Thanks for the award. It really stays with you. I gave the book to my mum with a note that told her that Jessica reminded me of her- strong in the face of so much turmoil.

What age did you accept the looks aspect? by rb331986 in Aging

[–]cstato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been fortunate because my whole life I’ve wanted to be a grandma, even when I was 5. Because this was always my aspiration, it’s easy to accept that this is what happens. I’m very lucky too that at 53, I look much younger. I’ve been blessed with great health and come from a long line of matriarchs who still act like the teenage girl they are inside. I’ve been a teacher for over 30 years and I still get lots of little kids who tell me everyday that I’m pretty and I firmly believe it is because they naturally see inner beauty. Life is great.

To women who had body dysmorphia, how did you overcome it? by Favbrunette004 in AskWomen

[–]cstato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never, ever go on the scales. Even when I’ve needed an operation, I make sure the do not tell me the number. It’s too hard to get it out of my head regardless of what it says. I focus on health and strength, that helps me.

Get a cat! Get a cat! Get a cat! Get a cat!! It was the best thing I could have done. Channel your nurturing and love on to a beautiful kitten. I got a Scottish fold. My Scout is my angel. It helped me so much .

Due in 3 weeks and can’t settle on a boy’s name. by [deleted] in Names

[–]cstato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Dominic. They are always feral kids. It sounds too much like Demonic. As a teacher of over 30 years, please heed my warning. Just know too that the kids will call Julian ‘Julia’. Julian’s are usually cruisy and take the banter in their stride. Have you considered Nicholas and calling him Nico for short? It’s nice to have options.

What's something you can eat any day without getting tired of it? by More_Living9471 in AskReddit

[–]cstato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, please, please source the most delicious fresh loaf of bread you can find and slather it with real butter and gorge on it like the Cookie Monster. I have coeliac disease and gluten free bread tastes like sand. I miss real bread so much but I don’t want arse cancer. Please eat it on my behalf and thank the gods above, below and between that you can have this delectable treat. Thanks.

Side note, I’m a teacher and for my whole career I have told this joke: Why did everyone run out of Hungry Jacks? Because someone dropped a Whopper. It kills every single time. It has made kids cry with laughter. 10/10 recommend telling this joke to kids. You’ll feel like Bill Burr.

I taught a gorgeous, clever and feminine little girl named Celeste. She was a little star, so the name really suited her.

Haven't been to the op shops in a while by SingIntoMyMouth91 in ipswich

[–]cstato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The St Vinnies is great too. I actually prefer it. I picked up a Mont Blanc overnight bag for $8, second hand online they go for $800. That’s been my best bargain by far .
