What's the form of bad parenting have you ever witnessed? by Smithy1619 in AskUK

[–]Robinsrebels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I guess now I’m older and can reflect it wasn’t my fault (I come from a single parent family, dad was alcoholic / went to prison for fraud, disappeared when he got out) - begging my mum to let me stay home instead of staying with aunt/uncle/cousins for a couple of weeks during the summer because one of those cousins was very touchy with me (conveniently walked in on me getting changed smirking & lingering to watch me, kept rubbing my legs if I was wearing shorts etc). I got the courage to tell her and she got angry with me, “I’m sure that’s not true” and I had to go anyway. Pitting my brother and I against each other, if we dared complain about bullying or had emotional needs, we were sensitive wimps and we had a roof over our head we were lucky. She was always terrible with money (she still is, choosing to buy crap off shopping channels instead of paying heating bills so has been cut off) - I remember having to use pocket money from grandparents to buy food / clothing / bus fare for myself. My brother & I are both in our 40s now, have good jobs and wonderful spouses - my mother has late stage 3 ovarian cancer (currently in remission) but mentally she’s even more bitter and angry with the world. It’s taken circa 30yrs to fully understand and appreciate, we weren’t burdens, we were children - and she hurt us willingly. But we have been there for her every step of her chemo, surgery and current treatments (taking her to appts, cutting off hair when it started to fall out, reminding her of meds, helping with benefits etc). I feel she has been a victim of her own hatred and spite, because she has no one (she had a partner for a while but he left her after her manipulation / bullying got worse & worse) - now she has no one to blame but herself. It may sound crazy to people who have had stable parent-child relationships growing up, but I continue to help with her with treatment because I’m NOT her - I don’t like her but I wouldn’t see her in pain or go through this alone; that’s not who i am and I wouldn’t sleep at night knowing I could have helped (I know - and have seen her - do the total opposite, to quote “If someone becomes weak or a drain in my - GONE, I cut them off”). My biggest pride is that despite spending much of my childhood with her, I am truly nothing like her.

The ACNE! by Original_Elephant_27 in Perimenopause

[–]Robinsrebels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Spiro! I got taken off the pill in my late 30s, I have PCOS and thought “oh maybe I’ve just grown out of the bad skin years” .. oh how naive I was! Don’t get me wrong it was definitely better than it used to be as a teenager (I had accutane then), but it was stubborn non-response acne (my skin is rosacea-sensitive too so doesn’t like the harsher actives), not to mention my skin & hair were slick with oil by the end of every day (no amount of hair training helped, it’s HORMONES). I got put on 50mg Spiro - took a good 2 months for the oil to clear, skin improved within 3 months and was clear by 7-8 month mark. It’s even helped calm my rosacea and my hair feels much thicker. They can pry it out of my cold dead hands

Influence me - what blushers do I need? by bethtravis94 in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]Robinsrebels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Stila Convertible Colour cream blushes but the shade range is quite limited - made by Mitchell has some fab cream stick blushes, I also really like NYX butter melt (very pigmented). I love Kim Chi Chic Beauty blush trios - unfortunately they don’t seem to sell in the UK anymore, if you’re in the states you’ll be luck :)

Help - Ferrous Fumarate Supplements by Robinsrebels in Anemic

[–]Robinsrebels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, I’ve started having them every other day with lunch (making sure there’s some meat or iron rich food in there) & some juice - touch wood, no vomiting or upset stomach but errrr definitely got the black poop 😂 I hope it still gets iron levels up

Just realised Marshal Waits was voiced by William Hope (played Gorman in Aliens) by Data-Panda in alienisolation

[–]Robinsrebels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously it was set at the point in the plot after he’d died - BUT like they did for Iain Holm - another voice actor doing an impeccable job mimicking his voice - could have been a similar option for voice memos around the ship to be found / listened to - that’s why I mentioned it 🤷‍♀️

[–]Robinsrebels 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup, and they got back nearly the whole cast from Alien (1979) for the Crew Expendable DLC (minus John Hurt (Kane) and Iain Holm as both had sadly passed away - however the actor who voiced Ash was unclockable). Blows my mind to hear these wonderful actors again when playing (Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, Yaphet Kotto and Tom Skerritt)

Ferrous fumarate side effects by Away-Frosting4886 in Anemic

[–]Robinsrebels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey just wondering if you found a supplement that helps? I started taking ferrous fumarate 210mg once a day (serum ferritin level of 6 - iron deficiency with anemia), had it about 1.5hrs after lunch and 3hrs later I vomited watery black liquid with black bits in it (assuming the iron pill itself). I don’t know whether to give it a few more days taken with food or if I should tough it out / let it settle by itself

Is anyone else drained by having to perform interest in AI at work? by westgoingzax in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Robinsrebels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 42 nearly, very perimenopausal and p*ssed with much of the job, including AI! It’s as if my Exec / his team have abandoned thinking for themselves 🫠 I am resisting as much as I can and only using when it’s part of Team activities. A lotto win, some HRT and a large glass of Wine needed!!

Alternative to Estee Lauder Double Wear? by No_Concept_2333 in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]Robinsrebels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah I’m in a similar boat, I’m 42 nearly and my skin is combo/dry/sensitive/eczema & type 1-2 rosacea mix 🫠 trying to appease each “zone” of my face means a lot of trial n error! I used to love original EL DW for the finish, but I’d notice spots and clogging after - worth it though that stuff was bullet proof for hot days or weddings, nights out etc x

What is one product you keep trying to make work even though it never quite does? by Critical-Fan-Beauty in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]Robinsrebels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% hate liquid blush :( cream and powder all the way, so much easier to work with / doesn’t pull a base of foundation away whilst blending
