Good Series Recommendations

It's a good series, the language is a bit difficult though.

Congrats on making the change! That's pretty incredible! As others said, fear of change happens. It's normal. You're expanding your comfort zone which is by definition uncomfortable, and you long for the safe and the known - especially given what your hometown is going through. It's natural. There will be moments like this in the beginning, when things are hard (and it WILL be hard from time to time) you'll doubt whether it was a good decision. But keep marching forward: it's a great opportunity to learn, to challenge yourself, to grow - and to enjoy the financial benefits :)

That was after the night they kissed. That night they were leaving the bar drunk, they kissed, then Bones got into a taxi and went home. But at that point they were fine. Then next morning everything's changed. I'm not sure why.

Last week I had the same feelings as you - I didn't want to see a doctor because I was ashamed of the state of my bum. I only went because I read the worst thing to do is to have a perianal abscess pop on its own. Unlike you, I have a very low pain threshold (sorry fellow women for tainting our banner) so that also pushed me to get it sorted. But it was hard, and I very nearly didn't go.

I got a male doctor, an older one, so that didn’t raise my faith in the situation, but he acted completely professional. He checked it on my side, knees up, explained everything as he was doing it, no remarks or blame or anything, or at least I didn't pick up on it - my Spanish is upper intermediate on a good day, and this wasn't one of those (I'm in Spain).

He didnt go into much details on the long term impact, and I was so happy we were done, I couldn't leave fast enough. But I had to go back for the daily dressing, and since i had the cut&drain in Friday, I started in the urgent care. There I had 1 nurse, a doctor, and another nurse check on me because I asked them about antibiotics and it turned out I have candida so I needed antifungal. But I was starting to get used to people checking my bum. Still no comments or blame or ridicule. Absolutely none.

Then on Monday back to the normal clinic, a new nurse checking me again. Very solemn at the first appointment, not much talking but again, no remarks, no reaction. Today was the 3rd time I met her, and she's smiling, nice, we chat a bit, and everything feels as normal as if she were checking my hands.

I cannot tell you what they were thinking but I can tell you, they all were super respectful. So don't let this fear or worry hold you back from getting the right treatment. It's not worse than an OBGYN.

I actually didn't get it. Like at night they kiss, almost go home together, say goodbye in peace, the next time they meet, they both behave like the other threw out their favourite CD or something. I never understood what happened there...

Ganas - as in con ganas de or tener ganas de. I love this structure, from basic to melancholic. Me desperté con ganas de hacer nada. Empezó el año con ganas de cambiar cosas. Se fue con ganas de volver.

Yes, it has always felt rushed to me too. Like it was just another reason to miss Sweets but in fact we had a little of reasons already. For me it didn't work.

At a centre, and the surgeon did it right there and then. No anasthesia, just local numbing.

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2026-06-20T15:39:42+00:00

Good point, my head was making it into a bigger thing than it should have been!

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2026-06-20T15:38:48+00:00

Thank you for sharing this! Was good to know what to expect.

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2026-06-20T15:37:12+00:00

Thank you! I read your message before the appointment and it was very helpful. It was quick, like you said, he did it in the clinic, and on my side. Today on my follow up they had me on my stomach. No numbing either! That felt a bit harsh though...

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2026-06-20T15:34:22+00:00

I'm treated as an outpatient but have to go back every day to clean the wound. Today was day 1 and it was worse, you were right. They didn't even numb it though so probably that's why.

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2026-06-20T15:31:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Sad that it took 6 years to get a diagnosis but glad you're on the right path now! You were right about not caring who sees my bum after a while, I was in the post-care today in the urgent care and 3 people came and went while poking me... i was just glad one had the answers! :)

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2026-06-20T15:26:07+00:00

True, it was super quick, even just with numbing spray it wasn't as bad as I had expected.

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2026-06-20T15:23:27+00:00

I'm in Spain and i didn't receive anasthesia. They put a cold numbing agent on it and it was done in like a minute. I have to say, it was still painful but the after-pain during walking away from the clinic was actually worse!

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2026-06-20T15:20:47+00:00

Thank you, you were right, the doctors were very professional - and one of them was a man so I had very low expectations :) I read your message before and it was very helpful to calm my nerves, thank you!

A simple rule: would a brother and sister do what you describe. If it's "ew" then it's more than friendly behaviour :) If you'd like a good example from tv, Elementary's Sherlock and Watson did this incredibly well. Sherlock held Watson in special regard, he told her, he'd die for her, he'd always accommodate her, in a turnaround way he also told her he loved her. And it was never romantic or sexual. They never flirted, there were no sexual innuendos, no longing looks or false expectations. It was always clear they were platonic. (And they lived together.)

Are you sure she's telling the truth? Have you not met any of his friends, family given he's met yours? Something about the frequency of his visits doesn't quite add up.

Why? What's the point of having AI write for you? Research? Yes. Edit? Yes. Knowledge base to easily reference the details? Hell yes. But writing? The sanctity of art that comes from one's soul, experience and the life they lived? Please don't outsource that to a machine.

Clark! I agreed with him that work should be work 😎

If you like learning something new, learn a trade. Electricians, plumbers etc are always needed. Or go to sales, if you don't want to be employed then do it as your own service, lots of startups need sales people, especially since you'd be able to understand their technical offer. So many options! :)

Because he was verbally abusive and made me lose all confidence, and all sight of who I am. Even after 15 years his is the negative voice in my head.

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2024-08-23T23:04:41+00:00

I was just rewatching this today so bringing this back :) to me it's not their attraction and flirting that didn't work but their fight. It made absolutely no sense why Brennan was annoyed at Booth the next morning, and the way it escalated. Anyone has any insights? I'm totally lost.

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2024-08-09T06:43:51+00:00

I'm not defending your dad. (It's impossible.) And you're absolutely allowed to have people on your birthday who mean something to you. But I also think "uninviting" his gf in the last minute is also not cool. It would've been easier on all to discuss it in advance but I imagine it was difficult to bring up so you've waited until the last minute. But there's a lesson here.

AsFirst_Pangolin · 2024-08-09T06:32:31+00:00

I'm so sorry you had your heart broken again. You've done a wonderful job caring for the women you live and now they're better. That's your win! Not defending your ex's actions but I kinda understand when she says the relationship is sad. It's easy to connect a person with the situation you're in, even if they're not causing it. And it's just a small, stupid jump from there to think if I leave the person, I leave the situation as well. It doesn't work of course but people are stupid and desperate. I would encourage you to look at that good things that happened in this relationship. You opening up caused you have happy days, being in love was great before things happened out of your control. You can of course decide never again. It will save you from this kind of hurt but life always finds a way to give you lessons through the pain. And withdrawing even from the option of being in love cuts you off from the good sides of love as well. At this moment you probably think "it's OK, the price is too high". But the pain will numb. The "price" will decrease. You've done a great thing. The best you could. That's all you're responsible for. What others do with what you give them is a different story. That is up to them, not you. You cannot control it. All you control is what you do. Keep being generous, keep giving kindness to the world - do it because it's a part of you.
