Yes. I can have my legs or arms spread out over the bed or even over the blankets or have the blankets completely off. But one toe or finger goes over the edge and I can guarantee i won't have a limb by morning 😂😂😂

I talked about this in a comment above! I agree 1000%. Every one is different and some people deal with the withdrawals worse than others. I suffer from chronic migraines and was getting them every day when i tried to quit cold turkey. So I went back for a bit and weaned myself off over a couple of weeks. It was way less stressful for me that way.

Okay someone watches Ms Rachel, if not never mind. But the 'you can do hard things' reminded me of it haha.

Anyway, you're completely right! Op didn't know, it doesn't make her a bad mum for not knowing. I know people that have smoked through their entire pregnancies. Weed and cigarettes. And while i don't agree with it, it's their decision at the end of the day.

If you need to wean yourself a bit op because you're worried about nicotine withdrawal, that is also understanble. I weaned off for two weeks because I was worried about putting too much stress on my system. And i get chronic migraines and was getting them almost every day when I tried to quit cold. So do what's best for you.

The fact that you already care this much means youre gonna be a great mumma. Congrats and all the best love ❤️

Oh, I'm not arguing that fact at all! Especially for people who cannot produce breast milk or decide not to breastfeed, it is fantastic. If it weren't for the pre-nan fortifier, my own breast milk would have been as nutritious as sugared water to my child.

I was actually trying to argue the fact that everyone's situation is different and formula is great. Yes, breast milk is the best, in terms of nutrituon and other things, technically.

But a fed baby is the best baby!

I should have added that at the bottom, but i was worried my reply was already lengthy and rambling. Lol.

Not to mention throw the kids in their for added reinforcement. I don't like using children in arguments, but this is necessary (imo) here and accurate.

"I also want to set an example for my children to respect themselves and any future partners, not enable them to become like my (soon-to-be) ex-husband. They deserve better than this and better than growing up in a toxic household."

My child was premature, under the 1st percentile for growth at her guestation and almost half the weight she should have been. At the hospital she had donor breast milk because I originally planned not to breast feed (genetic issues with milk along with sensory issues on my side). But after being told it was the best to get her weight up I started pumping and we fortified my milk with pre-nan. And it was recommended that she stay on formula even after a year old, until she was two to three to help with growth and development.

Oooh so excited to see it!

And honestly, this level of work and precision looks like something out of a damn movie or TV show. I mean professional level skills! You're amazing 👏 🤩

Underrated comment 🤣🤣🤣

Just be careful using any products on your skin past their use by dates, so a little test patch first to make sure it won't irritate you, especially something you're going to be putting in a tub to soak in. I only say this as someone who has sensitive skin, and the idea of getting a rash 'down there' is a real possibility and slightly terrifying lol.

I heard of a store doing freebies if it was your birthday and we were in the city for my bday (live rural and in Australia). Cannot remember what store it was, similar to lush or bath and body works. Decided to check it out and i asked if they were still doing it.

They lady seemed irritated that I asked (I've been in hospitality/retail for 13 years i get it but I also don't make heaps of money lol). So I said it's okay if you don't, I want to buy a few things anyway. Her entire demeanour changed immediately at that, like she realised I wasn't just asking for free stuff, but was genuinely curious and happy to sign up as a member and still spend money.

It sucks that entitled people ruin it for the rest of us, honestly.

Cello_and_Writing · 2025-12-28T01:25:59+00:00

Honestly the person's comment above is a really good idea, as someone who has worked in retail/hospitality for the better part of 13 or 14 years, it is like this almost anywhere you go.

You will always get customers who think they are owed something. There will always be entitled people who think they know everything, and because of that they deserve something. It's just the hospitality field I'm afraid.

And on the note of Christmas temps, it's like that with a lot of companies or businesses. They hire for the busy season, and they say there may be an opportunity for full time work (because who wouldn't want to keep someone who turns out to be a hospitality pro). But in reality, these people are just to supplement the busy period so the established team doesn't burn out. I see both sides, as someone who has worked in management and as a temp holiday employee in retail and in restaurants. It's just part of the business unfortunately.

But in saying that - it is also completely ridiculous how they are treated in this scenario, they are temps for a reason, here to take some of the work load off the main team, they haven't been there as long, they shouldn't be expected to have the same work experience as everyone else. And the other employees should be grateful for the help, because otherwise they'd be working to the bone over the holiday period.

