I'm still around but "on holiday" this month (!) so tending not to be online in the mornings, or not available to set the next day's (and be around for answers). Still enjoying them though, esp. as don't currently have access to my daily Metro.

I've been a bit too busy of late, but aside from that, I rarely get them anyway

What are you talking about?!?! There are probably dozens like me that fail to figure it out every day!!😆
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Good day. I need to know is there a way to register my domain with a "."? I'd like to register ma.ta.co.za or ma.ta.com but it refuses to see the ma.ta as a domain and the .co.za as the top-level domain. Any advice as to how I can register ma.ta?
|
|
|
|
|
Register your domain as ta.co.za then add your own sub-domain ma (which doesn't need to be registered) so you can use ma.ta.co.za
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your reply. How do you suggest I register a subdomain after the purchase of ta.co.za?
|
|
|
|
|
You add the sub domain to your DNS server as an A or C record so it will get resolved to the correct IP when someone enters ma.ta.co.za.
You can have as many subdomains as you like, no registration required other than the required DNS entry.

Two things:
1) This is the wrong place to post this. See the top of the page.
2) You already know that, because you have the same in QA ...
Which makes you what? Rude? Illiterate? Uncaring? Pick your favorite ...

Not having my husband here makes it very clear what kind of abilities I have and don't have. Trying to even go for groceries has left me with panic attacks, or sent me home with empty hands.
I wanted to go to my local grocery store, but they don't do curb side pickup, they don't do delivery, and they don't organize with a 3rd party service to do so like instacart. This is an upscale grocery store catering to the granola eating types, just apparently not those with certain disabilities. I left them a 1 star yelp review.
So I have to use instacart with a busy grocery store (too busy for me to do curbside pickup, i think - i can't afford to panic while driving) that's not even nearest to me, and a place I do not like to shop for how they treat their employees, some of whom are my friends.
Is it really so hard to offer curbside pickup? I mean, you've got customers that have the money to pay for it. It's an "upscale" store as grocery stores go.
I just need my man to come home. I can't even focus on work.
But if I'm not shoeless, sitting in the parking lot rocking myself and sobbing "why do you hate me?" I'm doing okay right?

Why can't you just go inside the grocery store and purchase your items? Panic attacks? If you don't mind, could you explain further? Thanks.
Do you have any friends, neighbors, or family that can assist you?

I have extreme social anxiety. Being around people I don't know can often trigger panic attacks. Even having people I do know around, if I'm fragile that day.
Sometimes I can make into a store and out without having a panic attack. Sometimes I can't, but shopping is always extremely anxiety inducing for me.
It has been this way for me since 2017.
Most of my friends live an hour away. My family lives further. My hubby and a mutual friend are in the next state, because my hubby is getting surgery.
I'm a shut in on account of being clinically guano crazy.

First, thank you for explaining. I assumed this was the case, just wanted to be sure.
Second, I don't think you are crazy just because you have social anxiety. We all have our issues to deal with.
I am sorry you are going through a stressful time right now. I hope you are able to find some peace during this ordeal.

Social anxiety isn't why I'm crazy. It's just one of the symptoms.

My wife can get panic attacks in crowded situations.
Obviously less severe than you have it.
She told me about it when we met many years ago, but I didn't really understand until we got stuck in a half crowded elevator for half an hour.
She has learned to avoid situations where it may happen.
Crowded buses for example is a no go.
I've also learned that it doesn't happen with a flick of a switch (except for crowded elevators), it builds up over time, with "expectations" being a very big part of it. So it's controllable to a some extent.
She's always looking for escape routes without even thinking about it.
But she always had it.
If you got it 2017, you have probably learned what triggers it.
But have you learned how much you can take?
And for how long?

I've got a fair amount of tools to deal with it, so how much I can take is improving - sometimes.
As far as getting a read on where I'm at, I can most of the time. Like, I know if going to the store will be too much for me.
As far as how long, not so much. The thing is it's very situational. I was doing okay at the grocery store the other day through most of it, and then someone got in line behind me and my heart started racing. I didn't have a panic attack that time, but some days I would have.

Do you have any grocery stores with self checkout where you live?
For my wife physical workout helps, going running for 40 minutes every second day makes quite a difference.
For me as well I might add.

They only open them when it gets busy. Apparently being union, they like to keep their cashiers employed. I can understand that, but at the same time, I'd just as soon not go in the store. Besides, those checkout areas get crowded anyway. Or at least too crowded for me.

That's got to be very frustrating. Sorry to hear that.
You should try gardening, if you don't already. Less dependence on others is a good thing.

I don't have much room left for a garden now that we have chickens.

I don't panic, but sometimes a bit lost. Found myself in their canteen twice. So now, if I alone someone of the workforce walks along.
In the early hours few people there.

You could try "Amazon fresh", we've got very good results with that.
And in cases when something does not arrive in good condition (ice cream that lost the ice part ^^¡) they refund it without asking anything.

I looked into them, but I'd have needed to wake up my hubby (who is in another state right now) to get the details for our Prime Account. I ended up using InstaCart instead, but they had to go to a different grocery store than the one I usually shop at. That's fine. I thought I would have to wait, but I guess they give you priority delivery on your first order which includes delivering earlier in the day. Woo!
