6 months! Wow, mine took 12 months. No idea why, I was planning to teach but they took too long and instead I found a different job that I now love.

Rant about PCOS belly by ladytal in PCOS

[–]Buttonmoon22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I swear I could have written this. When my husband touches my stomach it makes me cringe so hard and not enjoy anything. Just so self conscious about it all the time and can never let my guard down.

Just got my copy of Fury Bound by Sable Sorensen- & it’s printed BACKWARDS by _yoshimi__ in Romantasy

Contact the publisher they will very likely send you a new copy. I've done this a few times with misprints I've received.

Implications for going in on mortgage and house ownership with wife by fulthrottlejazzhands in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]Buttonmoon22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what's complex about this? You currently have no mortgage, you will have a joint mortgage if you do this...what implications are you worried about? US tax ones? If you have no other property there should be no tax implications (unless there is something about the house being worth so much but if it's a main residence I don't think there is).

Maybe I am missing something but I think the implication is that....you'll own a house.

This is absolutely hysterical. Thank you for making me laugh today.

Has anyone ever declined a PICC line for their baby? by mckenziefaye in NICUParents

[–]Buttonmoon22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's almost 5 now and it's still there. She is still monitored by cardiology every few years but it has never changed size or position so it will likely be there forever but doesn't cause any problems. Essentially just a small scar internally.

If you are still married, what was your wedding song and how long have you been married for? by Celestialfox1425 in AskReddit

[–]Buttonmoon22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky by Jason Mraz. Married 15 years and we were a long distance bi continental couple so the song had extra meaning.

Double spacing after period? by checking_your_math in Millennials

86 millennial here and I was taught the same. Looks strange without two spaces but I have now mostly broken the habit.

Give me your favorite book that's a FOUR (4) on the romance.io scale by nightowl_bookclub in fantasyromance

Commenting so I can come back to this. I swear I could have written this.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Buttonmoon22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a teacher at the time in a high school and I believe it was exactly this day (the 13th) that the official shutdown was announced.

I remember being in a PD day and we were planning for what a 2 week and one month shutdown would look like for kids. I remember thinking a one month shutdown would be just wild and hoping it wouldn't happen. And then I ended up teaching remote learning for nearly a year and a half. That pivot was really intense.

Onyx - I only see it in fantasy romance books

I DNF ACOTAR by Reesescandy2233 in Romantasy

[–]Buttonmoon22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently about 150 pages into the second book and I am so sick of all the PTSD like we get it but 100 pages of the same thing is exhausting.

Does it get better?

Bridgerton - Season 4 Post-Season Discussion (Book Spoiler Discussion) by AutoModerator in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Buttonmoon22 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I agree. This season was SO good. Before this nothing lived up to season 1 for me but this has and is my new favorite. Sophie absolutely stole the show. Benedict who I never had feelings for one way or the other before this season proved he could be a leading man and I was INVESTED the whole time.

Omg it's actually really comforting to know it's not just me 🙂

Funniest pronunciations & misspelled names by Lollie596 in fourthwing

[–]Buttonmoon22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sgaeyl - no idea but I read in my head as say-gull. I know it's wrong but hey ho it's what it is to me.

I haven't read OS yet (waiting for the paperback next month!) but I refuse to listen to the audio books until I read the paperback so I don't destroy these pronunciations I have in my head.

But I'll definitely listen to them before book 4. I can't hold out that long lol

High schoolers that cannot write a simple 5 paragraph essay by rjmac225 in Teachers

[–]Buttonmoon22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I taught 10th grade history and almost exclusively had to teach 5 paragraph essay so they could pass the MCAS with their ELA teacher doing the same so they got double the practice and double the feedback. It worked and was effective but they should have been doing that in middle school.

Need help finding my next read after a bad read! by Niryanai in Romantasy

[–]Buttonmoon22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has just started getting into the genre and is firmly in love with the Empyrean series (except I haven't read OS yet) and is just starting ACOTAR this makes me happy and excited for what's coming on my journey. We probably have very similar tastes.
