    I've just figured that if I minimise coke and chocolate from my diet then I basically won't put on weight.

    The combination of Coke and chocolate for me is one of the worst things I can do to my metabolism. Like turning on a switch that instantly goes from caffeine to methamphetamine. Leaving me wound up for around 36 hours.

    I really have regulate my own caffeine intake, even though I often use it quite deliberately. But drinking Coke on top of it....oh my. Like "putting out the fire with gasoline".

    I think we have a moth infestation somewhere among the clutter in our apartment but due to my love of moths I don't want to get rid of them, so whenever I have old clothes that aren't wearable any more I just put them where I think the moths are and maybe they'll build a nest. It's recycling, right?

    My favorite is the Hummingbird Hawk Moth. They act like small hummingbirds and I enjoy seeing them in the garden.

    My stepdaughter subtly judged me for packing my teddy bear whenever I go on a vacation, like it was a bad thing. But it's not a bad thing to want a comfort item even if you're grown-up. My bear is very dear to me and I can't live without him.

    I see my bear like a family member, he's always been there for me and yes I admit I love him

    I can get very attached to a blanket. I just see it as wrapping me in love. I should have it made into a giant teddy bear. Maybe put your teddy in a pillowcase, then teddy can chill until bedtime without anybody giving you the eyeball.

    The bear does stay in our bed all the time and when I take him on vacation he goes in my suitcase and then stays in the bed in the hotel.

    Whenever the brat runs about above, the hollow banging sounds make me dizzy, physically dizzy, like the sound hits a raw nerve in my ear. It's a horrid sound. Trouble is, the brat runs about a lot in the small apartment because they never, ever take it outside. The discomfort is so unbearable.

    Poor little kid. Thar child needs exercise at a playground. I remember l was outside every day of my life as a kid. That's when it was okay to be outside as young child. Now mom's have to worry about their children. But noise like that is very hard. I wish they would put a rug down.

    They have no carpets upstairs, and we have a communal garden he can run around in at least sometimes, although he's too little to go out on his own but surely one of the parents can spare a bit of time to take him outside

    Not looking forward to work tomorrow, when I have to wear trousers because the stupid health & safety inspectors are coming and lectures you if you're in shorts even during this heat. I hate health & safety, it's my body !!!

    One where you get your own pool

    Any place in particular, like the Onsens in Japan that offer private soaking pools? There, because I have tattoos, I would not use public baths.

    Not out of Europe really as I don't like traveling too far on a plane, just somewhere warm like Greece or Corfu

    Why does this site become more interesting when I'm at work, then during my free time in the evenings it suddenly becomes boring? Lol

    No I mean more threads seem to get replied to during the day, then after I get home the forum goes quiet.

    I've noticed that mornings Eastern Time (early mornings Pacific Time, and mid-day for those in UK+EU) tend to be busier as well.

    I like it here in the middle of my night (UTC-4 right now). I know somewhere else, it is day. I also like knowing there's almost always someone here.

    Had the best conversation with my NT colleagues today lol. Freedom of speech, the truth, nobody offended, coooool

    I feel like a snob whenever I go into Aldi but feel like a chav whenever I go into Waitrose. That's why I stick to Tesco, Sainsbury's and Co-op lol.

    I can't seem to get my Avomine pills anywhere, not even on Amazon. I'm at a loss, I hope they haven't discontinued them.

    It has to be Avomine, it's the only vertigo pill that makes me very drowsy and that is what I want sometimes if I'm stressed

    Theoretically Promethazine Hydrochloride pills should do the same job. If you can get the license information for Avomine, you should be able to find alternatives as they will be exactly the same regardless of the name on the packet :)

    I wish you luck. Antihistamines like hydroxyzine or diphenhydramine work for me.

    It's my turn to do the job I hate tomorrow, where I get misgendered by complete strangers.

    Clothing because I have to wear orange high vis vest & shorts at work and somehow makes me look like a male I suppose, because I have my long hair in a bun. I have a photo I could send in PM to you

    Somewhat on and somewhat off this topic, I was reading about forms of address in the military.
    This opinion piece seems out of date, though.

    The Female Military Officer Is Called Sir

    It is not uncommon for female officers to be called sir. What is behind it?

    People can call me Sir if they still know I'm a woman, but when people really mistake me for a man I suddenly get all self-conscious. Shall I send you a photo of me in my work clothes?

    I keep yearning for the toy kitchen I used to have as a child. But I can't rebuy it because I don't have the money nor the room for it, and it is something I don't need and will just add to the unused clutter. I'm supposed to be a married woman!

    I want to live in a bungalow but there's 0 chance of us being given a bungalow

    Here in the USA the housing situation is pretty grim too. Good luck with a bungalow hunt. I'm looking at tiny homes myself.
