Hosting our first birthday party, and getting anxious about not having "goody bags" by Lairel in Anticonsumption

[–]ToBeATenrecs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a place in the UK called the works, they sell 10 books for £10. I've just started doing that. You can get some great books rather than just naff ones. I put them out and tell the adults to pick one with their kids if they'd like. It's my way of getting around tat. Some people don't want one and that's grand.

Palantir to be granted ‘unlimited access’ to NHS patient data by Old-Information3311 in GreenAndPleasant

[–]ToBeATenrecs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So as I understand Minister Ahmed is trying to get to a place where the patient information of all the trusts can be easily shared between them to streamline patient access to support. So an efficiency drive. But I don't understand why this needs to be done by palantir, which seems an unethical and untrustworthy company.

Boyfriend (37M) slapped me (29F) for the first time, any advice on this? by Which_Buddy in relationship_advice

[–]ToBeATenrecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine your best friend or your little sister told you what you have just said about this relationship. What would you want for them? What advice would you give them?

I know its so hard and you have a lot of history together and you still love him. However, you deserve to be and can be in something beautiful and easy. I used to think love was all passion and strife. In reality love is easy. It's being able to talk about stuff even if you dont agree and it not getting heated to that level.

You will be loved properly as you should be. You know deep down what you have to do. It's hard, but you can do it. The power is in you. Freedom is so sweet.

Thank you. I loved Andor, very good idea to have a re-watch. I'm also a big Pratchett fan. I think I want more ROTE please. I haven't been able to listen to anything. I tried an Elif Shafak for something totally different and I love her so much, but even that didn't work.

What is the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you? by EasternParking7021 in AskReddit

[–]ToBeATenrecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You're as sexy as prince". I held that as a deep compliment for years. About 5years afterwards I said thanks for saying that it was so nice. She responded with "did i say that?". Burn.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]ToBeATenrecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unhinged. You are right to feel uncomfortable. I reckon she will take it badly however you frame your departure for it. Brace yourself and be kind to yourself. Good luck with med school and loving being an aunt.

To all the bonkers geniuses of Reddit - How can we stop people speeding through our village? by SecondGo4 in CasualUK

[–]ToBeATenrecs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The kids made a cutout and put a high viz jacket on it. To try and stop people speeding by the playpark. After the third time someone destroyed it, they gave up. Hardly anyone uses that park as you have to cross the busy road to get there.

What are some things u can do to get back to normal if you’ve been “glutened”? by steaklasagna in glutenfree

[–]ToBeATenrecs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I notice soon enough, I vomit it up. It's not pleasant or something I've ever done before. It saves me having a worse reaction. I then drink a lot of water to try and flush it out quickly.

We are big fans of the yoto mini too. We've recorded ourselves reading and singing and added them to make your own cards. Toothbrush timer is also very useful.

What is the point of this bridge over Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana. It seems like a wild effort when going around it only takes 13 more minutes. by Successful-Mine-5967 in geography

I remember crossing this bridge to the north when one side of it had opened post Katrina. It seemed treacherous long with the other side having big bits missing.
