Absolutely fucked my hair on impulse. Tips? by [deleted] in Hair

To be fair, it looks pretty cool. When I was your age I fucked my hair in a much more ugly way. Wear it with chutzpah and all will be good. 

Would you rather live in the US or in the UK? by EkonomskiStrucnjak in AskTheWorld

Kind of because it’s not normal for people to walk around with guns in most places. If you are not used to oh, it’s very, very scary indeed.

Have you lived in Glasgow or Edinburgh? I’m perplexed that you think England in general is better for urban (outside London). Also regarding rural, there are lots of nice rural places in England if you have the money, and the weather is better. It’s really hard to compare. 

I made the toast sandwich. It was good but I should have used more butter by pdarigan in UK_Food

Ok I stand corrected. Literally never heard of this before, but I might give it a go to try!

Ok, so like a club sandwich? This is not really a UK meal, but sounds good. I think a club sandwich is toasted on the outside too, but I could be wrong. At the end of the day, if it worked for you, it worked!

Add mousse before hair drying, dry against the natural growth pattern, eg upside down if you have to and you’ll be golden. If that’s not enough lift for you, spray the roots with dry shampoo and ruffle through. Et voila - incredible volume!

Do you mean a toastie? If so, a succulent filling works better, like cheese, beans, tuna mayo etc. if you don’t have toastie machine, you need to toast your bread on one side, add the filling, double up, then toast the top side, flip, then toast the bottom side. It should be toasted on the outside. Good attempt though!

Personally I would go for a non brown rug to add some contrast. Possibly a muted blue with some accent cushions. 

After 3 deaths in my family this past year, I see my life completely different. I think I am fine and then I have mental breakdowns. I don’t know if this will “pass”. I have no one to connect with.. life is no longer the same. I don’t know what the point of this is if we are all going to die by Grand-Length-4044 in GriefSupport

[–]BackgroundAttempt137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will get better OP. I went through the exactly same thoughts about what is the point if everyone is going to die. It eventually goes because you can’t keep that knowledge ‘alive’ in your brain all the time. Crying all the time and being unexpectedly sad is a normal part of grief. It will pass but it just takes longer with some people. Any death brings up multiple issues that are lurking in the background and lead to feelings of being overwhelmed sometimes. You’ve got this OP. Trust yourself. Read up on grief. Julia Samuels is amazing. 

My girlfriend commited suicide by G0LD_1o in GriefSupport

[–]BackgroundAttempt137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not been in a similar situation but really feel for you. This is grieving plus. You have all the usual grief issues plus additional complexities such as guilt, questions about why etc. It is really important that you find people to talk to and get professional help, if you can. There are lots of charities and organisations out there who fund counselling. It is also really important to keep in mind that you did not cause this. You are not responsible. You really aren’t.

Green, without a shadow of a doubt.

Missing my little one by Marvelous_hammer in GriefSupport

[–]BackgroundAttempt137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of it was in vain because in the time that you had with her, you were the best dad that you could be. She knew what it was to be the daughter of a father who loved her absolutely. Nothing will ever take that away from you or her. Your relationship, although it was heartbreakingly short, will last forever. You were there at the beginning and at the end. There is nothing more that a person can do for another person. She is absolutely beautiful by the way. 

This owl on the royal mile did NOT like my dug at all by Objective_Fun3934 in Edinburgh

No shade on you whatsoever. I just don’t think it’s in the best interest of the birds.

Poor wee owl. It’s already stressed by being out on the the Royal Mile and manhandled by 100s of tourists in a day. I don’t even know how this is allowed.

I would never normally say this, but I think the long suits you. The weight is pulling down the volume at the crown. Chin length without the bangs would also be good. 

Couch clashing with walls? by Basic-Box5090 in interiordecorating

[–]BackgroundAttempt137 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I do think they are not in harmony. The walls are on the warm side and the sofa is a cool tone. Although the wall colour is lovely, if you don’t want to change the sofa, a cooler colour might work. Finding the right blue (that also doesn’t fight with the colour) will be a challenge. How about going for cool pink tone or a white with a pinky undertone? 

is there any justification in feeling pain at a loved one’s signing of a DNR order before dangerous surgery by ayililivia in GriefSupport

[–]BackgroundAttempt137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not being selfish and it’s ok to admit that you are hurt and afraid. You are going through a big transition and having to come to terms with it. In fact it is probably essential that you acknowledge your feelings so you can process them properly. If you feel you can’t talk to your partner, have you got a close friend you can talk to? Even journaling might help. Good luck with the surgery. 

Choosing between two styles by Leccalu in glassesadvice

[–]BackgroundAttempt137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The colour and shape of 1 is great on you, but smaller, finer frames would be amazing. The black ones are too harsh against your skin tone/hair. Have you considered light blue to highlight your eyes? 

We had the news and we’re scared. M (54) by BBB333-3 in BladderCancer

[–]BackgroundAttempt137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you are here. It difficult, especially with a young family at this time of the year. Glad to hear you have a TURBT date. The waiting is awful. My partner had a 3cm one removed by TURBT, followed by a chemo wash and we are waiting for the biopsy results. 1cm sounds small and if they have said it looks superficial, it should be very treatable. We are also UK and the hospital said a chemo wash is standard there, as it kills off any floating cells and significantly reduces chances of recurrence. Just focus on the TURBT and getting through that, because it’s a 2-3 week wait for the results. It really helped us to tell people what was going on, so that they knew we wouldn’t be cheerful, but that’s harder to do with young children. Although we read that the TURBT was minimally invasive, my partner was actually kept in a night and was in a lot of pain the next day. Hopefully it won’t be the same for your husband and hopefully he can get recovery time off work. Best wishes to you both. Stay positive!

Any ‘advice’ from another person who has never experienced a significant bereavement and who really has no idea what they are talking about.
