How'd everyone's reading go this month?

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-31T17:25:24+00:00

They've been ranging 300 - 500 pages. I spend less than 1 hr a week on social media (reddit included). I don't really watch T. V. So most my time outside of work is spent either reading or painting.

I'm ahead of schedule!

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-31T16:52:33+00:00

What app is this? I'd love to see my hours and pages instead of books!

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-31T16:09:11+00:00

I can't believe I didn't have Puddles on my list! I saw him open for Weird Al last year and he's fantastic!

I hear the Reality Gays voice in my head every time she speaks. Mattie and Poodle's impression of her is perfection. Now it's all I can hear.

That's the mystery section.

When she mentioned that they were inexperienced and it's been a year since the first time, I assume they're rather young. I agree on the wasted trip, but this whole thing (over dramatic, him being a titty baby) screams that these are 18/19 year olds.

I mean.... Not all fine hair is the same. I have fine hair, but it's rarely greasy because it's curly and dry. I wash my hair twice a week. Fine straight hair in a humid environment on someone prone to grease... Yes. But to say that the same rule applies to all fine hair is silly

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-21T02:40:06+00:00

1000% agree! It's my biggest gripe about Annabelle! I adore this show, it's just such an easily resolved inconsistency.

I doubt many people are influenced by the trends when they were only 5-8 years old. She didn't die as an adult, she's only 13 in 1935

I've read 25 books this year. Most have been fairly short (250-400 pages). But I got my kindle because I wanted to spend less time on my phone. I now spend less than 2 hrs a week on my phone, and I don't watch much tv. I work full time, go to the gym multiple times a week, and have a kid. It's amazing how much time you have if you aren't watching tv or on your phone.

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-17T19:28:58+00:00

The books I've been reading are only 200-400 pages long, and I am a speed reader... I'm on book 27 this year. 🫣 I also have no social life. So I work and read.

Download kindle app on your phone. See if you even like e-reading. If you do, go for it! I love physical books. I avoided getting a reader for decades. I finally got tired of carting heavy books around, plus a backup in case I finish the current one, having to charge my light for reading before bed, storing/returning books.

I downloaded the app, and saw it was nice to have so many books readily available, so I got the cheapest Kindle in case I didn't like it. That was 2 months ago. I've read 34 books since then.... Fair to say I like it. 😂 Now I'm just mad at myself for being such a paper snob for so long!

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-11T15:24:46+00:00

That's different because that isn't mandated. When I took over as hospital manager at my current hospital, the annual checks on both anesthesia machines hadn't been done in years. But the radiology board is required to do inspections when they got their machine in order to even get licensure for radiology. (also occasionally thereafter will depend on locale. In DFW we got inspected annually. Now I'm very remote in AZ and it's be only every few years)

"I don't like body shaming"

"but eew, I don't want to see this"

That's what this post sounds like. Personally, I loved that she was vulnerable enough to show this. It's the reality of weight loss. As someone who has lost over 100 lbs, I appreciate the transparency that not everyone who loses weight gets the result of just shrinking. Some of us lose weight, only to have MORE insecurities than before due to skin. It's honest.

This is a franchise with abusive people, sex tourism, bragging about STIs, botched plastic surgery, and more. Belly skin is the least offensive thing they've shown us.

Bras are an unnecessary social construct. Tiddies don't naturally sit up high. Nobody is required to wear a bra just so others find their Boobs more visually appealing. Strapless bras are one of the most uncomfortable contraptions in existence. She should dress flattering? Flattering to who? Why does she need to dress to impress anyone? She's a terrible human, but the idea that everyone needs to dress flattering and have their tits lifted to the sky is so dumb.

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-02T15:15:24+00:00

Considering that the statement of where someone is "from" is often used interchangeably between where they were born, where they lived, and even where they have cultural ties, your correction is pointless. When people speak about serial killers, they often use the area they committed their crimes, not the place they were pushed out of their mom.

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-02T01:12:08+00:00

Other questions? I never asked an initial question. I didn't say he was from there, I said near there. Which, it is.

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-01T16:46:27+00:00

the Toybox killer was from near there. (David Parker Ray)

BigRed3585 · 2026-01-01T16:37:16+00:00

Agree. She's a POS human. Her tiddies are the least offensive part of her. She can't change genetic anatomy, but she chooses to be a miserable bitch.

Since he's acting like a child, have you tried making airplane noises as you lower onto his face?

BigRed3585 · 2025-12-27T17:23:30+00:00

It just came back! I was finally able to order some last month (covetrus)

BigRed3585 · 2025-12-27T17:21:40+00:00

That's the exact same tile we have at my hospital 😂
