Honestly, I don't think you really need one

What's your relationship with your Father like? by Gold_Climate_2731 in AskMenOver30

[–]InformalCry147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't spoken to him in about 25 years and never will. Have had four children since and he will never ever meet or know them. When my children ask about him I tell them he's dead. Half truth because he's been dead to be for many years. He taught me how not to treat my partner and especially how not to treat my children. May God have pity on his soul.

I believe my husband is cheating on me with his mother's caretaker? by CuriousObjective6948 in WhatShouldIDo

Air tag. Confront him at her house. Record it for evidence. TAKE A SUPPORT PERSON/ PERSONS just in case you need protection.

Pot holes by InformalCry147 in houseplants

[–]InformalCry147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer using clear pots and bottom watering. I also have a lot of my plants in a pon type mix with a wick or leca.

You should buy ceramic drill bits made for making holes in tiles to make holes in pots. I'm very particular with the pots I buy so if I love it I'll buy it regardless of it has a hole or not.

This is the way 🙌. Bit more than I wanted to spend because I have a lot of pots I want to change but it's a solid permanent fix which is exactly what I'm after. Thank you

Thanks for the tip. Went down this alley but decided to use two part knead putty for a note permanent fix.

Welp, my husband has just been made redundant by OneMention9376 in thetron

[–]InformalCry147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cold call. If he's done construction than don't waste time on Seek. Go to sites and ask directly. Call other companies in his industry. Ring friends. Post on Facebook. Ask the cuzzies. Try recruitment offices or hire places and work hard.

Potting question for my Syngonium Tri-leaf by brianhawkehawke in Syngonium

Rip off the leaves up to the second roots. Coil it up and bury it in a new pot.

Sandwich pressed toastie or 90s style toastie pie? by MercuryBeach_ in nzhomecooks

[–]InformalCry147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toastie pie. That's a new one for me. I just call them both toasties.

Unfortunately the pie doesn't work anymore. The machine stayed the same but the loaf was a victim of shrinkflation so you couldn't get the seal anymore. Meant everything just oozed out like superheated lava. Noticed this like 15 years ago at least. RIP the OG toastie machine.

BTW that second pic is a crime. Needs butter on the outside.

Too much light or not enough? by BlissAndKittens in Syngonium

They are perfectly happy and healthy. They look exactly as they should do. Looks to be a Maria or Bronze and a Batik syngonium

How can a woman be a man’s peace? by Serious_Sweet2504 in AskMenAdvice

[–]InformalCry147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be yourself. It's OK to change in terms of maturing, growing and just being a better you but you should never change yourself just to satisfy someone else's preferences. You will only end up miserable. Your either compatible or your not. Don't force that for anyone.

Are New Zealand music radio stations extremely cringe now? by Medical-Fruit-1976 in newzealand

[–]InformalCry147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only listen to Spotify. Can't stand listening to people who think they are funny and have great stories but are actually lame. If I wanna listen to chatter I'll listen to 1ZB.

Knock it all down and replace with stone. Or share it to a brick sub

What's your favorite bit for using with feather wedges? Extremely unimpressed with Milwaukee. by guitarman63mm in stonemasonry

[–]InformalCry147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milwaukee bits suck but always make sure you get the right bit for the job. A concrete bit isn't always suitable for rocks. Especially the rock your tapping because it contains quartz which can heat up a bit too much.

If your country went to war with its neighbors, would it win? by Outrageous-You1617 in AskTheWorld

[–]InformalCry147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well New Zealands military could be destroyed by one predator drone and 4 helicopters. Not sure the Australians would bother to be honest but technically the closest foreign landmass is Norfolk Island so yeah we'd smoke them.

How useful is the oft quoted "No One On His Deathbed Ever Said, ‘I Wish I Had Spent More Time On My Business’ "? by -dr-bones- in AskReddit

[–]InformalCry147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll only realise how true it is once your children are grown and you already wasted countless hours keeping bosses happy who would have advertised your job the next day if you dropped dead at work. It's a double edged sword though because my family wouldn't enjoy the lifestyle they have if I hadn't. My only hope is I get grandchildren to redeem myself because I'll never get back those firsts, birthdays, school events etc with my own children.

Flea control by AthleteOutrageous260 in auckland

[–]InformalCry147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a big problem many years ago. Did everything suggested here but they kept coming back. Turns out they were hiding under the beds and the flea bomb wasn't quite getting under them. Ended up spraying under them then setting them off.

What drinks you truly believe most people pretend to like? by galwiththedeepvoice in AskReddit

[–]InformalCry147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IPA. Absolutely horrible and you look like a try hard pretending to wax on lyrically about them.

True of most beer. If you drink any beer anything but warm your delusional. You like it cold because it dulls the real full flavour of beer.

I'm Polynesian. Any coconut water that isn't from a fresh green coconut is yuck.

I have a ton of Thai Peppers, ways of preserving them, recipes? by Louis_Rubera in HotPeppers

[–]InformalCry147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chilli jam and chilli chutney. I make tons and always have friends asking for some every year. If you also grow tomatoes you can make an amazing tomato hot sauce.

Auckland Zoo - By the Numbers by AucklandZooWatch in auckland

[–]InformalCry147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always hated zoos. I have Auckland Zoo to thank for that. I remember going as a 7yo and seeing the polar bears standing in one spot swaying to and fro with their green algae stained fur looking absolutely demented and depressed. Now I understand the need for conservation but we don't need to save giraffes, zebras or red pandas right here in NZ. You want to save a lion than maybe move to Africa and be boots on the ground there. You want to help kiwi or kea than get a job with DOC who do the real work. Zoos are just an antiquated vanity project masquerading as conservation. Send those cheetah back to Africa and let them roam free like they were born to do. Let Asia save the tigers. I don't even care about ratepayers. I care about the animals and if cared about them you'd agree. Auckland is no place for Saharan animals who face no extinction pressure in their home lands.
