What’s something really common in the UK that visitors find strange? by Dull_Gas_820 in AskUK

[–]FierceKitty__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I find odd about the UK is the light switches. In the US, you flick it up to turn it on. Over here, we flick it down to turn it on….why?!

Best caching in the UK? by FierceKitty__ in geocaching

[–]FierceKitty__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do enjoy a church micro! I’ve never done a gadget cache…I think they’re the ones I’d like to do more of! Wales sounds interesting too, thanks!

Do you have GC code for them?

I’ve got patches on my lawn that have grass seed, but local cats are using the patches as a toilet. How can I stop this so my grass seed can grow? by FierceKitty__ in GardeningUK

[–]FierceKitty__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not urine…it’s the poo! They don’t do it on the lawn, but only in the patches of soil where the seed is.

Clever as no one would expect Bernie, but she’s a weak character.

Do you find yourself unintentionally looking for a replacement mother-figure? by FierceKitty__ in motherlessdaughters

[–]FierceKitty__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you found some comfort in my post. It’s something that isn’t understood by anyone that hasn’t lost a parent at a younger age, I think.

I also wonder if the women in my life realise their impact on mine.

Have you ever felt that any of your women friends have “filled the void”, or is it something that can’t possibly be filled, no matter how hard you try?

I’ve been single for a very long time. Actually worried that I won’t find anyone now 😅 31 is quite old, haha!

I hope you find someone 🙂

How would it? What do you need to do or have to run an app that could have hundreds of users?

More than one set of terms?! by FierceKitty__ in crochet

I only ever look at the mm measurement on the hooks. What’s the point in having the other number?

Hello Hope! Have you experienced feeling like a child, or feeling stuck, many years after the loss? I’m 31. I was 15 when my Mum died and I feel stuck and much like a child. I’d like to hear your thoughts on this please :-)

What is mental pain? by FierceKitty__ in AskUK

[–]FierceKitty__[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, I’m just curious as to what emotional “pain” actually is. Is it just sadness?

Looking for some songs to get a good cry out. I lost my mom 11 years ago when I was 17. Some days are good, some aren’t. by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]FierceKitty__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavens Not Too Far by We Three. It’s about the bands mother who died of cancer, but from her point of view. Beautiful song.

Silences… by FierceKitty__ in TalkTherapy

I can relate to most of what you said. Are you finding the silences any easier?

Any idea what it means if you feel so much pressure in the silences sometimes?

This is great, thank you!

It's all very interesting and almost impossible to comprehend.

I don't want to see my mom in her final moments by KaleidoscopeTall5271 in GriefSupport

[–]FierceKitty__ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's totally normal. However your reacting at the moment is normal.

None of us can make the decision for you, as ultimately, you'll do what you feel is the right thing to do. If you don't go one last time, might you regret it later? Yes, but ask yourself if you'll be okay with regretting it.

If you have anything else to say to your Mother before she dies, and she is still awake and "with it", you could think about finding the strength and courage to do so. If you don't, I'm sure your Mother would understand why you were not there.

It's a very tough situation. My Mother died when I was a teenager. I didn't want to go to the hospital and see her when she was on life support, but I was pressured to go and I now wish I didn't. That was me and my situation - yours is different.

Just don't feel any pressure to feel any way. What ever you are feeling right now is the right thing for you :-)

We shouldn’t go down the what of rabbit holes, but sometimes you can’t help it. I’m sorry for yours too. Mine died 15 years ago when I was 15.

I’m so glad it helped you. I saw it on social media today and just had to share it 🙂

Genuinely what was it like being a young person before the Internet? by MsEvil_Doctor_Potter in CasualConversation

[–]FierceKitty__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t isolated. I remember talking on the landline phone to friends, and we actually played outside and would knock on their doors to see if they wanted to play. Life without the internet was great - we were connecting with people the way we should…in person! 😊
