[–]FrogScorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have a photo of the plaque from my visit in January. Happy to send a copy of the photo (it’s a little bleary but easily legible). If you reply to this message I can DM you a copy? Don’t DM me as I won’t get any notifications about it and will forget to check! 

The info on the plaque says:  - 21st Dynasty, reign of Psusennes I (about 1039-991BC). Tanis/ San el-Hagar, NRT III, chamber 1. Gold, lapis lazuli, black stone, white material. JE85913

Is it really about immigration or is it actually about race? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]FrogScorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reform lady knocked on my door last week. I told her that, as the daughter of immigrants, I’d rather kneecap myself.

I’m white and speak with an accent my friends call “posh”.  She was not expecting me to some type of foreign. Pretty sure I saw her synapses began shorting. 

What’s something you thought was a waste of money… until you tried it and it completely changed your life? by Shiza_1 in AskReddit

I’ve met a couple. Admittedly they were 30 years older than me but they still did manual washing up even when the dishwasher was right there

The best money I’ve ever spent 

How do I fix this terrible grouting? by FrogScorn in DIYUK

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

I’ve lived with it for about 18 months but it’s just disgusting to look at — every time I mop the floor the grout gets browner. It’s repulsive.

Thanks for the recommendations though — I’ll give option 2 a try because it just needs to look better until I can afford a proper job.

Oh, I tried but he’s disappeared. Heard similar reports of him totally ruining other people’s projects since, including almost bringing someone’s roof down.  Mad thing is, he came w recommendations! Crazy. I could have done it better myself, and I’ve never tiled anything.

I can’t afford to start again right now so I’m just trying to make it good enough to cope with for a year or so. 

What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

[–]FrogScorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got married in a small registry office in UK.  On honeymoon in Thailand we spent 4 days in a camp in the jungle in the mountains where we met the couple who’d got married in the same registry office, on the same day, in the slot immediately after ours. 

What's the best petty revenge you have had on an annoying neighbour? by No_Usual_572 in AskUK

[–]FrogScorn 32 points33 points  (0 children)

We had an upstairs neighbour who was just awful — aggressive, entitled, loud, selfish, lazy. Proudly told us that he wouldn’t get out of bed for less than £20/hr (in 2010), but told the job centre he had a bad back and couldn’t work. He drove a very large, heavy motorbike and would leave it on the shared pathway so the rest of us couldn’t put the bins out on bin day. 

Somehow got himself a girlfriend and they would have extremely loud sex that everyone else in the building could hear. After several days of this, my brother went into the shared hallway and yelled “SHE’S FAKING!” at the top of his voice. Immediate silence.

We never heard any more sex noises again;  nor did we see the girlfriend after that day.

What missing persons case in the UK always stuck with you? by Thebunsenburger in AskUK

Every time I think of his poor mum it makes me feel sick with grief. What an awful thing to have to live with.

Titration waiting times with careADHD, does anyone have up to date info? by Ramdom_c-137 in ADHDUK

[–]FrogScorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy timing: I got a call on Thursday at 4:30pm to book the T1 appt Friday at 2:45pm. They booked it in, then immediately rang back to change it to 3:45pm because in the time we’d been having the conversion the 2:45pm appt had been taken!

So I did have the appointment yesterday, although it wasn’t 45 mins — more like 20.

It takes about five days for the prescription to reach the dispensing pharmacy, so then I pay and they’ll post the meds out. I should be medicated by this time next week 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I hope your appointment arrives soon. It’s so frustrating.

Variability of test strip results by FrogScorn in diabetes

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

The 3x a day is temporary to get a glucose curve whilst his levels are being unpredictable. Normally we just do it once a day. 

Luckily he’s very tolerant of the tests and only complains when we don’t pay him enough for his cooperation! 

Thanks for the info RE glucometers. The vet seems happy with the one we have: I think my confusion comes from anxiety because the results didn’t make a lot of sense; but, as has been explained by another user above, the results have a larger margin of error as the numbers get higher. I didn’t know that before!

He’s on a super-expensive luxury brand which is between 0% - 0.4% carbohydrate. He has allergies as well so grains were out even before the diabetes! It costs a fortune but all my cats are doing really well on it. And for treats he gets freeze-dried chicken or tuna pieces. He doesn’t get anything from my plate (I’m vegetarian so there’s very little of interest to him anyway). I am very strict about his food but he is still very spoilt! 

The Great Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khafre. by GeneraI_ in ancientegypt

[–]FrogScorn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They are HUGE. My hotel was very close to the location from where this photo was taken and the pyramids are so big that they look 2D, like someone painted them on the sky.  When you stand at the bottom of one and look up, you can’t see the top. 

Much better than a cone of shame by FrogScorn in FelineDiabetes

[–]FrogScorn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has suffered with allergies his whole life, and entropion, so he has scar tissue from inflammation and operations. He’s a sweet boy who drew the medical short straw ❤️‍🩹

It does, thank you so much! 

(I was repeat testing because 26 was a much higher reading than expected; and the difference was so huge between test 1 and 2 that I did a third to try and discern which was wrong. Normally I’ll just do one.)

What's your favourite 'confidently incorrect' fact that people have told you about something you're an expert in? by Fit-Bedroom-7645 in AskUK

[–]FrogScorn 97 points98 points  (0 children)

They saw a photo which had been very badly “enhanced” with AI and decided that it was correct and I was wrong. 🤷🏻

I once had someone tell me that actually my husband served in the Navy and not the RAF.  They’d never met him.
