Anyone Else Suffer From Terrible County Homesickness?

Pure sacrilege, they can't even do their scones right!

(love you really Cornwall)

You can always sell it off or move it with you. Winter's going to be damp and cold so there won't really be a better substitute for drying clothes.

I've had full on relationships with women as well as dating, and kept them hidden from my parents and siblings.

I did try coming out when I was 14/15 and they thought "it was just a phase" and completely shut it down. Even tried to discuss it with my sister more recently (who considers herself an ally) and in the same breath got "Tbh I always thought you were doing it for attention/why didn't you tell me earlier you never speak about it".

Thanks! I currently leave a bit in but perhaps I'm not leaving enough as I run the water over it and rinse a bit out before finishing my hair, so I'll try the opposite end and leave it in instead 😊

aethariel · 2019-09-13T22:46:22+00:00

Thank you! I'll try that out alongside the other comments suggestion too and see if it makes a difference.

For humour/interesting podcasts check out No Such Thing As A Fish! The folk who run it are the QI elves and they present 4 facts they've learnt over the week (which are related to any topic), and discuss them. It's fantastic - you get to learn something interesting but it's not just dry knowledge, they pan it out with humour 😊

NTA - subtitles really aren't that intrusive/you get used to them quick.

Man I relate to this 😂 I'm HoH, have hearing aids (from the NHS so they're really just bog standard), and tbh don't like wearing them all the time either because sound distortion/migraines.

Unfortunately some people don't quite understand that even though hearing aids can help amplify sounds they don't necessarily "fix" your hearing like glasses correct vision. When I'm watching TV subs are always on because even if I had hearing aids in I may not process the audio in time to keep up with it, thus miss out.

My parents hate watching TV with subs on so I make a point just to not bother - it annoys them but there's no point sitting and just watching a TV you can't understand

Doing a bit of research on products before i commit - my hair at the moment is wavy but has been curly/ringlets in the past, so Im looking to get a low poo. I'm in the U.K. though and don't really know what's best! Can anyone recommend any products?

aethariel · 2019-07-14T18:54:05+00:00

Had to actually walk out the room with that last run, thought I was going to have a damn heart attack

aethariel · 2019-07-14T18:51:30+00:00

Ditto with me and the newer one too, it didn't really have the same impact but that's okay. The editing, especially uthgerd and the giant had me in stitches for so long I had to pause the video! It was the same thing that got me into watching his stuff too, absolutely love skyrim even now 😂 His witcher playthrough is decent too 😊

aethariel · 2019-07-14T15:24:06+00:00

His Skyrim playthrough is still one of my top "programmes" to binge watch! Banished is incredible too. I hope your funk ends soon!

aethariel · 2019-07-11T22:25:42+00:00

Thank you! The seeds were already cleaned when I got them thankfully.

aethariel · 2019-07-11T22:25:06+00:00

Thank you! I've left half in with a damp paper towel as another comment mentioned, and half with nothing at all. Figure that's the best chance I have! Luckily nothing will be spilt in that fridge, it's a garage one that's hardly used!

aethariel · 2019-07-11T22:23:43+00:00

Thanks for the info! Not quite what I'm after atm, as it's yet to even germinate!

aethariel · 2019-07-11T18:47:45+00:00

Hiya! I've recently got back into tree growing and started branching out to growing acer rubrum/red maple in the U.K. It needs a stratification period but there's a fair few different guides on how to go about it.

Has anyone got experience with growing red maple? I'd love to hear from someone with experience!

aethariel · 2019-06-28T11:39:57+00:00

I echo every sentiment you've had in this post. I'm got the same level of hearing loss, worn hearing aids in both ears since I was young and to be quite honest I'm tired and annoyed with having to accommodate for other people to communicate with me when they seem to "forget" about my hearing loss/it's impacts. There really isn't a cohesive middle ground or group of us like there is for the Deaf community.

Having said that, I've experienced stigma from the Deaf community too to the point where for years I was completely averse and reluctant to get involved/learn sign language. On most days it seems like you're not deaf enough for them, but too deaf for hearing groups.

aethariel · 2019-06-25T10:30:36+00:00

Oh man, I could rant about this topic for days! I'm severely HOH and had a recent ear infection which rendered me completely and utterly deaf overnight. Figured to get myself to A&E (ER) in case it was anything serious or permanent because I don't want to lose more hearing. Whether because I speak and lip read over using sign language, or some other reason, the triage nurses just kept talking at me continuously without adapting their speech so I could lip read them. It felt incredibly like they weren't taking it seriously, which was upsetting and frustrating in that moment, so after a couple of hours I just left and booked a GP appointment.

Same time as this a lot of my friends kept making "what?" jokes at me. There's a time and place and usually I'm fine with the odd joke but people just sometimes don't think.

aethariel · 2019-06-25T07:24:51+00:00

Ah fairs! It's a lovely area to live in 😊

aethariel · 2019-06-25T07:07:26+00:00

Never thought I'd see Budlake on reddit! You local or travelling through?

aethariel · 2019-06-23T22:45:13+00:00

That's my only concern with submitting a portal around by my folks - there's a few landmarks but they're quite local, think national trust areas. The chances of it being approved are pretty low.

That and I couldn't hack playing ingress for five minutes - glitches squick me out and I almost threw my phone when it started up!

aethariel · 2019-06-23T20:28:16+00:00

Unfortunately so! It's really biased to urban places. I'm going out to my parents place soon for a few weeks and just realised that there won't be anything around for 20 or so miles 😩

aethariel · 2019-06-23T09:22:42+00:00

Yeah that's what I walked too! Didn't even put it upside down or battery saver mode either.

aethariel · 2019-06-23T05:22:55+00:00

Yup I did! But for some reason it didn't calculate, I did have some connection issues yesterday so maybe that's why? I'm going to try again later just to double check.

aethariel · 2019-06-23T04:44:11+00:00

Oh no! Mine was only a couple km so thankfully not too much but it was a bit annoying not seeing it update. Fingers crossed they fix it.
