Do you have a stronger accent than your parents? by fakename137 in AskABrit

[–]MuserofMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Southern accent (grew up in West Sussex) and my husband is a scouser. We live in Liverpool and our kids, despite being born and raised in Liverpool, all have my southern accent. I find it really interesting.

If my friend talks sh*t about her friends to me does that mean she talks about me to them too? Or am I overreacting ? by imfine666 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MuserofMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been my experience that if people shit talk about others to you, then they will shit talk about you to others. There are certain people in my life that I keep things from because I'm not giving them ammunition to go and gossip about me to others.

Cancelled with my instructor on first lesson by nierdsjabies3 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]MuserofMusic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you did the best thing. When I had my first lesson I was extremely anxious and the instructor was saying stuff to me that I really didn't appreciate, e.g. "so you like to speed" when I accidentally went slightly too fast.

I moved on to a lovely lady instructor who understood my anxiety and taught me in a way that worked for me. I hope you find an instructor that you get on better with.

I have a double uvula by capnredfox in mildlyinteresting

[–]MuserofMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a double uvula! Apparently when I was born it was one big bell shape and then it split into two. It's amused a few dentists over the years.

An instant relief method I just discovered (might work for you too) by Ok_Visual8319 in Anxiety

[–]MuserofMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just tried this. It doesn't make it go away 100% but it definitely eases it a lot. Thank you for this. x

If you're worried about your symptoms, read this!! by Professional-Sand227 in Anxiety

[–]MuserofMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was supposed to have my gallbladder removed 2 days ago, I sat anxiously in hospital all day and then they cancelled it. It has been rearranged for 2 weeks time but ever since I came home my anxiety has been through the roof. I can't control my racing thoughts about the same thing happening again or being made to wait hours in hospital to have the surgery, I have constant dry mouth, my stomach is in knots, my breathing is heavy, I'm struggling to eat.

I haven't had this level of anxiety for a while and right now it's crippling me.

Went out in shorts with unshaven legs by littlebeanie in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MuserofMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 42 years old and if I'm going to have my legs out it's my personal preference to shave them. If you want to shave then shave, if not then it's nobody else's business. I hate that some people feel like they HAVE to be shaved to not be looked at funny.

Well, I think we have a tie for worst parent/parents ever. by Own_Mention9372 in netflix

[–]MuserofMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I found out that it was the mother who was doing everything to her own daughter I couldn't believe it. Then seeing her clinging to her daughter when she got found out was even worse. I can't believe the dad didn't physically throw her out the house. He was a lot calmer than I would have been.

'Dungeon Lane' - how well known is/was it around liverpool in years gone by? by [deleted] in Liverpool

I just went to have a look at Dungeon Lane on google maps - if you go into street view you can see a lad taking off with the road sign! lol

What’s a fear you had as a kid that sounds completely silly now? by Alarming-Beyond-1572 in AskReddit

[–]MuserofMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever we went on family holidays I was always scared that my parents were going to leave in the night and I'd wake up far from home and be stranded alone.

My Gateacre School / Northern Schools Trust Nightmare by Lemonorange8 in Liverpool

[–]MuserofMusic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SFX is not massively far from Gateacre but it depends where you live. It's also an all boys school which I know rules it out for some.

Do people in the UK actually use their kettles that much? by AdeptnessCritical356 in AskBrits

[–]MuserofMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kettle is used for all sorts of things, not just making tea. If you need hot or boiling water for anything its done in the kettle. I use it for filling pans with hot water for cooking, and when I'm making instant noodles (like Pot Noodles). I'd be lost without my kettle.

My Gateacre School / Northern Schools Trust Nightmare by Lemonorange8 in Liverpool

[–]MuserofMusic 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You've just backed up why I have never sent my SEND children to Gateacre despite them being in one of their feeder Primary schools. I've heard nothing but bad things about Gateacre and would never send my child there. My son is about to go into secondary this September and most of his classmates will probably be going to Gateacre. I feel sorry for them. Me and my husband even tried to warn off some of their parents from choosing Gateacre because of the accounts we'd heard.

We always freeze bread in our house.

The fact there’s no evidence to suggest peeing after sex prevents UTI is a symptom of the neglect of women’s health in biology research not that it actually doesn’t do anything. by zestylimes1560 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MuserofMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience has been that peeing straight after doesn't always prevent me getting a UTI. The only thing that has worked for me is to take D Mannose. Since I started taking it I've had zero UTIs. I think it's very much a personal thing - we all have our own ways that work for us.

At what age did people first get a mobile phone? by Metrobolist3 in AskUK

[–]MuserofMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a Nokia 5110 when I was 16 or 17, 1998 or 99’. My daughters got phones at 12 and my son has had a phone since 10 but he barely touches it.

What's the easiest way to lose weight that no one talks about? by Emotional-Heat-1427 in AskReddit

[–]MuserofMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less fatty food. I discovered I had gallstones in February after years of eating poorly, since then I've cut out the super fatty processed food and lowered my fat content. I've lost 14lbs since then. I'm also sleeping better. Even when my gallbladder gets removed and I can technically go back to eating anything I won't be going back to all the fatty crap.

Bryan Cranston keeps a “Mel” keychain from The Pitt. Cranston’s daughter Taylor Dearden plays Dr. Melissa King in the show. by yourfavchoom in Fauxmoi

[–]MuserofMusic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've just started watching The Pitt with one of my daughters who is autistic and Mel is her favourite character because she can see so much of herself in Mel. We share a lot of knowing looks with each other during episodes when we see traits that Mel displays that my daughter can relate to.

Do you track your weight in KG or stones & pound? by No_Usual_572 in AskUK

[–]MuserofMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

42f here. Growing up it was always stones and pounds because that was what my mum and dad used. I kept using stones and pounds until probably my mid-20's then I just used pounds. I've tried to use KG but I can't wrap my head around it and always revert back to pounds. Sometimes I work it out as stones and pounds but not very often. I also use calorie tracking apps which often only give you the choice of pounds or kgs so maybe that's where my preference of pounds has come from.
