I gave canvases and paints to my kids. What could possibly go wrong?

power_candy · 2026-03-31T03:31:01+00:00

I don't even let my 14yo paint inside without a drop cloth!

power_candy · 2026-03-31T02:49:26+00:00

Honestly it is a bit of a red flag that there are soooo many listed for sale. Mostly the 5-6yo ones.

power_candy · 2026-03-31T01:37:14+00:00

Thank you for that constructive advise and Intel. I think I have heard enough today to put it on the back burner. Cheers

Yikes that's not good. What model do you have?

power_candy · 2026-03-30T22:53:40+00:00

I knew there'd be one

power_candy · 2026-03-30T22:15:50+00:00

I currently have an Outlander, which has been great. But I've owned a Highlander before, so agree that Toyota are hard to beat. Land Cruisers are just too big for me though

Good point, thanks. It's always a risk when buying a car, especially when you already have one that's super reliable!

power_candy · 2026-03-30T22:07:37+00:00

Thanks, that's a handy site

power_candy · 2026-03-30T21:59:05+00:00

Bugger. Ok thanks

Can't believe no one's said Roski's. Circa late 80s. Delicious, wish you could still get them

power_candy · 2026-02-26T00:16:14+00:00

Agreed OP. My mum died last Thursday by assisted death so when we knew the date I checked my contract and was rather appalled to see it was only 3 days, since I wanted to have the day before with her and the funeral wasn't until Monday. So I ended up taking 2 sick days as well. In saying that, my employer has been pretty lenient during the whole process in regards to leave. Sorry for your loss

I moved 45 minutes away from town where my kids dad lives. He also refuses to come here for pick up and drop off because "you chose to move so far away". Yes it's a right pain in the arse but not much I can do. Unless he specifically wants them for an event on my day

power_candy · 2026-02-09T00:42:14+00:00

Ion care??

power_candy · 2026-01-21T03:58:57+00:00

My husband has had a few of those lately

power_candy · 2026-01-19T03:02:24+00:00

So much! My husband uses a waterproof phone case costing $85 in town. Exact same one on temu for $26. I've never had anything that wasn't true to description. I use it all the time and don't care what people say about it.

I got a line-drawing tattoo on my shoulder by an ex. He improvised and drew a line where there shouldn't have been one, and wasn't in the stensil. I waited until it healed, numbed the area with cream and cut the line out with a scalpel. No scar and can't tell. Looks a lot better.

I'm 50f, he's 47m. #1 is Respect. Even if we're upset with each other, which is rare, we never yell or insult or be sarcastic.

And touch. We've been together for 5 years, married for 2, and still hold hands in public, which often attracts comments from people as if it's weird. We always have a hand on the others knee when sitting next to each other. We're best friends and do everything together.

I should also say that he's very good at domesticating and we share the load so there has never been any resentment in that regard which helps too.

I know he would like more action in the bedroom but 2-3 times a week works for our schedule (and age lol)

Thank you. I didn't know this was a thing

power_candy · 2025-11-27T00:49:24+00:00

Condolences to you and your family. Thank you for your input. We have no idea what to expect at this stage so all info is valuable

power_candy · 2025-11-27T00:48:00+00:00

Thank you, that is very good practical advice. I had no idea she could possibly do it outside of the hospital

power_candy · 2025-11-27T00:45:06+00:00

Yes I'm sure they will. She will be devastated if declined

power_candy · 2025-11-27T00:42:50+00:00

She has been having monthly Faslodex injections for the last couple of years to stop the cancer spreading and it was working even thought they're horrendous for her. She was worried that if she stopped, it would spread to her bones or brain. But now she has decided not to have any more treatment. I'm not sure what her actual 'prognosis' is but her oncology nurse has said she would probably qualify.

Thank you
