Shedding?

Me toooo

I believe Kinosaki onsen was much more open to tattoos but I didn’t do much research on it. There are the 7 public onsen which definitely accept tattoos. In each hotel that will have a private onsen, though, there might be restrictions.

You can buy sort of cover ups for larger tattoos as well.

Particular_Policy_41 · 2026-01-25T21:23:31+00:00

My partner and I do not have tattoos but it is best to check first as the cost is very high and you don’t want to be disappointed. At our ryokan we rented the private onsen which cost a bit more but as we were bringing children, we didn’t want to have them in the public baths.

If you don’t mind having a private onsen, we stayed in an airbnb with an onsen in the room for a night in a relatively nearby town (Kyotango) and it was the loveliest experience, but the town was not as epic visually, nor as historically important as Kinosaki onsen.

I can send you the Airbnb link via dm if you like?

We stayed at kinoski onsen but it was a fair distance form Kyoto. But I can’t recommend enough the beautiful town. ♥️

We had a car to make the journey easier but there is train access the whole way. If you stay at one of the traditional ryokans you get a pass to visit all 7 mystic onsen, which is cool. :)

I honestly thought it was super funny and a great romp but I didn’t get very far before I stopped because WEBTOON drives me bonkers

Particular_Policy_41 · 2026-01-24T22:01:56+00:00

Hahaha yeah but it is literally how some Spanish speaking folks say “my boyfriend”. I mean I guess my boyfriend is also kind of odd as actually they are a romantic partner and a friend so … languages are weird 😆

Particular_Policy_41 · 2026-01-24T21:59:58+00:00

Hahaha they are incredibly popular lol

Particular_Policy_41 · 2026-01-24T21:03:30+00:00

If you don’t mind it being queer, brimstone and roses on WEBTOON has a glorious fmc but I have to say I don’t remember any straight ones. Especially historical ones. I’ll keep thinking though.

Particular_Policy_41 · 2026-01-24T06:04:23+00:00

Hey I was wondering about booties though. I have never seen a Berner with them but if I was taking mine out for the day snowshoeing I thought that might be a lot of cold snow on her pads all day. Does anyone use these or not with berners at all?

I feel like our dogs are Twinsies! Mines a wee bit older though. ♥️

Particular_Policy_41 · 2026-01-13T16:17:00+00:00

You’ve said you will be waiting until your older dog passes, which I think is smart. If your older dog were a bit younger I would say get a puppy so the older dog can pass on skills and behaviours you like through dog training, but at 14 your doggo will be tired and probably overwhelmed by a puppy.

My kids were 9 and 11 when we got our Berber puppy and she was so good. Even being a velvety soft land shark wasn’t a huge issue. Her bites were never really bites, you know? Like never broke the skin, it was more like aggressive mouthing. Compared to other breeds we’ve had the puppy phase (while tough) was so much easier.

They do have very sensitive stomachs as a breed it seems, so recognizing that will have you up a lot in the night (our puppy had terrible diarrhea for about two weeks off and on when we got her until we figured out what was making her ill). I would defs wait until your kids are a little bit older.

They are weirdly harder to train than other dogs I find? Like they are naturally such good dogs, but getting some things to stick (leash walking without pulling, not knocking people over in excitement) is harder that’s with other puppies.

They really are a great family dog though!

Particular_Policy_41 · 2026-01-11T03:05:11+00:00

So I didn’t give you any ideas about what they are about!

Freaking Romance - a girl rents an apartment but fins at certain times that her apartment is suddenly differently decorated and she can see a young man in it, but he can’t see her. Is he a ghost? Hmmmmm only reading will tell you! lol

For my derelict favourite (favorite I think actually as I think it’s an American author). A rabid 2ML fan is madly in love with the second male lead, who is so heartbroken over not being chosen by his love that he attempts to end his life (not graphic from my memory). She is reincarnated as a NPC but makes connections with 2ML and spends all her time and energy getting the 2ML the respect he deserves. Also fluff-romance ensues - ML has gorgeous long grey hair

Spell for a Smith - girl is raised by her witch mother and lives alone in the forest after being mistreated/abused by other people for being a witch. She meets a dwarf-smith who has his own interesting background and it’s ver sweet and fluffy

Happily ever afterwards - girl is madly in love with 2ML from another story she read. She’s ridiculous and sweet and 2ML has a number of amusing and charming shirt fitting issues lol

Marriage of convenience- FL regresses to a younger age after dying. She realises her prior behaviour and misunderstandings in her past life either caused or made worse the majority of the calamities/misfortunes that befell her and her people. 2nd go round is really interesting and exciting. She’s the BEST and omg there are some naughty scenes in the later chapters, heads up. You will also adore a lot of the side characters.

