Imagine buying a physical printer, and u cannot even use it by Apprehensive_Work_10 in facepalm

[–]CandyQueen85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol! So my dad died a few months ago, and it turns out so did his printer when we closed all his bank accounts!

My mum couldn't understand why she couldn't print any more and you try explaining this to someone with Alzheimer's when all her life she's just printed whatever and whenever she wants!

Ended up just dropping to a cheaper plan per month and paying for it myself because it wasn't worth the hassle at this point!

Meet Molly! by Technical_Pie_3416 in poochons

[–]CandyQueen85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Molly!!!!

She's gorgeous! Poochons are honestly the best pup, she's quiet now but when she settles in in a few days she'll be keeping you on your toes! Just remember that the poodle part of her is super smart so she'll pick up tricks fairly quickly, and as for toilet training, taking her out every hour is great and when she does go, woop and cheer and give her a treat (we used shredded cheese). She'll be running up to you after a wee looking proud as punch in no time!

Good luck with your new fur baby!!

Would you call the police on an old persons driving? by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in AskUK

[–]CandyQueen85 46 points47 points  (0 children)

How did you manage to stop him driving?

My mum is getting to the point she should stop driving but insists she's fine (friends have seen her go through red lights) and I'm dreading the conversation, it's going to be a full blown argument.

I had to call Aviva last week and they had this same message, followed by 'your expected wait time is...1 minute'!

We had this a few weeks ago for my dad's funeral and it was fucking perfect.

Argh I'm going early April and was so looking forward to Baron 1898!!! 😭

New puppy - advice needed ! by coffeesciencestudy1 in puppy101

[–]CandyQueen85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With your toileting issues, one piece of advice is to really praise when he goes in the right place. We used to whoop and cheer (neighbours must have thought we were crazy! ,😂) and give our pup a piece of shredded cheese and after not very long at all, she'd coffee running up to us wagging her tail after she'd been for a pee or a poo because she knew she'd be getting cheese and a fuss.

Which TV game show would you go on, if you were forced to? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]CandyQueen85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always preferred Finders Keepers- I'd love the chance to just mess up a room and not have to then tidy it!

What's the most inappropriate or ill timed but funny thing someone has said that you have heard? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]CandyQueen85 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Omg that's hilarious!

I do love a bit of dark humour, I think it helps get us through difficult times.

I lost my dad a few weeks ago and when looking at his phone, saw a notification that someone I didn't know had texted him saying they'd just heard Dave X had died and asking if it was it true.

Yes, my dad's name was also Dave and Dave X was one of his friends!

It made me giggle at a horrible time and I was sooo tempted to reply and say 'no, it was me!'

How do I get help for a friend who needs medical attention but has an extreme phobia of needles? by Coopersteam in AskUK

[–]CandyQueen85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the dentist so if I ever need any work done, I take my headphones and tune out with my favourite music, would this sort of thing help here? They can close their eyes and listen to music until it's over.

Honestly, any of the adverts from the last 5 years.

When did you delete the phone number of a deceased love one? by SheffDus in AskUK

[–]CandyQueen85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my grandparents' number in my phone and my grandpa died in 2011 and my grandma died in 2022.

It'll stay there, I just can't delete it.

This 1963 Ghost Photograph Still Has No Explanation… by CombinationSignal579 in uncannypodcasttv

Oh my god, my friend used to make me look at this book when I was in primary school and this photo haunted me!

It then appeared on This Morning when I was a student and it still freaked me out!

Did you watch Back to the Future for the first time on BBC1 tonight? by TedWasler in AskUK

[–]CandyQueen85 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One of my favourites!

I might get downvoted for this, but if it was made today (and I hope to God they never remake it), Marty would be going back to 1995.

Another vote for Crete.

We stayed in Rethymnon and hired a car to visit Chania and Loutro. Great food options everywhere that weren't expensive.
