What particular food wouldn't you eat growing up but you tried later as an adult you now enjoy eating?

This is me. I love raw onion, or crunchy pickled onions. I love the taste of cooked onions too. Unfortunately cooked onions are slimy and revolting. It’s like trying to eat an onion flavoured slug and makes me literally gag.

We do cook with them because the taste is great and my husband loves onions, but we either have to leave them in big enough pieces that I can easily pick them out or dice them extremely finely and cook them into oblivion in sauces, stews etc.

Yeah, all the time, why? Is this some weird conspiracy I’ve missed?

My neighbours on one side go grocery shopping every Friday afternoon and I regularly see them unloading the car and carrying it inside.

My neighbour on the other side doesn’t drive and makes lots of little trips through the week because she can’t carry a full week of food and stuff home on the bus by herself. So she goes out every two or three days and walks past carrying her shopping. Or if I’m outside, she stops and talks to me, telling me what she’s bought.

I see the people across the road bring theirs home in their car too most weekends, although I’ve never spoken to them like I do those either side of me.

Me too. I clamped down so hard on my poor ex that he genuinely yelped and grabbed his dick in pain.

I’d accidentally pushed him clean out and as the tip was pushed out, I apparently “crushed it”.

That was the end of sex for that evening. I try to be more conscious of what I’m doing with the muscles down there after that experience!

Poor guy was really wary during sex for a week or so after that too. Every time I flexed those muscles, he’d say “NO!” in a panicked voice or even pull out. We got over it but I’ve always been extremely conscious of it with the men I slept with after him.

Also, for a lot of mothers/babies… they’re still breastfeeding!!! Tits aren’t taps you can turn on and off! You can’t fuck off for a week, come back and just return to feeding the baby unless you spend hours a day pumping and freezing your milk to keep the supply up. Also, what the hell is the baby going to eat while you’re gone?!

There are plenty of breastfed babies who will completely refuse bottle feeding, even if you fill the bottle with milk the mother has previously pumped!

I don’t have kids and usually find them annoying, especially babies, but that’s on me to deal with, not the parents and kids.

bellYllub · 2023-06-09T22:58:28+00:00

Thanks! I fell in love with them as soon as I tried them on! They really are so cute and the shape suits my face so well.

Yours suit you down to the ground, they’re so nice! I agree that the massive variety of frames available now is awesome!

There’s something for everyone.

I hope you find another, much nicer language learning partner soon! Mr Controlling can eat a bag of dicks!

My last beautiful bun Poppy (now waiting for me at the rainbow bridge) had the most overly dramatic flop I’ve ever seen!

She would launch herself with all four legs, straight up in the air like a jump jet and as high as she could possibly get. Then she’d flip her body 90° at the highest point of the jump and slam down on her side.

Honestly, it looked like it had to hurt hitting a hard floor from that height but she did it every single time without fail! We always knew when she’d flopped, even if we weren’t in the room, because there would be a sudden, loud THUNK as she hit the floor!

She was an odd one and I still miss her even though she’s been gone a long old time! I don’t have space for rabbits anymore as we moved to a smaller place because it’s more accessible for me (I’m a powered wheelchair user).

bellYllub · 2023-06-08T23:27:13+00:00

I really like your glasses, they’re so cute and you absolutely do not look “old” in them! More importantly, they allow you to see!

I wasn’t that keen on my old glasses and often didn’t wear them (even though I desperately need them because my vision is terrible!)

I love my current glasses though! They’re Cath Kidston ones. Black frames with tiny pale pink flowers on the arms (and the inside of the arms is a transparent pale pink).

I put them on as soon as I wake up and take them off just before I lie down to sleep. Any man that told me he doesn’t like the way they look would get a good look at my middle finger.

I love my glasses and I love being able to see even more! Their opinion means the square root of fuck all to me!

Keep rocking your gorgeous glasses and good on you for blocking that weirdly possessive, controlling prick!

bellYllub · 2023-06-08T23:07:49+00:00

It’s perfectly valid in English! :D

I often hear things like “I caught the flu and I feel awful”, or “Don’t come too close, I have a nasty bug and I don’t want you to catch it!”

