i think the last of the storm passed late last night. we seem to have escaped relatively unscathed considering everything. but unfortunately today is the day i must dig my car out of the mud and go find out if it's still possible to drive to town.

that sounds horrible. im glad that ur out of there at least luckily the flood defences we build outside the house last time are still in place but i really need to do a whole bunch of repairs on the wall the water got through and i have not been able to get building materials up here yet

am i doomed to have a panic attack each time it rains heavily now? last time our house flooded and i guess that had a lasting effect on me. i had some anxiety meds n i'm okay and no flooding, just some roof leaks. but i don't think i'm gonna be able to relax or go back to sleep til its over

got power and internet back! the water damage to the electrical system was limited to the plug sockets. can finally chill

thank u! unfortunately there is some damage to the house, but it can be fixed. finally got power and internet back.

thank you, i'm sorry u had to go through that. its awful. my comrade gave me a couple of passive dehumidifiers, and we managed to get the power back on - water damage to the plug sockets caused a switch to flick and we disconnected everything that was bad. so i can run the dehumidifier tomorrow because there will be sun. (our power is literally just solar and some batteries and we can't run heavy power consuming things at night. ty for ur advice, i will definitely keep it in mind.

i'm completely dead and still in shock i think. we spent the entire day bailing water out of our flooding house. this rain was like an order of magnitude worse than anything i've ever seen. the landscape has changed, so much soil eroded. not to mention the new person who is just incredibly toxic.

 

we just had the worst rains we've ever had. we've lost power and our house flooded very badly. i have not yet been able to assess all the damage but it's pretty bad. some of the roof has fallen in.

we need money to buy a ladder and materials to make repairs. we'll do all the work ourselves. might have to post again if the electrical damage is bad, but right now i think we need like 300€ to get what we need to start repairs. anything is welcome. my partner's paypal is naapurinvelho@outlook.com or feel free to message for my bank details (it's a eurozone bank if that matters)

and thank you so much to anyone who can help.

this shit is fucked. everyone worked together to try and mitigate the damage. i am grateful to everyone.

 

i've been asked to find a source for puberty blockers by an acquaintance whose son has been taken off puberty blockers by the uk government and health service rule changes.

I'm not optimistic about this, as i've looked for it before and not been able to find anything. i also warned them it was extremely expensive. but they wanted me to look anyway. i have looked, and not been able to find anything.

does anyone have any sources? specifically triptorelin or a similar gnrh agonist. parents don't seem willing to consider letting their son start hormones.

 

i'm taking nettle seeds home to spain from finland. been making food and string out of them while i'm here at my partner's. mostly using the seeds for food rather than the leaves, so far. though maybe some nettle soup would be nice before we go.

they do in theory grow natively in spain, but i haven't been able to find any where i live so seeds it is.

i do hope that no overzealous airport staff think it's weed.
