My 13y.o. daughter and her friend used to write stories and upload them to this site but I've forgotten the name of it and she's not here to ask!

It really was very much a teen-girl thing and some of the stories were great. All very innocent. It was a bit like tumblr in that people would follow your stories and wait for the next instalment, give feedback, etc.

I'm not sure if it was an Australia site or based somewhere else but if anyone can give me the name, I'd be very grateful. I did try googling it but couldn't find it.

TIA.

I live in Sydney Australia in a timber house that I think was built in the 1950s.

At some stage, a previous owner has removed one of the windows to install an airconditioner - one of those old, noisy ones. The airconditioner has subsequently been removed (not by us) and the window space boarded up with a piece of masonite.

I want to remove the masonite and reinstate the window but I don't know what sort of tradesman I need to help.

The window is one of those that opens out from the bottom (I think it's called an awning window) and is one of a bank of three vertical windows. Each window is about 40cm wide and about 30cm high. The whole window (not just the piece of glass) has gone and a piece of timber has been placed between the space where the missing window was and the window above. Hope that makes sense.

I've looked at demolition yards but can't find a matching window so I need someone to build me a new one.

So, do I need a carpenter, a handyman or someone else?

All advice gratefully received!

Specifically in Australia, if anyone knows. I'm just wondering.

I may be wrong but this seems to be especially popular in the US and especially with twins.

I'm not trying to be critical here. I really would like to understand why people want to do this.

Obviously the parents must think it's cute but do they also enjoy the reaction from other people ('what cute names!') or does it fulfill some need they have within themselves?

There are such lovely names around and I just wonder why people restrict themselves in this way and why they don't seem to realise that their babies will grow up and in all likelihood will not appreciate being saddled with matching names.

I honestly don't get it!
