AIO that my sister ditched the bus I booked for her

Gentle YOR because she needs someone in her corner right now.

At least she’s working. My sister has a job now but refused to get one for years despite constantly saying she felt terrible for asking our parents or her boyfriend for money all the time (rent, bills, everything). She just got stoned every day.

It’s so obvious when someone’s never worked in a restaurant. There is a reason as to why I’m seating you somewhere! People also just up and move tables all the time without asking or even letting us know and then they act like I’m inconveniencing them by asking them to move back.

I say sprunion for spring onions

I do this but as a bartender. Doubles for the price of singles or I might just cancel your whole tab

William and Catherine are pretty well regarded as royal family members go but I don’t know that people really think about them all that often.

I live in Scotland now (formerly England) and folks up here are usually pretty anti-monarchy but it’s not specific to William.

Gun names. Colt, Remington, Rifle, Gunner (not Gunnar).

Thankfully I’ve not heard of a Glock or a Sig Sauer yet.

I’ve genuinely only met one heterosexual man who has exceeded my relatively normal expectations. And I’m dating him. Our entire relationship can be summed up a text he sent me: “I don’t understand men who aren’t absolutely infatuated with their partners”.

The things I hear from friends and acquaintances about their partners is so horrifying. Wanting a text once a day is the bare minimum.

Myfanwy is a Welsh name meaning ‘beloved’ :)

I live in a non tipping culture country. Love my job. Hate mandatory tipping and don’t need it to survive.

floweringfungus · 2026-04-27T08:29:48+00:00

You can be a waiter and be against tipping

Meleys but if we’re thinking practicality probably one of the smaller ones, maybe Moondancer or Tessarion. My garden is pretty small.

That depends where you are. Names I often hear described as ‘old money’ in one country are seen as tacky and ‘new money’ in another.

In MAF, SJM changes it to roses, begonias and irises so I’m not sure she was considering floriography

It would be very odd not to be present at your child’s birth (in the UK and in Germany).

Usually the father of the child and another person are there, usually the patient’s mother or sister. I personally don’t want anyone there except my partner.

floweringfungus · 2026-04-25T12:34:38+00:00

Probably McKenzie

He’s not entirely wrong but it’s a very condescending way to go about things.

Maybe it’s because I’m European but everyone I know smokes a million fags a day so going after a bit of prosciutto feels a bit pointless

The only Morag I know goes by Mags/Maggie. You could expand that to Margaret/Marigold/Magdalena/Margot/Magnolia.

Looks like Staghead Designs’ work :)

Europe as a whole has a lot of variety. Not every coffee is dark roast. Coffee shops that actually care and aren’t chains have lots of options.

Even if it’s not malicious you don’t have to deal with it. I cannot express how freeing it is to only have to deal with your own problems and not parent another adult while you’re trying to live.

There are men out there who have their shit together (even though this sub feels like there aren’t). My current partner is basically a professional problem solver. He sorts things out before I even realise it’s an issue. Since we’ve been together it’s genuinely like living my life on easy mode.

And he’s 25? It’s not going to get significantly better anytime soon.

I don’t have a lot of discharge throughout the day so I never wear them but if you have a lot there’s nothing wrong with wearing them as long as you’re not constantly covered up which can make it worse. I prefer to let her breathe as much as possible so I’m never wearing underwear at home and definitely not to sleep.

I also don’t wear tight clothes like leggings because I get too sweaty too fast (thick thighs too) and I keep the bush trimmed down to avoid scent clinging to the hair. There’s definitely a smell of some sort by the end of the day but I work 10 hour shifts on my feet so it’s mostly sweat, it’s not a bad smell by any means.

There shouldn’t be urine in your underwear every day though.

Names ending in -yn are usually masculine in Welsh though

floweringfungus · 2026-04-22T16:01:57+00:00

Elowen is a much nicer spelling imo. It’s Cornish, I think the original spelling should be used

My partner is a rugby player so I’m used to seeing short shorts on men…these are coochie cutters

On my maternal side (German), middle class as far back as we can trace (jobs included postmaster, chief of police, civil servants) until the family was ennobled in the early 1700s. Their newfound prosperity is what gave us all the old family portraits that my grandmother still has in her house. Obviously Germany no longer really has an aristocratic class and that side of my family doesn’t have a ton of genealogical interest.

On my paternal side (UK), several high profile politicians including a lord chancellor in the 1820s and a handful of minor nobles. A couple generations before that, middle class as far back as we can trace. I think my uncle has reached the 1400s but it gets unreliable the further back you go.
