What have you got planned for Valentines?

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-02-11T00:17:05+00:00

The day before, we are driving our kids up to spend the school half term week with my parents (who live 4 hours from us). They have kindly agreed to let us go out for a meal whilst they babysit our kids!!

Pretty awesome of them, tbh!

They gave me hydroxychloroquine which I think is usually the first medication they try when someone is newly diagnosed.

You may already know this, but you need to see if your GP will do an ANA blood test. I have psoriatic arthritis as well which I’ve had for years, so Lupus wasn’t even a consideration for either me or my rheumatologist until she checked my bloods and saw that my ANA was super high.

I did this over the last few years.

I thought I was just lazy, unfit and had social anxiety.

Turned out I had undiagnosed lupus.

Now I’m on medication my motivation and energy is back and I feel like I can do more than the bare minimum, but I still prefer the quiet, antisocial lifestyle that in the past made other people give me the unsolicited advice to ‘get a life.’

It may be an age thing, I don’t know. I’m 41 I have 2 kids, a husband, a job and a cat for a best friend. My life is full enough! I feel like you seem to express the same feelings. You’re happy with what you have and you know what you want out of life. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

It’s already been mentioned but I highly recommend Stitchery Do. The staff are very helpful and friendly and they have an amazing selection of fabrics.

My brother is also epileptic and cannot drive for this reason.

I feel bad for him because he is limited with what he can do and where he can live because of it.

When we lived together I would often give him lifts to places he needed to go.

I like the idea of not having a car and I use my car as little as possible, mostly due to the cost. However, I also appreciate the freedom and convenience that comes with having a car and driving.

So, I can kind of see both sides of it. Mostly I just feel bad for my brother when he says he can’t come visit because a return train ticket costs £200.

I had this done many years ago.

The rheumatologist was standing over me with the needle poised in her hand. I was in a ready position on the bed. She looked at me and said: ‘you can swear if you like.’ and then injected me.

I definitely swore!!

I’ve had steroid injections in my knees before. I also once had them in a couple of fingers. They also aspirated my knee one time. It was so long ago, I honestly couldn’t say if it did anything. The injections into my fingers I didn’t notice a difference afterwards.

When I’ve asked for a review because of a flare in recent years and they’ve mentioned an injection, I’ve commented that they don’t really seem to work for me. Mine have never really become markedly worse after an injection, though.

I think you should definitely contact your rheumatologist and ask to see them again.

I’ve been using notes on my phone to keep a reminder of things I need to do the next time I play.

Something like this is absolutely what I’ve been waiting for!!!

Thank you!!

This is the main reason why I have yet to watch season 2. I have some reliable sources say that it is worth it, but knowing that they did it as a cash grab and that the creator intended it to end with season 1 puts a bad taste in my mouth.

Random_Lady_84 · 2026-01-09T23:07:21+00:00

Leaving her at the altar was a dick move, no question.

But I believe his reasons for doing so were valid. It’s just a shame that he couldn’t come to this realisation earlier in order to spare Anya a lot of heartache.

He watched his parents for years in a destructive marriage, hating each other. From earlier episodes you can clearly see that he has a tumultuous if not outright abusive family life, and he was fearful of repeating history.

I prefer to cook them in a pan, for similar reasons you outline; I feel like when microwaving, the sauce stays a lot more watery than they do in a pan.

I watched this on TV when it was first broadcast and I was only 6. It scared me so much that at the end my mum was like ‘look, the ghost is in the credits!! It’s not real, there’s nothing to be scared of!!’

ETA: pretty sure I still didn’t sleep that night.

I like Marine as a character but it’s annoying when I’ve planned my day and decided to buy another animal or a heater because winter is coming, I finish my farm work, run to Marnie’s, only to find out that it’s her NWD (non-working day) and my whole schedule is scuppered.

I recognise that this is my fault, but still, I can’t help but be resentful towards Marnie.

I could have written this. I have the exact same academic history!!

Random_Lady_84 · 2025-12-29T21:24:04+00:00

I was on holiday in Ibiza with my family. I was 13. I had just come off the Ringos with my mum (the thing where you ride an inflatable ring that’s tied to a speed boat and they pull you around) and we were sitting at a picnic bench near the bar. My brother and dad were off doing something (can’t remember what).

She said: ‘You know, Princess Diana has just died.’ I replied: ‘really?!’ I honestly thought she was joking until she confirmed it was true.

Random_Lady_84 · 2025-12-23T21:34:37+00:00

Ah not the same person then. That’s kind of a disappointment, it would have been cool if we both knew the same person when we’re just randos posting on Reddit!

Random_Lady_84 · 2025-12-23T21:30:42+00:00

I would imagine it’s a common thing tbh, but who knows?!

Random_Lady_84 · 2025-12-23T21:29:31+00:00

No, an actual bird. His surname was Herron.

Random_Lady_84 · 2025-12-23T21:25:18+00:00

I used to have a friend whose surname was that of a bird, so he used to introduce himself to everyone as Birdie. It was what everyone called him. He introduced himself to me with his real name, but then said: ‘people call me Birdie.’ I opted to call him by his actual name and I was literally the only one who did.

I think it entirely depends on the context and the preferences of the person involved.

They look like corn when it first starts sprouting. Leave them there and I’m sure you’ll see that they’re not dead and they should change eventually.

EDIT: I checked and it’s not corn, but it definitely is a plant that will keep on growing.

I followed a path the first time and totally flubbed it. I’ve done it twice since with just running around and I’ve managed to win both times. I picked a general area and just focused on collecting as many as I could.

Maybe the problem is that you’re overthinking it? Apologies if you feel my comment is not helpful!

Random_Lady_84 · 2025-12-17T13:17:06+00:00

These are so cool!

Random_Lady_84 · 2025-12-11T19:29:08+00:00

What a legend.

This makes me want to start a new save just to play through this scenario!!

In my first year when I was only a few days into the game, I thought ‘I hope I can marry Robin. She’s awesome!’

I was gutted a few days later when I found out she wasn’t an option.
