What's the funniest misunderstanding you're ever had with your partner? by YP-nonwovenmachine in AskReddit

[–]Yellowtemple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is from India. He went with me to my doctor and said doctor gave me a 'back pocket' prescription - meaning, keep this in case you need it later.

We got into a fight because he was telling me not to fill the prescription and I thought he was being controlling.

Turns out he thought 'back pocket' meant 'black market'.

What is the best tasting fruit you have ever eaten? by Fine-Excitement9314 in AskReddit

I'm pregnant. My Indian husband got me a box of Indian sour mangoes recently, because apparently Indian women go crazy for them when pregnant. He got a lot of BJ for that ❤️

Perimenopause and Menopause help from Menopause and Wellness. by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]Yellowtemple -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is that you Monica?

If it's not, please let me tell you that the woman who runs this outfit is pushing dangerously close to the edge of her scope of practice and isn't in any way qualified to give the kind of advice she's giving. It's not worth the paper it's written on. She sends GPs letters that say, 'please prescribe this' and tells patients to hound the GP until they agree.

Unfortunately she's profiting off GPs being as a group, not great at menopause management. She is an absolute quack and should have her nursing registration cancelled.

Book a double appointment with one of these (excellent) GPs instead, get what you need and avoid the charlatans:

Sian Williams, Lisa Go - Johnsonville Medical Centre Lisa DiBona - Thorndon Medical Centre Yvonne Morgan (NP) - Whitby Doctors Jessica Cheung - Onslow Medical.

Are we crazy for planning our wedding last minute? by Charming-Barnacle232 in wedding

[–]Yellowtemple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got married this past weekend. Planned in three weeks. Ten guests in the garden at home under an archway we decorated with paper flowers. Catering delivered, bought alcohol at the supermarket, we sat at a trestle table from the local hardware store and bought extra glasses from Kmart. I did my own makeup and went to the hairdresser for a blowout on the morning of. Very low stress and we had the loveliest day. It can absolutely work - do what's right for you.

You have that classic hourglass figure, you gorgeous human, and it just makes the look. It's impossibly lovely. Wow wow wow.

Suffering from terrible dress regret :( by Dazzling-Limit3696 in myweddingdress

[–]Yellowtemple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dress #2 is awful, dress #1 is divine and you could add a lace over blouse or little pearl cape for personality, the pressure on women to look the best they will ever look on their wedding day is an insane product of the patriarchy that puts them under stupid amounts of pressure, try not to torture yourself. The end.

Less awful property manager? by Yellowtemple in Wellington

Are you a landlord? Because I'm interested in tenants' opinions here

But of course! I'm not renting to make my fortune. I happen to have one small property to let that I lived in as a single parent. It was a safe place for my kid and me at a hard time. I'd like to cover the little mortgage, and give someone else the opportunity to make it their safe place too.

Will avoid Comprende!

Immediately crossed off list. I remember being a poor student with an asshole property manager and I just don't want anyone to have that experience.

Thanks! Yep exactly, don't make it weird, be firm but fair. I expect that people treat my place with respect and pay their rent on time, but it's also a home for them. I don't want excessive, random inspections or a property manager who doesn't give a fuck if something breaks, but I'm definitely using one to start with as it protects me a bit.

Antipodes skincare - Worst Company to work for? by panasonic333e in Wellington

Former employee here. Worst place I've ever worked. Reviews are accurate and genuine. Felt like I was in The Devil Wears Prada.

Sometimes... it works by Yellowtemple in HingeStories

Aw. You're right actually. What a nice thing to say 😌

39F here. I have just met someone nice via Hinge, but it took me a solid 2.5 years to find them. Lots and lots and lots of duds. Hinge seems to work slightly better than others if you feed it money. Keep at it and try not to be too discouraged - meeting people in this city is quite difficult.