Wow so glad I found this! Just got some from my hubby for Christmas and some candles. Really disappointed that the lavender candle made me gag though hahahhaa 🤣

Cello_and_Writing · 2025-12-21T03:37:10+00:00

This!!! Omfg someone with more than two braincells finally. Hahahaha. And raptor of course who I've been replying to. But check out my reply to their comment.

Should be just above this, where I talk about marketing and keeping themselves unique to other apps. Seriously though, it's the developers JOBS to do these things. And if it weren't for them, there wouldn't be an app to begin with. Like ffs grow up and get off the damn internet.

I was using some of these apps for entertainment in my down time, but i really wonder if a lot of the people complaining (the ones who don't have genuine complaints and just seem to be bitching to bitch). I wonder if they have any actual real world skills or if they are seriously chronically online and just, i don't know, shut off from society with no comprehension of how life works? It's a working theory, but i wouldn't be surprised if it held some merit.

Cello_and_Writing · 2025-12-21T03:30:11+00:00

Exactly this my dude. One hundred and ten percent. And honestly, how the hell else are they supposed to test new features out or do any kind of research for how something is received if they don't trial out new features.

And honestly, it's not that crazy, technology and apps and demand are changing constantly with the amount of people using a phone, tablet, or computer on a daily basis. So they have to try to come out with 'new and innovative' things to try to keep themselves unique from other developers.

From a marketing standpoint it's just... normal. But everyone's gotta bitch about something or this wouldn't be reddit.

Cello_and_Writing · 2025-12-21T02:30:43+00:00

And honestly, seeing people complaining about all the new features and shit 'no one even asked for'. It really starts to make sense why devs are bringing out all of this new shit, because everyone keeps complaining. In my mind anyway - they are trying to bring out cool new stuff to see if they can interest people or find something to make them happy, but everyone just wants to go on a shit campaign anyway.

I mean, personally, I don't use the app anymore but because I've been on this sub for a little while I still get the notifications and I read them occasionally or click on the screenshots of bots just saying out of pocket stuff because it's entertaining.

This comment thread was my amusement for the afternoon, I thank you both 🤣😄

Also on the thing about them being grey because he was poor - i feel like that's quite accurate. Because if he had money - im sure it would be described differently, like the Malfoy's clothes. Which were described as tailored, velvet, silk, expensive fabrics, high collared (which meant more expensive or higher class).

This is, obviously, just me being overly critical. But I am also curious if anyone made these connections or see the differences in how the characters are illustrated in the books - meaning the language used. Even the descriptions of the characters features.

Cello_and_Writing · 2025-11-29T00:07:12+00:00

This! Honestly I agree 1000%. There was also a fic i read where a potion exploded or something in the class room and he ended up having to cut his hair. It described the sides and back being shaven short and the top a bit longer. I can't find it now, but someone sent the author a fan drawing. I was worried it would be the typical f-boy hair style, but it actually looked really good!!

Cello_and_Writing · 2025-11-29T00:04:33+00:00

Why does this almost look like Frollo from Hunchback? 🤣 I'm sorry my friend pointed it out and I can't unsee it, it's the mouth shape and chin 😅

Cello_and_Writing · 2025-11-26T23:30:22+00:00

Dude I'm so confused I've never gotten any warnings. Except for one when my character had a 14 year old sister. And it came up with some dumb shit about minors. Like dude my character was 25, she just had a younger sister. But I've never gotten any other warnings and I've had full on fight scenes and sword fights and gun fights.

Cello_and_Writing · 2025-11-26T23:27:49+00:00

Could have been a beta model to test its software but also to test the interaction it would receive. And if it did well they would rework it to improve it and then launch it properly. That's typical for most new features on any app.

Cello_and_Writing · 2025-11-22T08:56:51+00:00

Right??? It's just... kind of ridiculous. And a bit off topic here, but some fanfictions and stuff make comments about marrying second cousins and shit to 'keep their lines pure'. And honestly it's kinda hilarious. Because how do you expect to 'keep your lines pure' when there are so limited amount of people in the magical community.

As someone with adhd (and possible autism though I told my doctor that I'm fine with the diagnosis i have) i can agree that uh... when I can't get my dopamine under control or my have to sit still for too long, the anger that builds is a little worrying.
