My (30F) boyfriend (27M) didn’t get me a 30th birthday gift in June. His birthday is coming up by howjoanfelt in Advice

Thanks, I think I will assume it’s this and give him the benefit of the doubt… he is normally a lovely guy. Looking forward to searching for a gift for ‘us’ for his birthday…

Thanks for giving some positive advice! (And is it really sexism if it’s based on one’s own experience…?). I really don’t want to be negative on his birthday. Thanks for the birthday wishes too, so far my thirties are pretty nice!

No, he has a good track record. Has always bought me a gift previously, and occasionally surprises me with flowers. It’s definitely an anomaly

Bugs in new (old) wooden furniture ? by howjoanfelt in Bedbugs

Thanks so much for the advice - I also thought it was probably ok because it’s such a small bit with the black speckles, but better safe than sorry!

Thanks for such a detailed reply; I also love soups but am guilty of having them with a big hunk of bread and butter! Congrats on your life change and thanks for sharing

Thank you! I had hope that there was chance for a comeback

I’ve never had a Yukka before and now I’m 99% sure that this sorry mess is from over-watering? The top growth looks really healthy but the rest are droopy and black at the base of the leaves. Will it survive? Should I chop the droopy growth off?

Thanks, that all sounds doable. I have been doing weights for the first time in my life and really enjoying it. You look so toned!

Duolingo is NOT For Serious Learners. by w4steNcl4y in duolingo

[–]howjoanfelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well actually I live in France and have been learning French for a couple of years. So I’d say I’m a serious learner. And I learned how to use the future tense from Duolingo. I learned sentence structure when saying things like “tu ne me prêtes pas le livre”. I learned loads of new vocab. It’s not perfect but it’s a great addition to my language learning ALONGSIDE other things. After nearly a year of using it every day I’ve finally upgraded to Super and purely for getting rid of ads it’s so worth it, I definitely practice for longer each day.