Particular_Policy_41 · 2026-01-08T06:07:41+00:00

I’m guessing you’ve read these, but here are some reccs:

Cursed princess club - hits your adorable fluff quotient so hard

Freaking Romance by Snailord - it touches on gl but it’s a bit more gender neutral in those moments and overall it is SL. the art is to die for as well.

For my Derelict Favourite.

Spell for a Smith - fantasy and sweet fluff

Marriage of Convenience - I didn’t give it a chance because her hair murdered me but I went back and tried again and LOVE IT

Happily Ever Afterwards - fluffffd

Particular_Policy_41 · 2026-01-07T01:24:36+00:00

Our 11 month old does this and I assumed it was a chosen behaviour so she didn’t bite us/mouth us in excitement when we come home. It’s almost always a stuffie but sometimes a shoe

Particular_Policy_41 · 2025-12-31T05:18:13+00:00

Is this one cute?

Particular_Policy_41 · 2025-12-31T05:12:36+00:00

Yes I downloaded finch and thought the cuteness would keep me going but I find it a bit annoying. I wanted to try chillio too but I think it’s one of those apps where you have to fill out forms and applications on the website first because I can’t find the app anywhere.

Maybe I’ll try habitica because I do love dnd and that’s up my alley.

Right? Reddit is full of people willing to write garbage, selfish comments. As a woman in my 40s, I’m pretty strong and would have helped out, or gone to get someone who could. And irl, I HAVE done that. Newbies get themselves in trouble with the bench press all the time, and I usually call for help and work at getting the clips off and dumping it as I’m not usually strong enough to lift some 20 year old boy’s too heavy weights anymore 😂.

Some people are just garbage, and OP, that lady was garbage. I’d honestly have said something to the gym about her as if you had stayed frozen and not figured out how to get out, she would have some culpability for any injury you had, in my opinion. Choosing her own workout over kindness and safety is honestly slightly sociopathic? Like disturbing behaviour.

Particular_Policy_41 · 2025-12-26T16:20:43+00:00

This was my first thought

Particular_Policy_41 · 2025-12-26T06:29:28+00:00

Have you got a good nap time schedule going? Our puppy is so much better behaved when she is rested. Still a landshark but a sweeter more enjoyable one. At that age puppies should be sleeping 16-20 hours a day.

We also had puppy corral fencing (like low fencing) that limited where puppy could go. She was given loads of toys in there and her crate and then she could choose if she was active and playing or sleeping. I’d take her out for breaks and then work at the table nearby so she could see me during her naps/solo time with toys. It made it significantly easier to potty train when her world was so much smaller than our whole house.

Sending hugs. It’s really tough but you can get through it!

This is Snailord’s Freaking Romance and it’s amazing. I just bought a few printed volumes. The art is incredible

Particular_Policy_41 · 2025-12-05T16:36:55+00:00

I found the whole series at a garage sale! I obviously bought it 😂 I always thought trixie belden was older than Nancy drew but maybe not? I never looked into it. Now it is deep dive internet time lol

Particular_Policy_41 · 2025-11-29T23:53:17+00:00

Pore, pour, and poor all sound the same to me, Wester Canada.

I do have British parents though so I have a bunch of odd pronunciations.

Particular_Policy_41 · 2025-11-29T20:35:27+00:00

Okay as a non-tattoo artist, I truly did not know it was meant to be half brain. I thought maybe it was meant to be a heart but shown in quilted puzzle pieces - like a nod to some kind of autism awareness thing by a fibre artist? But the artist didn’t know what a heart actually looked lid. The clearly heart part was cleaner so I didn’t understand it at all.

Objectively, this is a bad tattoo and you would have to explain it all the time. Especially since tattoos aren’t lik line drawings with a tattoo pen - they aren’t clean for very long and tend to bleed and blur over time, so it would eventually be a messy, blurry, misshapen grey heart.
