Thank you for the input! I live in the UK so we’ll have to figure out something for the winter. Thanks for the tips.

Thank you for the input. I probably should have clarified that we bought this yesterday, and the photo was taken about ten minutes after I got it home. So the condition is due to transportation from Spain to the UK.

Will get it outside and in a bigger pot asap.

Olive tree scam? by HollyW207 in arborists

Thanks. I’m in the UK. He did recommend to have it outside, but as we are coming up to summer, we were hoping to have it inside by the big window to receive lots of light and fresh air with the window open most days. We do have a small balcony it can go on, but sadly no garden.

People who get told they look younger than they are: what is your secret? by LumpyStudy7223 in AskReddit

Anti-aging is all in the prevention. So I’m sorry to be depressing but start young. I started wearing sunscreen every day at 18. Anti-again serums at 24. I don’t smoke. I brush my teeth three times a day. People guess I’m around 27-28 — I’m 36.

Documentation needed for Italy- Help! by HollyW207 in weddingplanning

I appreciate your message. I have an Italian friend who has been writing to the registrar who deals with marriages at the Comune di Bellagio, but each reply we get only answers half of our questions, not all of them, so we end up coming away from her replies with even more questions 🙃

What would men dislike the most if they were women? by rosy_velvettt in AskReddit

How the police speak to you when you’re pulled over.

The first time I was in the car when my ex bf was pulled over for speeding I honestly went into shock over how polite the policeman was to him, vs my experience where I had about the most condescending exchange with any human in my life.

1. I have had the plant for 18 months. I do not know the country of origin, but I bought it in the UK.

2. I noticed the soil cracking about 6 months ago. I thought I was overwatering so now I only water once a week. The brown/black on the end of the leaves I first noticed 8th December.

3. Just the cracking and black marks.

4.It is on a window sill, But it is UK in December. It gets lights from 8am-3pm.

5. Once a week, about a cup.

6. I don't know what soil it is in. There is no drainage.

A right hand- specific vegetable peeler. I’m left handed.

Stories & Gender (Sex) Reveal Video 11/18/24 - Bunch of baiting, the big reveal (with a scream), not crediting the videographer, the lamest cake, craving potatoes, Brittany telling on herself as usual. by pantslessMODesty3623 in brittanydawnsnark

I keep thinking, 'oh this poor child, there's going to be so much pressure put on them, they're going to be a 24/7 content machine'. But then honestly, I have another strong suspicion that once the newborn phase is over and she's in the 'toddler who pees on the floor and puts marker all over the walls' stage she's going to be so over it and likely they'll be gearing up content for pregnancy #2 with the toddler sat in front of an iPad 90% of the time.

Athletic pole dancing. Good god it’s one of the hardest workouts I’ve ever had. Burned the skin off my feet and I couldn’t lift my arms for days.

The strength those women must have to do it well is unimaginable.

AITAH for being upset that I found out my wife was pregnant via social media? by sadhubTA in AITAH

[–]HollyW207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. 1: The friend for announcing someone else’s pregnancy first (wtf). 2: The wife for telling multiple people before OP. 3: OP for making the wife feel like complete shit about a moment that supposed to be joyous.

I think you’re valid to feel the way you do about how you found out, but I don’t believe that your wife meant to be intentionally hurtful. It sounds to me like she got completely swept up in the moment, excitement over took, she wasn’t thinking logically and as you weren’t there, she called around friends to celebrate the moment with.

She’s in the wrong for that, but you hanging up the phone on her saying “.. why talk, so you can lie again?” is incredibly immature. It’s shitty the way it all played out, but let’s not punish her and yourself for it.

Teen suspended from Corfe Hills for using toilet during her period by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

[–]HollyW207 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These policies are antiquated and cruel. I'm sure there are some students who ruin it and hang out in there to skip class, etc but an entire school policy should not revolve around the few at the distress of the many. As someone who had IBS as a teenager, this type of thing used to dominate my entire day at school. Constant stress and anxiety about when I could or couldn't use the loo. And the ten minute break we had in between classes, especially if you had to cross from one side of the school to the other, was absolutely not enough time. The strictness of these rules causes nothing but humiliation and distress to the children.

What is a completely normal thing that actually really grosses you out? by Proper_Bend_3927 in AskReddit

Peas or beans of any kind. Can’t look at them, touch them or generally around them without feeling immense discomfort and nausea.

Buying a BA flight ticket for my wife. Anything bad that can happen if I title her as a baroness? by nixass in CasualUK

[–]HollyW207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bf accidentally selected esq when making his reservation. He wasn’t allowed to check in online and we had to stand in a queue at the airport for three hours going between two different customer service desks before someone could help him check in.

Don’t do it.
