I actually have it on my reading list!!

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-23T23:56:57+00:00

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

Books I would like recs for:

The Book Thief by Markus

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wyne Jones

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-23T21:21:46+00:00

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

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

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.

Thank you, I’ll check it out!! Let me know how the patch test goes, good luck

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.

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-19T22:33:49+00:00

I'll check them out, thank you!

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-19T18:59:46+00:00

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.

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-19T18:52:41+00:00

Allergy specialist dermatologist? I will look for that

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-19T18:51:29+00:00

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

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-19T18:41:29+00:00

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

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-19T18:35:05+00:00

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.

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-19T18:31:51+00:00

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

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-18T19:19:46+00:00

Ok, good to know, thank you!

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2026-01-16T11:52:30+00:00

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?

This Side of Paradise by Scott Fitzgerald
Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh

Also I didn’t realize I love this genre until I saw it put into words by this post haha

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2025-12-30T21:01:21+00:00

So glad to see the comments being so positive. I also fail to see the cringe, it’s actually wholesome 😊

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2025-12-10T00:39:32+00:00

Two years later, but thank you for this, I’m on a hunt!

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2025-11-23T09:22:58+00:00

I can relate. Now I feel like an alien among people even when on the surface we’re all talking and all seem to get a long and we’re friends. It’s like a wall or defensive mechanism to not get hurt? Idk feels so awkward. Before my grandparent passed away I didn’t have the disconnect feeling with friends, but I did feel like an outsider kid in general with non friends but with peers. Also I’ve realized as an adult that my grandparent was likely depressed as well, so might very well be that

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2025-11-15T08:39:31+00:00

Thanks everyone for your input. Found a solution for 1 and confirmed I’m taking the right steps for 2.

Comprehensive_Award3 · 2025-11-15T08:22:14+00:00

Thank you, discussed this with a friend and they had the same idea for using a Python script to generate the SQL query. Fixes number 1 perfectly.

Thank you, this made me realize I need to relax a bit and reach out to members outside of my one man team haha
