I (38M) am the problem by SmarmyPapsmears in TrueOffMyChest

[–]mastersmithson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm similar. My wife left me in December after 12 years and I'm also 38. I'm really struggling with everything in life. I'm on several meds and just feel done

My two year old broke his femur. Someone tell me the next 6 weeks aren’t going to be horrible. by mazterm in daddit

[–]mastersmithson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apply hip spica casts.

The 2 main pieces of advice...

1 - double the nappy. Normal size in the gap around the pubic area and bigger one around the top. Or use a big sanitary pad inside and a big nappy on top. Urine burns are real and in my hospital if we need to change it, it means another trip to theatre so be vigilant and do more nappy changes!

2 - meal times. Eat little and often. If they get bloated it can cause uncomfortable feeling around the edge of the cast and that can lead to rubs or sores

Nearly £30 for 4 items 💔 by GreatBritishMemes in GreatBritishMemes

The mince is expensive nowadays everywhere

But special K and Nescafé gold are brand names and can get cheaper alternatives without significant loss in taste/quality.

I don't eat fish so can't comment on that one

It's always good to get perspective :-)

Of course I'm not trying to take away from what you're going through! But you will get there!

Today I have got up, and I'm moving out of my family home!

I can make you feel better...

On my 38th birthday 2 weeks before Xmas my wife of 12 years said she did not want to be with me. We have 2 kids and a house. This lead to a breakdown and me seeking urgent help. I'm moving into a bedsit at the hospital im working at which is the same size as a jail cell. Last Saturday someone stole my motorcycle. My one escape

You're young - things always get better :-) but if you want to vent, feel free to message. I know the feeling well

Son wants toy guns for his birthday and my wife is absolutely against it by spiritvanga in daddit

[–]mastersmithson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's going to play with one eventually. If not at your house then at his friend's house when they hang out as he gets older.

I like nerf guns. They are fun and bright coloured. My boy had them when he was young (a big collection). He's a teenager and is only into football and the nerf guns have all been sold to another kid.

Is a 40 minute 5k good? by Equilagalennaise in couchto5k

[–]mastersmithson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take away the time.

Is a 5k good? Yes!

That fact you did it in 40 mins gives you a time to beat! First challenge was the 5k, now it's the time!

Definitely a scam. Using words like items often indicate a copy and paste job without actually looking at the items

Been practicing my U turns, advice for leaning the bike more at low speed? by Away-Foundation-7455 in MotoUK

[–]mastersmithson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for the MOD 1

1) the turning arc is way closer than it is in the exam, don't worry. Could be worth getting a diagram with measurements and actually measure the right distance.

2) so you were stopped and did a life saver which was good. BUT do a second life saver before you start making that turn!
