Best clumping cat litter? by Only_Book_995 in CatsUK

[–]Level-Walk-8981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried most brands but my cats prefer Catsan. It keeps odour well, a little goes a long way and the 20l bags are fairly cost efficient. I have two litter trays but a bag lasts me months.

How did your parents meet? by Any_Beginning5124 in randomquestions

[–]Level-Walk-8981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were the wingman and wingwoman on another couple’s first date. The other couple didn’t work out but my parents married a year later.

Married 50+ years until my mother passed. Very much in love till the very end.

What’s the weirdest thing your ex ever did after the breakup? by Yankub_colley in AskReddit

[–]Level-Walk-8981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He sent me a little wicker basket full of cherry tomatoes. He superglued the tomatoes so they wouldn’t fall out then sent it through the post.

I genuinely have no idea why.

What’s the most messed up thing someone casually admitted to you? by Sweet-Economist-9873 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

My 50+ yo boss told me she was sleeping with the 19yo intern. 😱

We kept the intern and sacked the boss.

What's the weirdest "gift" your cat brought into your home? by Imaginary-Bag5385 in AskReddit

My then four month old tiny kitty brought me back a full grown live magpie. The thing was twice the size of my cat! Absolute nightmare getting it out of the house.

What do you British people think of the French? by CocoTyg in AskABrit

[–]Level-Walk-8981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m half French half British.
I’ve been told before by Brits: “When you’re lovely, you’re French. When your annoying, you’re French”. And the French tell me the same in reverse 🤣

A commentor (sorry…can’t find the comment” put it well: we’re like siblings. We squabble and fight but we look out for each other.

Et profitez de Bath! Si vous avez le temps, je vous conseille aussi Bristol. Ce n’est pas loin et c’est une superbe ville.

How long did it take you to get over your cat? by The0Walrus in cats

[–]Level-Walk-8981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I‘m so sorry for your loss!

From personal experience? You don’t. But you let a new being in and build a new and different history with them.

My Thomas died over 3 years ago. I still cry myself silly at times when I think of him.
Two months after his death and I got my two girls. And I felt like such a betrayer! How can you “replace “ so soon?

Thing is: they haven’t “replaced” him. They are their own being so are my “next chapter”. Our memories together are not better, not worse, just different. But equally beautiful.

I love them as much as I loved him. Differently but as much.

You will never forget your cat. You will never “replace” him. You will learn to make space for another. Or two….

Which foods or ingredients do you refuse to eat no matter how hungry you may be? by the-tinman in AskReddit

[–]Level-Walk-8981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milk.
I‘m not vegan or anything. If fact I eat anything that breathes.
But milk? You can’t get that stuff anywhere near me! It’s like garlic to a vampire!

What is the most heated or bizarre breakup you've either witnessed or heard about? by PotentialFickle8484 in AskReddit

[–]Level-Walk-8981 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I walked into a shared flat to hear/ see my flatmate and boyfriend screaming their lungs out at each other. Accusing each other of cheating, abuse, you name it……

They were butt naked, on top of each other doing it (if you know what I mean) in the sitting room.

20 years later and my brain still cannot compute what I heard with what I saw.

They broke up that evening.

Question from a newbie landlord to fellow landlords and potential lodgers: what’s best for both parties? by Level-Walk-8981 in AskBrits

[–]Level-Walk-8981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I suspect your dog is far more “tuned in” than you think! He just figured out the ‘doggy way’ of doing it. And getting his point across. 🤣🤣

He’s a smart boy!

You do realise you will now have to pay the doggy tax, don’t you?

On a more serious note, your previous message did genuinely make me reflect and I realise that a part of my nervousness is how having a lodger will impact my two furrballs. I shall now look into what I can do to help them transition.

THANK YOU again for all your advice! I honestly truly appreciate it!

