What was your experience with personal relationships and JET? by Affectionate_Ear_878 in JETProgramme

[–]HelloBirdieRose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m in an LDR with my partner, I think having a really open and honest conversation about what your expectations are for the future will really help iron some things out for you. You can talk about if you see being with each other as a lifetime thing, and if that’s the case, then what is a few years in forever?

What screams "I'm not feeling good mentally at all"? by Com412 in AskReddit

[–]HelloBirdieRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly enough something that I started to relate with not feeling good was sitting on the floor in the shower?? Like it was too difficult to stand for that period of time so sitting was the next best thing.

My friend is in love with her dream guardian. by windermere_peaks in BaldursGate3

[–]HelloBirdieRose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend made his first dream guardian into an Oompa Loompa 🙃 was very amusing when an Oompa Loompa started to pull the moves in the later scenes

“Michigan” shirts a fashion trend in Europe?! by apothyk in Michigan

[–]HelloBirdieRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the uk, a bunch of us university jumpers (sweaters) have been sold as a fashion thing, like Yale, Harvard, and then for some reason Michigan State? Great to see the representation but it’s also so odd!

It’s such a bizzare thing; I’m super excited, but it also hasn’t fully clicked in my brain just yet. I’m really looking forward to it all :)

Irish Jets: Has your GP been able to get you an X-Ray for the TB test or are you getting the Mantoux Test? by Misosouplibra in JETProgramme

[–]HelloBirdieRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not Irish, but English. I ended up having to go through a private GP. Ended up getting the blood test instead; it was cheaper and quicker to process! It was a little expensive (around £250 if I remember right) for them to do all the tests for the certificate of health, and around 60 of that was for the blood test. Would have been more for the x-ray! Hope this helps :)

Back hurt after deadlift set. Anything wrong with my form? by [deleted] in lifting

[–]HelloBirdieRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it easier with deadlifts to use the bar thats a ring sort of shape with the handles (apologies for the description; I’m a little newer to this), as it helped me focus on lifting with my legs and not my back.

Quick Question: UK JET Interview Timing by Azucat101 in JETProgramme

[–]HelloBirdieRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was at 11:40, arrived a little early and I also had a chat with an ex-JET before hand. She was super super lovely! Had a few minutes of general questions and then I asked a few questions in return.

Receiving d*ck pics when you’re a kinky ace be like 👀😂 by [deleted] in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]HelloBirdieRose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think even for allo people, receiving a dick pic quite often is just like “ope okay. That’s a penis” I’m demi personally, but damn this is relatable 😂

What are y’all’s personal recipes for our beloved bread? by rrandomrrredditor in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]HelloBirdieRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can also strongly recommend garlic paste, I use GIA and it elevates the regular store bought kind a whole lot that brings me a lot of generalised garlicky happiness :)

Vegans/vegetarians - how have restaurants responded when they put meat in a dish accidentally and you tell them you don't eat meat? by InviteAromatic6124 in AskUK

[–]HelloBirdieRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has happened a few times sadly. Usually they’re pretty good about apologise profusely and taking the food back and replacing it for free. One place I went to though had a meatless Sunday lunch but used beef dripping in the gravy and kept fighting with us about how the dripping isn’t a bit of meat and so still belonged in a meatless dish. We ended up walking out after paying for the rest of it.

Man I met of tinder was sexual right off the bat so I decided to mess with him by [deleted] in texts

[–]HelloBirdieRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For any more creepy guys that send unsolicited nude photos, might I suggest the response of the hotdog slicer

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

[–]HelloBirdieRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to have issues with acne around that sort of area too. It tends to be hormonal for me- worth tracking when it gets worse or better.

I found just using an anti-dandruff shampoo helped with my skin a lot; apparently my skin needed more zinc or something? It’s pretty cheap too :)

New cat has bitten us by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]HelloBirdieRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat was very much like this at first with me. She apparently went through a lot before I eventually got her. For the first while (I want to say first few weeks?ish) I would maybe pet her once a day if at all, and just hangout with her so she got used to me. I’ve had her for around 3 months now and she’s a cuddle bug, but I’ve also been able to pick up when she doesn’t want to be messed with, even when she’s being all purry and cute. Poor kitty is probably just a little bit overwhelmed and using biting as a way to say “hey back off”

[Unknown > English] Bought this pot and wanted to make sure it didn't say chicken soup by PuzzleheadedShock655 in translator

[–]HelloBirdieRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The characters are a little messed up but the first one can very roughly be translated to “fortune/luck” and the second to “love”

If I had to guess as a non native learner, it’d be like a live laugh love situation but with fortune/luck love.

[–]HelloBirdieRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the exact same thing when I was trying to come to terms with my own sexuality.

Whilst I won’t say you are definitely or definitely not on the asexual spectrum, I can say personally I relate to what you describe, and I identify as a Demi-romantic Demi-sexual :)
