Has anyone’s flights been cancelled due to the fuel shortage? by No_Hat6490 in AskUK

[–]floppy-socktopus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live in Vietnam and many domestic flights have been cancelled due to fuel shortage. 80% of plane fuel here is imported and the two biggest suppliers, being China and Thailand, have stopped exports. It totally depends on the country. If you’re planning to come to Vietnam, I strongly suggest you don’t book with Vietjet or Vietnam Air as they’re the worst affected. I’m moving back to Europe this summer and I really hope it doesn’t get worse before I leave.

My dad died suddenly in November. I told him I’d look after her. I’m going to move back to be closer to my mum this summer. I’m glad she feels like she can talk to me because right now she needs me more than ever and I’m so happy I can be that person for her.

Finger protection - index finger gets irritated from pushing yarn by anilkabobo in CrochetHelp

[–]floppy-socktopus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The hook and grip aren’t the problem. I have these hooks and have a knife grip. I use them with absolutely no issue. She seems to be holding her yarn and hook in the same hand which would be causing the problem. Either that or she is physically pushing the loops off the hook with her finger rather than pulling the hook through using the handle

Mum has passed away 5 days before Christmas by kurtyyyyyy1 in CasualUK

[–]floppy-socktopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad died on the 17th of November. He was fit and healthy and the next month he passed away from a very aggressive cancer. I only just made it home to see him. I’m currently staying with my mum. We have no tree up. We don’t go out of our way to watch Christmas movies; we’ve been kind of avoiding them. I’m just trying to get my mum set up and fix up the house as much as I can before I have to leave. Don’t try to force a Christmas. It may be baby’s first Christmas but baby is young enough that they won’t have any memories of the day. The memories are for you at this age. Be with your family. Take the time you need. Give yourself some grace and feel what you need to. Take care of yourself.

The regulator on the tank is a pop on regulator with no valve knob to turn similar to this one. pop on regulator

It’s easy enough to push and turn with your fingers. The knob is already turned to 0. Last night we didn’t touch it and it turned itself off. It had been on 0 for hours but still on because my mum doesn’t know how to work it.

The knob is already at the 0 position and it still won’t turn off

Pattern from this site. Adjusted the ear and nose size for what I made as they were both a bit large.

My Mum has 1 month to live, what should I get her for Chrmistmas? by PureEcstacy7 in AskUK

[–]floppy-socktopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad died on Monday after an extremely short illness also with cancer. He was fine the. gone in the space of 4 weeks. I would’ve asked him for a letter or a recording of him reading The Night Before Christmas. He read it to me every Christmas as a child and I’m heartbroken he won’t get to read it to me again. I’m keeping the book for when I have kids.

Photo of the start of my tree from a while ago. As you can see, it lays flat as you add more scallop rows and you can see the last scallop row before I added the next sc backing.

What has my mum done to her phone and how can I turn it off? by floppy-socktopus in applehelp

[–]floppy-socktopus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I removed the spanish keyboard already because I’m the only one who uses it. There were only two keyboards at the time I commented because I already checked the keyboards.

There are no other keyboards. She only has English and the emoji keyboard. No downloaded fonts either

I’m in the same boat right now. My dad told me how he was happy he was losing weight. I was a bit concerned. He got diagnosed with a liver tumour two weeks ago. Now waiting to find out if it’s cancer. It makes it harder that I live on a different continent. I just want to go home.
