Don't need pessimists telling me they're rigged :p my boyfriend and I just like playing them. So far we've just played some random ones dotted outside of restaurants and supermarkets but if there's a dedicated arcade we'd love to go, if not if theres any enthusiasts who know where some are or if you pass one in your day let me know here :)

I was doing therapy for just over two years when I felt like I truly was a new person and overcame most of my issues that needed a (psycho)therapist. Most of our sessions went very simply and towards the end it seemed like we had covered much of everything and she had taught me and guided me to where I needed to be, and how to continue without her.

I'll be honest there were times when I was worried my therapist was basically just using me for money- I mean, in an extremely literal sense, yes this is her livelihood. These sessions were not cheap either. I can't really explain why I feel this way, just something I would sometimes get anxious about.

So I sent the thank you email about two weeks ago, after working on it for a good few hours. We weren't able to have our regularly scheduled session that week just due to me and a change in work shifts, and a lot of what I wrote in the email I wanted to express verbally in a final session.

My therapist replied to me with a very short thank you passage, then asked if I'm "sure" I didn't want a final session to tie everything up...

The anxious side of my brain immediately took this as confirmation for my fear being true, but my rational side.. is having a hard time rationalising it aswell. I feel like perhaps she was just being kind, but I don't think it was a very professional way of going about it either.

Thoughts?

Edit: the last four sessions we had been discussing ending therapy, the last session I said I would be sending a final thank you email

I bought two suggestions from this thread but both had a fat 'Made in China/PRC' label printed on the box (and the torch itself), I'm looking for something a mechanic might use so compact but bright enough for working under a car (the two I bought were not "super bright" like the listings said either). If anyone has recommendations or even search term suggestions that would be great :) looking for fully EU designed and manufactured, I'm in Germany if that helps

I rented a karaoke room for a girls night a month in advance because we all agreed it was something we wanted to do on the next girls night.

Well there were four of us and when we got there it quickly became clear the other three had no intentions of singing. I sang three songs (spaced about 10 minutes between) and when I saw the timer said we had 15 minutes left I asked again if any of them wanted to have a go. They said no but they said the room was 'vibey' so wanted to stay longer, so I went down to the desk to request and pay for another 30 minutes. Then just left the building.

They only messaged me when (apparently) an employee came around and said their time was up. I haven't replied in the group chat yet because I feel like what I did was childish but as the hour progressed I just felt worse and worse, like maybe they're just not people I wanna hang out with anymore. I feel pretty sad about this whole thing.

AIO?

Edit: it seems like some people misunderstood the setting. This was a PRIVATE karaoke room that you have to reserve/book ahead for that we all agreed would be fun/something we mutually wanted to do. And yes, we ALL discussed singing at least a song and even looked up duets/group songs we could sing together

Mini update: I sent a message apologising and expressed feeling weird/awkward about how things turned out.. so far they've all read it but no one replied yet

Our neighbours have this beautiful flowering pine tree (I don't know my trees) but from the start of spring till the start of winter the wasps love it. The tree stands directly beside my balcony where I grow flowers and veggies, and the wasps love to burrow in my south facing skylights all summer long. I poke out on average 2-3 nests A WEEK in peak summer. I don't care about them flying around but they can get super aggressive, particularly when I'm out for longer periods of time working on my raised beds.

Advice on how to get them to stop burrowing in the skylight? The windows are fairly newly installed within the last 3 years or so, and my landlord says that wasps have basically always burrowed in them.
