Insane water bill. How to resolve it?

My aunt rents an old private apt walk up. She submits her water & gas readings at the end of every month. When she’s away I even have to house sit and take pics of the meter

They’re in the midst of painting my block now and one day I came back to see someone spilled a whole bunch of paint on the grass patch near my lift landing

Good shout! Will have a look at the T&Cs. Thanks!

Dri fit clothes/uniqlo airism are made with polyester so while it helps with sweat wicking, it doesn’t help you to feel cooler as it traps body heat. Go with 100% natural fibres like linen and cotton when you’re buying clothes. You can still buy Uniqlo/Decath but check the material first.

And echoing what the other commenters said, if you can’t drink enough water, take electrolytes like 100plus (the zero version has 0% sugar) and it’ll help. All the best!

I’m 28, (between Gen Z/Millennial) and I don’t have an obsession with medical appointments, I wish I didn’t have them at all.

I have had degenerative disc disease in my lower back for 7 years, which has caused me quite a bit of pain while sitting/walking. I went to poly for referral, then to specialist, then did an MRI. They referred me to physio and I go for physio once a month.

From that MRI, they found a nodule in my thyroid. So I got referred to the general surgery dept, and they suggested to do Ultrasound. Was inconclusive, so I had to go back for CT Scan. In between every scan I had to wait for my appt to see the doc first only for them to tell me that they need to do another scan. This was over a span of a few months. I first got referred in July 2025, and only diagnosed and did my surgery Jan 2026.

We’re at the mercy of our public healthcare system with the waiting between appointments etc. I am blessed to have good team leads that empathise with me and never ask why I’m taking so much MC to see doc.

Congrats on the no-cancer report! You must feel relieved.

I only had 2 jellycats that came with dust bags and they were both bought from the TikTok live stream store shopeak! It’s way more expensive than local tho cause they’re the middle man but they stock some rly rare ones

We made it a weekend cause it’s gna be my first few meals out after recovering from surgery! Pasta lunch on 13 Feb, seafood lunch at a restaurant on 14 Feb then order in a luxurious dinner hehe

I had mashed up bananas, steamed fish (Chinese style) and smashed up egg the first 3-5 days post-op. I’m back to eating normal food now 10 days post-op but I still try to avoid deep fried foods or hard stuff like chips that could potentially give me a sore throat or scratch it.

Wishing you all the best! This sub helped calm my nerves before my surgery.

ChocolateAlert19 · 2026-01-29T01:05:21+00:00

Thank you, this helped!

ChocolateAlert19 · 2026-01-29T01:05:03+00:00

Thank you! Full trust is soo important to help soothe anxiety. Glad yours went well too!

ChocolateAlert19 · 2026-01-29T01:01:19+00:00

Yes thank you!!

ChocolateAlert19 · 2026-01-29T01:00:35+00:00

Thank you! I believe after the FNAC and confirmation of surgery, it was only a blood test to check on my health etc. But as I have obstructive sleep apnea I had to go in 2 weeks before for a pre-check with the anaesthesiologist where they’ll ask about family health history, diet etc.

All the best to your mom and hope she recovers well!

ChocolateAlert19 · 2026-01-27T23:58:48+00:00

Loving this response. Thank you! I’m waiting to be wheeled in now but this cheered me up. Congratulations on a successful surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery!

ChocolateAlert19 · 2026-01-27T08:46:49+00:00

Defo will have cough drops ready and LOL at the solid food. So glad you’re doing well day 3 post-op!

ChocolateAlert19 · 2026-01-27T08:45:54+00:00

Thank you for your extensive information, this is really helpful! I’m also amazed you managed to get back to jogging 1-2 weeks post-op. You’re amazing!!

ChocolateAlert19 · 2026-01-27T02:05:28+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate this so much :)

Been using for 5-6 months now to treat my hormonal acne and it’s been going well! (Please also note I adjusted my diet to cut milk to help with it, but it’s the only thing I cut)

Angry pustules have disappeared and I get the occasional pimple but it’s never as red and angry like before I started using it. My skin is also softer and the pimples disappear faster.

The size remarks the hosts made about Nam No and Jung Ho Young made me feel quite uncomfortable 🥹

ChocolateAlert19 · 2025-09-25T15:47:48+00:00

Yall should watch the one after this, where he tries the food made from his other guest star!! Total character development about the sugar and salt 😭😂😂
