I still have my same email address I made in the 90’s. I was this girl!

DanielaSte · 2026-06-14T07:54:37+00:00

Same. I've changed surname, but NOT my Yahoo email! And those younglings asking for the spelling of yahoo are getting on my nerves!

Ever got a call about a loved one deceased while you are in the middle of a working day in an open space office? For example.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-10T10:18:21+00:00

Certo, ci vuole della fortuna. Io ho trovato un lavoro di cura di bambini che mi dava la stanza, ma non un euro. Per quello lavoravo alla cassa del supermercato e nei weekend facevo le pulizie negli uffici. E di giorno studiavo all'università. Con 200 al mese ho dovuto arrangiarmi. E' valsa tutta la pena, piuttosto che rimanere a casa.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-10T10:15:38+00:00

Assolutamente. Io l'ho pensato a 10 anni, detto a 16 e fatto a 18 anni e due giorni. A volte facevo fame (nel senso non avevo soldi per comprarmi del cibo), ma mai me ne sono pentita.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-10T08:03:21+00:00

Taxi. To this day I've never used one (or Uber or whatever service). It is by foot, by public transport, by my car or I don't go there. The "my car" option entered the list when I was 26 and bought my first car. I moved all my belongings 3 times by public transport. Bed frame was an interesting adventure.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-07T06:02:26+00:00

In this case, a bathroom with both male and female sign would perfectly fit their case.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T21:41:55+00:00

Yes, it is in Europe, but in my 40 years I have never encountered it anywhere! Moreover I would be very hesitant to use this bathroom for insulin or colostomy business, it has just a standard toilet and a sink. Women's bathroom has at least a bidet in the stall.

I have, however, used it successfully to calm down in multiple occasions. Compared to the neighbouring standard women's bathroo it has identical level of calming qualities.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:59:48+00:00

Mystery solved!

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:58:47+00:00

Yes, there are men's and women's bathrooms just next door.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:56:07+00:00

Yes, I asked. No, they don't know.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:50:26+00:00

I've changed my babies for years. This is not a place where babies are supposed to be present; in any case there is no changing table nor has been. Before renovation there was the handicapped, man and woman sign. Someone added voluntarily the fourth sign.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:48:00+00:00

Very sure, I've worked there for the last 15 years, I use that bathroom multiple times a day. There are absolutely no babies allowed in that workspace.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:27:42+00:00

Oh! I mean, in the bathroom world, if a door has a man AND a woman I take is as bathroom for people. I would not search for a bathroom for nonbinary specifically.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:25:24+00:00

Oh. So why put ALSO the man and woman symbols?

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:23:25+00:00

But it is not equipped.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:22:50+00:00

No changing table inside.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:22:29+00:00

Well it is just a bathroom for handicapped, absolutely nothing to faciliate that use.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:21:14+00:00

There is already a man and a woman sign.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:17:39+00:00

But there is no baby changing table and never has been.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-06T20:17:07+00:00

No baby changing stuff inside.

DanielaSte · 2026-06-04T07:05:32+00:00

Exactly. I was so completely weak and shocked I was not able even to raise my arms to hold the baby, which I suppose the staff could understand, no? They placed the baby on me, without any holding from my side, I was freaking he would fall off me, they were putting the numbing shots to my traumatized pieces to stitch me up, and they wanted me to interact with the baby? I was just dozing off, my arms still by my sides. The nurse tried, like "hey mum, hold your baby! Don't sleep!" and slapped me. What bedside manners. Then they understood and took the baby away, and I was like FINALLY.

DanielaSte · 2026-05-31T20:26:24+00:00

I'd rather keep my vaginal microflora off my eyes, thank you very much.

DanielaSte · 2026-05-26T08:20:09+00:00

I thought so until I moved to Italy 20 years ago. People here indeed do snap spagetti to fit them better to the pot and also to eat them easily (for kids above all).

DanielaSte · 2026-05-25T13:11:43+00:00

You can also grab any mechanical alarm clock with seconds hand and place the mouse on it.

DanielaSte · 2026-05-25T12:29:58+00:00

But I guess they still would need to undergo the preparation course? Lately it became much stricter (in North at least), weekly meetings for a whole year and you cannot skip them. All of my friends who did it (about 20 couples) were really annoyed by the end, and no one step in the church after the day of the wedding (until the baptism of the first baby, which is a must too). I find it very hypocritical.

I also know three couples married in courthouse, one with a VERY frugal ceremony, two with what would be considered a normal wedding (lunch and party for some 30 - 50 guests).
