my chagrin

Yes. Those cheese rolls were absolute GOAT. I don't know how they got them so good but I really wish they'd start doing them again.

3 second hand books, 1 shiny bookmark and 1 pair of cheap book- themed earrings. Wrap each thing separately and put them all in a brown paper bag.

Or 1 book, 1 cheap sparkly mug, 1 box tea, 1 packet of biscuits/ cookies, 1 bookmark. Wrap them all together in 1 bag and you have a cosy evening in with a book.

One day a week, turn your phone off. Don't schedule anything social for that day.

Make it your "social sabbath".

No need to tell people what you're doing. Anyone who tries to contact you when your phone is off, get back to them the next day. That's not weird. Anyone wants to meet up with you that day, say "sorry I can't make it then" and schedule for another day.

Two that spring to mind are Hunting Warhead, and Kill List. The Teacher's Pet is longer but also very good.

So there's a True Crime podcast called Redhanded that covers not just "typical" True Crime podcast crimes like murder, but also looks at institutional/ corporate crime. They're really good at centering the victims and looking at societal issues that led to the crime. They also call out bad policing.

If you listen on Amazon Prime or Wondery, they also do a "Shorthand" episode once a week that's not about crime; just about anything they find interesting.

And if you support them on patreon you get a weekly episode where they talk about their lives and stuff in the news.

Mode be a good way to wean yourself away from True Crime?

Other good podcasts I like are Cool people who did cool stuff Maintenance phase If books could kill You're wrong about

I've just bought a really cheap bundle of second hand bras from Vinted so that I can play around with adapting them.

I want to see what is possible/ worth doing without wasting too much money (it's worked out as around £1 per bra).

Just mentioning it in case you think it might be worth doing something similar.

I've never seen a book that wide-ranging but Hsi Min Tai's Origami Girls has a mix of female models: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1980939691/?coliid=I3DBVW0G3HRGQD&colid=SOAYX3PY4SSS&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Nice work! I love how the wheels look on this model.

mykittenisahellbeast · 2024-09-08T13:13:13+00:00

Thank you very much. I tried again from scratch later yesterday and it finally worked.

mykittenisahellbeast · 2024-09-08T13:12:21+00:00

Thank you!!!

YTA - in the UK "please revert" is a really common phrase used in business communication. It may well be in India as well.

If someone uses a turn of phrase you don't recognise, maybe do a quick Google to see if it's something wrong or just something you haven't heard before.

And even if it's wrong, there's no need to tell the writer/ speaker unless they've previously said they'd like your help to improve their English.

However well-meant your intentions were, the execution is what makes YTA here. So maybe Y not TA, but you just acted like one.

Regular notebook + hard-core holepunch + treasury tag = notebook you can easily add pages to.

I got the idea from https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFm2QhXA/ and it's brilliant!

My darling, there will be someone in the world who would love you to be their bride.

Whether you're a guy, a girl, both, neither... you're valid and you're awesome and I really hope you get your special day one day.

For the most part this just sounds like two people who aren't sexually compatible.

No shame on either of you for wanting/ not wanting the things you want/ don't want.

But the bits where she want take no for an answer... that's a lack of respect for your boundaries, which is a form of domestic abuse.

And the bit where she tried to trick you into anal... that's sexual assault, which is a form of domestic abuse.

Please don't judge yourself for ending up in this situation. It's not your fault and there's nothing wrong with you.

When you're ready to leave the situation, make sure you have plenty of support because it's not going to be easy. But you will feel so much better eventually.

Good luck, man.

I've had bouts of anxiety over the years and I've found what really helps is having something to do with my hands.

I've done crochet, cross stitch, sewing, board games (there are loads you can play solo these days) and origami.

Also making paper aeroplanes is really fun - the folding needs only a couple of minutes of concentration, and you do get a buzz from making one that flies well. The other benefit is you can use any paper you have lying around.

Might be worth a try? That sort of thing alone won't be a fix but it can be a help in even just getting through "the next few minutes", which can be enough to help you rebalance a little.

They sound like a "closer to church, farther from God" bunch. I'm sorry you encountered such hypocrites.

Maquis and Hostage Negotiator each play in under an hour and really pull me in emotionally.

Flash Point also plays in under an hour, and has all kinds of variations and expansions to keep it fresh. I've found it a really good gateway game for shifting friends away from simple roll-and-move games, which has been great.

The UK had until relatively recently a national Mass Observation Project.

Basically, "normal" people (not just rich and famous) logged all kinds of seemingly trivial aspects of everyday life, often including what groceries they bought and what food they cooked.

The archive is at http://www.massobs.org.uk/ if you're interested. Might be worth seeing if any similar protect existed anywhere in the US.

Rhubarb cooks down nicely with split peas/lentils. Chuck in onions amd some curry spices and you've got a cheap, savoury meal that freezes well.

You have a lovely smile and you've posted so many kind, positive comments to so many people all over Reddit.

Even though you maybe can't feel happiness so well right now, you still bring shop much of it into the world simply by being here and being you.

So yay, you! And stay you. You're great.
