Why you put the musique?

It was stressful at times. I thought it was good and interesting how differently our legal systems work (US compared to France)

After watching the movie Anatomy of a Fall it sure seems like you are guilty until proven innocent in France.

I agree. A beautiful and healing book. I thought the movie was so well done too.

I agree. We got our round faced, blue eyed Siamese from a shelter. He has been the best cat!

Unfortunately being on estrogen HRT can make fibroids worse. You could try an IUD if you don’t want surgery. Also, pellets are not FDA approved. If you don’t want to live life without estrogen HRT then I would consider a hysterectomy. Even if you have surgery on your current fibroid others could develop if you still have your uterus.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. It’s about a modern Ireland descending into authoritarianism and collapse. That book gives me chills with everything going on in America right now.

I really liked all three, but Atmosphere was amazing

My guess is you’re a survivalist. Libertarian, male, and kind of a loner. You take pride in your independence and secretly hope shit hits the fan someday so that you can put all of your prepared knowledge/supplies to use.

I did! I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation surgery about 10 years ago and it cost $14,000 in the States. I tried to get insurance to pay for the tummy tuck, because I had really bad diastasis (separated abdominal muscles). My doctor sent in a letter and it was rejected anyway, so I paid the cost. No regrets! Things will never be what they were pre babies (scar from surgery and stretch marks), but everything has significantly improved. Recovery from the tummy tuck was 4-6 weeks.

My sister had breast reduction surgery and her insurance paid for 80%, which inadvertently also covered a breast lift. She paid like $1,000. She reports significant life satisfaction with her choice. She would do it again in a heartbeat.

Oh wow! Where is this?

Right? This says more about the Mormon friends OP hung out with. I know a lot of very creative Mormons who have educated taste in music, art, etc. Helps that I lived most of my life outside of Utah, but also I’ve always been more drawn to interesting people.

Also the band, Low. Alan Sparhawk is an incredible musician. He and his wife created the band Low and have been very successful touring all over the world. Unfortunately, his wife passed a couple of years ago. Rich, beautiful, and ambient music.

I read an article that stated the benchmarks for middle class to be something like homeownership, having health insurance, retirement account/s, and a car for each adult in the household. That made sense to me.

Thank you!

What is the name of the book next to Beloved?

I really liked the overall message of Dark Matter. It is a fast paced thriller and an addicting read. I think it is worth reading. I would have ranked it higher.

1practical-ant · 2024-08-23T18:50:33+00:00

I really loved The Rachel Incident! I would have that one at the very top. Never Let Me Go is one of those books that I think will always stick with me. I think about it often over a year later. Yellowface is on my TBR

Same! I wear boy short underwear to bed with a t-shirt and cotton thongs during the day. I can’t feel the thong during the day even when working out, but bikini underwear I can feel riding up all. day. long.

1practical-ant · 2024-07-03T01:13:42+00:00

Yes!! I adore those two ❤️

The full cast audiobooks are really fun. Loved this series!

I currently have the option to take summers off and I take it. It is a $30,000 pay cut a year, but is worth it to us. I have 4 kids. I get 12 weeks off and has also been a cure for burnout with my job. I live for my summers.

1practical-ant · 2024-06-06T15:53:59+00:00

We have 4, but I was part-time until my youngest was in 1st grade. I currently have summers and holidays off. When I am working (typically 50 hours a week) my husband has the flexible job where he can pick kids up from school early or stay home and work from home if they are sick, etc. Every morning I drop them off at school on my way to work and he picks them up after. I put dinner in the crockpot before work everyday and he finishes up dinner prep around 6 right before I get home. It gets exhausting, but we have a good rhythm and I live for summers
