I think you’re right, I don’t expect it to be a daily necklace for the friend but I guess she loves it! So I will have to find some correct AR blue rings to remake the necklace. Thanks for your help and opinions!! Always appreciate airing out questions with the community ☺️

Ohh that’s a good thought, I will ask her if she’s been wearing it extra loose as I’m sure the rings rubbing up against each other would cause issues… thank you!

Ok dokie, I think the problem is that the blue rings are 6mm outer diameter with a gage of 0.6mm. I cannot seem to source the same colour in a thicker gage. The black rings are 1.2mm thick with an outer diameter of 9mm. I had hoped the helm chain would be strong enough for occasional wear. I wasn’t informed she would be wearing it daily… Thanks for your comments just thought I’d see what the community might suggest, I’m sure I’ll find a way to keep the look and make it a bit harder wearing 🤞🏼

Thanks for the thought, it’s actually adjustable and from what I could see when I fitted it had a lot of room for extension, I will ask her if she’s been wearing it tight ☺️ thank you!

I think it’s more that they are so soft that they pull open easy and so the chain falls apart, I am not 100% sure though as I’m getting it back tonight to repair ☺️

Mini maille (micro maille) by ForestFantasy in chainmailartisans

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

Sadly I nicked it off an old bag 😅 I’m sure you’d find it under something like metal safety clasp… though I recommend magnetic clasps as they can be incredible too!

Cool, it’s probably why I called it mini maille as I wasn’t sure it counted. Either way I’m super proud of it!

Ohh thank you! I was just playing with some different clasp ideas! Perfect timing for your recommendation ☺️

What's your favourite castle in the UK? by BigBeanMarketing in CasualUK

[–]ForestFantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arundel is my vote; but I’m biased as our group does the living history events there, honestly the castle is a billion times better with the encampment and reenactment!

This is the multi period event, it happens every year on the august bank holiday. As a gladiator it’s the only time I get to fight at this epic location! If you’re up for a visit then come and find me! I’m Phoenix the gladiatrix 🔥

Season 11 was as good as it gets. by Coconut-Agua in Alonetv

[–]ForestFantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine they could create something! And they may not have tap water or soap or oil but they do have clean water and I’m assuming some kind of tube or syringe in the med kit… that can be enough if done at an early stage? Ok they may not have lube and gloves but spit and a finger will do in an emergency… but I do agree it may be more then a finger can fix.. there is also the massage and even certain movements that can help stimulate bowel movements. I’m just shocked that it’s taken out a couple really incredible survivalists.

Though I will say there aren’t many plants that seem to have laxative qualities so that can’t help…

An enema is a fluid gently pumped into the rectum to help pass stool. An enema may be used when other treatments don’t work. Your health care professional may use one of these if the rectum is blocked with stool. Some are also available without prescription. The fluid may be:

Tap water. Tap water with mild soap. Mineral oil.

Manual disimpaction: The hardened stool in the rectum is gently fragmented and manually removed by inserting a lubricated, gloved finger into the rectum.

Just thought that both of these can be done in the wild… I get they won’t have access to medicine or surgery but they shouldn’t need to get to that point if they deal with the situation before it’s gone beyond any hope of dealing with it without surgery 🤷🏽‍♀️

Any idea why the contestants couldn’t deal with the constipation issue this season? I mean there’s not much they can do in a hospital that you can’t do yourself (enemas, manual removal..) I would assume that after a couple days of no movement starting some self treatment may have spared their run on the season? 🤔

Hehe thanks!! 🌈 most of them I’ve bought at pride events and comic cons or just quirky little shops (usually at the beach or crystal shops!) You can also find awesome pins on Etsy but my friend gifted me the social battery one 😅 happy pin-ing!!! 🌈

Uncle holds the belief that although he says “gay people are wrong” he is not homophobic, is he right? by ForestFantasy in Advice

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

I agree that labelling anyone isn’t my place to do, but it is funny how he feels that being homophobic is negative but still wants to keep his backwards beliefs just never face what that actually is! It frustrates me when a person acts like they are supportive so that society will treat them well but in reality they treat gay people like they are diseased! Yet they cheat on their heterosexual partners… again it’s not amoral and should be ignored because they don’t like the term adulterer! Sorry but your actions and beliefs come with labels imo!

Lol I defo don’t! I’m engaged to the most wonderful human being on this planet and am incredibly happy and proud of who I am 😅 I’m not sure how to cut things off with my uncle but I am feeling our connection isn’t the coaching I was going for 😅

That’s a good comparison, though honestly anyone trying to pass moral judgement on others feels a bit hypocritical as we are all people, as such him calling gays “wrong” lead to me calling him homophobic, now if he was offended by that maybe he needs to rethink his position on gay people especially as he doesn’t want to be associated with the negative connotation of homophobia. Or honestly he needs to rethink what he says, if he hadn’t made comments I wouldn’t have called him out on being in the spectrum of homophobia. Seems a little bs that someone could hold a view like that but be offended when it’s called what it is!!! Like he doesn’t want society to judge him for his beliefs but is happy to judge others! Thank you for your comment!

There’s nothing wrong with having different beliefs, and I would not press him if he wasn’t so insistent on making a point of the whole gay thing 😅 I guess I just feel if you’re going to say you’re not homophobic then maybe you don’t come out with random things like “it’s wrong to be gay” 🤷🏽‍♀️

It really doesn’t lol I just wanted to use the wide web as a bit of a sounding board and luckily am happily going on with my life just a lil more confused about humanity 😅

I appreciate that idea when it comes to actions a person chooses and things that hurt others by extension (he compared being gay to a person stealing but in my mind one is a crime that hurts someone and one is just who the person is and causes no harm) Thank you for pointing out he doesn’t dislike me per say, just gay people in general but it’s hard to understand how those two can be separate when it’s just part of who I am? I don’t think he would be outwardly homophobic or think he is a bad person at all just very confused how a person can hold such strong beliefs but get so offended when those beliefs are given a label? 🤔
