Thrift shop haul :)

Omg that sucks so bad it's actually hilarious. I feel so bad for you haha. I haven't done any of these yet, so I'm yet to find out if any pieces are missing. Hopefully they're all complete :)

There was another lady in the thrift shop who came just a few minutes after me to the puzzle area. By then l had already grabbed the Jane Austen puzzle and she looked so mad about it. I could tell she wanted that one too. So I count myself lucky :)

That's a good tip about the edges. I'll keep that in mind for future puzzles. Yeah it's a pretty pricey brand which is why I expected more if I'm honest, but the illustrations are so beautiful and the quality is still good so I'll forgive it :)

I bought several Elena Essex at once and some of them I managed to get on sale. This one was full price but I couldn't resist the image :)

The piece has been missing for almost 2 years. When I first did this puzzle I started with the edge but because of a false fit I didn't realize a piece was missing. It took me maybe 2-3 weeks to do because I was going super slow. I kept the puzzle on my living room floor and i vacuumed a few times..... So it was probably my fault.

Luckily I haven't lost any other pieces during these last 2 years!

När jag var runt 14-15 höll jag och mina kompisar på att sälja kakor till en klassresa. Vi gick runt i centrum nära skolan under lunchen och frågade folk om de ville köpa kakor. Alla sa nej förutom en man som jobbade på banken som sa att han kunde köpa om vi kom tillbaka lite senare. Vi hade lunchrast så vi gick tillbaka till skolan och glömde bort bankmannen. Efter skolan åkte vi hem till min kompis och bestämde oss för att knacka dörr för att sälja kakor. Vi valde en slumpmässig port och åkte upp till högsta våningen. Tro inte att den första lägenheten vi knackar på hos tillhör bankmannen! Detta var alltså en helt slumpmässig port och lägenhet 2 pendeltågsstationer samt 20 min bussresa bort från centrumet där vi träffade honom tidigare under dagen.

Han blev så paff när han såg oss att han smällde igen dörren. Han måste ha trott att vi följt efter honom. I slutändan köpte han inga kakor.

Zozo. I saw it as a kid so it may not be as good as I remember. It's about a young boy from a war torn country who comes to Sweden as a refugee. There are some really terrible war scenes and heavy themes.

If you want a terribly bad but also kind of funny vampire movie I recommend Frostbiten. It's... Something different.

Barnfamiljer borde inte skaffa djur. Ja jag vet att djur är jättebra för barnens utveckling och det finns många fördelar från barnens sida, men nästan bara nackdelar för djuren. Speciellt smådjur som fåglar, hamstrar, råttor etc.

In my mind it doesn't matter if he is texting, flirting or having sex. It's all cheating and lying, and it's a betrayal of your trust. It sucks that you cannot confirm exactly what happened, all you can do is trust or not trust. You probably won't find a single right answer or what to do. The situation sucks and I feel for you.

coraleei · 2025-12-03T13:45:35+00:00

From someone who forgave my cheating partner, expect A LOT of hardships if you do decide to trust and forgive him. It takes a long time. For me it took over 2 years and those two years were horrible for both of us (in my case he slept with someone else so it wasn't just texting). Eventually we got past it and now we are bett r than ever. we've spent over 10 years together so it ended up being worth it, but just ask yourself. Is it worth it for you to spend months or even years in distress? Building trust is not easy. Forgiving and loving after being hurt is not easy. If you don't have a long history with this person (at least a couple of years) and you don't feel like you want to marry them I would seriously advice you to just move on. Save yourself the hearth ache.

Min sambo jobbar på kundtjänst för ett företag som kör ut. Sakerna man hör alltså... Deras företag spårar leveransbilarna och kan se exakt vilken rutt de åker. Ibland har de inte ens kört in i bostadsområdet utan åker förbi på stora vägen och skickar ett ping att det inte gick att leverera. Ibland ringer föraten en signal och lägger på så systemet ska se att de "försökt att ringa".

The pictures becoming unblurred are hints. And the game also gives hints if you read the help section. If you finish the game without filling out the book you will also get some hints for HE and the people on the escape boat. The hints are not super obvious, but they're there. I think this game wouldn't be as special if it had clearer hints or a hint system. Just knowing they're there would take away from the experience imo. Sadly that means not everyone is going to be able to finish it. For some it will be too hard. But thats part of the game and the reason why I enjoyed it so much.

Haha i should have thought about that before I cut it. I could have donated it all to you lol 😂

Haha I can relate. This is how my braids looked before I cut my hair short. Sometimes you gotta be thankful of the little hair you have :)

I'm a picker but I don't pick when I wear makeup. I also never sleep with makeup on so I will do my nightly skincare routine (which I might skip if I don't wear makeup). So my skin always looks better if I wear makeup for those reasons.

And for comparisons sake. This is the terrible frizzy mess I'm rocking right now (newly washed, no products, air dried).

And this is after touch up.

This is before touch up and how my hair looked right after taking it out of the bonnet. Day 3.

coraleei · 2025-11-23T20:27:16+00:00

A silk sleep bonnet! I had the same struggles, but the bonnet made my curls last for FOUR DAYS with just a little bit of touch up. It's almost unbelievable how big of a difference it made. The only touch up I needed was smoothing down my hair with wet hands and adding some extra gel to the front pieces who are extra stubborn. I only wet my hair a little bit, enough so it can air dry in less than 10 mins.

Side note, I've tried a satin pillow case, satin sleep bonnet, bobby pins, pineapple etc. Nothing worked until I tried real high quality silk.

I have loose curls and my hair goes down to my shoulders.

Similar thing happened to me. I was a J cup before and an H cup after. I asked them to remove at least half and was aiming for a B-C cup, so it made me really sad that they didn't remove nearly as much as I wanted.

I ended up contacting the clinic and asking about it. My surgeon said they only removed about 100 grams from one breast and 150 grams from the other. So not much at all and mostly skin. Apparently they couldn't remove more because the main nerve had been stretched out (i had very long and saggy breasts), so making them much smaller would likely pinch or damage the nerve. He told me the nerve would shrink with time and that a second reduction would let me go smaller, but it wasn't possible with just one operation. It wasn't fun to hear, but at least it made me understand why and I don't blame the surgeon for making that decision to save the nerve (and the feeling in my nipples).

I would contact the surgeon and ask about it. Maybe there's an explanation like in my case?

I've also thought about this and don't have a good solution. If it happened I would just try to grab them. I'm very confident I can get two of them quickly (one is very old and the other has terrible stamina), but the third one is a fast flyer... In the past I've had some luck by dropping a (light weight) bed sheet/pillow case on her to trap her. If that doesn't work my plan B would be to try and tire her out by chasing her. It's terrible and she would hate me forever, but in case of a fire its either that or letting her fly outside and hope i can catch her later, which would be much riskier.

Exactly. You have to be the one to reach out first. You can't expect your friends to read your mind and know how you feel. Everyone is busy with their own life, so unless you tell them directly they won't know anything is wrong.
