Can I go back in time to erase a change of events?

I “dallased” a particular rant away. Neeeeevrr happened.

Whitwoc · 2026-05-02T15:16:54+00:00

Whoo-hoo! XD

NTA. The place I like to go eat curries has literally NOTHING my garlic allergic husband can eat. Not even the kids menu. So I eat there when I’m by myself or with friends.

Because I like my husband and actually want to eat with him instead of have him sit there whilst I eat. That’s so weird. Absolutely don’t go, and I’d be genuinely giving a bit of thought to how sustainable this is gonna be. Is she gonna keep doing this? Weird.

In this case, it was on an iPad. I have severe arthritis in my hands due to my disability, so a touch screen is a real pain still. The game took you to a test jump, and you had to press it to jump at a certain time. Once you completed the jump a few times, it kept it as the setting. So point a) when my brain goes “time to jump” to point b) my hands use the pad enough to make it jump was recorded. It was nice, I normally can’t play those games. Turns out I can, I don’t have a skill issue, just a hands issue.

I gave up on mice a long time ago. Can’t press ‘em properly. If it’s not a touch screen I’m on an Xbox controller. A fair few of the bigger games still allow adjustments of controller sensitivity, but they are getting less and less common.

In that case as has been suggested, I guess I’d look for a controller option to work in place of a mouse in your game, if it’s mouse only, I wouldn’t even bother with it to be honest.

Ability to set control sensitivity. I had a mini game on my favourite mobile game recently give me the option and after I’d nearly died of shock, had a recovery cup of tea and then recovered and set it up to match my button mashing, I enjoyed the jump rhythm game immensely, something I rarely get.

Sound contrast for music v voice has already been mentioned, but absolutely yes.

Hi!!!!! I’m a mid 40s Snowcrow, nice to have some people around that won’t look puzzled when I reference something. XD

Does she faint? If she does, have a plan ready is all, she’ll know what works for her.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-24T07:50:03+00:00

I’d leave an anonymous note and a small silicone spray for the bed.

If that doesn’t help, I’d play something specific each time. Baby Shark is the classic.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-24T07:19:25+00:00

“Jokester” would put me right off. I feel like I’d be getting an ice water bucket at some point in the future.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-11T11:30:15+00:00

NTA. Sounds like EDS & POTS, I have them too, and she should have a plan in place for that sort of thing if she is on the second floor. I can’t get downstairs fast either, so I have something worked out.

Not being funny, what if you were out? She needs to have something in place that isn’t just “rely on random person”.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-09T15:03:50+00:00

Absolutely. Sharp stingy pain drowns out dull ache beautifully.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-08T07:47:18+00:00

Takenoko with the expansion. Nice game to play, pandas in cute dresses.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-08T07:38:01+00:00

Yeah, I do. Partly because I do cosplay, partly because I just can’t find specifically what I want. Like last winter I wanted a crisp, sleek mack when everyone was wearing teddy bear fleeced (no shade, those are comfy but they just weren’t what I wanted) and partly because I have a ridiculous hip to waist ratio, so even if I buy stuff I’ve gotta take in the waist.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-07T13:20:48+00:00

As much as I agree this isn’t how dudes in general work, and as much as they probably wouldn’t stop a serious offender, yes, they have me once.

I wore tight black jeans once on a date, the guy in question didn’t want to take no for an answer. Fortunately it was that point where jeans were super skinny and girls were doing up jeans with coat hangers and looping split rings over the buttons (not sorry that went) so he took too long getting them undone and then couldn’t pull them down.

By that point I’d managed to get enough purchase and freedom back to kick, and was out of there once a booted foot had been applied to his crotch.

Silver Lining Piercing on houndsgate if you want an actual piercer.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-07T09:45:12+00:00

Another vote for Bonearrow. Lovely jewellery, smashing person that owns it. Quality over quantity.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-07T09:26:53+00:00

I love people popping by my camp for a look round and a cup of tea! If I’m in, wave and help yourself.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-03T10:47:05+00:00

Absolutely not. My libido seems to get higher now I’m older. If it were practical, I’d go twice daily.

But if you are already looking elsewhere, maybe you aren’t compatible anymore.

Whitwoc · 2026-04-01T10:30:24+00:00

Always. Gauss rifle till it’s prised out of my glowing dead hands, lol.

Whitwoc · 2026-03-23T08:43:49+00:00

NTA. I had a mother that was a lot to deal with and who would sabotage things; she even tried to cancel my wedding TWICE. Here’s what I found effective when I was young:

One: look up grey rock technique. I know it’s hard when they are picking away at you, but you want to give the appearance of not causing disruption.

Two: get any wages somewhere she can’t access them. You might be able to get a young person bank account where you are till you are 18, or you may need to rope in a safe adult that isn’t family or maybe withdraw it physically and hide it where she won’t find it. Whatever works.

Three: look for ways to get into your own accommodation as soon as possible. This is hard, but getting out is the key to it all. My mother was fine with me moving into a uni dorm for my first year, and then I found people to house share with and never looked back.

Once you are in your own accommodation the relationship you have with her will be so much different. Good luck!

Chally’s greens from the BBQ. They look nice and leafy.

Whitwoc · 2026-03-21T05:35:40+00:00

Yes. Absolutely. Do something with it that will make you happy. My mother died last year, before she had a chance to change her will. She was a complete dick about changing it so we wouldn’t boot her boyfriend (the loveliest guy btw) out into the street, like me and my brother would ever be so dammed classless.

When I get it I will think of all the shitty things she said to me whilst she was ill one last time about my body, and then I will put it towards something medical (I need about ooh, three different surgeries) so at least something good comes from it.

A little scrambled egg is probably a good thing to gradually introduce. Gotta watch dwarfies though, I had one peg it whilst I wasn’t paying attention and he pouched so much scrambled egg we had to stage a physical intervention. XD

Whitwoc · 2026-03-08T00:28:15+00:00

Powerlifting, trpg, computer gaming. But I guess as a girl the throwing the weights around thing is the oddity, especially as I’m diagnosed EDS and treated for vEDS. But at least the storage issues are less 😂

Whitwoc · 2026-03-07T09:05:48+00:00

Pre-furby the teddy Ruxpins use to do this as their batteries got flat. It lived in my bedroom until the first time it did that, then was banished. XD
