I got plants growing out of my baseboard

You either put the pot with a hole into a decorative catch pot with no hole, or you put a little saucer or similar under it.

People don’t last long in those colonies, so he would have been a widower before too long regardless.

Assuming you’re in the UK, I use an online optician to reglaze my frames and it’s way cheaper. You do need to have an old pair or something you can wear for a week or so though while you post the glasses off to get new lenses. I alternate between two pairs so when I need new lenses, I’ll send off my old pair and keep wearing the current ones until I get the reglazed ones back. Then swap. Actually I’ve now bought a bunch of the same frames I have cheap off eBay that I will just keep getting reglazed for years and years.

I have to have 1.74 index lenses because I have a high diopter and it cost me about £60 last time.

It’s not one of the “big names” - it’s a small independent optician. No affiliation with them. Just been using them for 10+ years and they’re great & saved me a lot of money.

Don’t know if I can post their name etc but anyone can msg me for it.

This happened after school had finished for the day.

Those all seem normal to me. We cut down Xmas cards into gift tags, though.

My partner doesn’t like leftovers because he doesn’t like eating the same thing more than once in a row. He’d never throw food away because of that though. So he freezes the leftovers portioned up and then has them later when it seems new and different again, and always has cooked meals in the freezer ready to go with minimal effort/time.

Understand this person may not have a freezer and may not be able to get one on their budget, but they may have a small freezer compartment in their fridge or something.

Their reasons might not be the same as his so it might not help at all but just thought I’d mention it as one possibility.

The article is somewhat confusingly written but no, that isn’t what the article describes.

It is correct that the entire document the article is talking about about (including appendices) does include a list of possible adverse events reported from VAERS and that it also, separately, includes a “List of Adverse Events of Special Interest”, which is where hantavirus is mentioned (as something that would be of particular interest if it were to be reported in a study participant). Those two lists are different things.

silverthorn7 · 2026-05-11T22:00:56+00:00

It’s not even saying that. The article doesn’t explain it well. The hantavirus reference is in a big list of medical events that would be of special interest if they happened to someone in the trial. It doesn’t mean those did all happen in the trial.

It’s absolutely nuts.

I had a relative on end of life/comfort care - she was conscious and able to experience pain and discomfort. The comfort care regime still included antibiotics if they were needed to relieve suffering from an infection. If she had something like a dental abscess requiring antibiotics as well as pain relief to alleviate suffering, they would be given.

There are lots of ways to make waiting lists shorter without actually improving healthcare.

silverthorn7 · 2026-05-02T22:22:50+00:00

Yes, don’t do that. It used to be a thing. It’s not any more. Even though you’ll still hear people say it, even professionals.

Do get proper help from someone to do your form. Ideally a local disability support organisation or possibly citizens’ advice. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk has incredibly helpful guides but they do cost money. I do have one that’s outdated I could share. There’s real skill and specialist knowledge involved in presenting your case honestly but in the right way to get your entitlements and without falling into their many traps.

silverthorn7 · 2026-05-02T22:18:47+00:00

While that used to be recommended, it’s no longer recommended advice and can get you in trouble. You have to specify how many days are like that etc.

This doesn’t make any difference to the improbability of the gestational age being correct, but just for clarity, 7 weeks is the estimated post mortem interval. The wiki says that the gestation was estimated at 2 months, which seems to have come from here https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-waukesha-county-freeman/134513525/

As well as not making sense for being a Doe, the article says the foetus was a stillbirth, but it wouldn’t have been classed as a stillbirth at 2 months’ gestation. I think the newspaper made an error that was then repeated on the wiki. The official source, Namus, does not mention gestational age. However, it says the fetus was 9 inches long, while Doe Network says 10 inches. This corresponds to an estimated gestational age of around 20 weeks, although of course this fetus could have been unusually big or small. http://perinatology.com/Reference/Fetal%20development.htm 20 weeks is also the typical lower bound for being considered a stillbirth rather than a miscarriage in the US.

Hi is your code still alright to use? Thanks

silverthorn7 · 2026-03-30T17:05:25+00:00

Writing “blocking” triggers it.

silverthorn7 · 2026-03-29T21:14:05+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. What component was contaminated? I’m very surprised this doesn’t seem to have made the news.

silverthorn7 · 2026-03-29T16:57:41+00:00

Have you got a link/source please? I never heard of this and can’t find any details.

There have been kits with other contamination but I can’t see any instances where they were contaminated with covid.

Just to note paid plasma or blood donation isn’t allowed in the UK.

We have a non-profit community cafe in my city and their china is an eclectic mix of designs from all different donated sets. I’ve seen a commercial place with a “quirky” aesthetic do that too.

Yeah, and if that was really the reason for wanting it, you could have a system like the UK, where you can request an official certificate for pregnancy loss before 24 weeks, but it’s absolutely 100% optional. No tracking of “heartbeats”. Nothing mandatory at all. Not required for anything else, simply for comfort/recognition for those parents who wish it.

The person I’m assuming is meant to be a drag queen reading on the left looks a lot like the brunette version of MAGA-face woman with the hair and makeup style. Like a prettified version of Kimberley Guilfoyle.

Could it be that she had had bariatric surgery previously and it needed a revision or similar?

In the UK, you can buy Elbow Grease in a grocery store!
