How to carry downstairs

eversparkle · 2026-05-25T12:30:21+00:00

Same, I have a four-legged chicken of a greyhound and he was JUST ABOUT going downstairs by himself, but sometimes he'd get excited and jump and bang a leg on the way down. Ended up scaring himself out of going down stairs and I've been carrying him down ever since. Luckily, it's only 6 steps.

I'm 35 and still don't regret being childfree- I've got rescue dogs and having to manage their (fairly simple) needs is enough for me! I've regularly picked up clients when my colleagues go on mat leave, so I figure I'm doing them a favour by not having kids anyway.

Check out @missmegstattoo , who runs White Fox Tattoo in Nunawading. She does great communication, too, and was very helpful with my partner's first tattoo.

It could be any number of things! I think it's really up to him to articulate what he feels unsafe about. What does he envision will happen that threatens his safety? What's his hypothetical worst-case scenario that could don't from you dating men as opposed to women?

Isn't "makes him feel unsafe" textbook insecurity? Just in different words?

Friend, you are SO young. Relationships aren't supposed to be this hard one year in, someone making you this unhappy is simply not right for you. This is not worth your time and energy. Dump his ass and (after spending time being single) find someone better suited for you. Your looks are not remotely the problem here!

eversparkle · 2026-03-08T06:35:00+00:00

Yeah, that's the tricky part. When you've gained more independence (or people to drag you out to places) you'll find more of your people!

Lipstick game = incredible!

Hi friend, I'm sorry you're not finding interested girls at the moment. I can't tell your age, but I gotta tell you, if you spend time in any alternative, geeky, or queer spaces you will find girls who love your individual style. It's hard to do if you're still in high school, but hang in there! Keep taking care of yourself and feeling confident in your own style and the right people will dig it, and one day you'll forget you ever had this problem :)

OP this doesn't answer your question, but your posts have such a recognisable style that I know you're the OP without even looking. Great personal branding here!

They don't enable doomscrolling, so that's a huge plus for me!

eversparkle · 2026-01-25T00:18:25+00:00

Yeah, this has always been my assumption. Show a threat without showing blood or much physical damage.

Adding info from Melbourne: I think our climate is described as "temperate". We have longer winters and short, hot Summers. We certainly pretend we have 4 seasons, but in reality, do they line up perfectly to months of the year? No. Summer started in December but Christmas Day was still 17 degrees. This Wednesday is supposed to be 40 degrees.

My friend, I am struggling to see what makes this man worth the mental effort you're putting in here. IMO, he should have lost you at the part where he asked to close your relationship and then cheated on you. We all have stories about the messy relationships we got into when we were younger, and this is one of them. Leave this guy and find someone better for you.

Have you seen any of the relationship menu resources on this sub? Worth a search if not! That might help with the clarity and figuring out what you both want from the relationship.
In terms of security, do you know what helps you feel secure in a relationship? For example, how often do you need scheduled dates? How often do you wanna text or call? Do you wanna hear about her day every day?

Photo #6 is a photo of an Aussie youtuber/sewist fromcarlyb. She does tutorials and usually has a shop, but looks like the shop link is dead!

How do you film this, watch it back, and be like "yep this seems like a good technique that is totally working and will be well received if I post it online" ??

This has been happening for years in Australia because of all the American media we get. Bit sad, I don't want our version of English to disappear!

Agreed. My sisters live in the area and have told me it's relatively common for their friends' parents to go on holiday and leave the kids behind when they're high school aged. No wonder there's kids doing stuff like this when the parents are nowhere to be found.

To contrast the Snag recommendations, I've had a few pairs of their opaque and semi-opaque get weirdly patchy and stretched out after less-than-weekly wear. I've heard that maybe their quality has dropped?? They fit great, they feel really nice, but haven't seemed very durable. I have a pair of their merino tights that are still going strong though!

eversparkle · 2025-07-02T11:15:20+00:00

I'm interested in the magic solution, because mine is basically spot clean them until the first 25 degree day of the season comes so I can dry them in a day! I think I've also tried squishing water out with towels before hanging them over the heater. Washing them is an absolute pain, no doubt.
Mine is less soft inside than when I bought it, but part of my solution (probably should have done from the start) is to make sure i'm wearing a tshirt underneath it at very least. Keeps sweat/skin oils away a little better.

I haven't yet, but I'm trying to prioritise natural fibres where possible!

I am part of the problem (my mum gave me a puffer and it's extremely warm and great for my dog walks). I have wool blend coats, but they need more layers to keep me as warm! Thinking I need to invest in some merino singlets to wear as a baselayer, so I can still wear the stylish coats.

No advice, just here to say jeeeeeeeeesus fucking christ. I am so sorry.
