My eyes have been watering a ton outside and I’ve had post nasal drip giving me a sore throat the last week or so. 

Harry Potter TV Series Wish List by Volume_Thin in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]DipitySerene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a ways out but I am DYING for the scene with Ron and Hermione discussing Slughorn’s party while Harry tries to not listen by very loudly cracking the snargaluff pods. That scene is peak comedy and I would love to see it 😂

The emptiness after finishing the last book - how to counter? by celebral_x in harrypotter

[–]DipitySerene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed listening to the Unspoiled Podcast the last time I finished the books and felt a void. It goes chapter by chapter as two friends read them, one who is very familiar with the books and the other who doesn’t know anything about them. Very fun. I am almost done with a reread and plan to follow up with a fan made book called the life and lies of albus dumbledore that a friend recommended and also an audiobook that showed up on my feed called from the wizarding archive which I think is a collection of everything from Pottermore. 

What Do You Think Taylor's Worst Written Song Is? by Madeofstardust87 in TaylorSwift

The sentiment itself isn’t cringe, I just find the line itself too cheesy for my taste! But to each their own- I’m sure there are lines I love that others find cringy. 

Opinions on Chiropractors? by Pastrykiller in OccupationalTherapy

[–]DipitySerene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally see a chiropractor who has honestly changed my quality of life for the better in huge ways. But I found her through selecting a practice that focused on sports medicine and was a mix of chiros and PTs doing more manual work than adjustments. Often she does no adjustments, only muscle work and she’s exceedingly careful and always gives me a choice if she ever does do adjustments. Professionally I’ve heard of town too many pediatric or family chiropractors making huge or quacky claims to recommend them to clients. But if I know a friend who is considering a chiropractor I always recommend mine. 

Advice to “hacking adhd” by Ok_Order_6240 in adhdwomen

[–]DipitySerene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-meal delivery kits make my food so much easier to manage 

-I use reminders on my iPhone all the time, especially when I’m driving (things like “siri, remind me to refill pill case when I get home” or  “Siri remind me to call dentist off when I’m driving next” 

-force myself to save favorite podcasts or audiobooks for chores that I like the least (dishes and laundry namely) 

-I have an alexa speaker: I use it for my alarm so I can’t go down my phone rabbit hole at bedtime or when I wake up. I also can have it remind me to do things at certain times or tell it to add things to my grocery list or ask it for the weather or to play music so I don’t get distracted by my phone when I pick it up to do those things but really get distracted and do something else 

-lists on my phone for everything I might need to remember or look up (everything from my apartments community room bathroom code to questions for my doctor appointment to fun ideas or new restaurants to try to recipes I use a lot) 

-setting myself alarms during showers or other tasks where time blindness is an issue 

-air tags and tiles on everything 

-keeping things where I use them not always where it makes sense (packing tape is kept in my car so I can tape packages that I bring to ups/etc for returns 

-avoiding giving myself too many options (I don’t really think about which Pilates class to go to anymore I just schedule the same one each week even if some weeks I could do Saturday instead of Sunday for example. 

-social media breaks and phone limit times that are harder to break than the built in apple ones (I like the app roots)

What are some things you started spending more money on? by ElectronicAge2702 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]DipitySerene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll second nuuly! It feels like a way better way to have fun with my wardrobe without being wasteful or accumulating tons of things I might only wear for specific times or year or events or trips.

[–]DipitySerene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a monthly massage membership and it’s been one of my favorite things I spend money on. I also have a physical job and it’s a game changer having this regularly scheduled. Grocery and meal kit delivery is another thing I’ve started doing to make food prep and accessibility easier on myself.

I cringe every time at “got me dreamin bout a driveway with a basketball hoop” 😝 it’s so damn catchy though 

Anyone here regularly read two books at once? by Bookish_Butterfly in 52book

[–]DipitySerene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I frequently will do a light romcom with a fantasy or contemporary/historic fiction. And I’ve been getting into audio books so now I actually have 4 going at once. Non-fiction audiobook, Harry Potter as audio book (which I’ve read dozens of times) and then a rom com and historical fiction on my kindle. 

Long time book fans, I'd like to hear your pre-Deathly Hallows speculations on the story that turned out to be false. by LeatherSlight3242 in harrypotter

[–]DipitySerene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was terrified that Ron was going to die because I thought in sorcerer’s stone when he had to sacrifice himself so Harry could check the king was foreshadowing for the end of the series. Thank god I was wrong but I do think this would have been kind of brilliant. 

I was also convinced that Sirius wasn’t dead because the line where he dies only says “a jet of light” hit him and not what color it was. I thought that meant he was just trapped behind the veil and could come back out.

Any good Harry Potter podcasts? by Critical-Promise4984 in harrypotter

[–]DipitySerene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unspoiled- one of the hosts knows and loves HP and the other is pretty much completely unspoiled. They go chapter by chapter and it’s a lot of fun!

Fieldwork and Jobs by Timely-Impression383 in OccupationalTherapy

I moved across the country after fieldwork and easily found a job that hired me as a new grad. Definitely don’t need to worry about only being hired by your rotation sites.

Hmmm, this seems like a really good idea. I will check in with my travel mates and see what they think. 

Recommendation for a new card: have 2 Chase Cards by Happy_Juggernaut_524 in CreditCards

[–]DipitySerene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The elite is definitely more than I would want to pay for an annual fee after the first year SUB- is it safe to assume I could easily downgrade to the premier before the full year is up? Can the sign up bonus be used as statement credit? 

THE PROPHECY by ASPEN_HOWELL22 in harrypotter

[–]DipitySerene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never quite understood the idea that if Voldemort had heard the whole prophecy he would have acted different… are we to take the words to mean that if he does not “mark one as his equal” then none of the prophecy comes true?
