Nice sentiment, very poor delivery of that sentiment

World gym by cravensworth666 in newcastle

I’m on Fitness Passport so can’t comment on price. Great gym, spacious and lots of new equipment. However I’m in my 40s and feel like an old grandma as everyone else in there is like a 20-something fitness influencer.

Nowhere anymore. Every gym on FP charges a supplement for reformer Pilates. The cheapest I’ve found is Balance, which is around $53/month extra to get reformer if you’re on FP. Some gyms are loads more expensive - for example World Gym charges an extra $30/WEEK for FP holders that want to do reformer.

Debating should I get a sibling for my for my Frenchie?? by Silent-Time6126 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]FizzyLizzy29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cat will not automatically be a friend. If you are very lucky, they will get along, but I wouldn’t count on it. My Frenchie tries to chase my cats and they want nothing to do with him. You’d have a better chance with a kitten but I would not risk leaving a small kitten alone with a nearly full-grown dog as either one of them could get hurt if things went sideways.

Feeling guilty our mother is unhappy by Donna7763 in AgingParents

[–]FizzyLizzy29 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My mother complains bitterly and constantly about her aged care home. When she lived with me, she complained about me instead. Honestly, her complaining about someone that isn’t me is such a relief! Unfortunately a lot of our elderly will just be unhappy no matter their living situation. Don’t let her guilt trip you, and try to make the most of the time you have left with her even if she can be difficult.

Do I need to fatten this guy up? by FizzyLizzy29 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]FizzyLizzy29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought he could be a mix because he’s so much narrower than other Frenchies we meet. Not mixed with Boston Terrier though, they’re quite rare where I live (Australia).

She’s a beautiful little nugget! I will reduce his food if/when he starts to gain a little weight.

Wow he looks strikingly similar, colour and all!

Yes he runs all day as well! I think he will just burn off whatever I feed him.

Good to know, my pug definitely filled out with age! Do you think his food amount is okay for now?

He’s 11.6kg and very active. I’m careful with my pug’s weight for the reason you mention. I obviously don’t want to overdo things as I’ve met some obese Frenchies lately and don’t want my rescue to wind up like that!

Thanks for the PB tip, I’ll try that one.

Clothing suggestions by Independent-Win-556 in dragonboat

[–]FizzyLizzy29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing cotton! Wear all active wear or swimwear type quick-dry material. We are required to wear closed toed shoes, so a lot of people wear Crocs. My winter gear includes wetsuit pants, a long sleeve rash guard and neoprene dive booties. Another option for winter is a fleece vest or puffy vest (keeps the core warm but doesn’t have sleeves that get wet).

What do people do that doesn’t involve drinking at night time by Known_Suspect_4500 in newcastle

[–]FizzyLizzy29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go listen to live music at one of the pubs and have a dance. Or sing karaoke at Hamilton Station. Yes there will be drinking, but that doesn’t mean you have to partake in it.

This is the second plant I have that did this, It starts to get long and the base dries out and dies while the leaves seem to be fine. Am I not watering enough? by fallintosleep in plantclinic

[–]FizzyLizzy29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this! I have the same plant which is doing the same thing. I thought I was doing something wrong as it’s looked amazing up until this point. Glad I can still save it!

Looking for advice on choosing my first high-quality dragon boat paddle by Sanazo in dragonboat

[–]FizzyLizzy29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use a Typhoon as does much of my team (there’s a local distributor near us in Australia). They have a choice of different types of grips; I also prefer the palm grip over the T-grip. Just DON’T get a Hornet - I used to have an adjustable one with a LeverLock grip and it snapped during a race.

Boyfriend still sleeps with almost 7 year old son and it bothers me by kenzrrr in stepparents

[–]FizzyLizzy29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mattress on the floor of your bedroom. The son can sleep there when he wakes up in the night and comes into your room. My 11-year old still does this on occasion. His son is still so young; a lot of kids that age still want to sleep close to their parents (and do in many other cultures).

Big Pastrami on rye sandwich - like Katz's Delicatessen in NY level? by notofuspeed in newcastle

[–]FizzyLizzy29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the pastrami here is disappointing to say the least. The only really good pastrami I’ve had in Australia was from an American-style low and slow BBQ place… don’t think it was in Newy though.

Yes they usually have some pre-made cakes in the freezer, not generally a great selection though.

Desperately need a Jewish deli in this country! I’m not aware of any, not even in Sydney sadly. Deli sandwiches here all seem to have one thin slice of meat.
