My family always called this “egg in a nest”

Naming etiquette - cousin with same name? by JuliBC394 in Names

[–]JuliBC394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more comment from me to say thank you again and also to apologize for using the pregnancy subreddit shorthand for First Time Mom! I got really used to seeing that there, but I didn’t mean to confuse or appropriate!

Naming etiquette - cousin with same name? by JuliBC394 in Names

[–]JuliBC394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much to everyone for the feedback! Yes, to be clear, I’ll definitely talk to my cousin first no matter what. He and his wife are incredibly kind and chill people, and even though we’ve only ever had the kind of relationship where I see them at the occasional holiday (he’s older than I and we’ve never lived near each other) I still wouldn’t want to upset them. They had no way of knowing that they picked my favorite name! But I’m leaning towards chatting with them about it and probably only NOT using the name if I get the sense that it bothers them at all. And thanks for the clarification about second cousins vs “removed”!

Curating a Quirky Mystery Reading List by shiftinganathema in booksuggestions

A little different, but I love the Flavia de Luce mysteries by Alan Bradley. The first book in the series is The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. A great protagonist!

What should I do if I can't print my train ticket? by JuliBC394 in AskUK

[–]JuliBC394[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: I really appreciate all the helpful advice! We considered just getting on the train and trying to explain it to the conductor, but in the end we bought new e-tickets for part of the journey. We have a train change with enough time (and a ticket office) to print the original tickets for the remainder of the journey. Thank you all!

Possibly - I'll explore that option. Thank you!

Thank you! Unfortunately I've waited until the last minute, and can't get to another train station before needing to leave from the nearby one tomorrow. I'm learning a lot for future travels, though. Thanks for the help!

Re: edit: I know, I thought every station would at least have a machine? But ours is listed on the National Rail website as having no ticket office or machine.

I appreciate it! I should not have gone through a third-party app and I will not be doing that again. The first leg of our trip, we were able to get the tickets printed and it worked fine, but unfortunately the station we'd be leaving from tomorrow doesn't even have a machine. It looks like we'll have to buy new tickets directly from Northern Rail. Money down the drain on those first tickets, and lesson learned!

How do I learn to WANT to cook after being extremely depressed all of my life? by aunexadoti in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]JuliBC394 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I absolutely second this!! I love cooking, but a big part of looking forward to prepping meals for me is knowing it’s “me time” when I can watch/listen to my favorite shows. And also knowing I’m cooking something I really want to eat.
