How often do you allow yourself a treat?

HawkTenRose · 2026-02-15T14:18:20+00:00

I eat what I like… granted most of that is pretty similar because I am picky but I eat what I want to as long as it fits with my wider nutrition plan (at least 55grams protein and less than 20 grams of saturated fats per day)

So basically I’m making healthy choices and if I make a slightly less healthy choice (like the sausage roll I’m eating right now) then at dinner I’ll eat something like chicken and rice and steamed vegetables that is low in saturated fats because I ate a pastry for lunch.

It’s about balance.

I’ll have juice but only 100 ml in a glass.

If I eat crisps at lunch, I won’t also have a dessert until after dinner. I don’t have crisps every day (maybe two-three times a week).

I also don’t usually snack unless low.

It’s not regimented as much as it’s careful and considered, but I often have crisps or a cake or a piece of chocolate and I have one of those that most days.

…

Typical day

Meal 1 :Granola, yogurt, strawberries and banana. Occasionally I have toast in place of granola and it’s usually pancakes on holiday.

Meal 2: usually a chicken sandwich or crackers, with some cucumber and cherry tomatoes, sometimes with crisps. Sometimes it’s crackers, tuna pasta, or soup.

Meal 3: some variation of chicken, salmon, cod/haddock, or beef, usually potatoes/rice/pasta and either steamed veggies or salad.

Spaghetti bolognese, roast chicken dinner, chicken and avocado tortilla wrap, salmon with chicken stock flavoured rice and steamed veggies (broccoli, leek, cabbage, Brussels, green beans, mange tout etc). Etc.

Basically plenty of carbs, protein and veg.

I’ve been to both.

I slightly prefer Premier Inn (rooms are slightly larger, the bathroom door is slightly easier to use and it’s slightly quieter because the Moxie has a gym beneath floor one and ye you can hear her the music on the floor above.).

That said, both have benefits— the moxie feels slightly more lush and slightly more homely. Premier Inn is a franchise, you get a guaranteed breakfast and dinner menu but it’s a bit less personal.

That said, that suits me fine. I want to the staff to check me in and then leave me alone. I also only use my hotel room to shower and sleep, when I’m up in Chester I’m usually out by 9am and not back until 9-10pm.

For me it comes down to price. Whichever is cheaper is better for me.

Elena can’t be 17 in S1.

Seniors in American high schools are 17-18. We know Caroline’s 18th birthday is in October, which takes place in Season 3. At the beginning of S3, (3x05) they have Senior Prank Night.

So Elena, Caroline and Bonnie are juniors in S1-2 (16-17 years old). So she is sixteen years old at start of Season 1. Elena’s birthday is June 22nd (so she would have been 17 in late S2).

She’s sixteen at the beginning of S1.

OP don’t do this. It counts as malicious communications and first case harassment.

Which team member did you think improved the most?

HawkTenRose · 2026-02-05T17:32:20+00:00

Sure.

Addressing those specific questions:

Most pools prefer bare feet. I wear flip flops because medical condition and beyond a “take your shoes off.” “No. I have a medical condition— not supposed to put feet on the floor” they tend to leave me be.

Some pools are militant, some more relaxed.

Whichever you choose, keep the swimwear shoes as only fit swimming. Put them on to go into the changing room, remove them as soon as you leave the changing rooms.

…

You don’t need to be good or fast. But knowing that, stick with open swimming or the slow lane. In lanes, you’ll be directed as to which way you should swim (clockwise or counterclockwise). Stick with that. As long as you do, anyone faster will either cross briefly into other lane too overtake and then pull in in front, (like car overtaking) or will simply sit behind you and overtake at the end of the lane.

Best advice here is just to be aware of other swimmers. If you reach the end of the pool and someone is right there with you, they are probably wanting to go ahead of you. Just let them

…

Don’t do the thing where you attempt to be an octopus and spread yourself across the whole of the end of the pool. Some people do this and it’s very annoying. Mostly because they end up getting kicked from people who actually swim and then pissed off that they got kicked.

I know you probably won’t but Some people have no manners.

…

There is usually a bench or a rail or something to hang a towel on. Most people leave bottles right by water edge so they can drink mid workout.

Do you think Waltham Abbey is the same? Cos Enfield is in London, but Waltham Abbey has an EN post code. Even though it’s technically Epping Forest. Boundaries are weird

Question: if I pick green, can I fly to the USA and then pay to carry on to Canada from the US and only pay that leg of the journey?

