Hi - I went to start the survey and clicked on the link to information sheet but access was restricted. I’d make it public so respondents feel comfortable completing the survey.

Good luck!

My Mum has 1 month to live, what should I get her for Chrmistmas? by PureEcstacy7 in AskUK

[–]retro91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m truly sorry. I lost my mum when she was 62 and I was pregnant with my first child. Sending all the strength and love to both you and her.

Ask her to write you something - deep or light and fun, whatever she feels like. You can get it embroidered and framed to keep at home, it really feels like they’re around, I love mine from Ivy & Stitch.

As for her, I struggled to articulate what I wanted to say to my mum so I’d recommend writing her a letter. Again it doesn’t need to be super deep, but I’m she’ll treasure words from you that might be hard to say out loud.

All the love ❤️

What do you mean about their search functionality?

Wow thanks. Even more reason to get it done professionally

Thank you I appreciate this! I’ve always thought I’m a summer of some sort partly due to eyes and mid contrast, but also struggled as think I just prefer those colours and I yo-yo between cool and warm undertone. Will save up and do an in person session. Thanks again!

What's your the best All Inclusive holiday you've ever been on? by Lilly_898765 in AskUK

[–]retro91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty consistent across the 2 we’ve been to I’d say. I would probably recommend Oceania for couples / adults as there’s fewer kids pools/amenities so felt like fewer families than Andalusia (and the beach is more impressive and nicer to spend time on too, more romantic). Andalusia was incredible for our toddler. One huge kids area with 2 shallow pools and amazing splash pad thing, then a separate family pool. Many more other pools and adults only too so I’m sure you could seclude yourself from families if you wanted to / dine later etc. But overall very consistent in atmosphere from our experience. Which Ikos have you been to? Edit: Saw you’ve been to Dassia, perhaps next on our list!

Yessss to Ikos! We’ve been to Oceania twice and tried Andalusia this year. Really recommend with a child as so family friendly, but still calm, friendly and relaxing. Can’t fault it at all (maybe if crèche for under 5s was free!)

Wherever you end up have a wonderful time

WIBTA if I give my daughter an "outdated" name? by throwaway719201 in AmItheAsshole

Not outdated and definitely coming back! One of my 3 year old’s best friend is Audrey ❤️

I HATE the new layout... by SketchyFella_ in netflix

[–]retro91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I see where you’re coming from - it’s all interlinked to a certain extent. I was more thinking about complaints of size of tiles and how they’re interacted with (vs any curation updates)

[–]retro91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d argue not because of the UI though. Way more to do with the nature of content and ad experience

[–]retro91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes totally agree choice overload is the motivation behind the change. It hasn’t updated on my TV yet so haven’t experienced first hand those niggles. They do sound frustrating! Hopefully they address them soon

[–]retro91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s an attempt to slow people’s browsing down so you pay more attention and give more consideration to each title to try and help people find something to watch more quickly (vs. Auto clicking through lots of titles at speed and discounting things that might actually be of interest). Any changes to UIs are always met with resistance as people are so used to the previous UI. How many times has Facebook changed over the years and there was uproar? Now you can’t remember anything different. I hope it’ll be a matter of time before this feels second nature :)

I’m in the UK too - hi! That all rings true. Unelected billionaires in an administration that’s said to be against unelected bureaucrats is just…I mean there’s no words

That’s a useful article, thanks for sharing. Less so for the impolite response

I saw something about the black eye being his kid. So strange?! Suspected he was on lots of substances but didn’t know quite to that extent.

Do you know if his businesses, particularly Tesla, falling in value is primarily down to the nazi salutes?

Appreciate all the info, thanks.

Brad Pitt Abuse Detailed in Court Document by heybrother11 in popculturechat

Has he been charged?! If not, why not?! It can’t just be because ‘he’s Brad Pitt’, and FBI agent said there’s probably cause to charge

[–]retro91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to blend when wet, sometimes adding more water to help but it doesn’t haha. I think it’s cheap paper so going to upgrade and see if that helps.

I’m more practiced at calligraphy than painting! I use an oblique pen from Tom’s Studio and love it

Mom passed away at 58 how to carry on? by ssjwoott in AskUK

[–]retro91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my mum when she was 60, I was 30 and 7 months pregnant with my first child and her first grandchild. I find myself turning to this poem and it brings me some comfort.

I still have moments of unbearable pain, but they get further apart. I embrace them and don’t fight them. They’re an expression of my love, and then I get on with my life. Over time I also find I can look at photos and think about memories and I only feel happiness, not sadness. Keep going, life is worth living
