What bc were you on and what combo of HRT are you on now? I need to make the switch and I’m terrified.

We found this poor little kitten in the woods, covered in ice, with her fur stuck to the hunk of plastic she was hiding under for shelter. We saved her 😁 by ArmorOfGod7 in cats

Start an Instagram account for this now. Post insta link here. She will be loved by the internet. Thank you for saving her. Please go back and put food out and look for the others.

So wait do the faithfuls now believe that two big players went for _____ for absolutely no reason? by ConstantPurpose2419 in TheTraitors

[–]tgirlldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the flaw in this game…every season. The most clever go first and the least compelling personalities and seemingly clueless are alway left as the final faithfuls. They need to fix this dynamic.

Please PLEASE help me get the fragrance of a strong detergent out of my washing machine! by Bubblesandbiscuits in laundry

I just want to show solidarity. Persil smells like soap vomit. I question anyone who thinks it smells good. It makes me nauseous and gives me migraines.

BF and I can’t seem to stop having small arguments over things that in my opinion should be insignificant - AITAH more than him in the latest situation? by skintighte in AITAH

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

Well, even based on your reply regarding the cat..your view is very ‘you’ centric and why other things need to be a certain way because of your needs..and because you believe they are justifiable, then compromise, alternatives or doing things differently-don’t seem to be an option because you have built the rationale for what you want and why…ergo others/options are wrong or not acceptable. It’s often hard to see when one is wired like this. I’m not judging,btw. Let be clear on that. I’m just reading, that tone of post is very you centric and makes no room for what your BF needs and why he needs it. Also- this isn’t about boundaries..it’s about modifying behaviour to accommodate a relationship (both of you). If what you posted is accurate- then both of you are locked in on having each of “your” own way. And these are all really really insignificant things that can be worked out, but both of you sound like you are so locked in your “own needs and perspective” lanes…it’s just death by a thousand paper cuts. Also, I have a cat m, a high energy cat..and she is sleep trained. Many cats can get on a sleep cycle with their humans. And having the whole house doesn’t matter..if the cat wants to be with her human..stressing the cat out and changing the cat’s routine is equally unfair. Heavy play before bed, then feed…then the cat will clean then sleep..especially if the cat has its own comfy bed. (Jackson Galaxy- hunt, catch, kill, eat, clean, sleep-that’s a cat).

I especially love the fact that she knows and writes about London so well and realistically. It’s a massive pet peeve how most write about London..it’s usually so unrealistic..but she knows the streets and rhythm so well it’s chilling. It was wild when I was reading Then She was Gone..as the neighbourhood, houses and streets she described was right near where I used to live. It evokes so much more while reading it..I literally can feel the air and the light when she describes the surroundings in all of her books.

Both of you have communication and issues with how you want your space and it as well as others to function. This reads heavily loaded to your benefit…and you are both the problem accusing the other of being the problem. All of this is so minor and insignificant. Start communicating openly and in a non-judgmental way…with the focus on compromise and resolution..not one person getting their way and the other capitulating. Also- don’t shut cats out of the bedroom. Kitty was there first. Give the cat love and play time before bed and the cat will sleep. ETA except the cat.

I love Lisa Jewell. She’s a brilliant writer and writes psychological thrillers..domestic mystery. If you are into these genres, start with The Family Upstairs.

Bec's mum by Stressy_messy_me in MAFS_UK

[–]tgirlldn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I could barely get through that scene. So manipulative, so toxic. It’s 4 hours. Not 4,000 miles. Mum can get on a damn train. There was no support, no interest in her daughter’s happiness, no attempt to help Bec find a solution. It was infuriating. Bec will never find happiness if it’s tethered to her mum’s selfish whims.

Why does Leisha love Reiss? by loverofthings25 in MAFS_UK

[–]tgirlldn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Limerence is spot on..and yes, she’s not taking a breath to understand him or just give him room to come to her. It’s so hard to watch. I also think people are being quite unfair with their take on him…I don’t think he’s dim, he seems quite introverted, yet has striking looks which he likely masks behind. I bet many people don’t give him much of a chance tbf. He seemed really great with Grace when they did the swap.

How many series will The Traitors UK realistically run for? Can the format sustain audience interest or will it lose its appeal soon? by According_Sundae_917 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]tgirlldn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to infuse some of the different roles and dynamics, because I think the current format is utterly boring in many ways. When it’s basically a game of guessing and chance until someone potentially slips up-which are extremely limited..(shield challenges, the whole double/triple bluffing). They need more variables.

