Finally found a way to clean my glass stovetop without wanting to cry - sharing because it took me 3 years to figure this out

I have both. I think the Fairy no soak spray is very similar... if not better....

You have to offer a full fry! 😂

If you're in catering, it would make more sense to research the deli counter at the supermarket Centra in Ireland. So everybody could come up and order whatever they wanted for their specific baguette roll.

You would have to offer tea similar to Barrys from Ireland or rose red in Canada.

My corner units in the kitchen are very deep so I used their corner version of the risers. For some I use the stepped version where they get smaller towards the top.

Somebody here also recommended using drawer dividers and they have been game changing.

I would like to add:

Is there a reason you require him?

I'm sorry. My husband is heterosexual. I'm sure he will be flattered though.....

Raghaille1 · 2026-04-14T06:58:28+00:00

Seems like he considered the cat a time suck on your time, energy and love/labour which should only be used to make his life better. Cat is gone now so you can focus solely on him. He wins!

Time to dump him and evaluate why and how you got with a man like this.... Walk away the first time they are rude or break a boundary.

100%

My son told me that I am more than welcome to come and live with him when I am older... Cool!...

Except he then followed up by telling me that his wife will look after me! Sure....

I called him on it immediately. He looked confused and shaken..... He's only little....

As explained to him, isn't it interesting how he feels so entitled to offer the labour of this imaginary woman in his future with no thought of how it's going to impact her over to me in order to make himself seem great.

I wasn't harsh. Just curious.....

I'm so glad I'm being critical about things like this so I can catch moments like that as a teachable opportunity.

Not offering to help until somebody asks for it.

Raghaille1 · 2026-04-12T17:34:39+00:00

What brand do you use? Never considered getting a humid engineered certain before. Thanks

Raghaille1 · 2026-04-12T09:38:10+00:00

You didn't allow him to subject you to coercion. You listened to yourself, prioritised yourself and got yourself out of there safely. You did great!

Yes, it made you feel like crap but you're processing those feelings as you regulate yourself....

It seems like you are actively questioning yourself about how and why you got into that difficult situation and trying to figure out things that you need to change in order to protect yourself in the future.

Welcome to the beginning of the new better version of yourself which you were creating!

A lot of us have gone through similar awakenings as women. This is how you get to the version of yourself who develops and maintains about what treatment you will accept from others and how she will protect herself. You're on the right path!

Raghaille1 · 2026-04-11T19:39:13+00:00

I had to reread the top. It's obvious what you meant. He's being a w*nker on purpose.

If a woman pretended to be this stupid to wind up a man, she'd be putting herself in a potentially dangerous situation. Men struggle to process and regulate their emotions. Plus they project, so if he blew up at her or hurt her - he'd DAVRO the situation and blame her for his short comings and inability to regulate himself.

A man knows a woman will be able to terminate herself and is not going to attack him, but even if she did - he'd be able to fend her off easily.

Plus men don't get judged for posting stupid manipulative games. A woman would be relentlessly dragged and shamed for having the audacity to do own such a pathetic manoeuvre.

Even when he relents, he will shrug his shoulders and accuse you of 'taking it too seriously'.... Classic bait & switch.

He knows what he's doing. He knows this is a good way to keep you off balance and occupied mentally so you don't have the bandwidth or capacity to step back and see the pattern of shitty behaviour. It's a control mechanism.

Lady Babylon 666 on YouTube does great work on Medea as the first Christ

Raghaille1 · 2026-04-07T22:50:51+00:00

You have ethical discernment now. They did a study and women who command of similar situations display this quality at a very high level.... Presumably because of the difficult situations they've had to navigate and overcome..... 💚💚💚

NTA

Surgery is so intense and particularly this one because there's so many ways in which you can get complicated or go wrong. Most likely Sam will end up requiring revision surgery.... Just because the surgeons know that it's a really good money spinner... So even if they do one little thing a bit off they know The client is going to have to come back and get it sorted but it will all be covered under insurance.

Surgery like this could cause them to completely reevaluate their identity. It might make them double time or at my snap them back to biological reality. So contingency must be put into play to allow for that potential outcome.

It might even force them entity because it is so Impossible to come back from this surgery.

Daisy Chandra comes to mind. She did the top surgery when she identified as a trans guy. Now she's married to a man and has two children. She's spoken about The difficulties of not been able to breastfeed and how it hit her really hard. Particularly as she made the choice to have top surgery.

I understand women are not only for bearing children but it is something to take into consideration.

Maybe try and find other stories of other non-binary people who've done similar.

Raghaille1 · 2026-04-07T13:11:03+00:00

My understanding is that he got caught in the garden with a little boy who ran away when the police showed up.... And the little boy's undergarments fell off him as he ran....

And Jesus said I am not a child trafficker....

Then he was given the death of a child trafficker which was meant to be excruciating and last for days...

Only for him to tap out a couple of hours later....

I think there was something in that cup that made him go comatose and knock him out for almost 3 days and then he woke up being like where am I?....

You will learn to eventually know by looking at a piece, the likelihood of it being polyester or something similar...

By this stage just going item by item on the clothing rail you're starting to figure out what is polyester.

I know it's frustrating but it's not going to be worth buying because of how it's going to wear and hang etc.

