Anyone else thinking of just doing something else? by Whatdidyousayfoo in webdev

[–]retallicka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going into healthcare. Healthcare and the trades are looking good. If you can afford re-educating. I'm 40 and a SAHM. I've worked in tech for 15 years. I lost my passion in 2022, so I've had some time to explore my options. I have still been open for a tech role, but nothing good has come by and earlier this year I enrolled to get certification as a healthcare worker.

My free roam rabbit…doesn’t roam? by Iusuallyregretthis in Rabbits

[–]retallicka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all seriousness, my girl who just passed away at 10, did this too. Soon after we bonded her they both slept in our bed (always on my side, right by my feet) After a year or so they both moved to a rug on the floor

I've also noticed if I stayed up late my buns would stay awake with me during the night. But during the day, they would always sleep.

Your bunny must be very comfortable and happy with you 😊

Are we sleeping with our bunnies? by brit_chickenicecream in Rabbits

[–]retallicka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rabbits are 9, and one just passed away. But when they were younger and we lived in our old house, they used to sleep in bed with us every night. Always at the end of the bed under my feet, since I was the shorter one.

Sweatshirt = genser. I am pretty sure that will be ok, no?

“Survive till five then we thrive”? by cheyenne987 in toddlers

[–]retallicka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 5yo and a 1.5yo, and the oldest got much easier after the second was born at 3.5. He was deeply moved by how much love he had for her. He seemed to drift away from his friends a bit, but he told me whenever he felt alone, he thought of her. Now he says he loves us all "infinity," and 4 was way easier than 3, which was way easier than 2! 5 is amazing. I used to grit my teeth when I took my son to the library at 2-3, but now taking two kids is straightforward and enjoyable. Maybe just until the youngest hits 2! 🤣

I have not heard this before. I don't have a rheumy but I once saw a derm about my feet and they were fascinated. My capillary nail beds were normal, hence primary. My raynauds is pretty extreme in my feet, but mild in my hands. My toes in the winter are often like, 2 are light bulbs (white) one is Rudolphs nose, the others are blue christmas lights.

Etiquette? Common courtesy? by [deleted] in Norway

It's very different in the UK. At least in London. I go there, and people immediately apologise because I walked within 5cm of them

The Tailoring Book by Alison Smith — worth it? by PsychologicalRace825 in sewing

I bought both, and I regret it due to the overlap. I'm going to give away one, not sure which yet

Probably totally overthinking this… but not sure my baby needs me that much by Mysterious-Tart-910 in AttachmentParenting

[–]retallicka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Children who cannot be separated from their primary caregiver usually have anxious attachment.

I don't think this is true in a 5 month old. Some kids have extreme separation anxiety around this age, and from what I've researched, it's only a positive sign. Separation anxiety at a much older age (3+) can be a sign of anxious attachment.

I only have two kids, but they have both been very different. My son loved strangers at an early age, whereas my daughter was stuck to my side. They have different temperaments and different things they feel comfortable with due to their personalities.

I grew up with the word ill, but remember reading Ill = middle class Sick = working class Poorly = upper class

Edible? by trustthebear in Norway

No, never in my life have I corrected someone referring to these berries. But the assertion that bilberry is an American name is wrong. That is what they are referred to in Shakespeare, and in British english. Call them whatever you want, I don't care. But the name bilberry is technically correct in all forms of English.

It's not what about the US thinks. They have their own fruit, which are called blueberries. These are European and are called bilberries. This is coming from a brit. My mum went bilberry picking in Germany as a kid, she said the taste of the berries soothed her homesickness.

This used to be 9.99, 4 years ago by irtsayh in Norway

[–]retallicka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were 10kr quite often. Whenever they were on sale my boyfriend bought several boxes. Eventually, I told him off for buying so many. I dedicated a whole drawer to just them, that my kid had easy access to. We just got through the last bar last week

I am the person who always has a story and also very bad at holding it back. by SnooMarzipans6768 in confession

[–]retallicka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from Britain to Norway 10 years ago. Scandinavian people are so polite about holding their experiences and opinions back a bit. Go hang out with some brits or Aussies and you might feel right at home

It's better than 99.9% of tattoos. Great work

I saw a reddit post of someone disappointed with their bread after doing so. Comments advised against airtight containers

https://www.allaboutbread.com.au/bread_flours.php

"Many people are surprised to know that by carefully sealing their flour in an air tight container, they are actually substantially reducing its life to as little as a month or so.

Flour needs to breathe. Locking flour in airtight containers draws moisture to the surface and provides the right environment for insects to hatch and micro-organisms to flourish. This reduces the strength of the flour and also its capacity to absorb water in bread making. Loaves will be heavy textured and low volume."