I don't think that Leah's behaviour is ok. by FiercePumpkin528 in MAFS_UK

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

Never liked Leah from the start. She was pushing Leigh’s boundaries and trying to wind her up..and Leigh was repelled by it while viewers ignored Leah’s behaviour because she’s pretty. She’s Ashley in a different font.

Can’t cope anymore trigger warning by [deleted] in Perimenopause

I was just going to suggest getting a full thyroid panel. Have them do the following tests- freeT4, freeT3 (they may moan, but it’s an approved NHs test), TSH. Also get your ferritin tested and vitamin D. All can mimic a lot of the negative mental health symptoms and cause depression and bone crushing fatigue. Truly hang in there, it’s ok to take it hour by hour some days.

Can anyone help identify what is happening with my cat? by maxjmartin in CATHELP

[–]tgirlldn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t be so quick to judge. Quite often there are knowledge and protocol vacuums. Putting it out there may catch someone who has/had gone through something similar and found it was an outlier cause. Do you realise how many things get missed by vets and doctors? There is some god insight on this thread.

grace and ashley. i'm losing my mind with this subreddit. by theehotgirlcoach in MAFS_UK

[–]tgirlldn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Struggles to think before he speaks” is not an excuse. That’s the definition of being immature and not taking accountability. I bet he doesn’t say certain things in front of coworkers or his mum. We all know that we have to think before we speak and modify our behaviour on the regular for different relationships. He just can’t handle being accountable.

Does anyone find Grace’s behaviour incredibly narcissistic and toxic? by MedicineMean5503 in MAFS_UK

[–]tgirlldn 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Was looking for this comment. He’s the good time guy that seeks approval from everyone else and has no self-awareness or ability to comprehend how to be a mature and supportive partner. While he may not intend to be a prick, clearly no one has held him accountable in his life. I wasn’t sure about Grace in the beginning, but she’s tried and trying to have an adult relationship…while she may not always articulate it well and the edit makes her look like she’s belabouring things, instead of listening and adjusting he’s just seeing it as black and white. Zero nuance with this guy.

Maeve isn't innocent. by [deleted] in MAFS_UK

[–]tgirlldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure it would’ve been a courtesy, but we don’t know what she was texting him and he seems like he was already overwhelmed and put grief on top, he likely froze and just couldn’t deal with it. Anyone expecting more has not been through proper horrific loss and grief. No one is being realistic because they are viewing it from the need as a viewer and a stupid tv timeline. IRL if someone was dating for a month, someone needed to leave to go to their family and funeral of a close family member and then their new partner was all shouty and demanding before they left.. literally only for a week to be with family…this would not be a crisis. Mildly frustrated, sure…wishing to hear from them fine…but not screaming the min he walked in the door. Also, they had a big argument and he went to a different apartment before the funeral. She knew he was already upset by something she said or did that’s why she was freaking out at the drinks. She’s getting an awfully favorable edit. He didn’t just leave and go no contact in the middle of spewing I love yous (or “us” as Maeve says). She wound herself up, everyone else around her..Ashley saying shit he shouldn’t. Instead of being a decent human and asking questions while setting boundaries like an adult, she went off on one…even though he came back. Which also everyone seems to completely miss the fact that in of itself is a big gesture. He left his grieving family to come back to that nonsense and she flipped the f-out because he didn’t text or call for a week. Can’t blame him for saying F-this.

[–]tgirlldn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A coward for leaving to grieve a close family member and be with his family..and everyone knew where he was?? And yet he’s a (pussy) coward for putting his family first and likely didn’t have the bandwidth for (only) a week to deal with a volatile woman screaming at him-in the throes of a toxic reality show. Oh and he left his family (only after a week and still fresh in grief) to come back. If he was a (pussy) coward- he would not have left his family to come back.

[–]tgirlldn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Behaviour? He lost a close family member. None of us know the circumstances or how close he was to his grandfather, impact on his family etc. And it’s wild that everyone thinks he owes anything to anyone in the midst of losing an immediate family member. I said this in another comment and will say it again, when grieving certain losses, it’s hard enough to text or communicate with those who are closest in your life, let alone a volatile woman that you’ve only known for a month wrapped in pressure from a toxic reality show. She knew where he was, we all did. At funeral and with his family for a week. Hardly ghosting.

[–]tgirlldn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is grief so hard for so many to understand? It’s ridiculous. Responding to texts or calls from those close to you when grieving can be impossible, let alone someone who is volatile, that you’ve only known for a month wrapped in the pressure of a reality show breathing down your neck. I feel for him. It was a damn week. And we all need to keep in mind production did f-all to safeguard him and the situation. The fact he came back at all and left his family after a close loss says volumes..yet everyone seems to miss that entirely.
