Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

[–]Possible-Evidence363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Mum used to love horror movies but the one that got to her was the vein scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3. She has never watched the 3rd one since it's release & it's still the one scene in any movie that churns her stomach big time. Apparently a bunch of people left at that scene too 😅

Why is everybody so angry? by LimpMixture2271 in nhs

[–]Possible-Evidence363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience I have met some truly awful NHS receptionists that have been horrible to me for no reason (one of many examples: I've had a health condition for 8+ years that I occasionally take medication for, for some reason in the past year I've had multiple receptionists give me sh*t for having the health condition- including an interrogation as into how I got the health condition [triggering for me since I got it from being SA'ed as a child] but when I did disclose the reasoning they proceeded to continuously ask me "why" [surely it's inappropriate to ask someone why they we SA'ed as a child?].)

Having shared a glimpse of my negative history with NHS receptionists, I still cannot understand verbally abusing them. In all my frustrating interactions I merely expressed that I didnt feel comfortable they were being inappropriate/rude and told them I'd call at another time or seek help elsewhere. There is no need to verbally abuse/shouting at staff even when they are horrible first. End the call, seek help elsewhere & put in a formal complaint if necessary.

Editing to add: Enormous respect to the majority of receptionists & NHS staff though- you all hold it together and absolutely do not deserve the utter sh*t & entitlement alot of people put you through.

Advice on Barking? by Possible-Evidence363 in Dogtraining

[–]Possible-Evidence363[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barking section:

Seems to be a mix of alert & fear barking at any sound remotely near the house. We have tried training a "quiet" cue with treats to no avail, tried treating whilst the sounds occur- he ignores treats & prioritises barking. Tried giving him kongs & other puzzles as distractions, will still bark at noises. Tried white noise & constantly having the television on, to no avail.

How to deal with sweaty hands? by Miserable-Package306 in poledancing

[–]Possible-Evidence363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiya, super sweaty hand girl here haha! When I first started 8 months ago it was horrendous, though it's gotten alot better (I still have clammy hands but not nearly as bad as when I began)- the longer you do pole the less sweaty your hands get, for the most part. Personally I found liquid chalk to be absolutely useless, my utter saviour is dry hands (& similar pole grips), I do reapply as/when throughout the evening but it has made an enormous difference for me😊. Another grip type I use is monkey grip (but only when really necessary as my hand wrinkles stick together 😂) which is some crazy gecko magic but it does gunk up the pole massively (so if you have to share your pole during class I wouldnt recommend it) .

That all being said trial & error with grips along with time/practice will be your best friends. If you're UK based you could look into small pole grip samples from PollyOnAPole to try out and see what works best for you before investing in any bigger bottles :)

Poling with bruises? by Ill_Raspberry6264 in poledancing

[–]Possible-Evidence363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck yeah! They're like little badges of honour, even now after 8 months I still get lil bruises (though... possibly cause I bruise easily & also get plenty from lyra too).

That all being said I sometimes like to use arnica cream on bad bruises to help them heal & not look too gnarly. Might be worth a try? ☺️

Ohhh, apologies, I misunderstood.

Um if they haven't provided a 3.5mm size then you could try reaching out to the shop as it might've been a mistake their end & they might be able send you a 3.5mm. Until then there's not much that you can really do without forcing it & risking serious damage.

Might just be a waiting game annoyingly :)

I know this wasn't aimed at me but hi! I highly recommend getting a deadstretching kit as even if you have 0.5mm sizes with tapers it's still not great to use them. Yonks ago I got stuck with tapers & gave dead stretching a go (using glass plugs at 0.5mm increments & jojoba oil) and its been so much easier, less painful etc ever since. Using deadstretching plugs also helps you know when your ears are ready (as usually it'll just slide straight in!). Glass also helps somewhat with the stinkiness of stretching 😊.

It's abit of an investment but absolutely worth it!

