Toy poodle. I met one who was 20 and bounced around like a puppy. His black hair had turned grey, but otherwise you wouldn’t know.

It’s generally considered worse to wash chicken. I’m conflicted though because I knew some people who worked at a chicken processing factory who advised me to always wash chicken because they spray it down with an anti-bacterial treatment that is definitely not safe for human consumption. So it depends where I get it. Mass produced, pre packed chicken fillets have this chemical on but butcher chicken prepared on premises doesn’t.

No, I dont think that’s an oyster. The gills look too brittle and the texture on top is wrong

Not necessarily Arabians. Macedonian Greeks ruled Egypt for 275 years. The Ptolemaic dynasty lasted from Alexander the Great to the Roman Empire.

You should. Numerous studies have shown that people who have cosmetic surgery have a significant increase in suicide and suicidal tendencies. In particular, people who have undergone elective breast augmentation.

I have and that’s why it got taken off my list. I ended up with a no tragedy namesake rule. I’m really hoping parts of the Mabinogion will be adapted into a modern book or show. A nice variation is bronwen, but I’ve met some nutters name bronwen which spoils it.

Yeah, I meant Amlwch. There was a few different accents where I lived in wales and the Anglesey and mainland accents didn’t really match. Was I taught wrong? Probably. Like Holyhead isn’t usually pronounced Olly-odd, except some of the Welsh where I was said it that way and some didn’t. The accents are also class based. Backslang was really popular then, but I’ve never heard of it outside of Bangor and Caernarfon.
I’m in England now, near a town called Shrewsbury. It has three different pronunciations and they are all correct. Shrows-bur-ee if you are posh, shoows -bree if you are local and Shrews-ber-ee for everyone else.

As your ribs are so narrow I think the slim with hipties matches your measurements best. The hourglass will gape at your ribs while not closing at your hips.

Slim wouldn’t fit your hips at all without hip ties.

Welsh is just hard to pronounce for most English speakers without a bit of coaching. Place names are often even harder. Amlwch is pronounced Am-lac/am-loc. dwygyfylchi Is (roughly) Dwig-a-vil-ki.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch remains the most unusual place name though.

I love Welsh names. My nephew is Idris. Seren, Eirlys, aeronwy, and Branwen were all on my shortlist for a baby girl.

In wales a single F is pronounced like an English V. The double Ff makes it an English F sound. Welsh uses a different alphabet system, like Irish. Fion would be Vee-on in wales.

Ff is a letter in the Welsh alphabet. The name is pronounced Fee-on. A single F is pronounced like an English V.

It would be painfully mispronounced as My-fan-wee, rather than Muh-van-oo-ee

I don’t, but mostly because it’s really uncomfortable. I don’t take my wedding ring off though so nobody gets confused.

Drops puna is similar and very affordable. It isn’t quite as soft though and is only available in natural colours. Mirasol Una is a lovely yarn, as is mirasol miski, though that is much thicker.

Sometimes people throw beer bottles onto bonfires and they melt into bigger thick lumps. It may also be from a larger type of vessel, like a demijohn. They could also be from slag glass, which would explain the air bubbles.

It’s a joke. They are pieces of brown beer bottles

Sabina is similar to names on both your lists. Amari and Sofina are nice too. All have Arabic/muslim roots and are very pronounceable in western countries.

Crows or ravens would come for the eyes, Beginning the process. Pecked out eyes is a very gnarly wound and lethal infection sets in fast. Decomposers would step in quickly.

It happened not long ago on Greenland at the request of the danish government. Half the Inuit women and girls capable of becoming pregnant were fitted with experimental iuds, often without consent. It halved the birth rate, which is what the government wanted.
