    I'm good at puzzles, particularly like jigsaw puzzles, but also games like flow where you match the pipes. I can sometimes do it so quickly I don't understand how I know what I'm doing, it's more like instinct.

  • I have been using three Jerboa app, and just downloaded Thunder to give it a go. I like it so far so but I can't subscribe to new communities. I assume it's the tick button up the top, but it doesn't have an effect when I press it. Please let me know if I'm not doing it correctly, or if there's a fix. Thanks!

    Motion sickness for me. I travel 2+ hours a day, and get really motion sick. It would be unbearable if I couldn't drive. Also, I don't believe I actually have reliable public transport between my home and workplace.

  • My boyfriend works for a charity organisation, and as part of their fundraising they were hosting a ball. The theme was to be "Brides and Grooms". His workmates and he discussed various costume ideas for the weeks leading up to the event. About a week ago, we were brainstorming and came up with the brilliant idea to dress as a Bride and Groom, but in reverse. My partner is a big guy, and so I custom made him a beautiful wedding gown by sewing parts of an op-shop bargain dress together. I decided to wear one of his formal suits. Fast forward to tonight, we were pumped for this event. We took the elevator up to the conference floor of the hotel, and the elevator doors opened. Immediately we turned heads. So, apparently a Bride and Groom ball is NOT a costume party. There were tuxedos, bow ties and wedding dresses that were definitely not from Vinnie's (a second hand/thrift store). We were mortified. We looked at each other and grabbed a glass of wine each from the nearest waiter. We had seriously misread the situation, but it was too late to back out. We had to commit. We spent the next three hours politely posing for people's photos, laughing about our fuck up and generally trying to play it cool. In the end we won the best dressed competition, with the MC announcing "We all know who they are. Both of them have beards, though one is crocheted!" TL;DR my boyfriend and I went to a ball as a gender reversed Bride and Groom. It turned out that the ball was a formal event.

    I love anything squishy like a marshmallow, chalky like musk pencils, or really gummy chewy like Haribo gummy bears.

    Can't go to the bathroom more than once per class? OK, I'll just stand outside the classroom.

    As a teacher, I would always let kids go. Although depending on the situation, I might say "wait a minute until -other student - comes back" or "just listen to this instruction first so you know what to do". You definitely get to know kids who ask to leave to get out of work, but rather than stopping them going, you need to work out why they are avoiding the work in the first place. Often it's anxiety about the work being too hard, or they just need a sensory break because classrooms can be overwhelming. In those cases, it's actually not that helpful to force them to stay in the situation anyway.
