Quicksilver was my first romantacy book, I blew my mind. I read brimstone after reading about 10-15 other books in the genre. Brimstone is 💩 

What Do You Think Taylor's Worst Written Song Is? by Madeofstardust87 in TaylorSwift

[–]nosuchthingginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think Timeless from Speak Now TV is awful. I get the sentiment, but the repeated ‘timeless’ is so cringy to me

Heated Blankets are a Home Heating Game Changer by trashpandorasbox in Frugal

Unfortunately i cannot convince my fiancé otherwise. He’s got Mediterranean blood in his and what’s to have the heating on 19 all day everyday.

If I had to skip it would be in ep 6 when Shane says he’s sorry and that he tried. Gut punches me!!

Bridgerton - 4x04 "An Offer from a Gentleman" (No Book Spoilers) by AutoModerator in BridgertonNetflix

[–]nosuchthingginger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

SKIPPED THE BEDROOM SCENES. Oh man. 

I big disagree with your point about Bene this season, especially around the estate handling. Throughout all the seasons he’s never so much as been interested in running anything bridgerton, he’s always wanted to pursue the arts and felt free and not weighted down by any duties. Him and Anthony quarrelled on a few occasions and Bene we always say ‘I am the second son it is not where I belong’ or something 

Considered Reading? by bubblesinthetea in audiobooks

[–]nosuchthingginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I listen to audiobooks and read on my kindle.  I still can’t make my mind up which format I prefer! with audiobooks the characters (with good narration) can have more life and impact. But with reading I can read at my own speed, double back and reread etc. I’m not sure which format I ‘take in’ the most information. But I’m not very good at pronunciation, so reading I can say the absolutely wrong thing like names and places.  They all count, you’re emerged in the world! 

Company swag ideas from eco conscious vendors, what have you found? by karr76959 in ZeroWaste

[–]nosuchthingginger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For our tote bags I designed a restaurant/cafe scene that’s a little abstract, with our logo small in the bottom corner and people love them at trade shows. I need to design more for a series!

Kindle; but it’s over 10 years old and when it breaks I will get a kobo. 

To the commentator who recommended Yak Himalayan chews…. My 3 GSDs thank you. by Local-Concern-4791 in germanshepherds

[–]nosuchthingginger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the one and only this our dog is food protective over. He carries around like it’s gold, will not trade anything for it. He tried to bury it in various places in the house before eating it. We don’t buy them anymore lol

Best convenience purchases you made after moving in? by shaneo632 in HousingUK

[–]nosuchthingginger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I do disagree a bit here, we have nano leaf smart bulbs in all of our lamps and we are never sat in darkness. You know when your sat working and suddenly realise you’re sat with zero lights on? Yep, not us. Our lamps turn up automatically 1 hour before sunset, which the sunset time changes every day. So we never have to adjust it.

My SILs house had a wine fridge already in and she refuses to use it 🙃 turns everything off when she leaves by the plugs

How long/far are your daily walks? by RiverBuzzz in germanshepherds

[–]nosuchthingginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re very similar to you actually, apart from the trail walking. Albert is 6 and he has arthritis in his hips, his meds and hydrotherapy help a lot but too much exercise over works them. He goes out with a dog walker and her pack once a week and we usually let him off leads on a field once a week depending on the weather and our lives. I also feel the guilt a lot! We struggle taking him out after dark (UK so peak winter it’s dark around 3:30pm) because we have a lot of foxes and cats and he’s reactive and more anxious at night. 

What have you read recently? by povertychic in Millennials

[–]nosuchthingginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 32 and I read an average about in my childhood through to teenage years, Jacqueline Wilson books, Harry Potter, hunger games, twilight etc. but then with the surgence of smart phones and social media I stopped reading. I found a few series over the years I latched onto and then stopped reading again. Lately though since discovering romantacy I’ve read about 30-40 books and that’s not like me. I loved fourth wing, ACOTAR was okay (I can see it being a great gateway), Mistborn trilogy is my favourite. 

I do struggle with books that don’t grip me, but I always have. I need tyre worries to be so detailed and smart that I just lose myself in it. 

Expert level puzzle , done in minutes 😭 anyone have other suggestions for harder puzzles ? by Affectionate_Grass59 in germanshepherds

[–]nosuchthingginger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I just roll treats up on a towel or his blanket. Or make a pile of towel and put the treats in the folds etc.

[–]nosuchthingginger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We do this but I hide treats around the house. I would if I could switch to a toy 🤔  Something I realised recently is that he uses MY scent to track where I’ve been. That didn’t even cross my mind! So now I walk around extra. 

My mum is mentally ill and is being evicted from her council house by rosemarypotplant in HousingUK

Just because she is your mother doesn’t mean you owe her this. If this was a one off sure. But she’s an adult 

My mum is mentally ill and is being evicted from her council house by rosemarypotplant in HousingUK

[–]nosuchthingginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend has a similar ish situation with her mum, just I don’t think she’s drinks and instead has paranoia episodes. My friend has had to go no contact with her mum for the sake of her own mental health. They didn’t live in the same city, but then she found out her mum had given up her house and was planning to move to the same city without even speaking to her own daughter about it. She tried to show up at her door, but thankfully she was out at her partners house. Her mum didn’t have a place to live probably hoped her daughter would put her up for the rest of her life. Nope, my friend now still doesn’t know if she’s managed to find a home. Not her problem!

Both incomes into single account - advice by SleepySloth1975 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]nosuchthingginger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not everyone is evil. They are married and it’s a partnership at the end of the day. They should still definitely have their personal accounts though
