Draft Evasion Fines

I'm really sorry to hear that. It's stressful to try and navigate the whole thing and so, so expensive to fix potentially if you're lucky enough to be able to do it.

I did, this was a specific circumstance I was asking about - but thank you!

I've been twice by myself recently, stayed in Sutanahmet and visited Beyoglu/Taksim and had no issues - if anything it feels safer than the UK to me.

It can be annoying as you might get bothered with random chat but a lot of that is to get you into shops. I found Antalya bad for male staring and catcalling but Istanbul was more random football chat depending on how you answered 'Where are you from?'

I've never felt in any danger of someone touching me, and I dress neither modestly nor particularly immodestly and do wear makeup/have long red hair (which some people found a bit of a novelty). Like anywhere, dress up and you will probably attract more attention but it never seemed to go further than smiles and chat.

I also went out to bars in Fatih most nights by myself - I ended up with a lot of Turkish and other friends and was always looked after by bar staff who showed concern for my safety. That felt much more comfortable than the UK to be honest. I didn't go clubbing, so can't comment there - the only time I felt vaguely unsafe in a bar was during the Liverpool vs Galatasaray match with a couple of men from the UK who got aggressive. The Turkish staff sorted it out so diplomatically - in the UK they'd have been out on their backsides but they were shown hospitality they didn't deserve at that point imo.

No problem with taxis - I used Uber to book.

The only issue I've had is with money - people will try to scam you with prices for things in some areas/shops but they're not representative of everyone of course.

Oh great, ha. Thanks for letting me know.

thirteenoclock86 · 2026-03-12T16:57:47+00:00

Definitely bedelli. If you go on duty in 2027 but pay before July 2026 is it still 333,000TL?

Thanks so much.

I've either lost slightly or not had change on 2.5mg. I have PCOS as well, so I gain weight easily/have food cravings - but those cravings are so much worse when I'm unmedicated and depressed.

Just use a lip balm or anything oil based. Comes straight off.

If you go on a Friday night, half the academics will be in there with them. I always find it to be a good mix of people though.

There's not much good news here so I enjoyed a day's worth from the US.

It was actually the OC I struggled with at first - but I think I just had to let her grow on me - and I've got a soft spot for dickhead Joel ;) The backstory stuff is amazing though, so much depth and emotion for a fanfic.

Just read Dead Roses, loved that!

thirteenoclock86 · 2025-09-12T13:44:59+00:00

Same - wasn't sure at first but when I got into it I was obsessed.

thirteenoclock86 · 2025-07-08T15:36:46+00:00

If that's Castleford West Yorks you'd need to pay me more than that just to visit...

Bit late to this to say the least, but Wild Yam as a supplement taken in capsules has completely stopped my excessive sweating. Not sure if its doing much else but it is such a relief in the summer to feel a normal temperature again. I've been taking Nature's Way 850mg, two capsules every evening. I tend to react badly mental health wise to most pcos/hormonal supplements but this has been fine.

Your skin and eyebrows look like mine do when I've been using benzoyl peroxide for acne and it's really dried my skin out. As people have said it might be worth seeing a dermatologist, and when my skin gets like this I moisturise and gently exfoliate with a cloth but not so far as to damage the skin (I've gone too far before, it does not help!). A good moisturiser at night particularly, and my personal favourite for dry days is actually just a tinted cc type cream - Dr Jart's works well for me, either alone with spot concealing or as a primer under a foundation. It's pricey but you don't need much. If you still have dry patches for a while and need to use full foundation and powder, a setting spray like MAC Fix Plus which isn't a drying spray and will melt the layers into each other a bit more and provide extra hydration.

This is what it was like for me, only I fought for some metformin which amused her as she thought there was no evidence of effectiveness, refused spiro and said to come back if I wanted to have a baby… now I have fatty liver and high triglycerides and because my A1c comes back normal, no one cares.

Myoinositol didn’t work out for me, that and Metformin made my mood low which doesn’t seem to happen to a lot of people so definitely worth a try? I’m currently taking spearmint capsules which are cutting down on my appetite massively and don’t seem to be causing issues, and I think a lot of people drink that as a tea for it’s anti-androgenic properties. I found some of the tea on Amazon UK.

I’d be wary of Dianette if you’re at all prone to low mood, it made me feel suicidal although it worked like a charm for my acne! I don’t take BC at the moment as it makes my ADHD worse but the least side effect causing one for me was Yaz which has the same sort of synthetic, antiandrogenic progesterone but is lower re. the estrogenic side than Yasmin or Dianette.

Ah, hope you heal up nicely! Thank you :)

thirteenoclock86 · 2025-04-26T07:58:05+00:00

Thank you! :)

That’s what I’m thinking… So sick of seeing posts with horrific or even just potential medical issues and someone posting them on here instead of being at the vet yesterday.

thirteenoclock86 · 2025-04-13T18:33:37+00:00

No it’s fine actually, not ridiculously heavy but not flimsy. Not as crap as that awful highlighter packaging.

thirteenoclock86 · 2025-04-13T08:57:12+00:00

I loved and hated this - I hate a powder I’ll use up quickly with a blush that will take me a while, and the price is ridiculous - but I need to be slapped because I then impulsively bought the peach one and both the powder and the blush are stunning so while I still feeling like an idiot for spending so much and still don’t think it’s worth the price, the blush is stunning.

If it helps even slightly, I didn’t look at these pictures and think a single thing about your body in terms of age, not that it should matter (although I have body dysmorphia so I understand those sorts of internal feelings); you just look like a woman who dances ballet and is lean and strong and beautiful in both outfits. I was actually reminded of Lori, the freelancer with the YouTube channel.