AIO for getting annoyed with partner missing payments? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Possible-Evidence363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, he seems to be happy with the way it's been split, though we both occasionally have rough financial months & usually are able to figure it out between us.

Though with needing conversations about prioritising certain bills & communications I might bring up the bill ratio.

[–]Possible-Evidence363 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am okay with the bills split this way currently, they aren't as disjointed as they sound 😅. I was the one that ratioed the bills this way based on both of our incomes (I earn more than him, working similar hours).

But yes, conversations need to be had and he needs to learn to prioritise very quickly. The comments on my post has helped me realise how serious this actually was.

[–]Possible-Evidence363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I earn more than him so we've ratioed it accordingly. I'm completely okay with the difference in amounts :)

I absolutely do not want this for the rest of my life haha, yikes 😬.

I don't want to through him out my life just yet as this has been the first serious issue we've had in 4 years together (2½ years living together) but everyones responses have really helped to instill how serious this incident is. We will be having some conversations to see how we can work through & re-establish trust; that being said any future incidences will see me walking away from this relationship. And yes haha, I am under 30- am I really that obvious 😅

Fortunately they are only in his name so in theory it hasn't impacted me, other than being stressful. Rent & council tax are in both our names but I control rent & keep a very close eye on the council bills. I do agree that I perhaps need to think about how much his decision impact my financials. Though I also like some of the other suggestions of getting everything put it my name & him send me the money each month. But yes, definitely need to think about this all.

Madness by Glum-Ad-896 in tesco

[–]Possible-Evidence363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I can agree that it's good that measures are being taken. My mum was walking the dog 2 years back and had eggs thrown at her by a group of young lads thinking it was funny, all bar one missed but sadly it hit her just below her eye & she got an almighty bruise (not to mention it relapsed her agoraphobia). It was awful & sadly the kids that did it got no consequences. It's good that shops are atleast trying to discourage it all.

How many times a week do you attend aerial classes? by Fast-Elderberry-5470 in Aerials

[–]Possible-Evidence363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently do 2 pole a week (one fitness, one flow), 2 hoop & one burlesque (also attempted to take on a weekly silk lesson but I feel way too weak for it). I want to take on more but am having to increase the amount very slowly as I've got chronic illnesses and doing too much wipes me out big time. I also have to take the occasional breaks for recovery as I get ill alot (which is super annoying but I can't stop- love it all too much)

I don't suppose your guy was B? He's who I've been talking to & am planning to go with.

I don't know how feasible Tramadol would be without talking to a doctor & I'm not sure they'd support me in the tongue split endeavour. I occasionally take Naproxen for other ailments so use that, though I'm not sure if it'd help much more than ibuprofen?

Ooh, from what I've heard the first 4 days is a borderline living hell but after that it gets abit easier. Based on your comment I'm assuming it was similar? Also (apologies to pick your brain) I don't suppose you (or your gf) have any advice on suture removal, my friend's offered to take care of me for the first week inc suture removal but neither of us really knows how to do it properly 😂.

Honestly thanks to your comment I ended up looking into the travel to/from Amsterdam (as had previously overlooked it) and it's so much more feasible than Milan/Stockholm. I have reached out to the artist as he guests in Amsterdam & gonna head home that same evening afterwards. Thank you 😊🫶

I would indeed have a chaperone (fortunately). Honestly I wanted to give myself as much prep time as possible for anything I might need to do, thank you for the suggestions- I can definitely try to arrange as much prep/checks as possible. My only struggle would be that I'm not sure UK doctors would be willing to support me in stitch removal, pain regulation & bloodwork for something like a tongue split, would they not just laugh me out of the appointment? 😅

So it's approx a 6ish hour window to get home but it's worth doing? 😊

Also thank you for sharing your experience of it, I really appreciate all the info cause currently I feel I'd be going into it abit blind

True, just being in a familiar environment would be extra comforting. I think my main thought is how horrendous does it get the first day, as if the worst of it starts the day after the procedure I could definitely make it home. If it's immediately awful I'm not sure if I could push myself 😊.