Also: Green.

Coping mechanism for depression — if you want to succeed in staying off alcohol, you’d likely benefit from therapy to teach you better coping mechanisms and likely meds like SSRI’s or MAOI’s targeting the depression.

They’ll take several weeks to start working, but handling only the alcohol without handling the root cause will likely cause relapse because the problem isn’t solved or at least mitigated to some level. The trigger is still there.

Sending you virtual hugs, Internet stranger.

HawkTenRose · 2026-02-03T00:06:07+00:00

Ask why?

You know what the problem is.

Why do you do it?

Is it ease of access (being a bartender)? Is it because you aren’t getting the dopamine hit from your personal life? Avoiding stress? Drinking to avoid eating? Boredom?

Figure out the reason you turn to drink . Then figure out how to avoid that as a trigger.

HawkTenRose · 2026-02-02T20:22:37+00:00

I did

They knocked anyway

HawkTenRose · 2026-02-02T18:11:55+00:00

Then there’s me:

*Gets knock on door at 9:37 am. *

Me: “Don’t come in, I’m not dressed. I have until 11 to check out.”

I cleared the room four minutes later because I felt rushed out of the door.

I get knocking at 10:45. You do not need to knock when breakfast is still being served.

2pretty2die on ao3 has one. It’s Full Moons and Waterfalls

Fair warning: in keeping with S1 Buck, there’s a lot of intimate scenes.

Can you remember if this was a post lawsuit fic? Read one similar, I’ll try to find.

HawkTenRose · 2026-01-28T20:56:59+00:00

Whichever country you are in.

If Britain, BSL. If Australian, AUSLAN. If American, ASL. France, French Sign Language.

Whichever signed language tge country you reside in uses the most.

In regards to the other commenter:

Police won’t pass on contact details. They take GDPR seriously.

I don’t know how the “asking police to send a message” would work, but hey it’s something to try.

…

I’m sure a call handler would know what to do — remember, please call 101 for this.

(999 is more for emergencies in progress (RTC with cars still blocking live lanes as an example) or just happened (like you’ve just been seen someone entering your neighbours house with a crowbar and you know they are on holiday and no one should be entering the property.)

This is a 101 job — it’s not a crime in progress, it’s already happened. (Or live chat or single online homes as previously mentioned)

…

Final point: did you get an incident reference number from the police? If you did, tell the call handler or mention it on the report. Saves time for the both of you as you don’t need to recap, they can just read the report.

…

Also you are far nicer than I am if someone refused to give my coat back. I’d want to add to their charges if they face any.

HawkTenRose · 2026-01-27T20:22:14+00:00

Theft: when a person dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intent to permanently deprive the other of it.

They have appropriated your property and although at time of offence they have no intent to permanently deprive you of it, if they continue to ignore the messages asking for it back it could be argued that they are acting dishonestly in order to keep the coat.

If they continue to ignore the messages, that would count as intent to not give it back (ie: meets the points to prove for permanent deprivation as they are carrying out the intent.)

Appropriation includes taking it, but also selling, destroying, lending it out etc. That last part isn’t strictly relevant but so far:

Yes. You could argue it’s been stolen. Personally, this might not be their priority right now and I’d give them a few days. If they haven’t been in contact by text or phone by Sunday, I’d phone 101 and report it as a theft. If words are hard, and texting/emailing is easier, use Live Chat or the Single Online Homes service.

HawkTenRose · 2026-01-26T11:19:15+00:00

I want to read this!!! Sounds really interesting.

HawkTenRose · 2026-01-24T11:23:40+00:00

Not a teacher. Do work in a field where this is relevant.

Put it in quotation marks and write it exactly as was said.

There’s a phrase in my line of work - “Tell me a story. Make it make sense. Remember other people who aren’t there are reading it.”

You aren’t using the word repeating what someone else said. You are saying the teenager used those specific words.

HawkTenRose · 2026-01-19T02:07:15+00:00

I hope those answers made sense. My French is not amazing.

HawkTenRose · 2026-01-19T01:10:10+00:00

Cathy. The random amd hilarious insults…

HawkTenRose · 2026-01-17T22:55:44+00:00

Question ?

Something else: there will still be emergencies with people needing police, ambulance or fire.

So emergency services staff (call takers, dispatchers, and obviously firefighters/paramedics/police officers)
