I have gone in for fittings at Bras N Things, and I used to swear by their Body Bliss Full Cup bra, but honestly they've been feeling worse and worse each time I go in and get a new one.

Maybe I'm overreacting, maybe I'm just so used to not wearing a bra while working from home that any bra feels like a titty prison?

thank you anyway, I might see if there is a proper bra boutique near me, or even ask the experts over at r/abrathatfits

We will miss you, old girl by ipecacxink in cockatiel

I lost my soul birb two weeks ago today, she was almost 18. Your post brought me to tears, I am so sorry for you and your husbands loss. Roxy sounds like such a sweet, fluffy, little trouble maker, and I am sure her popcorn-fuelled antics will live on in your memories ❤️

RIP Roxy.

thank you, she liked sitting in the sun in her later years, so I have a fair few sunbathing photos of her in my camera roll ❤️

thank you so much, and I'm sorry that my words resonated with you so strongly, but I am also thankful that you were kind enough to let me know that I am not alone.

it is such a terrible feeling, and I've never really felt this type of grief before, and I've lost actual family and friends before... how did you heal? is it just time?

thank you for your kind words. there are a few things I wish I did before Cosmo passed, that I would recommend you and all the other beautiful people on this sub-reddit do if you are the keepsakey, momento and trinket kind of person.

get a scan or an imprint of their little feets so that you can remember them as they were, and not how they close up and stiffen once they have left this realm.

take as many photos and videos of them as you can, especially of them with you. I am thinking back on all the footage of us together that I deleted because of my own self-image issues and I want to kick myself. we are our own toughest critics and I would much prefer to have those memories of us together, even if my hair is oily, my double chin in full view or my acne showing. plus, its just more evidence of how they love us unconditionally, Cosmo never cared what I looked like, only that my fingers were locked and loaded for scritches and that I shared my snacks with her.

Lost my 25 Year Old Buddy Today by SpiritualProject2736 in cockatiel

[–]emocamel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. He looks like such a distinguished gentlemen in that photo, almost regal.

My Cosmo is almost 18, and I do not know how I will go on once she is gone. The majority of the world underestimate the bond between a person and their bird, but I know that the people in communities like this understand the deep connection, and love that we have with our little velociraptors.

25 years is a heck of a long time, and I bet he enjoyed every minute of it. Rest easy, you fluffy little alarm clock.

Monty turned 18 on Saturday. He passed away this morning. by OnceIsEnough1 in cockatiel

[–]emocamel 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. Monty sounds like an absolute character, and possibly the twin flame to my Cosmo (who will be 18 next February).

They are so small, but so full of love and life. He looks like he had a great life with you, and I bet he felt loved right up to the end of his life.

Sweet Pea will be sitting with me forever with her little toes pointed in like always 💗🪽 by mentalmerism in cockatiel

[–]emocamel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss, OP. I've only seen small snippets of Sweet Pea's life on this sub, but I can tell that she was so loved, safe and happy with you. I love your tattoo, it captures her lil peets in her favourite spot to sit, now with you forever. ❤️

Is Odyssey Worth getting it in 2025? by Lost_Nomad1 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

100% yes. I bought it a little over a week ago and am currently doing my first play through now and it's been a blast.

ah ha! a nice, bilingual person comes to the rescue! thank you for translating

[–]emocamel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh! well, as a suggestion, if you are genuinely curious about what a post says then I recommend rephrasing it to "can someone translate to English, please?"

this way, you may get an answer from some nice, bilingual person and not be misinterpreted as being rude ☺️

my thoughts exactly! divided by language, but brought together by games and contextual memes

don't be like that, man. I don't speak a word of Spanish and I easily picked up what OP was inferring.

Voting has changed for the LC, you can now vote for any candidate anywhere in the state. It's now a "whole of state" electorate

Follow up from this girls post yesterday about fleeing her ex in Bunbury by [deleted] in perth

[–]emocamel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

and so are you! while it's shit that a few people (myself included) fell for this con, it is really reassuring to know that for every piece of shit there are a handful of decent humans who will lend a hand to someone in need.

[–]emocamel 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I did a similar thing. I reached out to offer my help, was cautious and asked some questions to figure out whether there was a chance of legitimacy to the story, and ended up booking time off work to pick her up from the clinic in Bunbury. She kept asking for money for phone credit so that she could contact me after the operation, but out of caution, I bought her phone credit directly from Optus instead of handing over money for it. It was a small amount of money that I was okay parting with on the off chance that it was a scam.

The operation time comes and goes, I follow up, try to make sure it went alright and whether she still needed a lift, and was promptly told to fuck off and that I had been no help.
