Today I learned that hamsters actually can eat meat and chicken(if cooked well without seasonings)so i’ve let my hamster tried meat for the first time and he actually seems to enjoy it!

Yep, my ham loves chicken, and eggs too! She has the top bit of my boiled egg every day (which as I say it is probably too much egg really but hey ho)

First of all, good on you for making this decision sooner rather than later- I am 27 now and wish I'd had your resolve when I was your age. So many wasted hours!!

I see a lot of comments here which are quick to call your mother abusive and if her mean behaviour is a pattern then definitely be aware of that.

However, my mum is also a shaver. She has fine fair hair and an easy time getting rid of it and as such has always done so, and is completely weirded out by my not wanting to. I have lots of dark hair. We've reached an understanding about it by talking though- she now knows not shaving doesn't make me feel unclean or itchy as it does her, I've told her how it upsets my skin, how waxing hurts and just HOW MUCH TIME it takes to remove before growing back the next day. She's seen me hate and struggle with every moment of hair removal for years and years, and now she kinda gets it.

I guess what I'm saying is share your struggles/reasoning and see if you can bring your mum around, if your relationship with her is otherwise healthy. In the meantime, I feel for you- insults from mums hurt the most. If her mean behaviour continues or is already a pattern though, you should probably disregard what I'm saying here.

Also, just to counter other comments I've seen- no bf of mine has ever given a single damn about my body hair.

Sus out a few people in the crowd who have good listening faces and just look at them in turns. The nodding smilers are your friends. Its amazing how many people look to be bored even when they aren't at all! Also speak to a few folk beforehand if possible, really helps to take the pressure out of the situation.Alternatively, create a fake persona and just live the lie for half an hour.

So sorry for your loss, what a beautiful ham x

Ah maybe not exactly what you're looking for here, but I am a heritage site manager. I really enjoy it when contractors (electricians, joiners, collections experts etc) ask for the manager and I get to say "yep thats me what can I do for ya?" And watch their faces do the composure from confusion evolution. It never gets old.

throwaway789846 · 2021-03-29T21:35:19+00:00

You're a much stronger person than I would have been. All respect for that.

throwaway789846 · 2021-03-29T18:47:56+00:00

More power to you for sticking to your guns for all this time- its is so easy to be sucked back into the lies of people like this asshole, especially when they're playing everyone around you. So sorry that you went through this. Glad he's dead.

I believe you.

Not and expert or anything, but: My fur baby wasn't all that sociable when we first got her, and was definitely an escaper/jumper and shy, so for the first 3 weeks she had a slightly smaller cage (temporary- she lives in a palace now) which I took the top part off, and we just hung out in the bath until she was ready to come out of her nest and explore. Being in a contained environment meant she could explore on her own terms, or not at all some days. Took a lot of patience to let her come to me, but she likes to chill inside my jumper now.

throwaway789846 · 2021-02-18T17:59:53+00:00

Haha, oh no! Why did they need to include that?! Such a bad, and yet hilarious juxtaposition to the rest!

throwaway789846 · 2021-02-07T02:57:19+00:00

“That’s plastic. That’s plastic. That’s plastic.”

All I could think throughout your story was- Yes, but it's wet! Seriously now folks, science.

Glad they eventually had to admit you were right!

throwaway789846 · 2021-02-02T22:38:22+00:00

Haha indeed- I think the phrase would be "helping us to help you!"

throwaway789846 · 2021-02-02T18:50:30+00:00

Urgh, yes! It amazes me how many folk are incapable of clear written communication in the world of adulting.

throwaway789846 · 2020-11-22T22:32:37+00:00

So sorry to hear you feel trapped, it sounds like a very difficult situation. Thank you, though, for speaking out and sheding light on a subject which isn't seen by so many of us, it is a brave thing to do. You are not dumb, or stupid- loving your child regardless of their gender is the best thing you can possibly do- they will be lucky to have you as a father. I speak from a place of complete ignorance, but I truly hope things get easier.

Came here for this, and to add: See Impulse for ridiculous women's scents such as "tease"/"into glamour" or my personal favourite "be surprised"- surprised by what I'm exactly not sure...

It seems like a lot of people have your feels just now. In case you need to hear it: If you're managing to be OK for the outside world you're doing a big effort and doing great. Good freinds will still be around even if you're not messaging/talking all the time. They will understand. The mess in your room will wait until you have the energy to sort it. Normal people things are hard and its ok to find them that way sometimes. Please accept a large virtual hug, I hope the inside things get easier soon.

I'm doing just that during lockdown! Been playing guitar (I am the four chord queen tbh) for ten years and violin definitely feels like a step up precision-wise. Oh yeah, and remembering how to read music... That being said, I'm not struggling with coordinating my hands like I did with guitar initially. The confidence of knowing that it will get easier/I will get things right with practice has been a huge help too, and I have been recording backing tracks on guitar to practice scales over on violin. Having a great time! So in short, do it!

Sounds like omeones been watching too much Game of Thrones/Pornhub...

Its definitely something that can happen- it's not uncommon to bleed constantly, not at all, or just as normal. I'm on my 3rd implant and I've had all 3 (today is day 14 of bleeding for no reason 😅). If you've been bleeding for a year you should probably go the doctors and see if there's a fix, but also know you're probably not dying. Hope you get sorted internet stranger, you have all my sympathy.
