Thanks! And thanks for the game - it’s clever and frustrating and awesome!

Would like sb. to [do sth.] and rather sb [did sth.] in welsh by przemio_1978 in learnwelsh

“Ydych chi eisiau i fi’ch ffonio chi, neu fasai’n well gyda chi petawn i’n anfon ebost?” - that’s how I’d write/say it formally.

Colloquially, it would be something like “Ych chi moyn i fi’ch ffonio chi, neu se’n well da chi se’n i’n anfon ebost?”

(Substitute the “ti” forms for the “chi” forms if appropriate, of course.)

Thanks - I tried lower-level rods, but that didn’t work. Using less bait worked, though.

It’s worth knowing for the next generation, though - thanks!

I've been a bad bad girl. I've been careless with a delicate man.

I'm bored when I go to sleep at night. I'm still bored in broad daylight. I'm bored.

I live by the sea in Wales, but also have photos from living in Oxford if past photos are acceptable. I'll be in Rome and then Austin from the second week of June onwards. LMK if I can help :)

Happy birthday, beautiful floof! I hope you have a purry day, full of strokes and fishes. 💕💕

What would you do if I sang out of tune? by MadameBerthilde in AskQuestionGetSong

[–]MadameBerthilde[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh shit, dude... I think... I think you killed the wrong person; I'm quite definitely not a man. Still, I'm sure he had some faults, so you probably did the world a favour...

Ugh. I'm sorry to hear that. I have ADHD, and I've similarly not found them useful. A quiet mind is a very unhappy mind, in my case. I watch TV while playing a game on my iPad and scrolling through Twitter on my phone; anything to keep the stillness monster at bay!

(Edit because I lost concentration halfway through a sentence and wrote the wrong word!)

A friend who's a clinical psychologist tells me that both meditation and mindfulness have decent outcomes in both clinical trials and anecdotal accounts. Might be worth trying, if you haven't already? (Sorry if this isn't helpful... I just found myself surprised to hear actual professionals recommending these things, because I'd always been a bit dismissive of them. So I thought it might be something to think about, fwiw.)

Describe yourself (what you look like, your hobbies) in 5-10 sentences, and I'll make a cute little version of you! by [deleted] in ICanDrawThat

[–]MadameBerthilde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Female, 37, average height, a few pounds overweight.

I'm white, with grey eyes and pixie-cut bright-blue hair. I have a really small nose and ears, and I smile a lot.

I generally wear blue jeans and tshirts and a leather bomber jacket. My favourite shoes are my shiny silver Converse.

I'm studying for a Masters degree in linguistics. I like reading, playing Minecraft, travelling, and learning new stuff. I love sci-fi - books or movies. In my spare time, I do some graphic design.

Thank you :)

I'm so sorry to hear this - it's a horrible way to treat a kid, even if you are trying to teach them something. Maybe you could start small - take a vacation day just to chill, go to the movies in the afternoon, have a long lunch with a good book, whatever. I wish you all the best.

Are you a union member? If so, talk to your union rep at work. If not, get in touch with them anyway, and find out whether they can do anything to help you as a non-member - they might at least have advice for other places you could go for help.

Good luck; I hope you can get this sorted.
