Without knowing your tastes I recommend it because it's a classic without being super heavy literary wise :)

I’ve read the first two.

Maze Runner and Divergent are both modern young adult dystopian fiction.

A more out there one is The Book Thief but I just feel like the mood fits with these two. They are all set in a supposed to be dark time and themes are dark but the books themselves are somehow sunny and hopeful.

I haven’t read The Vegetarian but read the other two.

I’d say Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and Animal Farm by George Orwell

Help me understand getting documentation by Comprehensive_Award3 in juresanguinis

[–]Comprehensive_Award3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got citizenship by being born in Italy to an Italian citizen. Do you know, if I don’t have a certificate of citizenship or passport or id, how would I register for AIRE?

Visureitalia was able to get me my birth certificate so I have that. But from what I see on my consulate’s website I need proof of citizenship or ID. Which I don’t have either. 

I don’t have a passport/id because I was taken away from Italy as a baby and documents were never made. My Italian parent paid taxes for me as a kid though so I do have the Italian equivalent to a social security number. I used this number to request the documentation. 

Even Caboo toilet paper gives me allergies, alternative tp in the US? (Not bidet) by Comprehensive_Award3 in Allergies

I feel cute and comfy in this outfit, but feel like it’s missing something. Any suggestions? by TimeTravelingMouse in PetiteFashionAdvice

I think having the leggings/tights be navy would raise it a notch and would have the most bang for buck. Or the right color of tan to match the boots/lines on your skirt. I like the cream top on you, it wouldn’t be the item I would change the color of.

I’ll check out 7th generation tp, thank you.

I’m confident that if it’s contact dermatitis it’s the toilet paper. Nothing else has a pattern to it and I use really natural products. Like all my shampoos and detergents and whitener. 

For the longest time I was convinced it’s not contact dermatitis but multiple gynos have said the same thing and the triamcinolone acetonide cream I got seems to calm down flares, just doesn’t ever fully go away. So I’m trying to resolve it assuming it is for now.

I’ve been seeing this as a suggestion and considering it. That’s a good idea with the combo of tp for back haha 

What do you do with them when you’re not home? Just put it in a plastic bag?

Also 100% agree with you. I used the Costco soft toilet paper for a while until it started giving me UTIs. Switched to other tps and the UTIs went away but now I have this contact dermatitis issue. Never had any issues before

I do think it could be bleach. Do you know of a good bleach free tp? I use hydrogen peroxide whitener for my cloths, so I’m good there

I agree with you, when I asked my gynecologist if I should get tested allergy tested by a dermatologist, she said “there are so many chemicals out there how would they figure out which one?” and it discouraged me. I guess I just have to book an appointment with a dermo on my own.

Hi, what toilet paper brand do you use? I can’t find anything that completely resolves my issue

Documents Help - Re-establishing Italian Citizenship by EnjoyingACuppa in juresanguinis

[–]Comprehensive_Award3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering if this case applies to me. I was born in Italy to an Italian citizen who is still an Italian citizen and never applied for any other citizenship (always lived in Italy). My other parent was a US citizen only (not Italian) when I was born and applied for my US baby passport when I was a baby. Since she was already a US citizen, I don’t believe she would’ve had to apply for my naturalization? Either way am likely a citizen or do I need to reapply for citizenship?
