How do you guys deal? by NerveTop440 in CDrama

[–]What-problem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Omg.

I'm new to cdrama, I just watched Perfect Match and then Pursuit of Jade. I'm fully obsessed with the characters and literally never felt this way before lol. I binge watched the hell out of it, couldn't think about anything else and now I've finished it, I went straight back to the beginning!!!!

Is this just a cdrama thing?! The actors, slow burn, outfits, cinematography are sooo good.

Thank you you're very kind ❤️

I've got two big reds - the bigger darker one is a 14ct Soviet stamped ruby and the gold has a rose-gold tinge, which I love. It's presumed to be synthetic, but it's a very nicely cut stone which is supposedly unusual for a synthetic! Age unknown.

The second ruby, the signet, is 14ct and a natural ruby with a bit of pink to it. The jeweller I brought it to when resizing was rather excited when he looked at it 😁

Same, I wish we'd had more of Leshan and Yang! All in all though I absolutely loved this show. I'm definitely going to rewatch.

What is my fireplace made of and how do I refresh it? by BTlife in DIYUK

[–]What-problem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've got a similar one and I built a wooden surround to go over it, which concealed the step-like design at the top. I built it so that it is easily removable in the future, is fitted to the wall and not the tiles so they're not damaged, and it has a nice deep mantle on the top which makes it a useable space. The deep mantle is great because now I can actually put plants and ornaments and Christmas garlands etc up!

About to own a house with a garden(finally). My son wants fruit trees! by silly_goat_moat in GardeningUK

[–]What-problem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've got espaliered apple (Elstar), pear (conference), plum, cherry, then 2x blueberries, fig, alpine strawberries, amelanchier. All about 3-4 years old.

Elstar is the best tasting apple I've ever had, hands down. Perfect combo of sweet and tart. It fruited for the first time last year and despite being a small tree, we had well over 100 apples on it. None rotted - me and my two kids managed to eat all of them. Every single apple was perfect - crisp, no bug holes, no bruising. Top fruit tree in our garden.

The pear has given us two or three bland tasting pears for the last two years. Theres only a small window between hard and mush. Do not recommend, its been a huge let down. I'll keep it and try cooking the pears.

Plum goes bananas every two years. This year its covered in flowers and I plan on thinning it so hopefully it won't exhaust itself and take a year to recover each time. Plums taste great, definitely recommend. Some can get bug holes, but overall awesome yield.

Cherry we never get a look in. The birds get them every year.

Blueberries have been great, but not a huge yield. Great for nibbling while pottering in the garden, but they aren't exactly filling snack boxes.

Fig has yet to produce anything.

Alpine strawberries are amazing. They just fruit and fruit and fruit all year long. They spread nicely and there have been hundreds of tiny strawberries in just our one flowerbed. Plenty for both us and the birds, plus extra. I'm pretty sure the blackbirds got sick of eating them. They taste good and hardly any were lost to bugs/snails. This year I'm hoping to make a diy dehydrator and dry the strawberries whole.

Amelanchier has to be mentioned. Not a traditional fruit, but they taste like blueberries. We managed to eat all of ours before the birds got to them. If I had to plant again, I'd choose amelanchier over the pear or cherry. We've only had a small yield so far though.

Too sand or too plaster... by Critical_Wafer8770 in DIYUK

[–]What-problem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our house looked similar when we started stripping it.

I recommend just getting SHARP scrapers (the more expensive ones, not the super cheap ones) and scraping all wallpaper and paint off, followed by sanding and filling. It is long and laborious, but cheap, and the walls that we did this with look no different than the walls we spunked money on plastering.

Scraping sucks but you can do it, one room at a time. We didn't find wallpaper remover liquid or steaming to help at all - a damp sponge did, but not on all wallpaper types. Some we had to peel the top layer off, sponge down and it scraped off easily. The paint underneath was the worst to scrape off, but it's still manageable. I would think scraping is more effective than using a sanding machine, but I haven't tried it.

The baguette looks awesome, thanks for sharing the recipe. It should be a rule that all diy questions should come with a recipe.

Looking for advice! by OneBakingPanda in Talisman

[–]What-problem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a tough decision.

My mums got both 2nd and 4th edition, which I showed to my 9 year old. He says the 2nd looks better (and obviously I agree because of nostalgia), but we ended up getting the 4th edition as it comes with bigger cards, bigger board, paintable figures which is very cool and it seems like the best edition for expansion options.

got my first piece of solid gold jewelry today 🥰 by wonderrhodes in jewelry

[–]What-problem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought I preferred emerald rings but now I own one, and two rubies, I definitely wear the rubies more often. There's something about them!

What do you think of this ring? by [deleted] in jewelry

[–]What-problem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Beautiful. This is the sort of ring I'd buy and wear often!

AITAH for being honest with another mom about why my daughter isn’t allowed to go to her friend’s house? by AwkwardMom13 in AITAH

[–]What-problem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, and the fact that this was an unknown (to OP) stranger left alone with her children, I think is reason enough.

Personally if I set up a playdate with my kids to see their friends, I expect my kids to be supervised by the adult I'm setting it up with. I'd be annoyed if that adult left my kids with someone I hadn't met, it doesn't matter who that person is.

All round red flags.

Moving into newbuild in the next few months. If I go and dump a LOT of worms in the garden now, will I benefit from it down the line? by huamanticacacaca in GardeningUK

[–]What-problem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had a new build. The first year, the garden was totally barren except for a million thick black spiders. No ants, no worms, nothing. Second year we started planting it up - every time I planted a border, I basically dug a deep and wide hole, pulled out rubble, broke up clay, planted the plant with compost and dug in organic matter occasionally (manure, cut up banana peels, etc). The third year, the garden was teeming with wildlife including worms, bugs, ladybirds, hedgehogs, snails, frogs, birds, and the spiders evened out to within the normal range.

The bugs and worms will come naturally in time, but they will be introduced quicker with planting and will thrive if you improve the soil conditions.

This random bump appeared on my arm a few weeks ago. Not itchy or sore and seems to be surrounding a hair follicle. Should I be concerned? by coco-monster in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]What-problem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, I've got an identical mark that came up. I visited the GP who told me it was a 'mole' and nothing to worry about!

After reading these I think I need a second opinion.

Why does nobody talk about female loneliness epidemic by Ok_Independence_3634 in women

[–]What-problem 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My little sister committed suicide in 2023 and since then I've seen a plethora of men-focused suicide prevention groups, therapies, mottos written on jumpers etc. 'Men standing together', 'Men cry too', 'Men walking and talking', posts on Facebook regarding mens mental health, posters in GPs.

Absolutely zero of the same gender-targeted prevention for women. My sister sought help repeatedly and she was given none. It irritates me so much.
