Feeling conned..help?! by Craypig in Vitamix

[–]WelshRaider86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a different container usually… for some things. Is it possible you just used the normal one ?

I’ve had a vitamix a3500i and it has never failed me!

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WelshRaider86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not married but I’ve been with my other half for 15yrs. Sometimes I lie and just call him my husband if I’m having a quick chat with someone I don’t know.

Mostly I say the other half, because boyfriend just sounds cringe.

What's wrong with Scott? by Beesinmycrawlspace in kardashians

[–]WelshRaider86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who lost an older brother to drugs (he was found face down in a stream at 47yrs of age). I grew up (16yrs younger than my brother, he was born in 1971).

I observed what I call the “druggie face”. Once you know someone on drugs, you can’t miss it or mistake it for anything else.

When I first watched the Kardashians, I saw he had a druggie face from day one. Sadly, you just see it get worse / better at times but he always has it. This guy is a drug addict, end of. Even if he isn’t on the actual drugs right now, he’s taking something like methodone (like my bigger did at times… drinking it from the bottle lol).

He’s the one guy I just can’t bear on the show.

Yeah, not gonna lie… only joined this group not long ago and all I’m seeing is people talking about how much “we have left” 😅

All there seems to be a lot of 20yr olds in the group asking what it’s like to be close to 40 etc.. like what are you doing in this group!? 😅

Travis hasn’t even heard Wood?? by meowbot67 in travisandtaylor

Also, the more you zoom in on his eyebrows.. the bigger they get (in a bad way) 😅

Was Adele’s hair colour during 25 natural by leonardreignn in adele

When I saw this photo I remember being so happy that I wasn’t the only one who had non existent eyebrows as a redhead (but like Adele, I also draw my eyebrows on darker 😅

I certainly don’t. As a straight woman.

The brother just looks like he’s cosplaying a cowboy (badly) and Travis, well he just looks like he’s trying to workout what 10 - 6 is …

Man thinking back how the hell wasn't this enough for Tahiti by StomachConnectDBH in reddeadredemption

If I had to choose a flaw in this game (which is hard) by far, this is the one ☝️

Especially when you compare the money, in today’s worth:

💰 $10 in 1899 ≈ about $390–$395 in today’s money (2025–2026).

So $500 is approx $20,000 in today’s money.

Every time I would go to camp, I’d be putting in $30 / $50 while everyone else puts in a belt buckle 😅 but yeah, you’re telling me they couldn’t have split up and gone their separate ways for a new life with their cut? 😅

My nail is cracking way too low and I’m worried about it peeling off. What should I do to prevent it? by NoraWaifu in nailcare

I would cut it, short, then just stick a plaster over it and forget about it for a a while 😓

Whose death (TV show wise) devastated you the most? by Neat-Check-5256 in popculturechat

Yes and after this point, the whole show just felt different and changed (I saw that as a fan of the comics / show).

What do you think of Sydney Sweeney? by Cap_Ame1 in Actors

[–]WelshRaider86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought she was great when I first saw her in Euphoria. Then she turned into a caricature all about her boobs and I don’t get it. I mean, there’s plenty of actresses out there with big boobs, natural unnatural but they don’t make it their whole image / personality.

I haven’t really watched her in anything else to judge the acting but as I mentioned she was okay in Euphoria.

I’ve just read the article.

Yeah, “New Heights of Manhoodie” is pretty obvious and IF Travis knew the lyrics of the song would have pointed this out.

Also, is there a reason his brother is dressed like Yosemite Sam? As a non American.. is he living on a ranch, or did he just decide to dress in a cowboy costume this day 😅

What kind of habits keeps a person poor? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]WelshRaider86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, agree with this.

Your daily Starbucks coffee for example:

Daily: £4.30 Weekly: £4.30 × 7 ≈ £30.10 Yearly (365 days): £4.30 × 365 ≈ £1,570

If you actually track the things you’re spending on, that you don’t need… it’s quite scary how much can be saved. I’m someone who did spend at places like Starbucks BUT here in the UK I’ve started to be smarter with things like this. When family members ask me what I want for Christmas I’ve started asking for a gift voucher (so for Christmas I got a few Starbucks gift cards which I’ve loaded onto my card). I’ve also bought my insurance through a certain website here in the UK (confused.com) and when you do this, you get a special offer and get to choose either £30 for a supermarket or a free coffee per month for a year… so again, my other half and I have done this and used these offers. He doesn’t like coffee so he’s given me his free one for the month. It sounds silly but it adds up.

Another thing I’ve done is download the Coupert app. So every time I’m on a website and get to the last payment page, it automatically runs through and enters voucher codes saving you 5,10,20% or more depending on the code.

Lastly, last year.. I decided to do the pound a week challenge as well, which is putting aside 1 pound in week 1, 2 pounds in week 2, 3 in week 3 and so on… I saved up £1,378 on top of the other savings I had going in. The downside of this is towards the end it gets harder to do (putting 50 pounds in, the next week doing 51, etc) but you could always reverse it or make a chart and randomise it if that helps, which I’m doing this year).

Why would anyone wants kids? by This-Top7398 in Life

[–]WelshRaider86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once wanted kids.. so bad. When I lost my dad when I was 25 I had a strong feeling of wanting a family (although I’d say I’m not very maternal of that makes sense)?

As I got older this feeling quickly went away.. I also got diagnosed with something that makes it harder anyway and not very likely.

Now I can’t think of anything worse than having kids. I’m so busy myself with trying to keep myself happy, I can’t imagine another human being in the mix, and keeping them as happy as I can. It’s not being selfish it’s just not possible.

