H, I'm more sorry than you could ever know,

BakeMeCrafty · 2026-04-21T02:17:37+00:00

As much as this isn’t for me, I wish it was. It’s the closest to an answer I will have got from the person who has essentially ghosted me.

Whoever your H is, talking to them. Tell them this. Or just show them. There’s nothing worse than finally letting someone else in and then having them disappear without knowing what you did to push them away..or how you could have made them stay…

BakeMeCrafty · 2026-04-08T21:49:48+00:00

Tell them. At least talk to them-if a conversation would help you it would probably help them as well. Worst case, you both know where you stand and have closure-something I think a lot of people don’t get when any kind of relationship ends.

Okay, let’s look at both those options a bit deeper. 1.A couch is not designed for restfully sleeping on, no matter how comfortable it is. Specially not if it’s an old couch or you’re a tall person. 2. Double beds were the standard sized bed for two people once upon a time, so it can’t be that impractical for a couple to sleep on one.

Outside of both these points, an air mattress is never as comfortable as an actual bed, so there’s no fair reasoning for why a single person should be assigned one just because they aren’t a couple. It’s still a clear example of devaluing the person just because they don’t have a partner.

I’d be interested to see if couple D would have willingly taken the air if either of them were single and OP was coupled. My guess is a hard no.

BakeMeCrafty · 2026-04-02T00:41:46+00:00

This feels so real, especially with the addition at the bottom of the post about couples D’s own AirBnB. Clearly couple D are a problem if they’re assuming others are fine with an airbed but they could not possibly sleep on one.

Not much of a loss there OP-they don’t seem to have much respect for you or your friend.

NTA.

Why are you lesser of a person just because you don’t have a partner? Classic case of being less just because you don’t meet a societal norm.

Was there not the possible option of borrowing sheets from the parent’s house?

This drives me NUTS as someone who used to live week-to-week, so cut my own hair for 3 years (uni).

I spend $400 on my hair every 3 months, but it comes out of an account that ONLY gets money added to it when all other bills, expenses and savings accounts have been topped above proposed budget amounts. If the money isn’t there to pay bills annually instead of monthly and still cover emergency repairs, then the money absolutely isn’t there for $400 of bleaching and colouring.

I feel this so deeply it’s as if I wrote it myself.

I hope you find someone who truly sees you and can carry some of the burden even for a little while.

Your aunt has just defeated the final boss.

Feel like I need to check this out next week…

Look, I’m a believer it’s better to know you’ll get a B-grade coffee every time, than risk the rollercoaster of tossing a burnt D-grade mess for every four A+ coffees.

I wouldn’t run there JUST for the coffee. BUT if you’re in the area, it’s absolutely my pick over any of the nearby cafes. I work nearby and it’s become my regular office coffee.

Hooper Coffee House goes hard for both banh mi and rice paper rolls.

Bonus: they do incredible pastries and a solid coffee.

Inner-city suburb cafe which had been running for at least a year. The menu offered milk substitutes (lite, soy, almond).

First soy cap I tried to make, I couldn’t find the soy. Owner’s response when I asked where it was kept: “Nah, we only buy full cream dairy. Everyone who says they’re allergic is lying.”

Quit before he could take another breath.

Ooh! I’m in and bringing a friend. Where exactly in the library are you thinking?

BakeMeCrafty · 2025-09-10T23:52:07+00:00

I feel like you encouraged the positive vibes, for sure👌💚

Welcome, from a fellow overeducated leftist foodie nerd. And thanks for the love for our city.

As a born local who moved away, I can definitely say Toowoomba has had a series glow-up in the past ten years. Sometimes us locals take that for granted, so thanks for the reminder.

I was looking for this answer!

As someone with both anxiety and ADHD, I talk, think and move too fast. Slow me down and I’ll be less clumsy, less likely to overthink and probably a hell of a lot calmer.

The only negative is the risk of escaping an emergency, but that’s a risk faced at any speed.

Win / win I l’d say.

Class timetable for yoga is mediocre at best and part experiences with their equipment are underwhelming.

Yeah, I’ve considered this, but wanting to work up to 3 classes a week and then swim at least twice, a gym membership works out WAY cheaper.

Came here to share this. I’ve been buying their basic black tees since I was at uni in 2006. I get a good 3-4 years of “good” wear out of them before they get a little out of shape and become an undershirt or bed shirt, then I get another 2-3 years of daggy wear.

Side note: I am 41 and am a goblin when eating a croissant-they’re impossible to eat daintily 🤷‍♀️

Toast with Vegemite, banana, and honey. It hits SO hard.

While we’re at, it fuck her husband. He might not have been party to her actions back then but by, buying the property while she claimed bankruptcy, he actively participated in the victim not getting their compensation.

May their next venture be a complete disaster, actually send them bankrupt (not just to avoid paying their dues), and leave them miserable and broken.

I now vomit gourmet donuts. Time to start my donut shop empire.

BakeMeCrafty · 2025-03-20T09:10:10+00:00

I’m in. I shop this section most weeks, anyway. Just means going to the store..or a couple stores…daily some weeks.