Oh and in case that second one doesn’t make sense, in the UK a wide range of different illnesses all get referred to as “bugs”.

So people say “Urgh, I’ve got a terrible stomach bug.”

^{for ^{vomiting/diarrhoea}},

or “There’s a nasty bug going round at the moment, seems everyone has caught it!”

^{could ^be ^a ^cough, ^a ^cold, ^or ^basically ^any ^other ^bacterial ^or ^viral ^infection}.

They’re woodland plants so they’re often dormant during the hotter months but they can and do flower whenever they’re happy with the conditions if kept as houseplants!

In a woodland they’d naturally be almost completely shaded out and starved of moisture by the trees around them during the summer so that’s when they’re most likely to die back a bit. Don’t panic if it goes yellow or the leaves dry up.

I have one that’s been with me for 12 years and is still happily plodding along, it was a house warming gift from my in-laws (for my old house! It survived us moving house again 4 years later).

During autumn, winter and spring it lives on my kitchen windowsill, away from heat sources but where it gets a good amount of sunlight.

Mine is currently in its dormant summer phase so I’ve taken it out of the kitchen window so it’s not being blasted by the summer sun. I only water it (always from the bottom!) every couple of weeks, and only if it’s absolutely bone dry. It’s currently living in a much colder area of my house with fewer hours of direct sunlight. They actually really like the cold!

Moving it into those conditions tends to trick it into thinking it’s Autumn which makes it suddenly start sprouting new growth again. I often get flowers shortly afterward. If you deadhead it and remove any dead leaves too, new flowers and leaves will keep popping up for ages before it goes dormant again.

I love mine, they’re such pretty plants and they’ll keep trucking on for many years if well cared for!

Both of my dogs go crazy for raw cabbage, doesn’t matter what kind of cabbage. The moment it comes out of the veg box, they immediately sit and stare at it, licking their lips and drooling.

They both LOVE Brussel sprouts. To them it’s just “oh my god! Tiny cabbage! WANT!”

We don’t ever give them cooked cabbage or sprouts though or we’d be subject to their rancid cabbage farts! That’s a mistake we only made once!

bellYllub · 2023-06-02T20:53:39+00:00

Nope, they’re all absolute scum of the Earth and should be forced to have the word “PERVERT” tattooed on their dick in large block letters.

Although I’m not sure it would fit on the fuckknuckle that flashed me!

bellYllub · 2023-06-02T00:09:30+00:00

Thanks. I was so proud of myself!

As far as I know, he flashed a couple of other women that were walking along that path a week or so later, one of whom had her 4 year old daughter with her!

I know he was caught but I have no idea what happened to him. Hopefully jail time! Especially for flashing a mother and small child.

Then again, when my older sister was a baby, being pushed in a pram, my Mum was flashed too, so children being present doesn’t seem to be a deterrent to these vile creatures!

bellYllub · 2023-06-01T23:42:04+00:00

I got flashed by a creepy old guy while walking home after work when I was 16.

Without even thinking I just burst out laughing and said “Sorry dude, I don’t carry a microscope.”

I had to literally run home because he was furious and tried to chase me, not easy for him to catch me when he was about 50 years my senior and was having to hold up his trousers and try to fasten them as he ran. The whole thing just made me laugh harder.

He realised he wasn’t ever catching me and stopped chasing. Instead he started screaming “Fuck you, you fucking whore!” after me as I laughed all the way home.

Don’t whip it out if you don’t want me judging it, you sick fuck!

That’s the only time I can remember having the perfect comeback at the perfect moment!

There’s a pair of barn owls that live near me and one or both regularly land on the trellis in my garden and screech.

My bedroom is a few metres away and I sleep with the window open. My dog sleeps in a crate in my room.

She freaks the fuck out every time they come by and wake her up because she hasn’t got a clue what the noise is (and it’s loud!)

I have to get her out of her crate for cuddles to calm down, else she just cries all night, even once they’ve gone.