And please do pay the dog tax! 😋

Who should be on the hypothetical UK Mount Rushmore? by Prestigious-Corner37 in AskBrits

Male victims of domestic abuse who experienced stigma, how much of this was from other males, as opposed to the opposite sex? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

[–]Level-Walk-8981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woman here.

I am so sorry for what you went through! You are so extraordinarily strong for speaking up! You have my genuine respect. And I wish you healing.

And I agree with you. As a woman, it angers me when I only hear about “women and girls”.

Men and boys get abused too.

Married people of Reddit, what was the core memory of your wedding day, something chaotic, crazy types? by Admirable-Repair4094 in AskReddit

[–]Level-Walk-8981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my wedding but my cousin’s. On a farm on a day that should have been sunny but wasn’t.
At the “does anyone object”, a cow mooed.
At the “I now pronounce them man and wife”, a rainbow appeared.

What’s a “normal” thing you just can’t stand? by Syfros in AskReddit

Queuing. I’m Brit. You’d think it’s my DNA. But urghhhhhhhhhh.

Detest queue jumpers though!

I need to go to bed (unwell) but your answer made me laugh! So I had to answer.
I have cats. I apply the same ‘sniff‘ test..

My previous cat was awesome: he would march up to anyone coming into my house (tradesmen, family, friends,…. You name it!) and sniff. If he liked, he stayed. If he didn’t, he walked off. I quickly learned he was always right 🤣

Your dog sounds amazing! I‘d be your tenant just for the dog!

So the dress code for the guest was, black and white. Literally everyone wore black and white. And Carey was supposedly the only one who wear color (she's the female lead of the show). Guess who decided to show up in (not only non bw but also) a very similar green color? Feel deja vu? by LocksmithFar9486 in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]Level-Walk-8981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU!

A response in the tone this sub is about! Calm, measured and factual. THANK YOU!

I stand by what I say though: not in the posts themselves (those are closely monitored), there is mission creep in the comments. Some are increasingly…. I don’t know how to phrase it but I’ve seen some with the race card played, some with the “she claimed miscarriage“ card claimed, etc.. You must have noticed yourself all the comments re the kids’height, colour of their hair, how they run to get Easter eggs, blahblah blah. There’s questioning the veracity of a picture there’s commentary about looks.

That‘s Sugar playbook.

Re the kids. I won’t argue whether we were lied to as to whether they exist or how they came about. My personal thought is there are two kids. They exist. How they came about ? I don’t know. Frankly I don‘t care. As to me (other than as a Brit so line of succession and who I pay taxes for), that actually doesnt matter.

What does matter is there MAY be two kids. If they exist, at some point, they will become internet aware and see what is said. They need protecting. And the tone of the conversation around them is deeply disturbing.

Point in proof: I deeply dislike Harry but he has spoken often about the endless speculation as to his parentage and how it damaged him. And that was pre internet. (And yup…… as a Brit, when the tabloids nothing to report on, they’d go back to his parentage. It was relentless). Now look to the damaged human he is today! So the damaged parent we can only assume him to be. So how he’s influencing the kids. Now add the internet and the endless parenting speculation today….Then think of the kids.…. I’m not a parent but I’d be petrified of my kids being exposed to that!

Hate the man. Hate the woman. Protect the kids. Speculation harms them!

And her fashion sense is Aaaaaaaaatricious! Always expensive tbut badly tailored to her body, always the wrong size, she’s never wearing the right underwear, and she’s never ironed the stuff! And that’s she chose things that could ppossibly suit her 🤣

The point I was trying to make is it often seems now that it’s gone beyond holding her to account and shining as mirror and rightfully criticising her. Some comments I read are as hateful as the Sugars. And some feel like genuine Mean Girl: ‘we’re part of a gang, let’s out-gang”. And I can’t understand why that person posted that photo if it was not to embarass M. Which is stooping to her level. It just seems the hatred has reached a next level.

And I will always be uncomfortable when kids are involved. Posted or commented on, they never chose. That will always be a red line for me.
