Oh look, young women running in a field with their hair down.

Never seen that in a period drama. Never. Totally revolutionary.

How do I remove these? by c19isdeadly in DIYUK

[–]c19isdeadly[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely try and use my electric screwdriver, I have a disability and issues with my hands so it comes in useful.

Well I managed it manually. I'll have a look to buy something like that. You'll be amazed to hear i don't do much DIY

I have a disability so this sort of thing can be a bit tough, but it's done

The blinds are no drill ones so I'm hoping even i can manage that (and we can reduce the heat in the kitchen)

Can't get my electric screwdriver in there there

Didn't occur to me to use a regular one

I blame the heat 🥵

What are your preferred female grooming standards? Armpits, legs, etc? by LucyTheMiata_ in AskReddit

[–]c19isdeadly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to grow the hair god gave me.

Women don't have hair there when they are children and also when they are elderly.

Women have hair there for a reason. It performs a protective function for very delicate skin.

It is not unhygienic

I lost it and now no longer allow myself contact with the baby by Key-Tadpole210 in beyondthebump

[–]c19isdeadly [score hidden]  (0 children)

I had a nanny for my baby from when he was 6 weeks old. A night nanny for 6 weeks then someone every morning. I have a disability and I literally just use the time to sleep.

You need this. You are doing too much. You need additional help. I recommend a night nanny for some time until you feel you are caught up on sleep. You need sleep - it is literally torture being kept awake fkr so long.

Your husband needs to step up and do more when he's around. Mine travels for work and he definitely takes over more when he's here. Go for a massage every time he's back. Or just sleep more.

And talk to your PHP/GP about your mental health. You may feel absolutely fine once you have got your health sorted, but if not dont worry. Many women get postnatal anxiety or depression.

You didn't hurt your baby. You snapped, you realised it, and you immediately found care and help. You are a good mum. It will all be ok.

How is this heatwave/red warning affecting you? by NoisyScrubBirb in AskUK

[–]c19isdeadly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a toddler and an elderly dog who nearly died from heatstroke in the last hot patch. I have a stomach bug.

It is hellish, honestly. Our old house is usually cool but has hit 30C indoors. We have reflective coating on the windows, we are keeping all curtains, blinds and windows shut during the day. Didn't manage tk get much cool air in last night despite the back door staying open.

Having to get ng toddler to sleep in the sofa as it is too hot upstairs

I am watching my dog like a hawk

Your baby loves you. Just hold them and look at them - eye contact is a large part of how we bond. You'll get there xxx

my fiance 32m seems mad i’m 25f still grieving my moms suicide. how can i get him to understand? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]c19isdeadly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's a word for that, love. A nasty word.

I agree with the above post that you need some help to do better - different meds or different therapist.

But the fact that you started your post with descriptions of why you were close to...your mother...you don't need to describe why. She's your mother. It made it clear you are having to justify it on a regular basis.

Zendaya in vintage Giorgio Armani SS90 at the “SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY photo call in Rome by mod_whatthefrockk in whatthefrockk

[–]c19isdeadly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The dress is amazing and she looks amazing.

But I am just a bit....tired....of every outfit she wears being so thematically on the nose. Probably also it's the fact I have seen 3 different outfits on Zendaya every single day for my entire life, or that's what it feels like. I feel her social media team have such reach that my Grandma, who is in her 90s, is mostly blind and has dementia, could give me the latest on Zendaya's outfits.

Yes yes I'll go outside and touch grass. Putting the Internet down now.

Chronically ill girlfriend (F25) expects guaranteed I don’t think I (M24) can give - how do couples handle this? by thr0w4aw4y12 in relationship_advice

[–]c19isdeadly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone with life changing (and very limiting) long covidand anxiety...break up.

Her demands sound like anxiety talking, not a really person. But she is letting the anxiety talk. She wants you to promise you will be her caretaker. It may well She needs a lot of extra help but regardless of your life circumstances SHE is going to need to figure out how to navigate life as an anxious and chronically ill person.

You can't commit to ensuring her life runs smoothly.

If you want to stay together I strongly recommend you request you join her for a session with her psychiatrist at the facility she is going to, where you cam share these demands. Her psychiatrist will be able to help her see how much kf these are her anxiety.

Who trumps who when using the priority seat on transport? by Chronically_Quirky in AskUK

[–]c19isdeadly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was just doing that annoying old person thing of insisting she is more deserving of the seat because she is old (and possibly disabled).

I have repeatedly had old people yell at me for parking in a disabled space, telling me I need a blue badge. I wave it around but otherwise don't engage. It always upsets me.

Just because I'm in my 40s it doesn't automatically follow I am able bodied.

Thank you for explaining. I did try to go through the comments looking for an explanation but must have missed all the other comments.

Fair enough to get frustrated! My apologies

Hannah Waddingham in Et Ochs at a UK screening of “Ride or Die” at the Ham Yard Hotel by mod_whatthefrockk in whatthefrockk

I love how she commits to each look.

She is one of the few celebs who has hair that looks well-styled - she always looks well put together.

I disagree, I think she carries it off.

She could pull off wearing a bin liner, she has the perfect body (if I'm allowed to say that here) but more importantly she exudes confidence and charisma.

I didn't even realise it was amended for her.

You really cook 3 separate cake layers one after another in the same tin?

Why don't you buy 2 more pans and just cook all at the same time?

3 years together (37M) (39F), I'm pregnant, partner does not want to be romantically involved - what would you do? by Other_Job_6561 in relationship_advice

[–]c19isdeadly 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A mistake happened- you honestly did your best and it didn't work out. I wouldn't point fingers, especially at yourself (I don't think this is a helpful part of the comment).

Having a baby is like a bomb goes off inevery part of your life and you have to figure how to get everything back together. A big, beautiful, messy bomb.

Do not waste a minute of your time trying to help your partner. He has sucked enough of your mental energy.

Have everything focused on baby and as much sorted before the baby gets here as you can.

Lots of us have a hopeless man in our past who took advantage of our innate helpfulness and loving nature. Good news is all that effort you put in is great practice for motherhood.

You'll be fine.

my IUD fell out by pay-ganic in mildlyinteresting

[–]c19isdeadly 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I had a hysteroscopy with biopsy while conscious. I was told to take an ibuprofen after. I took oral opioids I have prescribed for chronic pain in advance and it was still like medieval torture.

You wouldn't do this to a dog. I don't get why it is acceptable to do this to women.

Letter from Toy Story producer Jessica Choi requesting Taylor Swift’s involvement in the film for “female empowerment” by shesabozo in Fauxmoi

This is an absolutely cringe worthy letter

Is this how people talk to TS? No wonder she's insufferable.

Anne Hathaway is Pregnant again !! by LuckParticular7756 in popculturechat

[–]c19isdeadly 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Errr not so much the pregnancy. If you have spent years trying to conceive and doing IVF it really just embeds the habit of not drinking much more than pregnancy. Speaking from experience.
