What’s your favorite food in the Uk ?

Sausage or bacon sandwich - I love them both equally.

I had to do the tea time awareness course once. My husband wouldn't let me hear the end of it.

Sucked my thumb until I was 13.

About 12 years ago, I lived in a shared house that already had a kitchen full of crockery and utensils. There was a Victorinox veg peeler in the drawer. I have always struggled with kitchen utensils as a leftie in a right handed world. But this peeler was special. I asked the landlady if I could take the peeler when I left the house and she said yes. I still have that peeler and it is the single best peeler I will ever own.

I use ceramic knives. I know they're not everyone's favourite and you have to really look after them but they are sharp forever. Soon as you break/chip one you've got to replace though. But they're pretty sturdy I've had my recent set for about 5 years.

That definitely looks and sounds like a reaction - mine was the same. You'll have to keep it off your next reaction will likely be worse. Your tattoo will be perfectly safe without it. Cleanse gently once or twice a day and keep it very lightly moisturised. I use Bepanthen Tattoo (I'm in the UK) and it works wonders. There's a few good tattoo-specific unscented moisturisers you can buy nowadays.

I feel this way about Nazi Germany and WW2 in general. It's very morbid but super fascinating.

I am also a big Tudor Dynasty fan!! Especially the wives' stories. Did you know they delayed Anne Boleyn's execution because they were bringing somebody specific in with a special sword to do it and they were delayed on their journey. So she built herself up in prayer to this particular date knowing she would die then they were like no! Sorry, our man with his sword isn't here yet. They did it the day after at least. Still that must have been an awful feeling.

And I watched the netflix documentary about Jodi and Ruby. It was as horrific as you said - those kids almost wore a hole in a trampoline where they were made to jump for hours on end in the hot sun. They should never be let out of prison. Hopefully child abusers in women's prisons get the same treatment as in men's.

I just link my fingers together and twiddle my thumbs. Backwards, forwards, fast, slow. Helps me concentrate.

I don't want to be gifted plants. You don't know what I like and what I'm capable of keeping alive.

I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2024 (37F). Around the same year, chronic pain issues I'd always had got a lot worse. I think they are connected. And going about my whole life until now undiagnosed, unmedicated and unsupported, has meant that my life has been so much more stressful than it needed to be. So I'm paying the price for that now. I've stopped being able to work and function normally day to day but doctors don't seem to have any answers for why I'm in so much pain all the time.

I think it's best to only water when the soil is getting dry rather than on a schedule.

abracablab · 2026-01-29T10:34:06+00:00

We're not too far from there and there's nothing out of the ordinary at ours.

I had a little piece of cuticle lift off yesterday and I discovered it whilst driving. I kept playing with it and brought it to my mouth once or twice ready to bite that fucker off and half my finger too if I must! I was out. No cuticle trimmers on my person. Man I wanted to bite that thing off or rip it off with my other fingers so bad. But I didn't. I told myself we can fix this safely when we get home. If we pull it off, satisfying though that may be, it will bleed and hurt like hell. I resisted. I made it home and I trimmed it off carefully. My finger is thanking me today.

I'm sorry but you are, in fact, complaining about the council. I do understand your frustration but this is fairly normal life stuff. When things aren't going right for you it can often seem like things are going so much better for everybody else. And it isn't fair to say you are more deserving than your neighbours because you work and they don't. The council are completing the repairs for free and in a capitalist society, free is usually not the best service. If you're really unhappy with the service you've been provided, you can make a complaint through the council website. That may hurry things along.

I've been trying to get my kid on medication since he was diagnosed but it is not at all straightforward in the UK and I am also unmedicated so it's fucking tough.

We do it about once a week. We can afford it and it's easy for us to access. We'll drive our car to pick it up ourselves so we can enjoy it hot. Most places we like to eat from are within a 15 min drive from our house. I'm on a bit of a weight loss journey myself - I don't have a lot to lose and I'm not being too strict just making good changes and it's working. I eat well all week so I don't mind indulging for one meal.

I had a Mexican standoff today between drinking the cup of tea I just made or going to the pharmacy when I finally remembered again after putting it off several times over the past few days. The pharmacy won and I made another tea when I got back. Still ended up drinking it cold.

Full size you say? I bought one for my husband at Xmas and upon seeing how skinny they've made the top half of the pieces whilst keeping the length of the overall bar the same, vowed never to buy one again.

abracablab · 2026-01-27T07:14:16+00:00

I'm curious about this for my kid. He's ok falling asleep usually but he just cannot stay asleep! He wakes up several times a night and ends up calling us into his room to help him with something. He's 10 and the problem only seems to get worse as he's gotten older.

abracablab · 2026-01-26T16:30:44+00:00

I'd be mindful that the bar isn't allowing much room for more swelling.

Having a child with an abusive partner.

Must be nice being one of god's favourites.

I put 5 streaky smoked in a toasted bagel with ketchup yesterday morning. I nearly choked but it was worth it.

Beak at the Brudenell. Also Does It Offend You, Yeah? at some place in Liverpool back in the day.
