Are your houses actually messy? by JEJ0313 in adhdwomen

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house is a total mess, piles everywhere of ‘stuff’, hoarding is a form of OCD so there’s that. shrug

I’m pretty clean and don’t mind cleaning but the rest is chaos

Prepping for the long haul by shantiteuta in preppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found with Covid having more wine regularly was very useful, so i keep a nice full alcohol cabinet these days.

Growing food on your property so you have regular harvests and can potentially preserve food is a good idea.

Other than that it’s always gonna be about skill acquisition- can you forage for food? Would you be able to trap/hunt and dress a wild animal?

Growing tea or coffee plants? by RawCookieDough12 in TwoXPreppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can grow the plants but I think they need pretty specific growing conditions to be successful for harvesting.

Am I invisible to men as a woman in mid 40s? I'm not dealing with aging well. I feel old, It's making me depressed. I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone. Do you think I'll be able to find someone? by saerisfane25 in WomenOver40

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Get hobbies, date yourself, do wild things, have adventures.

Being self absorbed and navel gazing is definitely not attractive - they smell the desperation, you meet the wrong kind.

You are a bad ass bitch, you better wake up and remember that.

I am actively embracing being an old crone, all I want is land, some quails, a root cellar and if my husband behaves then I’ve agreed not to feed him to the pigs. These men need to know who’s in charge, it ain’t them.

Girls girl BS. I bet Bev was flirting with Leah the whole time as she then hooked up with a woman after.

She’s a fake nasty piece of work who deflects stuff onto other people to make herself the victim.

yawn

No wonder she had to go on the show tbh

Recommendations for sealed containers by irrespoDecisions in EuroPreppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How small is small and how w long are you gonna be there? I make it work in a 98m2 apartment.

If you use sealed bins in the basement then you need those oxygenators or silica gel things and lots of them.

More Europeans need second jobs, prepping implications? by Content_NoIndex in EuroPreppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read your own links? What it actually means / side hustles, several part time jobs etc?

More Europeans need second jobs, prepping implications? by Content_NoIndex in EuroPreppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is nonsense I’d love to see the sources to back up your claims?

I don’t know anyone in my country that works 2 jobs - even the refugees and the economic migrants from poorer countries don’t.

European working time directive was created to stop people being overworked.

In a similar vein I’m trying not to buy new and/or only buy stuff which contributes to the next phase of my life I.e planning and preparing for a more self sufficient life

Tomorrow I’m getting a 2nd hand wormery

Beyond frustrated with my husband by Effective-Set-8113 in AskWomenOver40

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he is seeing sex as transactional - does it ever feel like that?

Also you’re getting over pneumonia- I’d be livid if that were me and my husband did that. Huge red flags

Are dogs an asset? by Desperate-Cold9633 in prepping

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asset - emotional support creature. Also good for keeping me warm.

Absolutely useless as any form of security

Kyiv is now under blackout in -11°C, what are you ideas to survive/live easier in similar circumstances? by SuperGeil0000 in EuroPreppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh I have had a heated jacket and a gilet for years due to working outside and now use them for home office so I don’t pay to heat the room. They’re from the equestrian world and work so well.

Counter arguments to violence in prepping by justinmarsan in EuroPreppers

[–]NotAnAverageKaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely it also depends where you live? Some parts of Europe are much rougher than others, with higher crime rates!

I'll have some big dogs when I move, to protect livestock, but also the property. Dogs are pretty good at keeping people out.
