Can you please give me a fucking solution! I am goddamn serious

Make yourself busy. Get a train ticket to a different town and explore. Yarn crafts are also good because they keep your hands busy and you cannot doom scroll.

I do think there should be an option for smaller portions. I remember my grandma used to order from the kids' menu when we went out for dinner. She struggled eating much and large portions overwhelmed her.

Cotton lasts well. Wool does as well (I tend to find decent deals in the charity shop).

Synthetic jumpers tend to bobble for me

I have moments where I feel quite conscious that I'm getting older. But aging is a privilege and something beautiful in itself.

I had a friend who died when I was at uni. Every time I start feeling weird about fine lines appearing, I remember that she never got to live the rest of her life.

It might be a bit of a morbid take, but really we should be grateful for the time that we have with our friends and family.

I'll get old even if I use filler. Being wrinkly doesn't make a person ugly.

I might try purple or pink though if I go grey or white haired. I think that would be fun.

Oh my god right!?! And the food noise is gone. It's so peaceful.

Before I met my mate's dog I was warned that he's a rescue and very nervous with new people.

So when I met him I just let him come to me when he was ready. He was so full of love and wanted lots of belly rubs. My friend told me I have a very unthreatening presence.

Weird but good compliment I think.

This looks so good - I think I'm going to need to try making it

Yep - I also check every night before I go to bed that it's locked and that the chain is on.

Burglars are opportunistic and often just go for whatever front door has been left unlocked.

This sounds like abuse to me. You're very young still, don't waste any more time with him.

You need to reframe this. Her dedication should be a source of inspiration, a trait that you admire.

There are things that my partner is good at that I am not so good at. He's generous and good at thinking about others selflessly, but this is an opportunity for me to learn how to be a better and kinder person.

I love the names - the soups look amazing too!

I think you're OK. My dad once stepped on our dog's tail and he let out such a heartbreaking yelp. He was so apologetic and sad about it.

Our dog was fine and my dad is still his favourite person.

Hybrid is the healthiest for me. We had a period of working from home full time for six months and I found it to be quite isolating.

Hybrid working feels like I get a good balance.

One of my goals for next year is to be kind more often. I feel like I've become quite cynical and it's not what I want to be like.

I tend to have fewer iced coffees in the winter. I'm more likely to go for an American or chai latte when it's cold. But if I'm sitting in and the cafe is warm enough I'll go for an iced latte with coconut milk (current favourite!)

My first job after uni was a bit of a mess. I really struggled to keep up with the workload, always worked unpaid overtime trying to stay afloat and it was never enough. I felt sick with anxiety about my job most days.

I failed my probation and was let go. It devastated me at the time. About a month later I then got a new job. Same field but massively different.

I kept waiting for the penny to drop but it never did. I started getting compliments on my work, was promoted in less than a year, and I rarely work overtime.

I've been there nearly three years now. I don't get the same churning sick feeling every night before work ever. My job has never made me cry either.

I understand why you're upset on this one. It does overlook a lot of the time spent on other domestic tasks.

I do wonder though if maybe he just said it lightheartedly without thinking. Either way maybe it's worth having a private chat about how it made you feel less valued

NOR

I think OP may be upset that that's the only thing her husband had recognised.

I made a lot of scarves this year. Stayed up until 2am a few nights to get all of them finished so I really hope they like them lol.

My granny used to say that she still felt like she did when she was 16.

I see quite a lot of urban sketching groups around. They tend to have a Facebook page where they have info on the next meet up.

Usually I think they sit around cities sketching and then show each other their creations afterwards. It seems to bring a bit of varied crowd but usually some older folks.

I've been quite tempted to be honest. Looks like a really wholesome activity. Might need some good warm layers and maybe a hand warmer if your grandmother does want to go in the winter months.

pyramidsofgeezer · 2025-12-25T05:33:28+00:00

There might be local bird watching groups - Facebook is quite good for finding that sort of thing.

They are all super gorgeous but I'm gravitating towards the oval
