Wedding ring suggestions

Hi all!!

I don’t have autism, I’m an adhd haver, but my partner is on the spectrum. He’s the love of my life, I adore him and I would never be without him. I want to propose to him, we’ve spoke about it before and we both want to get married, but I’m having trouble finding the perfect ring for him.

I want to keep all of his sensory needs in mind, and after speaking with him I know he would want a thin ring, one that sits flush to his finger and generally doesn’t feel like it’s there. The feel of silicone is a no go and I would love to get him something that reflects one of his special interests- those being bees and vikings/nordic history, but I’m aware that with a thin profile ring it would be hard to have any designs present.

Any suggestions would be amazing, I will find myself my ring at another time- his comfort is my priority here.

Specific sleep cover search

So I’m looking for a specific sleep cover for my Libra Colour. I know I’m being picky, but I’d rather be picky than waste my money on something that isn’t quite what I’m looking for.

I’m looking for one of those detachable magnetic sleep covers, but only the ones where the attachment is the thin strip- I use a popsocket so I’d like to be able to keep my popsocket magnet placement if I can.

I’m a sticker lover, so a clear case is a must for me. Not overly fussy about the design on the sleep cover part, just that it isn’t ai art.

The ability for the sleep cover to act as a stand WITHOUT it being an origami case- I’ve heard that those bend with pressure and end up pushing into your screen in your bag. The one I currently have has a kickstand type thing and an option to turn the kobo sideways and prop it out.

Id like a space for a stylus? But without it being part of the hard case that’s left behind when the sleep cover is detached?

The kicker?? I really don’t wanna go to Aliexpress or Temu, I’m looking on Etsy and Amazon at the moment. Preferably under £30? But if it’s a highly recommended case that will protect my kobo and does all the specific things I’m looking for then I’ll shell out a chunk of change.

Please…. Help in my search!

Keep going, right?

Located on the side of my foot, which is super difficult to get to without straining my ankle. I know treatment will be painful, but I know I have to do it before it gets too big and even harder to get to.

Any way to turn the “expires in …” back to “1 hour left”?

It’s such a tiny thing, but I read a lot of library books now and I’m struggling with not having the hours left on the lock screen.

I know I can change the footer to have this instead, but I like knowing how many pages I have left! If it’s not possible then it’s fine, but I wanted to know if it was.

I always knew this day would come….

I’ve always been so careful with the wards on my feet, but the day has come. Can someone please confirm these as warts please? They’re very small so I’m going to start sa plasters now while they aren’t too deep

To help with the fear

I know that when I first started playing every single thing scared me. Now I just like to imagine that I’m interacting with socially awkward ghosts that don’t get on with other ghosties and want to try their hand at befriending the living

Mystery surging foot?

SOLVED!!!
This is a rolling hem foot, and a godsend for saving time on hems

I’m really not sure- this foot came with my second hand machine along with a bunch of others. This is one of the only ones not mentioned in the manual for this machine- I thought it was for surging but when I searched it I couldn’t find a foot that looked like my one.

Will these pants fail me?

I have a big butt, and many a trouser has eventually torn at the butt seam because of it. I’ve gotten used to telling when a fabric is being stretched over my cheeks, and these have always felt a little snug when I sit down. I’m wondering if this seam is enough to keep my trousers together or if I’m doomed to need to repair them in the future.

My mamas Kindle has always had these lines on the screen

She bought it at the start of this year and just thought this was normal? This is her first e-reader so she had no idea what to expect and was just thrilled to read more.

Am I right in thinking that this is hardware damage? There are no visible dents in the screen, it’s perfectly smooth when you run your nail over it.

It’s way past the return window and she never bought a warranty with the device. She’s very anxious about contacting customer service about this so I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do for her? Even upon restarting the device the lines remain.

Has anyone crunched the numbers?

Wondering if I still have a chance to finish the trailblazer if I started doing all the max daily points now?

Besties, I need your recs for a specific kind of self help book ✨

Pic of my kobo stats for attention, I’m sorry!

I started reading “the subtle art of not giving a fuck” and was instantly wishing my commute was quicker so I could turn off this man trying to explain to me how I could live a “better life.”

I felt like I’d accidentally ended up with a drunk dude explaining his ‘life changing experience with goat yoga’ or something. I’m so glad if this book helped you, but I was not the target audience.

I need…. A wake up call. A “you need to do the hard thing and it’s going to be hard but you’re going to do it anyway” kinda book. I need to quit this soul sucking job and stop being afraid of the man in charge and being yelled at. I’m looking for big sister energy, “girl you know better than this” vibes and something relating to ‘stop worrying about people not liking you and put yourself first for once in your life dear god woman!”

I saw someone else do an April wrapup, and thought I’d join in as I already created wrapups for the book discord group I’m in! 🥰

Hi everyone, hope you can help.

I’ve been tasked with the worker holiday sheet as one of my responsibilities and need to alphabetise the names BUT have the rows move with said name when they get sorted.

Is there a way to anchor a row to a name and have it follow when I alphabetise the column? I also need to be able to add a name and replicate this. Sorting them by hand isn’t ideal, there are a lot of names.

So I read a fair amount of Manga, I tear through volumes and adore the whole experience of reading manga.

I simply cannot afford to pay for each volume, with some reaching £10 per volume and it taking me around three hours to finish a single one (if I take my sweet time) I am stuck with Libby.

This arrangement has been fine, but a lot of the series I’m interested in aren’t on Libby. I thought I’d have a little gander onto the Kobo Plus collection and was honestly surprised to see how many they have!

I’m wondering if Kobo Plus solely for manga is something other people do, and if so do you find it to be a good experience? I have seen that some series stop being on kobo plus half way through, which is frustrating. Is that a normal occurrence? I wanna go in fully informed if I can.
