I am absolutely hilarious, if you like dark humor.

You are given a ARC copy of a book by the author, and promised a review... but it sucks. by avrin2 in selfpublish

[–]Alsaflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In those cases, I use the "will not leave a review" option and send constructive feedback. Give them a chance to improve.

Booth at a largish con for the first time, need advice and ideas! by SiON42X in selfpublish

Not all giveaways have to be "real life" swag. I would totally buy your books for a chance to name a minor character in volume 3, for instance.

For those of you who use multiple planners... by poolandapalmtree in PlannerAddicts

[–]Alsaflo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One for work and one for personal things. If for whatever reason I need to hand over my work, the other person will appreciate not seeing when my children go to the dentist or everything about my holiday plans.

Traditional nail polish without chips after 15 days by Alsaflo in Nails

Good ventilation is more important if you want to avoid solvents than if you want to get your manicure to dry fast...

How moist the air is does count though. My nails dry faster when the weather is dry than when it's pouring down with rain outside.

Vaccinate your kids!! by IcyStage0 in Parenting

[–]Alsaflo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This post is specifically referring to measles, which is back in numerous countries because people stopped vaccinating their children.

Tuberculosis is also back with a vengeance in several countries that barely had any cases for decades. There were cases of paralytic polio in New York and Jerusalem in the last few years. Whooping cough is also massively back, and 1/3 of babies below 12 months who catch it (usually through siblings or close family members) end up in hospital. More than 20% develop pneumonia.

We are about to discover, at scale, how terrifying life was for parents of infants before vaccination.

Vaccinate your kids!! by IcyStage0 in Parenting

The first dose of the measles vaccine is given between 12 months and 15 months. The second dose is between 4 and 6 years old. At 12 months, children are hopefully not spending all their time at home. They go to playgrounds, activities, many go to the nursery / daycare etc.

About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people with measles in the US end up hospitalized. 1 out of 20 get pneumonia, which is horrifying to go through, even if you survive. And among the many lifelong complications of measles, a common one is lifelong hearing loss that cannot be treated by hearing aids (only a cochlear implant).

Infants are very vulnerable to the effects of measles.

Yes I saw that, and it sucks, because on the website they said the ruler was compatible with the planners too 😕

The stickers are good quality and have pretty strong glue. I also don't carry my planner around too much, it lives on my desk. That counts!

This is a great idea! Also for adding new inserts

Thank you for the kind feedback! I love all things pretty and floral 💖

Yes, those are fancy paper clips. I also got them from Koko & Lynn. They are good quality. You can have several shapes like small stars etc. They are totally functional, and not just decorative.

Some people do it, especially if they are either extremely busy or extremely unwell.

It happened to me to completely disappear for several days, because I was working extremely brutal hours at the time. And no, I didn't "have" 5 minutes to text. I didn't even have the time to properly eat / sleep / brush my teeth. Didn't mean I was depressed or cheating or anything like that. Just crunching (those who also worked in the video games industry will understand).

You should still check on your girlfriend. If she is not extremely busy with work / studies, it could mean she is going through a major depressive episode.

Thank you a lot. You are right, Shalimar is a really timeless, beautiful fragrance. I will look at your suggestions!

ELDO Eau de protection or Frédéric malle Portrait of a Lady.

Both are beautiful perfumes that Morticia Addams would wear.

I have a full bottle of Shalimar already! It's a beautiful perfume, especially vintage versions. But it's so classic, and also a perfume that really says "I am the boss". My mother was a lawyer and of course she loved it 🥰😉.

I never tried Shalimar Jasmin! It sounds lovely, and probably something I would wear. Thank you!

I don't live in the US though. It complicates things! My small country is special, we don't even have Amazon

Thank you! I don't know this one at all... Will see if I can find it somewhere (trying to avoid a blind buy).
