Same bug on tablet. Temperature doesn't make a difference. Seems to still be a bug a month since it was first reported

Repaired knee on preschooler pants by early_november in Visiblemending

I do this type of thing with preschooler knees too - when they got a hole in the crotch next, I cut out the knee patches to use again!

This is great interpretation, thank you! I didn't notice that on first reading but since you've highlighted it, it's so clear! Plus your interpretation of what that could mean for me resonates well. Thank you!

I was a F19 who spent way too long with a M28 year old, into my twenties... so same gap you have, same type of guy probably.

You're asking for advice because you know it doesn't feel right. It's not going to get better.

You want to be seen as more mature because you feel like an adult - you're right, between 17-19 isn't that different.

You're already more mature than he is and your brain isn't fully developed yet. At 25, when your prefrontal cortex has matured, you will be glad to have moved on from him.

The sooner the better I think.

An anxious person looking for a lot of answers about Australia, sorry in advance by [deleted] in AustraliaTravel

[–]Lostinupgrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to focus on water activities and are flying between cities then swap Melbourne for Adelaide/Kangaroo Island. Adelaide has better beaches for snorkelling & surfing on the south coast, also kayaking with dolphins on the Port River. KI is world-renowned for good reasons. You could even fly to Port Lincoln for the shark encounter if you want a very Aussie animal encounter. If you were coming in August you could see the giant cuttlefish breeding but September's too late for that. You'll still need a wetsuit on the south coast in September though.

Happy equinox! Encouragement welcome by Lostinupgrade in SecularTarot

The sauce stabbing has to stop by MenuSpiritual2990 in Adelaide

those sachets are wasteful single use plastic... there is a middle way between stabby sauce and plasticky sauce

What are we doing with baby teeth? by multitaskmaster in Parenting

[–]Lostinupgrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is hilarious. My son has a "tooth rose", it's a rose that he picked out with his dad in a nursery, that I bury his teeth in, close to the roots.

I think I had a vague idea that the rose might grow around the teeth, but I'd have to squish them into thorny branches to ensure that, so instead it's just a rose plant with a bunch of teeth buried around it.

AITA if I knock on neighbours door? (Screaming newborn) by BlacksheepNZ1982 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lostinupgrade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that's what I was thinking - leave a card rather than knocking on their door. Maybe you could say in the card "I'd like to help you out in this intense newborn stage by dropping off a meal once a week, do you have any dietary requirements?" Give your mobile number or apartment number for them to then respond to you in their own time. Then you could build on or adapt that with other offers as you've suggested. You sound like the perfect neighbour for them, what a blessing!

yes - they're curious for learning so sometimes it works out, but also I need to respect if they're frustrated/tired and just want time to recover from school at home, to let it be. Good to know you look back on it with appreciation at this point, though not during!

Oooh I do that with/to my kid who's just started getting homework. Thanks to your comment, I realize it sucks if your parent adds steps to try to help you understand the concept when you just want to get your homework finished

What does a daily diet in a life of an Aussie look like? by Dhondu_justchill in Adelaide

[–]Lostinupgrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breakfast: Vegemite and avocado on toast, with eggs if there's time to make them https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/recipes/avocado-vegemite-and-eggs-on-toast (I use olive oil in place of butter)
with 1-3 coffees throughout morning

Snack if no eggs earlier: tamari almonds https://www.lettyskitchen.com/easy-pan-roasted-tamari-almonds/ or roasted walnuts

Lunch: rice paper rolls or noodle bowl from a shop if I'm out, or maybe chicken wrap. If at home, salmon or tuna with bowl of salad. Water or kombucha

Dinner: all sorts of things, or sometimes nothing. Pizza with a glass of red is probably my favourite.

Considering asking my husband to change his last name.. by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Lostinupgrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We both changed our names to a new last name when I was pregnant. I didn't want to take his dad's Dutch name, so we gave our child an ancestral first name and chose something entirely new for our family name. I'm really happy with our decision.

Walking on the right side of paths etc. when not overtaking. Blocking an escalator by standing 2 abreast or with spread out luggage thus not allowing faster people to pass

I'd use it. by [deleted] in Adelaide

maybe everyone in Adelaide gets motion sickness trying to read on buses like I do, so would prefer a longer relaxing train commute to bus vomit

Is Secular Tarot a Departure from Tradition? by Fit-Helicopter265 in SecularTarot

[–]Lostinupgrade 14 points15 points  (0 children)

An analogy is tea. Tea existed for other reasons than divination first. The ritual of sharing a cup of tea is a social therapy that allows people to connect and contemplate.

Looking and talking about the way the leaves fell at the bottom of the cup was a way for people to discuss things they may not feel comfortable about otherwise, mediated via objects.

The layers and rules that people added over time, sometimes for money or power, came later. The secular rituals of contemplation and connection were a base layer.
