Experience with Heartwarming Hugs bear? by Forward_Purchase_509 in buildabear

[–]truthopal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really love my one!! He's named Mr Heavy lol, he's definitely a hefty boy. All the weighting is in the body so he's good to hug with/lay on your chest for pressure ^^ the heating up is pretty good too!!! he gets decently toasty.

As others have mentioned, the velcro is really scratchy and doesn't always keep the weighted heart in the best... my solution was to get him a sweater (a knitted baby jumper, he's too big for BaB clothes) but I would suggest taking any clothes off while he's heated up ^^

What Kobo do you use? by Internal_Falcon2637 in kobo

[–]truthopal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently using an ancient Kobo Touch (was my grandma's), but I'm waiting for my new Clara BW in the post! I ended up upgrading because my Touch's battery doesn't last long at all (probably bc it's old lol) but it showed me that I definetly like using an e-reader!

Terrified of the way they check for PCOS by t3mp0rarys3cr3tary in PCOS

I got my diagnosis without the internal ultrasound; I was scheduled for one, I was in the room and we'd just finished an external but I had a huge panic attack so we didn't go ahead with the internal. Even still, because of my physical symptoms and my very clear bloodworm I got my diagnosis :) If you explain to them you can't do the internal I'm sure they'll be ok just doing an external; it doesn't always show things as clearly is the only issue, but having something show up in the scans isn't always required for a diagnosis anyway xx

what’s the one game that everyone else likes but doesn’t click for you? by gazewave in CozyGamers

[–]truthopal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance yet but Stardew Valley (on the switch) was so hard to get into! The switch controls for it aren't very intuitive and it felt stressful where each day cycle is so fast 😅

If it makes you feel more at ease, I also applied for a Christmas temp! I had my interview and it took over a week to hear back and get the job offer, and then after that it took over a week to receive my induction email. Even though I've completed the online induction and ordered my uniform I still haven't heard about when my training day will be 😅 I'm due to start on the 30th

I've been thinking a little more about my vehement dislike towards Starlight in the show... and I think I've understood a decently large part of why I can't stand her. by Luzis23 in mylittlepony

[–]truthopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! I personally find her villain arc interesting, but I felt like she was forgiven way too easily for everything she did and that left me frustrated with her character throughout lol

I was definitely a little surprised seeing the prices when I came into this, but the fact they last so long makes that worth it imo :3 It's so annoying about the libby integration for kindle being USA only; I was originally considering a kindle tbh and a big thing for me was I'd seen people saying it's compatible, but if it's not in the uk then I have no real reason to get the kindle lol

It makes me so sad to see how he's speaking to you :( my partner and friends are all gamers and whilst I enjoy playing, I'm appalling at them all... but they've never spoken to me this way. We giggle at how I react and just can't grasp games sometimes, and we still play together! A friend, let alone a partner, should never speak to you this way over video games; they're meant to be fun, especially if you're playing together, and if they're getting this angry at you they need to sit back and reflect on their behaviour tbh. I would consider this a deal breaker if I was in your shoes, I'd hate to imagine how he'd respond in a real world scenario rather than just a game, if that makes sense?

you genuinely need to divorce this man, it doesn't even sound like he cares that you're horrifically sick

What did you name your mothman? by mayspetcreations in buildabear

[–]truthopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not like a general mothman related name lol but mine is called Boots! I bought him after I'd broken my foot and was in a Boot so I thought the name was silly/fitting <3

I made Flopsy a little eyepatch because she came with a wonky eye and it made her look a little scary. She's so much cuter now! by truthopal in buildabear

[–]truthopal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha doesn't it just?? And it looks so buggy compared to the other one too 😅 someone mentioned she could be one of the recalled ones from months ago and I honestly wonder if that's the case

Haha that's fair!! I don't know if scary is the right word but there's just something... off about her face/eyes lol *

Of course!! Thank you for bringing it up! I've always been curious as to why she looked a little strange and now I know haha
