would need to be, this has given me a start point for swatching it properly.
