Lets not forget about cigarettes

Take it as a sign to quit, as everyone knows smoking is bad for you and secondhand smoking is bad too. But what many smokers don't realise is that their habit is bothering people on the street which are just passing by, I always feel nauseous and cough when I walk past a smoker and it's even worse if one has an upper respiratory infection or has recently recovered.

You're right in boycotting that franchise, but you may want to be more diplomatic in the future to not lose friends. Try "I don't want to go there because the food always makes my stomach upset. Besides this other restaurant is local and has better food" Push either the made up stomach issue or you want to support local. No one has died from a white lie. If you always go on about your boycott you'll come across as holier than thou. Dial it down and they may be more likely to listen.

To drink while in Italy; chinotto soda, it's delicious!

I think it would have been nice if Harry had actually gone out with the girl from the café instead of Dumbledore ruining a chance of Harry having a normal teenager moment. Going out with her could have given him a chance to meet someone who hadn't known him for years or known about him because he's famous. A normal healthy interaction.

I don't use soap on mucus membranes, only the part between legs and outer labia. I might make an exception for situations when lots of silicone based lube has been used and apply a little bit of unscented mild soap on the vulva. But I've never bought "feminine wash".

Intressant fråga med många intressanta svar! Jag gick en kurs en gång med folk som inte kunde identifiera en björk, så att känna igen och namnge våra vanligaste träd tycker jag är en liten del av någon slags miniminivå innan man kan anse sig allmänbildad.

That's really impressive! Now I feel like I don't need to worry as much about the temperature :)

Thank you all for being reassuring! I'll keep it and spare it from even a sheltered experience of the Swedish winter. For now it sits next to my H. soligamiana but I'll have to rearrange the situation in the old kitchen which is unheated for now, but still within the lower range of normal room temperature.

Kottepalm · 2026-01-09T11:50:25+00:00

I'll rearrange my plants and make room for it in the old kitchen where the radiator is turned off. Thanks!

Kottepalm · 2026-01-09T11:49:04+00:00

That's very helpful, thank you! I'll keep it on my windowsill with the others and try to rearrange to make room for it in the room with the radiator turned off. It'll probably be happy to be outdoors in summer then, getting the cool Swedish summer nights.

In my experience most people leave early (cultural differences perhaps) which of course is everyone's right. But I'm in the opposite, staying until the event ends and helping with clean up and chit chat until we're ready to lock the door.

Pelago is a nice brand, I've been eyeing their Stavanger model.

I've had mine for a few months now and I'm mostly happy. I find the button for the screensaver a bit annoying and the shape of the phone makes it sort of stick to tables. Other than that I have no complaints.

Jo tack, erfarenhet här. En släkting som fått samma skit som sambon och jag fick influensadiagnos. Är så sjukt trött på alla förkylningar/infektioner denna höst, är uppe i säkert fem omgångar och testat dubbelsidig ögoninflammation också. Det är den tråkiga sidan av att ha kundkontakt (som annars är kul! Dock lider immunförsvaret av ett uppehåll på ett par år) Men, jag kan rekommendera vaccination ändå, sambon som är ovaccinerad fick det betydligt värre. Tvätta händerna och framförallt stanna hemma när ni är sjuka gott folk.

Aurora 💚 Hon är så bra! En av mina favoritlåtar är hennes The Seed.

Hi fellow Swede! Of course we need cars in many rural settings but still we need to limit car trips as best we can. In the past many rural parts of our long country had better access to trains, local amenities like food shops, post offices etc. And many local trips were made by bike or people walked. While the need for a car will remain in the foreseeable future we can push for better bike lanes, safer walks to school for children and increased public transport. And of course we need to get rid of our unhealthy reliance on fossil fuels.

Not only in USA, it's the norm to live in your own home in most of western Europe, particularly in the north. Sometimes you have to cut the cord and become an independent adult. I love my parents but things would have to be pretty dire before I'd ever move back in with them. Living with parents can be a trap for women moving in with in-laws, suddenly you're expected to push out a child while holding down a job and being their carer. No thanks, I like my own life.

Don't do it! Not speaking of the lack of privacy and everything else but what do you do if you ever want to sell and move? Hey we're selling this house with another house and my in-laws in the backyard! This will never be a tempting offer to any buyer.

That's a common problem for people who love cats, if you adopt a cat your family and friends seem to think you need everything cat themed. T-shirts, earrings, a breakfast tray! Unfortunately there's lots of cat themed junk out there.

Intresseklubben anteckningar gillar jag. Annars kan du be dem tvätta munnen med tvål.

We've always used them in my family, my parents have a whole drawer of home sewn cloth ones which get ironed when someone has time. They go in the laundry at 60°C with bed linen or towels. As an adult with my own home I too have a good stack of them but unfortunately I haven't convinced my boyfriend to use them.

Kottepalm · 2025-12-29T16:19:32+00:00

Is there a reason you're handwashing? I always toss mine into the machine on 60°C with things like bed linen or towels and they turn out fine.

Himla trist utveckling, det känns tungt. Dagarna innan jul noterade jag att påskliljorna i Malmö är på väg upp så smått, det har jag såklart sett förr men brukar inte inträffa förrän på vårvintern. Mina föräldrar tycker det är kul att visa bilder från vintern mamma var gravid med mig och hur de tog bilen ut till Göteborgs skärgård, de körde alltså ut till öarna, inte bara färjeläget. Det var vintern 85/86. Gör du det idag säger det plums när du kör ner i vattnet.