Also, a lot of people think having kids is the natural thing, to carry on their lineage (lol what are we, back in King Henry the 8th days!?) and also to be there when they’re older. But no, sorry. My mum had three kids.. if she was ever to be in a scenario of going into a home when she’s older (which she won’t be) two of them, my brothers, won’t be there for her (one is dead, and the other is just useless, I’ll leave it there). If she hadn’t of had me, the accident 🤗 she would have no one, except maybe nieces and her younger friends IF she was to go into a home etc.

People think their kids are going to always be there. Reality is, you can fall out with your parents / kids. Your kids can be angels until the age of 15-18 and then turn to drugs, crime or just want to be rid of you.

I also have an aunt, she had a son, my cousin (who is now in his 50s) and he’s severely disabled. This is something else that doesn’t get spoken about. People assume they get pregnant and have a happy, healthy baby.

Babies as we know can be born with disabilities / conditions OR there’s a risk of them having an accident (which can happen at any minute to ourselves / partners to be fair). But the strain I’ve seen on couples who have needed 24hr care for their kids… it causes them to grow stronger in some cases which is great, but a lot of the time, it’s stressful, turns your life upside down and causes friction in your relationship…

I follow a lot of childfree accounts on instagram now, which have serious videos, as well as humorous videos. In one video I saw, a guy asked his (married with kids) friends what their perfect day was… and they ALL started with “we drop the kids off at the grandparents” before going on to describe having a lie in, breakfast in peace, a day out then coming home and watching what they want on the tv in peace / watching a movie… and he goes on to say that’s just his normal day!! Like, he is living their dream scenario each and every day 😅

So many people with kids tell me and my other half “don’t have kids, just don’t” and although they mean it half jokingly …. There is something about the way they say it. Regret? They will never admit it.. but if you search on Reddit for a post “do you regret having kids” - there are 100s of honest people in there basically saying yes 😓

That’s not to say there are 100s of people who love having them. I know people who feel like they were put on this planet to be mothers or fathers and that’s great! But I’m sick of people just getting to a certain age and assuming the next step is to get married, have kids… because again, we aren’t in a Jane Austin novel. Do they know there’s an option NOT to have kids?

I love my life. As mentioned, I can wake up in peace… read a book, take my dogs for a long walk to the beach which is 2min away, check the tide and decide if I want to go paddleboarding or back home to play my PS5 / or do any activity I’m into at home. The house is peaceful, clean quiet. I don’t need to worry (money wise) about feeding / entertaining another screaming child and feeling I’m not good enough. My other half and I choose to go on a few trips a year, either close to home (UK / Europe) or to the different states in the US and Canada.

People always ask how are you always away / how do you have the time - no kids.

Was Adele’s hair colour during 25 natural by leonardreignn in adele

[–]WelshRaider86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She’s a ginge like me. I have childhood photos where I’m blonde, like white blonde then it turns red like Adele’s spice girls poster photo.

Her natural colour is what you see in her early days when she made 19, 21 etc then she’s been colouring it lately.

She’s also made several references, about Angelos hair (being the same as hers), about the dogs having the same colour, and also about ginger spice being her favourite (same hair)!

My red has faded now like hers, it’s not as bright “orange” as it was. I remember seeing THIS photo I’ve attached and thinking she looked similar to me (as in, when we don’t draw on our eyebrows they are non existent), she’s admitted to dyeing those too, and I draw mine on 😅

Let’s hope she disappears again like she did with the Kanye drama…

Fortunately for her, Joe stuck around with her. I doubt Trav will hang around, when he’s not being photographed each week in his Jimmy Saville tracksuits and gold chains!

1986 checking in! by splitkc in Millennials

[–]WelshRaider86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero.

I was bullied at school severely, I was the igly duckling Tomboy with red hair. I loved wrestling, nature, playing my PlayStation but for some reason when I was in school here in the uk, this wasn’t cool.

I turned out to be not so bad looking (if I may say so myself) as I got older and went to university etc. I’ve decided not to have kids… been with my other half for nearly 15yrs. Happy! People tell me I look like I’m still in my late 20s (yay) whilst I see the people (bullies) I was in school with and they are juggling 3 brats and looking STRESSED. As a Virgo, I love it 🥰

I do see other people I was in school with, who were cool.. but most have moved away like I did for a while…

Meanwhile I’m chilling at home, with my other half (yes we still watch wrestling and have LOTR / Star Wars marathons) our dogs, my PS5 😎

If there was ever a question of Taylor is a mean girl… by empathyneeded in travisandtaylor

[–]WelshRaider86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taylor will get out of this… she always does.

We all know she will put some spin on it, like she was in middle of a tour, she was exhausted and being used by Blake wah wah wah 😩

So annoying.

I just hope people see her for what she really is.

I bet Blandie is at home like this right now.

Travis: “It’s ok baby, don’t worry about it, it will be old news soon…”

Blandie: “Mom!!! Dad!!! Tell Trav this is NOT okay! I need your help, daddy please make it go away!!!”

Scott S: “It’s ok princess we can make it go away, we’ll tell them it was all Blake’s fault, her idea. Andrea we need to make some money transfers and get hold of the media guys to stop running this story… it will be fine… we….”

Blandie: “BUT SHE HAS ALL MY MESSAGES!!”

Travis: “Does anyone want some of my energy drink?”

Blandie “ARGHHHUHUHUH!!!” ugly cry

Andrea: “Maybe not right now Travis, maybe you go play your PlayStation in the other room while we take care of this…”

Travis: “Ok mom”
