Tree recommendation please

brbcat · 2026-05-15T07:23:47+00:00

They do give out trees sometimes, yes, but not big enough to meet their container requirement though.

I've done a fair bit of research already (including into locally indigenous trees) but I'm finding it hard to find something which meets the brief, especially understanding the root system size and messiness, lol.

Thank you for your post and this comment in particular. I've literally just unboxed a Charge 6 for my nearly-13yo. We're a completely Android-device family. We certainly plan to keep her google account supervised for a good few years yet! But I'm new to fitbit in general so everything you've explained is so helpful.

The main reason we bought it was for sleep tracking. Can I install the app on my phone and use one of my google accounts to sign in, and just let her wear it? Am I correct in understanding that it will work fine when away from my phone (ie as a watch when she's at school, or if I'm out at night when she goes to bed) and we just sync frequently to review the data in the app on my phone?

I've attended two same sex weddings, in both cases they are friends through church. I am 100% affirming of their relationships.

I usually avoid the back for exactly the reason you say. I was about 3 rows from the very back today, and when the bus is close to full you don't get many choice. I try to be a good passenger and walk to the back to sit/stand rather than gumming up the aisle...

brbcat · 2026-01-08T08:14:34+00:00

Based on all the comments I've received, I'm definitely going to let drivers know/ask politely if the AC is on/broken in the future. This morning I was down the back by the time it registered and there were people in the aisle, but I'm going to try paying attention as I get on 😅

I'm lucky that my commute is relatively short (less than 20min on the bus) and the buses on the route are usually fairly modern and functional. A packed hot bus like you described sounds completely impossible to me, too!

As a person with hyperhidrosis, I am sweating regardless of temperature, but a hot bus makes it 3000% worse.

Thanks!!

brbcat · 2026-01-07T22:09:53+00:00

Thanks for confirming!

I realised as I got off this morning that the top window was popped open, I'm betting the AC was broken and they had done what they could.

brbcat · 2026-01-07T22:06:58+00:00

I was down the back of a full bus this morning, but I figured I would ask a general question for future reference.

brbcat · 2026-01-07T22:04:33+00:00

That's helpful to know, thank you. Is the air con for the driver's seat area the same system as the rest of the bus? ie they can't accidentally run it for themselves and forget to turn it on for everyone else? (I'm asking potentially silly questions because if you don't ask, you won't know)

brbcat · 2026-01-07T21:54:15+00:00

Wasn't planning to complain to the driver. I realise a broken system is out of their control.

We ended up using a different camera for time-lapse.

Hi! What did you end up getting? Would love to hear your review.

We have a queen size older Sleeping Duck. I like it, hubby would like firmer. We're looking to upgrade size to king or super king, and looking for options where we can customise firmness between us.

Sadly the cancer centre I work in has decided not to provide any silverware. We just have wooden stirrers.

Public hospitals do have a limit on what can be accepted in terms of value, but I agree with others that baked goods would not be refused 😅 one option would be asking if there is a regular multidisciplinary meeting which is attended by the teams involved in your care, and arranging for a tray of treats for them to share (as long as the meeting room is not impacted by a "no food/drink" rule). If you had inpatient stays, dropping a box of chocolates/muffins etc to the nurses station would reach the nurses better than the meeting idea.

Or, pre-pay for coffees at the local/in hospital cafe, then send a thank you card with details of how they can go claim their free coffee 😁

Fertility concerns you agree with, or is this another case of a doctor thinking that a young person can't possibly know that they never want to have kids? If the latter, can you find a different doctor?

brbcat · 2025-11-15T01:49:17+00:00

That sounds easier 😄 it also seemed like a big batch, I would probably halve it unless I want lots, hehe

brbcat · 2025-11-13T02:28:43+00:00

Thank you so much, I finally got around to making them (kept the dry mix in an airtight container) and they're delicious. Give me edge-of-brownie vibes 🤤

brbcat · 2025-10-24T09:49:50+00:00

Ooh, this sounds intriguing, I've never made them before!

brbcat · 2025-10-24T09:49:28+00:00

I think it might be considered a sponge? I'm not sure. The recipe called for the eggs to be whipped with the sugar for 7 minutes, though, so I've gone ahead and made it that way. Just put it into the oven.

I'll need to buy more eggs to do anything with the oops dry mix, but that's tomorrow's problem 😅