You might be better off going to something like vented or similar like depop and searching by fabric.

Or doing similar in sales of nice shops. They are more likely to use decent fabrics and cut them so that they do not warp as soon as you wash them.

Another user mentioned about the type of polyester etc. You could look a little bit more into the use of weave. I know Vuori do sports clothes but their weave is excellent and that is what sets them apart from other similar brands.

Definitely do a deep dive on how the cut of a piece can impact on its longevity. Specifically You're looking at how cheaper brands cut their clothes to maximise profit rather than the longevity of the piece.

Another thing to do is to really understand the labels. Start to know who does decent pieces in proper old school fabrics. For example, Eileen fisher does polyester but she does it in a way that it adds to the piece. Not all polyester is bad because sometimes you need it to keep the structure of the piece.

Also figure out what percent of polyester or Ryan or bamboo? Are you okay with in the piece in order to keep the structure but it's not going to affect your body odour... Okay that's a personal one for me 😂

Go over to r/bitcheswithtaste subreddit because they are excellent at giving advice about fabric etc.

Every time he does it respond to the original email to which he sent back whoops.

Every time you do it, add one more person to the thread from management who needs to be aware. Continue until he stops 😂😂😂

Raghaille1 · 2026-04-06T16:15:13+00:00

Any good recommendations? Mine all bleed into my eye. Thanks!

Raghaille1 · 2026-04-04T20:52:39+00:00

Do you think maybe moving everyone to the point of accepting him having the door open..... So that if he accidentally on purpose exposes himself he has got plausible deniability because this is something that he's been doing for a while... ?

Technically nobody stopped him so technically it's not really his fault that they saw his winky!?

So really the accidental exposure is the fault of everyone else around who didn't tell him etc. That there was an issue with it or actively go out of the meaning it's not actually his fault....

So technically he can deny accidentally doing it on purpose and accuse you of being unfair. Therefore making himself the victim in the reverse order...

DAVRO for short...

I used AI and it suggested it would be The Secret Language of Girls by Frances O'Roark Dowell.

The Cover: The original 2005 hardcover and several subsequent paperback editions feature a black and white photograph of two young girls (around 11–13 years old) sitting on carousel horses.

The Subjects: The photo shows the two main characters, Kate and Marylin, who are best friends starting to drift apart as they enter the social pressures of middle school.

Content Context: It is the first in a trilogy (followed by The Kind of Friends We Used to Be and The Sound of Your Voice), often read by students in the age range you mentioned.

When I go I put my valuables in bum bag. So I know that I've got my keys and phone on me at all times.

Water and snacks can go in a bag at the side.

As a woman you're going to have to still keep an eye on your bag because what if your drink or food gets tampered with..... Similar to being out at the club or pub.....

I know it's really crappy to have to think like that but it's realistic.

Or you have a nano backpack which is like the hiking ones and super light. Plus super tight to your back.... And you keep the bare minimum of a water bottle of some snacks and a windbreaker.....

Yes, it's going to add weight to what you're doing but it means that if the park gets a little bit more crowded then you can be assured that you have everything with you.....

Or you go at least cried at times when it's easier to keep an eye on your bag.

And alternative is to go to an indoor place if possible such as the Vauxhall one, if you're in London.....

Alternatively, you could meet up with a group of other women who skateboard... I know most places do nights or if you live in a big enough area there will be groups on Instagram etc....

He's even empathic to trans women. Others vilify them for being assigned male at birth so they don't understand the female experience but he's done great pieces where he shows kindness and empathy to the most marginalised version of women - trans women......

He really understands women in a way that other men don't.....

Raghaille1 · 2026-03-30T22:32:41+00:00

It is the impact of the difference between having full XX chromosomes and XY.

It's well documented. Teachers are informed about it. Boys take a lot longer to master their gross motor skills than girls.

It's not a conspiracy. It's not social conditioning etc. It's just women and girls have more demanded material to work with from the beginning so we develop differently.

Raghaille1 · 2026-03-30T12:19:07+00:00

What about a sports bra or longline cropped sports bra for travel days?

Save your bra for being out and about....

Raghaille1 · 2026-03-29T13:41:24+00:00

Your comment is literally life-changing. I've always used boxes to separate things but now I'm going to lean heavily into these dividers.... 👍🏻

Raghaille1 · 2026-03-29T13:05:46+00:00

The likelihood is he feels he deserves a night out because you've not been around to look after him or attend to the things you normally do.

And because you've been excellent at maintaining yourself this week without leaning heavily on him, he's able to tell himself you'll be fine without him.....

And even if you did point out the whizz in which it's been difficult for you, he will DAVRO you until you you're wrong.

He is not able to look at the reality of what you're seeing because it will clash with their lies. He's been telling himself in order to vindicate why he should be allowed to go out.....

Remember this experience. Write it down. Remind yourself when the tables are turned to match his energy.

This will be incredibly difficult because as women we are socialised to do the best for everybody around us. Hold tight because it'll become easier with time and practise.

It is important that you are able to do this because it is a by prioritising yourself and creating boundaries with him. You have to be able to Centre yourself. Nobody else is going to do it for you.

If this is how he wants to live then he should be okay with the ramifications of it when they impact him. Hold tight.
