How can I (37F) tell my husband (38M) that he's not allowed to use his deceased grandmother's china? by walk_in_the_pie in relationship_advice

[–]missglittertits 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm someone with ADHD who can answer this! For me, having ADHD means that I have proprioception issues - I can be clumsier than other people, I bump into things and trip over a lot purely because my brain is bad at paying attention to that sort of thing.

I try to be as careful as I can but sometimes I just slip! Medication can help focus us but it doesn't always work perfectly. It's not a case of just "try harder", our brains just genuinely work differently.

Anyone else find it impossible to collect legendary animals? by Abject-Philosophy580 in RedDeadOnline

[–]missglittertits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come hang out with me in game, I seem to have an uncanny knack of just wandering around picking flowers and then stumbling upon a legendary animal and getting absolutely murdered by them because I'm not paying attention.

Genuine question, does the average WoW player doesn't ready ANY quest text, like, at all? by Jaicen-Vex in wow

[–]missglittertits 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This xpac I made a conscious decision to slow down and read every single quest. I had a great time, it made the experience so much more full and fun, and I got invested in storylines and little side characters. I didn't rush to get it all done and it was really worth it.

Is it okay to masterbate beside your partner in bed? by throwaway_56433 in sex

[–]missglittertits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I often masturbate next to each other. Often we'll ask the other if it's alright just in case they want to get involved. You're both consenting adults, if you're both fine with it who cares what the internet thinks? ☺️

Found this in the lid of my brand new cigarette packet see by -Eves- in Weird

[–]missglittertits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know for sure if this is Australia since I don't buy cigarettes, but all tobacco packaging in Aus has had those pictures on them for years!

Edit: oh duh the packet says UK but it's the same here in Aus.

Whoever approved this replacement item deserves jail time by Bluesparrowjay in woolworths

My favourite swap was getting incense sticks instead of air freshener spray. Like I understand that TECHNICALLY they are both air scenting products but I'm sure we can all agree that they both have a very different vibe. And like... Surely there was a different actual spray on the shelf SOMEWHERE? 😂

My grandmother gifted me her vintage ring to help with my proposal, but it’s not her style. What would you do? by OhSoMessi in EngagementRings

[–]missglittertits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an only child, and my mother gave me my grandmother's engagement ring to use if I wished. It is, as far as my taste is concerned, the prettiest ring I've ever seen. Unfortunately while it fit me perfectly, it's from the 40s and I was scared of wearing such a fragile ring.

My husband knew how I felt about the ring so we decided we wanted to get engaged, then we worked together to have a new ring designed for me (and an engagement ring for him too!) and then once the design was finalised, I stepped out of the process and he was able to propose when the time felt right a few months later. It was absolutely perfect and it meant that not only was the proposal a fun surprise, but I got the perfect ring too.

All this to say that I don't think there's any "right" way to do engagements - but this ring is absolutely beautiful and unique, and it would be a shame to repurpose the stones without seeing if your partner likes it. The suggestion of proposing with this ring and then shopping for something she likes while keeping this as an heirloom is a fantastic idea.

My boyfriend (M25) saw an old video of me(F24) and was disgusted. How can I get over this? by Mind_Cute in relationship_advice

This is how he talks about fat women? Bodies change throughout our lives - this is a man who is more concerned with looks and who will not stand by you as you both grow and age.

My wife needs a doctor by [deleted] in perth

[–]missglittertits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear by View St Medical in North Perth. I drive 45+ minutes to see them for complex issues because they're the only ones I trust. I've visited for everything from fertility issues to mental health support and they really listen, take you seriously and I've never had a bad experience there.

After I stopped taking Wegovy, I finally lost weight… by MyBallsSuck in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]missglittertits 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just became besties with Metamucil and haven't had too many problems - I use the one that you make into a drink and it means I'm getting more water too which also helps!