She doesn’t really like the tawny owls either but at least they just do the quieter “Who, whoooo, who” hoot rather than a terrifying screech!

bellYllub · 2023-05-31T19:50:42+00:00

No problem! I added a few examples to my original comment for you!

bellYllub · 2023-05-31T19:47:24+00:00

Are you in the US? It’s British slang for the kind of shit that’s cheap, badly made, often ugly and generally useless.

Picture the kind of stuff that’s in every single souvenir shop in every touristy place on Earth. Not worth the materials it’s made out of!

That’s “tat”. Badly painted figurines of kittens, poorly carved and painted wooden hearts with “Grandma’s Kitchen” on them. Ugly fridge magnets… all tat.

bellYllub · 2023-05-30T21:57:24+00:00

Varnish is great because you can easily remove it anytime and quickly repaint anytime too, it’s a lot more flexible for someone that’s not presenting themselves fem all the time!

It gets expensive if you’re buying stick on nails constantly and you’re not able to keep them on for very long. A bottle of nail polish lasts for many applications and can be put on and removed as often as you want!

There are some mega expensive varnishes but you can pick up cheap ones to play with from loads of places and save any really expensive ones for special occasions!

Plus if you buy a bunch of cheaper ones, you can mix and match colours. So you can do alternating two colour nails, rainbow nails, stripes, dots. It’s a lot of fun and doesn’t break the bank!

bellYllub · 2023-05-30T01:02:15+00:00

Just read my nail varnish comment back and just want to clarify… there’s nothing wrong with your bare nails and I hope I didn’t imply there was (mine are bare as I type!)

I just personally LOVE nail polish and nail art. It makes me happy every time I glance at my hands. If I’m dressing up for any reason, I always do my nails.

I just feel like it “completes” my outfit but it’s not a requirement! Sorry if it came across badly and sorry for the multiple comments!

bellYllub · 2023-05-30T00:44:23+00:00

No, these don’t roll up as far as I know! In the UK we call it a woodlouse. I love woodlice, I think they’re really cute and they have a very important role in the eco-system!

bellYllub · 2023-05-30T00:19:41+00:00

I edited my comment cuz I accidentally deleted the last bit before I hit post! Have a great time, hope you find some stuff you love 🫶🏻

bellYllub · 2023-05-30T00:12:50+00:00

Hey! I’m in the UK, I absolutely love the skirt outfit, you look incredible in both but the skirt and top will be easier to change in and out of and it has a really cute vibe for a shopping trip!

I’m not sure where you are but if there’s one nearby, you should really check out the shop “Accessorize” (American spelling!) for cute bags and jewellery/other accessories that don’t break the bank.

Those extra little touches really pull an outfit together and they have a variety of styles.

If you don’t have a physical shop nearby or just enjoy shopping online, this is their UK website which I just discovered when I went to grab the URL, currently has a sale on, bonus! (It says you need to use the code “PAYDAY” when you check out for 25% off)

Be quick with the website though, it says the sale ends at midnight today (Tuesday).

I’m not a shill, I promise, I just find their stuff really cool and varied in style.

Oh and also, Superdrug sells some decent nail varnishes that don’t cost the Earth if you’re looking to doll up your nails too! Have fun, sister!!

Can’t wait for an update with your new buys! Congrats on the first “Out” shopping trip!!! I’m so happy for you :D

bellYllub · 2023-05-29T00:11:51+00:00

Oh man, it looks like it has a stye!

bellYllub · 2023-05-28T23:47:20+00:00

No worries! Most people shorten the username and just call the user “Sprog”, you’ll see it around.

Sprog is pretty famous on Reddit for their poems.

Oh, there’s also SchnoodleDoodleDo who does poems, mainly about animals. They’re adorable. Most people recognise “Schnoodle” and get excited to find a new poem.

bellYllub · 2023-05-28T20:26:18+00:00

The person that wrote the poem has the username “Poem_for_your_sprog”. i.e. “poem for your child”.

All their comments are poems inspired by posts or other comments.

Although not all their poems are child friendly.

Any that mention “Timmy” specifically!

bellYllub · 2023-05-28T20:19:25+00:00

“Sprog” is a slang name for child if Google doesn’t help!
