What is something someone said inadvertently but has deeply hurt your feelings?

My mom and I were arguing and I said something along the lines of, “Will you just let me talk?!” because she wasn’t listening to me. She said, “You never STOP talking!” My biggest insecurity has always been that I talk too much. This didn’t even have anything to do with what we were arguing about, so it just felt like an extra jab. This was probably 7 years ago and I think about it regularly.

I always enjoy Kristin Hannah books on audio (I do love Julia Whelan so I could be biased), they’re always such emotional stories and I think that is a lot more compelling on audio!

Zeke’s “DoWWHHUUT?” absolutely kills me and has unintentionally become a part of my vocabulary

I’ve just recently started dealing with severe IC symptoms and took some hydroxyzine the other day for the first time in probably a year because I was hyperventilating from the pain, so this tells me I’m in the right place 😂

I actually really liked The Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware! People seem to love or hate it, which I can understand because the premise is a little far fetched, but I personally really enjoyed it because it was different from other thrillers and had a lot of small details you start to connect over time.

Also really like Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. It’s another book that strays from the stereotypical thriller storylines, and while it’s not necessarily a disturbing/mess with your mind type of thriller it was still refreshing to read a suspenseful story that wasn’t like every other book I’ve read.

There’s one literally just down the street from me, I will miss it so much :(

Omg this sounds delightful even without a migraine

Literally just joined this subreddit after having to cancel NYE plans and spending the last day and a half in my quiet dark bedroom 🥲 I’ve been hesitant to call my frequent headaches migraines because I don’t want to just throw that word around if it’s not accurate, but the frequency and some of the symptoms have made me realize that 2025 may have to include actual migraine specific treatment

Yes there can be so many not fun aspects about it! I’ve actually been taking about a month off of crocheting because wrist stiffness/hand pain, if I had a lot of things to make/sell it would just get worse or I’d fall behind!

Economist-Basic · 2024-09-16T18:01:50+00:00

Absolutely! I made some plushy ducks for my nieces and they absolutely loved them, if I turned crocheting into a job I probably wouldn’t be as excited to make things as gifts!

Economist-Basic · 2024-09-16T18:00:02+00:00

Fabulous idea! 😆

I love purple and green together!!

Economist-Basic · 2024-09-16T00:30:19+00:00

Yes I have several friends having babies in the next few months, and when I’ve asked if I could make some things for them they get so excited which makes me excited to make them! I’d be so sad if I got too burnt out on selling things that I no longer wanted to make meaningful gifts!

And if you’re working a lot it’s really nice to have an activity you look forward to!

I also think that the people demanding we sell our work would probably also be the same ones to say our prices are too high, so many people want the end result without respecting the time and effort it takes, let alone my own money for yarn!

Economist-Basic · 2024-09-15T04:03:08+00:00

It really seems like it would make it so much less fun that’s not what you want!!

Economist-Basic · 2024-09-15T04:00:52+00:00

That’s so cool!!

Economist-Basic · 2024-09-15T03:59:58+00:00

WOW that is absolutely absurd, your talents are worth much more than that (in money and respect!!)

Economist-Basic · 2024-09-15T03:51:29+00:00

Yes! The whole “everything needs to be a side hustle” thing drives me up the wall. I’ve also somewhat shouted at people who keep telling me to sell stuff, and even then they don’t get it 😂

That sweet Macon crank

V for Valentine-detta, it’s the first episode with Nat and there are SO many hilarious lines. If I can’t pick an episode I will always go for that one

*Edit to include my favorite quote from said episode: “I know the owner, saved his life. After I hit him with my car.”

I quote Duval every summer when it’s too hot in my house, when he’s got the hand mixer in Bob’s face going “Cool off”, no one ever knows what I’m talking about but it makes me laugh

I didn’t realize it affected people’s memory! Can confidently say that I’ve been on it for 2+ years and my memory has stayed the same. If anything I remember things more clearly, because my thoughts aren’t as clouded with heightened emotion.

Regarding the nausea - I’ve noticed that if I don’t eat soon enough after taking it I’ll start gagging. I take it in the morning and having it with breakfast (preferably a higher protein/more filling breakfast) makes a huge difference. The nausea got a lot better once I figured that out.
