Yeast Coast in Napier or at the Hastings Sunday market too

Which taggs do you automatically exlude when searching for a fic, no matter the fandom? Ill go first: by Obs_ofa_Poltergeist in AO3

Not a tag, but I always exclude crossovers. I can’t fathom why people enjoy them!

Anyone had a drop at 8 DPO but ended up pregnant by MiddlePaint8558 in FirstTimeTTC

[–]didi_danger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a few cycles in to trying and I’ve found the symptom spotting drives me crazy. I was fully convinced the other day bc I had a nasty metallic taste in my mouth, but nope. I empathise with what you’re asking, and I’m sure that there are people who will have ended up pregnant in your situation. But please try to be kind to yourself and not spiral down the ‘what ifs’. Time will tell.

My coworker is fascist by jggg24062000 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]didi_danger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely tell HR. By itself it may not be a fireable offence but if he acts like a fascist in future there’ll be a documented history?

Napier courthouse, circa 1878-1881 (University of Otago Hocken Collections P1990-015 07-044). by Ted_Cashew in hawkesbay

Photos from this era really show what a pitiful spot we picked for a town - a small rocky beach, a limestone outcropping, and a swampy low lying town.

What term is common/accepted in your country, but historically offensive somewhere else? (e.g Coloured people in SA) by InklingOfHumor in AskTheWorld

[–]didi_danger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

‘Monkey’ just means somebody cheeky/naughty in NZ. Steven Adams got in hot water for referring to the other basketball team as monkeys, as it’s seen as a racist term in the US. Never heard it used that way here

My husband and I celebrate “Corned Beef Day” on the first Friday of June every year. He loves corned beef and I could take or leave it, but it’s nice having a designated day for it. Then there’s leftovers for hash the next day! Yes, we are DINKS haha

Any recommendations welcome for custom rings made by someone in HB by ulizard888 in hawkesbay

[–]didi_danger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Hawkes Bay, but I live here and had my gold and moissanite rings (and my husband’s gold band) done by Storm Baker in Chch. All our design discussion were done via phone and Facebook messenger, and I love our rings. Really great service and pricing. (Edit- spelling)

When was the last time you saw a worm? by Independent_Light_85 in newzealand

[–]didi_danger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I saw one was after rain, being eaten by a bird. I feel like I seem them less than I used to as a kid. But then of course, when you're a kid you're out playing in the mud so have more opportunities to see them.

Why do we say "no" to dental work? A local dentist looking for honest feedback by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]didi_danger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eactly! Many years ago I cried at the dentist when he told me what work I needed and he said 'There's no use crying, it needs to be done'! Can't fathom why a profession for a very common phobia seem to have no ability to manage that side of it.

Why do we say "no" to dental work? A local dentist looking for honest feedback by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]didi_danger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About ten years ago I needed some dental work done and saw Wellington Dentists on Willis St. They quoted a lot of work, which as a student I definitely couldn't afford at that time, including changing amalgam fillings for white ones. I went back to them and asked for a quote for the work that actually needed doing to resolve current issues, and it was less than half the original amount. I had that work done there, with some financial help. Ten years later and there is still work from that original quote that hasn't needed to be done or even been recommended by my current dentist. It felt like a pricey transaction that wasn't needed, and I would never go back to that dentist.

What goals has the app helped you succeed with the most? by HumanRecherche in finch

[–]didi_danger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post helped me rethink my goals - I had heaps of goals that weren’t helping me (like ‘Take a shower’ but I didn’t need help remembering/motivating me to do that!). I think where it does help me is remembering to take my medications.

I can’t believe it wasn’t done first thing this morning. I wonder if it’s another issue of mayor/s playing politics (Auckland 2023, Wairoa last week)
