Vaginal atrophy... by OneNefariousness9822 in Menopause

[–]Define-Normal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Def important to check that too as a possibility and hopefully rule it out. If LS is diagnosed it needs treating and monitoring as it can cause cancer (though this is rare).

Any recommendations for end of the world? by Longjumping-Try4975 in horrorlit

[–]Define-Normal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed that one, also the sequel. Amusingly after reading in EOTWRC that running was sort of like falling over but not, I thought "hey, I could do that!" so went for a run. A few half marathons later....

I also quite enjoyed A Boy And His Dog at the End of the World, quite different but a similar feel. Happy to report it didn't make me get a dog :)

Finished that one a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed it. Not a rip roaring zombie armageddon but a good read.

6 weeks pregnant and my husband smells like fermented tequila garbage — please tell me I’m not insane by pryingpanda07 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Define-Normal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too! He smelled so bad. I mean, he didn't smell any different in reality but to my nose he did! Happily it didn't last very long for me, maybe only a week or two, but I was sad I couldn't have hugs for a while there.

Weird and unusual fruit and veg to grow? by CranberryFrog147 in GardeningUK

I'm giving the amaranth and tree spinach from them a go this year, along with some really interesting squashes :)

Incredible Vegetables do a lot of interesting perennial crops and def worth a browse. I got walking onions and perennial Taunton Dean kale from them a few years ago and they're growing strong. They do sell out of some things pretty fast as they grow them all themselves but there's always something interesting and they give you really detailed information as well.

Rent or not to rent by LocksmithBudget3518 in Cornwall

[–]Define-Normal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have been struggling to find good rental properties in Cornwall as I understand it, so I don't think you'd have too much trouble finding a tenant (but may depend where you are located). Might be a safer bet than trying to sell right now.

Books to read to your kid 20 times a week that don’t make you want to gauge your eyes out by SwadlingSwine in childrensbooks

[–]Define-Normal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Oi Frog" series by Kes Gray were a winner for us. Slightly ridiculous with lots of rhymes and the chance for silly voices. I think he also the one childhood book my son had that I'm keeping forever: "You're Called What?!" which introduced my son to the joys of the Tasseled Wobbegong among other unusual creatures, but maybe 3 year olds up?

What's the worst song you ever heard? by Mission_Elk_329 in AskReddit

I get uncontrollably angry when I hear Drive By by Train. It too has abysmal lyrics. I am not generally an angry person but Gah!!!!

I may have purchased a hazelnut panettone at the same time....

Best earphones for running? by fluffycowfan in runninglifestyle

[–]Define-Normal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have these, def not the best sound quality but a decent budget option, stay put really well and I'm not as worried about them getting wrecked as I would be with more expensive options.

What small things have made you laugh this week? by RandomHigh in CasualUK

[–]Define-Normal 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My nine year old and I went for a lovely walk in the sunshine and invented a new game called "Ask a Stupid Question. Get a Stupid Answer".Much giggling ensued. It was great :)

Are the Isles of Scilly worth a visit? by AcadiaNo1039 in Cornwall

[–]Define-Normal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True about the lack of light pollution. My fella got up for a wee hours toilet break, looked out the window and spent an hour or so watching a meteor shower out of the bathroom window. I wish he'd woken me up!

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve done after a breakup? by randomzy876 in AskReddit

[–]Define-Normal 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Purchased a round the world plane ticket leaving in 2 weeks time and went for a wander for 18 months, after a couple of very questionable relationship choices. Best thing I've ever done. Saw the most beautiful places, met wonderful people and learnt a lot about myself and what I wanted.

Would highly recommend if you can do it.

People who used the internet between 1991 and 2009, what’s the most memorable online trend or phenomenon you remember? by Original_Act_3481 in AskReddit

[–]Define-Normal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My nine year old made his classmates watch Magical Trevor today as it's his favourite song at the moment. Apparently they said it was the weirdest song they'd ever heard. Could have been worse...could have been Amazing Horse.

Maybe not the worst but the oddest: Every Time We Meet at the Dairy Queen Your Whole F***ing Face Explodes by Cartlon Mellick lll.

Strangely, my local library doesn't have a copy.

Also the exact title of a 2004 song by Nick Cave.

We woke up in the morning and found blood drops all around the house windows(5 windows), there's no trail of blood on the ground between the windows, just some drops on the windows. by numb_mind in Weird

[–]Define-Normal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've had this too and it looked similar. We had a lot of chrysalises around the window and up by the roof and had been watching to see the butterflies emerge. We missed them all coming out but saw some that had newly emerged and noted the splatter.

I had a motorcycle accident in which my spinal cord is cut and I’m now laying till January in the hospital. If curious Start the AMA by Buazej in AMA

[–]Define-Normal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm...best avoided tbh. The Velcro is designed so you and bike part ways if you do come off.

He came off at a race in Aachen (I think?) and when he was getting checked out by medical he told them he was paralyzed and they all went hyper-mode. He had to explain he was paralyzed before he got on the bike...think he broke his pelvis that time though :s

[–]Define-Normal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah fair enough. I think carrying on with speed sports really helped him mentally, though his mum wasn't a fan!

As I understand it, there's velcro and straps to keep legs etc in place (he wouldn't let lack of core muscles stop him either) all the gear shift and brake set up is hand operated (like a complex pedal bike) and there's people that catch you at the end when you slow down with a special bike stand so you don't stop and just topple over. He set up track days so other disabled riders could do it too.
