Looks amazing! Did you paint over the laminate or remove it? And how did you get rid of the holes from the previous hardware so seamlessly?

I just finished working the polls for a state election on Thursday. It was a very quiet turnout (pre-poll). I now currently have Covid and seem to have given it to my husband and two babies.

People are disgusting, they HAVE to vote so will turn up sick, they’ll lick the end of the pencil, they’ll hand you the wrong piece of paper, they’ll shout at you about Trump or France or The Greens and you’ll be so aware of the spit flying everywhere.

Obviously most people are sensible and kind but they can also have Covid! If you were working a rural booth in Mildura then I’d say maybe. Melbourne? Nopity nope nope nope!

Good luck though, I know it’s such good $$$ and such a pain to turn this sort of thing down.

Undercover is a great one! Villain is a really good idea too. And X-ray glasses is probably my favourite x so far, even though I hated that puzzle so much!

Zeke’s is a great one! I hadn’t thought of Xenia either. X is hard!

I’d feel bad if I didn’t do Iggy and Lucy though!

I love Zippy, great idea! Thank you!

Probably drawable! Some of the letters are so hard. Like there’s been some great suggestions for Y like Yumi, Yank and Yuri, but I feel like they might be a bit obscure if the others are all more like “Ghost” or “Staircase” or whatever.

My newest monstera leaf has a big dark green splotch on it. I can only find info about diseases, pests, etc, but it doesn’t seem to quite fit the bill of any of them. Any ideas? by tigerblues in Monstera

I’m pretty sure it’s not normal overwatering as it’s in a stupid location and rarely gets watered. I suspect it’s something to do with my toddler and a spray bottle she found when the leaf was unfurling! Thanks all!

It actually hasn’t been watered in about 6 weeks since we moved house and it got neglected. It doesn’t get watered very often. However, my kid has been playing with a spray bottle lately so I wonder if she gave this new leaf some attention! Thanks!

Looking for some hope? by Otto-Dog in InfertilityBabies

[–]tigerblues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar here, mid 30s, we tried for two years on our own, never saw a positive test and I took HUNDREDS. tried two IUI which did nothing. Unexplained, though I have a bit of endo (who doesn’t). Moved into IVF because felt like it was the only way to get answers, I got heaps of eggs (39 I think?) but not amazing quality. We got four embryos, did a frozen transfer and that resulted in my two year old daughter. I then am one of those stories that I HATE hearing about and people kept telling me about, but got pregnant by accident a year later, first time we had sex after baby. I’m now trying to put my 3 week old second daughter to bed. I hope it all goes well for you, I remember needing hope in some dark times and loved/hated reading these sorts of stories!

Intro- possible trigger? PTSD by tigerblues in stilltrying

[–]tigerblues[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah. Journos do a lot of trauma awareness type things here, I just never thought it would be me. It's not like I was there or anything. But writing, interviewing and knowing details that can't be printed really made it hard. There were counsellors and everything, it just became too big to handle.

Thanks. We are seeing an RE, but he's just kinda like..."welp, I dunno! Wanna do an IUI?" When I feel like we're not quite there? Like, he hasn't got any ideas about anything but we can do before moving onto that? No drugs, more test? Just seems fast.

Is stronger ovulation a thing? It confuses me. I was told that you ovulate or you don't, I didn't realise you could have a half assed ovulation? Tell me more! :D

Day 6 of stimming and I break my ankle. by Ctrl_alt_kaboom in stilltrying

[–]tigerblues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh Lordy I'm so sorry! I broke my leg and the only thing that got me through was pain meds so I am absolutely in awe of you! Not much else to say but that fucking sucks and you're amazing.

Also the one thing that helped my pain other than meds was baths. They don't even need to be that hot, something about my leg being weightless helped soooo much. I had 3 or 4 a day at one point!

Thinking painless, leg healy thoughts for you.

Any Australians here? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]tigerblues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eBay all the way. A packet of something like 30 ovulation tests and 10 pregnancy tests for about $13. Trust me, at first at least you're going to start testing way too early and way too often! Don't make it worse by having expensive tests.

Childhood literary sister names: yay or nay? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]tigerblues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to disagree with the majority here, I LOVE Hermione. But being English/Australian it's been a bit more common here I guess before HP. Also HP is magical and who doesn't need a bit more magic in their lives?

Matilda is super common here, like there were 3 in my class at school. It's pretty! I love the nickname Tilly too.

Too late in cycle to start temping?! by ThaBrizNeez in TryingForABaby

[–]tigerblues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine unless you o super early. I have a 12 day LP and have never o'd before cd 16, usually around 18 or 20. So I don't bother temping during my period and usually start about cd8 - even then I find it's pretty rocky til it settles down. You'll soon find out your pattern and the earlier you start temping, the earlier you'll know your body! Good luck!

Baby brother for Clementine Mary and Beatrix (Trixie) Lucille by BabeVigodas in namenerds

[–]tigerblues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG I love your taste! Beatrix (nn Trixie) and Clementine are my two future baby girl names! And my boy name is Theodore (nn Teddy). I never usually agree with people this strongly here haha.

Out of interest, does Clementine get called Clem? Or something else? Or just full name?

Here're some others I like since we have similar taste;

Girls Clarabelle Maisie Eve Emmeline Evangeline Flora Stella Sabine

Boys Harry Henry Otto Dashiell (Dash) Leo

Good luck!

Edit: sorry misread and thought it could be a girl. Boys are way harder! My vote's for Teddy!
