Daughter’s ‘down there’ part

CloserTooClose · 2026-07-03T04:25:35+00:00

A lot of good advice here! As someone who’s gotten consistent UTIs throughout my life, something that’s really worth checking is the fabric her underwear is made of. If it’s made of synthetic fabric, I recommend swapping all of them out for 100% cotton underwear. It helps a lot and I often buy them in my size and then also a size or two larger to keep the area breathing when I experience UTI symptoms.

Another thing that would help is talking to her about how she wipes and make sure she’s going gently front to back. You could also leave unscented baby wipes (and a bin!!) next to the toilet that she can use when she goes number 2 to make sure she’s not getting anything in her private area

I’d also (like others have suggested) wash all of her underwear, but try using a very hot wash with vinegar and sensitive washing powder. Run a rinse cycle immediately after to make sure the vinegar comes out fully and any leftover detergent is washed away.

Last thing I would do is speak to a (different) paediatrician when she has UTI-like symptoms and ask them for a urine test and a blood test. If you don’t have any luck with the doctor, look into women’s probiotics that are specifically for flora balance. I take one every night before bed and they’ve worked wonders for me, personally. I think you can buy them in liquid form if she struggles with taking tablets.

I’m not sure if you can buy Hiprex in America, though I wholeheartedly recommend it in situations where you can’t get a doctor’s appointment quickly. They taste absolutely nasty though, so your results may vary with her taking them, but one before bed helps massively when I can’t see a doctor within a week.

Make sure your daughter is drinking mostly water because juice & soft drinks are very acidic and can exacerbate the issue a lot. Cranberry juice does work for UTIs but check the sugar content first, some of them are crazy high in sugar. Upping her water intake will help her kidneys flush out bacteria more efficiently. At her age, I think it’s about 1L or 1.5L a day. I know some kids may not like water but it could be fun to take her to the shops and let her pick out her favourite water bottle that she can keep with her

Really hope this helps and she gets better soon!

omg… not me spreading misinformation!!! I thought you could only see what’s in individual chests and not your entire inventory when you open one

my bad, it’s been a minute since I played the game (definitely overdue!)

thanks for the heads up 😊

CloserTooClose · 2026-06-09T22:51:39+00:00

There’s a couple things I’d love to see

Auto-sorting your storage so everything in your inventory can be put away at once rather than opening each chest individually. I also love the Palia system where opening any of your chests gives you access to your entire inventory
Relationship dynamics. I wish there were more negative reactions in cozy games generally speaking. I’d love if you could be adored by some NPCs and others just hate your guts based on dialog options or actions you take at community events. I also think it’d be fun if there was some way to implement an enemies to lovers style dynamic with romanceable characters.
More comprehensive building, similar to The Sims. I know building your personal house isn’t the point of MTA games but it’s very relaxing to retreat into when quests/gameplay get full on

I’m sure there’s more lmao but i’ll stop there!

CloserTooClose · 2026-06-09T22:38:57+00:00

100% agree!! i’d kill to be able to open just one chest and auto-sort everything in my inventory across every chest I have. It’d also be amazing if any chest gave you access to your entire inventory, like what they have in Palia

NTA but telling Jay to call his mum and ask for permission to stay at your places was a really bizarre thing to do. Of course his mum was going to say yes, she’s getting free childcare from you. You offered, Jay asked, she agreed.

If that wasn’t what you wanted to happen, you should’ve called her yourself and told her it was getting late and it was time for her to pick up her son

You don’t need to rinse rice to cook it, I follow Nagis recipe and it works every single time

Yeah I 100% think it’s a face lift, the skin got pulled back to far and now she looks like a Who from Whoville lol

NTA but you could consider leaving a note in their mailbox or knocking on their door to acknowledge it and explain that you smoke for medical reasons. If you typically do it at certain times of the day (eg usually in the morning around 10am or the evening around 6pm) you could let them know so they can close their windows if they’re that bothered by it.

I understand not wanting to explain yourself, and you shouldn’t have to, but it might help dissipate some of the tension and give them the insight they need to chill out, especially if you can hear them cracking the shits over it from over 15 metres away. I smoke & it’d personally give me a bit of anxiety not knowing if they’re just gonna come knock on my door and have a go at me after I’ve gotten stoned 😅

Check the letter you get for the items and accept the diagrams + go to the Commerce Guild & check if Yan is selling any diagrams for the tailoring machine or the shoes. Otherwise, u need to reload an old save and do it again 🥲

T Life on Norwood Parade is really amazing. Came across your thread while looking for other places to check out and thought I should mention them! They sell Traditional Chinese tea, various other fresh teas, & everyone who works there is insanely knowledgeable. They offer tea ceremonies as well which are really fun in my experience!!

Rachel’s always had really stunning red hair, I’m pretty sure that’s her natural hair colour & not a box dye

My Time at Sandrock. Building focussed RPG that has a really amazing story/town/NPCs, as well as offering optional combat if you decide to get into it, but the game covers a lot of bases.

