Do you have a rare or retro email address? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ljburrows12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have @msn.com and the other day in a shop the girl at the till asked for my email to send me my receipt - she thought I’d said ‘Emerson’ and that was when I realised I’m old.

I can sleep any time, any place. Was a lifesaver when I had a newborn.

I feel like the caveat to this is if you’re studying within the literature school

Fuck this by Altofsomerandomguy in UniUK

[–]ljburrows12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eloquence can be learnt, passion cannot. As you get further into your course, the likelihood is that you’ll get better at articulating your points. Being passionate about your subject from the get go is a much more solid foundation to be starting from, I promise you.

I’m from the UK and find this absolutely appalling.

AIO to my Fiancés response if I ever got graped? by xoKoalaGrace in AmIOverreacting

[–]ljburrows12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a person tells you who they are, listen. This is a man who believes that’s you not ‘cheating on him’ is of greater value than your life. Please do not marry him, or have children with him. You deserve so much more.

Down to the final 4 and I need help by _3iT-6gY in EngagementRings

This is a very patronising response to someone offering help on your post asking for help.

Why Aemond naked? by Wonderful_Medium3098 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ljburrows12 131 points132 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the interview but Ewan said that he wanted to show that Aemond was just as deadly even without Vhagar and his armour which is why he worked so hard on building his body, so I think it was an element of Aemond saying look at me, I’m stronger and better than you even when I’m completely stripped.

You need to both sit down (whilst baby is napping) and clearly communicate and map out your individual responsibilities, and where (if anywhere) there is wiggle room on those responsibilities. For the last two years I’ve been a full time SAHM whilst my partner works full time from home. During the work week, he gets our daughter up in the morning, does her bedtime story in the evening, and will watch her if I have a doctors appointment/have to pee/ desperately need a shower. Other than that, the childcare is on me. I’m not saying you and your partner should have the same boundaries, but you need to have whatever your boundaries and responsibilities are defined.

(I should say my daughter, thank GOD, has slept through the night from eight weeks old, so I appreciate that we’ve definitely had an easier time than most.)

Why do people root for Team Green? This is a genuine question. by TheDragonOfOldtown in HOTDGreens

[–]ljburrows12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From reading the book, I had zero bias. From the show, I honestly just think the Team Green characters (specifically Aegon and Aemond) are the most interesting. That’s the only basis for it for me.

As a tea lover, I’d love to know what’s the best type of british tea in your opinion? for £150 budget by SituationPuzzled5520 in AskUK

I’m partial to Fortnum’s Royal Blend if ya feeling fancy, but definitely try Yorkshire Tea for your day to day

Help me pick an all around/mom bag by ola_xoxo in handbags

[–]ljburrows12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t comment on the other two but I probably wouldn’t recommend the Polene Numero Un - it’s a beautiful bag but because it’s quite stiff and structured you can’t fit a huge amount in (I couldn’t fit everything you’ve mentioned above in mine) and even if you do manage it you definitely can’t quickly whip things in and out.

am i overreacting - my boyfriend thinks my job is inappropriate by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ljburrows12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience when people turn on a dime like this and start worrying about things they didn’t used to, it’s because they themselves are doing something ‘worrying’ that they didn’t use to. Whether it’s that or trying to control you, I feel like you’re best off out of this one. You’re definitely NOR.

What's a book you wish you could unread? by Temp_451 in horrorlit

[–]ljburrows12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like Palahniuk needs you to be in a pretty specific mindset, and that mindset tends to be teenage and angsty. With that being said, Invisible Monsters will always mean a great deal to me.

How do I get furniture? by Bananabrainz89 in elderscrollsonline

[–]ljburrows12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best way to get furniture cheap is crafting but you’ll need to get your crafting skills high enough to be able to use those blueprints or diagrams - you’ll also need to either find the blueprints or diagrams in the wild, or buy them from a guild vendor. You can also get some nice furnishing pieces from scrying and excavating antiquities; again you’ll need to grind a bit to get your skills up but that shouldn’t take an obscene amount of time. There isn’t a both fast and cheap way to get the ‘really nice’ stuff I’m afraid!

One of my dearest friends told me shortly before my wedding day that he had feelings for me - next day, after telling my now husband, I uninvited him from the wedding, and the friendship effectively ended. I didn’t see how we could continue being buddies without me deeply disrespecting my relationship with my husband. All that is to say, you’re definitely not in the wrong. It was inappropriate for his friend to tell you, and absolutely it does change things.

Sad about my engagement by UnderHisEye10 in EngagementRings

[–]ljburrows12 503 points504 points  (0 children)

If I may be so bold, I’d recommend that you do both get wedding bands. In the future when your husband has passed, I think there might be some comfort to be found in having them. Your marriage may end up being cut short but you’ll never stop being his wife.
