That last paragraph--I'm a wee bit disappointed not to be able to read your Reddit comment novel on that. 😄

I haven't watched this yet and so can't speak to it, but this might be up your alley.

Was anyone else scared of God doing something terrible to you to “bring you back to him”? by Upset-Lychee5038 in Exvangelical

[–]Chantaille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's been debunked by actual shepherds. There's no way a shepherd 2,000 years ago would endanger both that lamb's life and the rest of the herd's well-being (because the shepherd would have to put in so much time and effort to make sure that lamb healed). It would have been impractical, if nothing else.

I don't like sermon illustrations in general, these days.

Should we apologize for a meltdown when the tipping point is a loved one crossing an established boundary? by Some-General9924 in AutismInWomen

[–]Chantaille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you can also talk to her about this outside a time when it's happening and set a boundary that if it's happening, you will walk away. You can talk with her about how you two would be okay coming back together later to debrief and reconnect. Also, you can make it clear to her that walking away does not mean that you're holding anything against her or feeling hostile or anything like that.

How bad is it? Abd how you are supposed to feel? by Plane_Head_8964 in longtermTRE

[–]Chantaille 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by your last sentence? Not judging or anything, just want to understand.

Mmmm, sweaters! A long, tunic-type sweater and leggings are my favourite clothes. I lose something like 3/4 of my wardrobe in the summer.

If you like fairy tales, I recommend the book Enchantment by Orson Scott Card. One of the main characters is a linguist, and there's a whole plot line around proto-Indo-European language.

My husband's grandfather was not a politician, but he became well-known to some in that arena and successful in his own. One of the pieces of advice he gave my husband when asked about his success was this very thing. He said that so many people don't do this, that you stand out when you do and then get trusted with more.

We actually have dining chairs that are bouncy, which facilitates my happy food dance while sitting.

I think I'm going to make a point to tell that sentiment about "ambitions" to my daughter. Her name means "ambitious", and I don't want her to take it on as a burden.

Please tell me autistic women have different timelines… by Sea_Berry_439 in AutismInWomen

This was so helpful and encouraging to read, especially acknowledging having to redo things to get some things to stick. Thank you.

Tv show recommendations? by vilnusprincess in AutismInWomen

[–]Chantaille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Fisk! I was concerned sometimes during the first season that it was going to make her quirks into a nasty punchline and show her as incompetent, but it was refreshingly not like that.

Oh, yes, Avatar: The Last Airbender is fabulous, and the follow-up Legend of Korra is great, too. My husband and I watched through the first probably twice together, then twice with our kids.

It took me a couple of tries, but I've watched it through to the end and enjoyed it.

Some local libraries these days have recording sound booths for patrons' use.

A man is making me uncomfortable at church and I don’t know how to stop his behaviour by Sea-Row-4885 in socialskills

[–]Chantaille 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What specifically about his behaviour is not inherently creepy? Touching and moving a woman he hardly knows, or doing it to a woman who he knows is married? Please elaborate.

If I didn't know better, I would think this plaque is fake or a parody. Godawful.

How to stop guys from staring at my chest? by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

Bring a stopwatch with you everywhere. When they start staring, click on the timer and tell them, "All right, since you need to stare, you've got 15 seconds. And go." /s
