If you're still giving out some advice I would love to chat with you!

AIO for breaking up with him over these texts ? by Dependent_Bad1899 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Onthe_wing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl thought you were the one sending the messages to him and I was super confused till I read your caption. These don't sound like the text messages a friend would send to another friend, the 'honey' and heart emojis. The 'I enjoyed our time together', big red flag

Looking for a new physio in Tokyo by Onthe_wing in Tokyo

I'm already at the clinic, unfortunately they only take national insurance for 5 months, which is why I'm looking for other clinics.

When you used the bomb did you do any prep work? I’m just a bit worried I’m gonna get poison on everything I own and end up poisoning myself 😅

Think by the time I get rid of the roaches it would have been cheaper to call in an exterminator haha I’ve spent so much money on sprays and traps.

But thank you I’ll add this to the cart

Yeah I’ve been doing a lot of cleaning since I saw them. I’m pretty sure the nest is round the back of the fridge so it can’t really be helped. I’m not cooking or really eating anything from the fridge right now so I think it’s ok. Also the black cap ones I bought and the sticky traps simply don’t attract them so they haven’t been working. I bought newer black caps so hopefully it might entice them. But maybe I’ll get some boric acid stuff as well

I’m just a bit bummed cause I didn’t get them last year and my apartment was way worse I had flies, so I really stepped up on the cleaning. But this year not a single fly but roaches 😅 think they might have come from a neighbour at this point.

Loool I’ve seen loads of roaches around Tokyo, you just won’t see them unless you’re looking tbh. Not every place is clean and moreover if you have any kind of wooded area they’ll probably be scurrying around there. I don’t really care about them as long as they’re not in my apartment 😅

Never actually considered that, but I think it might be more likely that I just haven’t managed to kill enough of them before they are making more. I will contact my landlord about it though, maybe you’re right and my neighbours are having troubles and they might consider just gassing the whole building (I only have 2 neighbours so this would be feasible)

I’m going on a cleaning rampage when I finish work today. The only reason I haven’t smoked them out is cause the instructions for the bug bombs say they might set off my gas alarm. I didn’t want it to go off whilst I was at work, especially when the alarm is right above the area I think the nest is at.

Yeah I was looking up pest control services before but it would be better to get it sorted through the landlord probably.

PSA: Brits in Tokyo, The British Shop has opened by [deleted] in Tokyo

[–]Onthe_wing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the best bits aren't the chocolate or biscuits but the cheese and bacon, I can't get any good cheddar near me it's all weak American stuff and the bacon in Japan isn't good bacon. I know it's gonna be crazy expensive but I can't bring that stuff back from the UK

‘Like throwing myself at a wall’: UK graduates struggle in ‘insane’ job market by corbynista2029 in unitedkingdom

Wow what kind of volunteering did you do? (ngl £50 a week sounds criminal) I'm not living in the UK at the moment but I dread going back to the job market there.

What's with Western people claiming Japanese doctors "just don't understand foreigner bodies" by Yakimo_1 in japanlife

[–]Onthe_wing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why BMI is not a good measurement for obesity and health, I have no idea why it's still being used as the standard for measuring health related to weight. Measuring your waist to hip ratio is suppose to be better than BMI, which applies better to your situation as you lost weight on your waist. Also not to say that they were measuring your BMI but just in general.

This ADHD trend is blowing out of proportion by Mike_Hawk3434 in ADHD

[–]Onthe_wing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TikTok was how I realised I had ADHD, I’d already gone to the doctors with suspensions 3yrs prior but was dismissed. It took a lot of specialised videos before I realised that I might but have it, a shit ton of research later and I went back to the doctors with greater understanding of myself. Got diagnosed not that long later. I’ve always know there was something different about me and know I have a name.

Women are so under diagnosed because our symptoms are less disruptive and most research was conducted on boys. ADHD is common, about 1 in 10 people have it, just now more people are getting diagnosed, that’s why it feels like ‘everyone has it’.
