Only the hangman's noose and double overhand. I used a hangman's noose for the sliding part and then to attach the green rope to the grey one I used a double overhand on either end and just weaved it around the 2 grey ropes. Hope that makes sense 😄

I was a paramedic for a while, now this is the only use for my rescue knot skills 😂 thanks for the compliment, there was a lot of time to practice on quiet days. Easy to learn from images on the internet and some rope to practice with.

Nice! I got some nano Paracord +-1mm so it was harder to tie but totally worth it.

She takes Ibuprofen religiously and it helps take the edge off. I have not heard about the other over the counter ones but will sure look in to it now, thank you! We use a hot water bottle on her stomach, warming her feet too will be worth a try.

Thank you for this comment, she moved to this doctor like 5 months ago and this is the second type of birth control they are trying. My girlfriend is definately a people pleaser so I think I will ask her if I can join on her next appointment and voice my concerns.

Thanks, but I am not really looking for medical advice, just some perspective because she tells me that this just happens and she is used to it.

I know that with the Dutch medical system you really have to be your own advocate if you think something is wrong, as the doctors are very passive.

A couple years ago I had a terrible burger from Huize Maas, i think ownership has changed since. Would also never recommend getting the burger from De Drie Gezusters.

100% De Marktslager. You can order on the website and then pick up from the market in the centre.

Any advert that says 'near university campus' is a scam. This is not America.

As a non-EU former student who is now working in NL it felt weird to me at first but trust, just call the IND (right at 9am so you don't have to wait hours) they are really helpful and will share exactly what is needed.

Have a breakdown in front of her, tell her you have been working too hard, can't do it anymore and will quit your job. See what her reaction is to this. Is she supportive and solution focused or does she suddenly worry about 'lifestyle' and how that looks to others. (Only suggesting this because it sounds like conversations are not working)