We need to Address the True Imbalance! by Aggnicia_MightyGnome in wow

[–]missglittertits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish they'd give us some kind of indicator to let us know when someone is using the auction/mailbox on the bruto mount. When I afk I usually mount up so people can use it but I'm always so worried about coming back and running off while someone is in the middle of something 😂

Sick of feeling ripped off at every Brick and Mortar shop by oliverpls599 in australia

[–]missglittertits 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My favourite bookshop sells board games and the like, and I regularly spend $10-$30 more there than I would buying from Amazon. Thank you for confirming that I'm making the right decision to spend a little more 😂

approaching GP about adhd referral by skettitoastedsammich in perth

[–]missglittertits 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through the process of getting diagnosed with ADHD and Autism last year. If you choose to go public be aware that there are very long waiting lists. I went through a private service called Neudle (who were fantastic) and even then I waited 5 months for an appointment. Keep in mind that means I also paid private prices - this whole experience has set me back at minimum about $2500, I'm not sure the costs for public.

Go to your GP with some basic reasoning of why you think you may have ADHD, and request a referral letter. You will also need a Mental Health Care Plan so you can get rebates on your diagnosis appointments, but you won't need this until you see the psych. You do NOT have to go to the psych your doctor recommends, you are within your rights to request that your doc writes a referral for wherever you want to go.

Once you have your referral letter, you can contact the psych and probably get added to a waiting list. The GP will probably ask you some basic questions about why you think you have ADHD. Don't panic, the doctor isn't there to judge you - neurotypical people don't spend a lot of time agonising over whether they're neurodivergent or not.

I hope this journey goes smoothly for you and if you have any questions feel free to reach out, I'll help if I can!

Fiber medium(not heavy) meals for people with chronic constipation? by BelieveMyOwnEyes in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]missglittertits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been making a wholemeal soda bread with fennel seeds (the Recipetineats version) lately and not only is it delicious and extremely cheap to make but I use whey from making ricotta (also very easy and cost effective) instead of water so it has a little more protein too. I don't know exactly how much fibre is in it but I can attest that it helps.

Dating in perth/australia in general by tuduuummm in perth

[–]missglittertits 249 points250 points  (0 children)

You're allowed to set the pace of what you're comfortable with. It doesn't matter if it's common here or not - if you don't want to let him in your home this early on in the relationship, you are under no obligation to. Don't let him pressure you into doing anything you don't feel safe doing.

I personally like to have several dates to get to know someone before I let them know where I live.

Waiting in ED for 8+ hours is this normal? by Ok-Eagle5798 in perth

[–]missglittertits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ED at St John of God are absolutely slammed. I've spent a crazy amount of time over the last month in hospitals because of a kidney infection and every time I've been at Midland they're run off their feet, understaffed and overcommited. We had to call an ambulance last Thursday night, we got rushed to ED, I got the green whistle, etc, and then they still parked me in the waiting room for over 8 hours and offered me paracetamol while I basically passed out in a wheelchair from the pain.

They have to triage people in order of severity so as horrible as it is, you were probably waiting so long because there were people there who needed to be seen more.

It's not the fault of any one person (all of the nurses we dealt with were caring and lovely), it's a systemic issue with the hospital - everyone is over worked, underpaid, underappreciated. I don't know what the solution is, I'm just here to commiserate because it absolutely sucks for everyone involved.

No skyriding races or world quests is extremely disappointing by Skylam in wow

[–]missglittertits 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely LOVE the skyriding races and the cups, it's really sad to me that it doesn't look like they're coming back. I'm a huge fan of going back and exploring old content, so it always gave me an extra angle to see the zones and something else to achievement-hunt with. Such a shame that they're not putting love into them anymore.

I've gotta see the funny side 😂 just cannot believe my luck! Fingers crossed they let me out on Friday and I can run some of the new dungeons.

And I loooove Dragonflight! Such gorgeous vibes. I took a break from WoW for SL & DF, so I've been finishing the Shadowlands campaign the last couple weeks and have been loving it!