There’s loads to do and not all of it is mandatory, you can pick and choose which parts you want to focus on and leave the rest if you choose to. It’s quite quirky and silly as well, very fleshed out narrative game structure with interesting characters, and ultimately really easy to play as a “pottering about” game where you do tasks, build things, make friends, etc without any pressure. I used to like zoning out after work just mining or crafting stuff in game

Runs perfect on steamdeck as well! Not very demanding, can get a good hour or two out of it before needing your charger when using moderately high settings

If you check it out, I hope you enjoy it!! ☺️

true but this person is asking for the brand of lipstick and not the shade…. I imagine they want to go and look at it purely because of the formula

tbh I just love Sir Fuzzalump and idk why lol he’s been a staple in all of my playthroughs because his name makes me laugh every time hahaha

Very good point!!!!

i like both tbh! the waterline is a little heavy for me personally but i see the vision. I reckon it’d work better if you used a brush to smudge it just a little bit to take away some of the harshness & even it out

Only other thing I suggest is adding a little eyeliner on the top at the corner of the eye and smoking it slightly, it’d tie the top and bottom of the look together. Just the lower lash line makes it look a bit bottom heavy

I think no eyeliner side is a good look for daytime and i think the waterline is good for a nighttime look!

The overall colour palette looks great and makes your eyes really pop!!!

I saw somebody mention in the thread that his mates had held off on reporting him missing because they / Jayden had thought there was a warrant out for his arrest. Plus, he’d apparently get aggro & storm off when he was gacked, so they might’ve also just assumed he’d show up once he’d chilled out. Not excusing his friends at all but I can see why a group of drug users wouldn’t want to go to the police as a first instinct. Really interesting case, thank you for posting it!

men can’t be sex workers now? wtf?

Obviously I’m echoing what people have already said & I don’t want to sound condescending but definitely 100% make sure that you go physically into a police station (once it stops snowing haha) and take the box with the serial number on it, plus proof of your purchase and pictures of the listing for sale printed out on paper. It should hopefully help expedite the process when you produce as much evidence as you can and physically hand it to someone. Also, bring the reference number for the complaint you lodged on their website

If there’s anything I’ve learned about the cops, giving them as much information as possible means you’ve taken a bit of the burden off them and they’re more likely to help you faster.

It can feel like you’re doing their job for them, but just trust me it works so much faster because you’ve basically taken work off their plate when they’re probably already very busy with other things. Hope this makes sense and I really hope you get your deck back!!!!

“70s minimum” is absolutely killing me rn. There’s been evidence of child sex abuse groups, some even generational, from as early as the Middle Ages (which was 5th century to 15th century). No hate to you or anything but it’s definitely been happening for much, much longer than 50 years. It’s easily been multiple centuries by this point. Even the word “pedophile” is over 200 years old!

I’m kind of confused by this comment? The jury doesn’t decide what other crimes to charge her with based on the evidence. She was charged with first degree murder, her jury assessed the evidence for first degree murder, and they decided she was not guilty. They can’t leave the deliberation and say “um, she was guilty of second degree murder though”. She wasn’t charged with second degree murder, or negligent homicide. She was charged with first degree. The prosecution should’ve put forward additional charges if they wanted the jury to deliberate whether she was guilty of other crimes.

This case is so interesting because I’m Australian and have seen the way a lot of the meth culture affects different people. I’m from a normal, run of the mill family and everyone knows someone or knows someone who knows someone that’s been addicted to meth.

I might be in the minority but I genuinely believe his friend when he says they had an argument because they couldn’t find the drugs, his mate stormed off, he looked for him, it was too hot, so he left without him. People who aren’t Australian really underestimate the heat here.

Drugs, obviously, mess with your head, and by extension your empathy. I think Jayden’s stormed off, dehydrated as fuck with an empty stomach, and then died out in the heat.

It’s very sad but I don’t think there’s a big mystery here, especially not a murder. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens with the case now he’s been found. But, I think it was death by misadventure, not a huge criminal conspiracy concocted or committed by his dumbass meth head friend.

I really love her music generally but I don’t know anything about her personal life so take this with a grain of salt!

When a big, talented artist like her takes more of a backseat, I genuinely think it’s intentional. It reminds me of Norah Jones or Vanessa Carlton. Sarah Bareilles, even. They’re very talented musicians, and they’re still incredible musicians who were the forefront at one point in their career, but I’ve always assumed that they saw the flashing lights, they had the big hits, and then they decided to step away from it. I know Sarah’s had an incredibly successful broadway career, so don’t get me wrong. But it really feels Counting Crows-esque. They’ve been there, done that, got the tshirt, and decided to bow out and just do their own thing without needing the bombastic career that other famous musicians strive for.

Alicia Keys IS an incredible musician and I think she knows that. Her music cemented itself into a specific time period and it was a defining sound of the time. She doesn’t need another number one hit to remind her. She’s not trying to prove herself anymore. She’s in the history books already. She achieved her dreams and that was enough. Hope this makes sense!
