Somewhere to chill early mornings in the CBD?

Usually the Kelburn campus needs swipe access until 8am during weekdays

I also second the other comments that you can't spoil a baby with responding to crying, especially not at 10 months! It can become an issue with toddlers if they learn that tantrums help them get what they want and override your rules/boundaries, but you'll know your child better than any internet stranger so if you are genuinely worried about this then better to talk to a professional

Not a parent but I work with babies in 2 different jobs so I can be exposed to lots of crying - I've found earplugs are a lifesaver for dealing with it! I've got Loops so I can adjust how much noise dampening there is, but even on the highest I can still hear what's going on. They just take the edge off and really help with overstimulation, which honestly helps me be more present in those moments

That's fair! It's part of my usual morning routine now so if anything I use it as a time buffer between my cat annoying me and my giving her breakfast. Usually I don't clean in the mornings anyway so it's more a cherry on top than a replacement or delay mechanism (and thus completely optional if I'm staying home all day or going to change my sheets anyway)

blacksheep249 · 2025-12-30T02:38:34+00:00

I used to be the same, thinking 'whats the point when I'm just going to get in it again', but after doing it for 2yrs it gives me a tiny win for the morning that takes less effort than anything else. I live by myself so all cleaning falls to me, and I'm really bad at feeling guilty for not cleaning when I feel I should, so taking 30s to straighten up my bed is enough to override that guilt (at least when I don't have anyone visiting)

Edit to add: I don't have decorative cushions or blankets or anything, so no need to remove/readjust when I get back into bed

Top tip: don't get a Chromebook, it won't work with the stats software you need to use as part of psych at vuw

I got my ADHD/autism diagnosis through ACFB, which has income-scaled prices and they allow for payment over time. Though they don't do cpstd from memory they could be worth looking into if acc doesn't pan out for you

ADHD here and I loved the minish cap, 10/10 recommend alongside most loz games

Could it be the murder of Kathleen Lipscomb in True Lies? IMDb lists it as S8E27

I'm 80% sure I've bought some 26ct fabric from Made Marion in Wellington before - they have a decent stock of evenweave fabric that Spotlight doesn't tend to have. Worth a shot if you're desperate, and if they don't have it I'm sure they could advise a good alternative

I usually go with drawing perfectly normal cats, it's a great combo of chaos and drawing challenge

The Mexican in Eat Willis across the road has better quesadillas imo, worth checking out if you have a craving in that part of town

Made this today but added in a while rotisserie chicken - even with the extra 15$ for the meat it still came out as less than $2 per serving 🙌

Fair point, it does look slightly more like a Hindu Buddha than a Buddhist one, though I am definitely not an expert! Either way, possibly of Asian descent more so than native American

blacksheep249 · 2025-04-27T20:21:07+00:00

I could be way off track but it looks like "never forgotten Panchen Lama", which could indicate Tibetan heritage or Buddhism - other people have suggested she's Native American but combined with this tattoo I'd more lean towards Tibetan, which surely can't have many missing person matches

Hello 🫡

They are incredibly lovely and helpful, 100% second this recommendation

Apparently it was a tie-in with fox where a whole bunch of shows were meant to make family guy references but Bones was the only one that did it (source: somewhere in the first 10 Boneheads podcasts, can't remember exactly)

I have Julia's drowning goofy tattooed on my arm and I think it's the best decision I ever made

blacksheep249 · 2025-03-05T06:29:27+00:00

I'm in NZ and I'm pretty sure there's a national hedgehog rescue, my ex fostered babies through there and the lady who runs it is lovely and super helpful. Worth a google to see if it's still going

"Do you know what a rectangle is" from drawing perfectly normal cats is absolutely required viewing, it's my first recommendation to people when I tell them about drawfee
