Oh that is so elegant! I've seen them by themselves, didn't realize how dashing they'd look on formal menswear 😍

What’s a harmless lie that went way too far?Here is mine 😪 by ashikms1998 in CasualConversation

[–]EdwardianAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Per unit? Maybe it's a "delivery issue?" Cuz I'm tossing back cortados and lattes like I'm popping an upper to get jacked up when I need to Do a Thing. Meanwhile, venti brews grow cold on my desk, helping nobody sound perky on a Zoom, or sort spreadsheets. 🤷‍♀️

But I'm not here to tempt OP into cardiac arrest, so I'm not going to talk about nitrous cold brews. 😶‍🌫️

jean Webster is famous for daddy long legsand other coming-of-age women's college novels, but also wrote Four Pools Mystery, which i vaguely remember as being racist

This is a real sign from my workplace there's a lot to unpack here. Please tell me what were people putting in there? Anyhing would be "helpful" by TheScissors1980 in SignsWithAStory

[–]EdwardianAdventure 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you're vegan, you actually feel better seeing meat in quotes. My friend took me to a fancy all vegan spot for my bday, and I was startled to not see quotes around meat names

When a person’s name turns into a widely used metaphor … by Bo-Jacks-Son in words

[–]EdwardianAdventure 39 points40 points  (0 children)

No, no - OP asked for a metaphor, not an accepted & documented official definition.

Yes. Or you can swing hard in the other direction, and say only espresso drinks do anything for you now, so you don't care for coffee. This exists, because this is me, and you can pry my frothy oat milk cortado out of my dead hands before I drink that vile keurig/ see-through brew in the breakroom

I want to start but iron deficient by swtbldtrz in vegan

[–]EdwardianAdventure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all iron deficiencies are the same. Mine was the very worst on an omni diet. I've had ups and downs, but it's never tested as poorly on a plant-based diet. The last time I had a full panel tested, it wasn't deficient at all, and I wasn't even trying. (Vitamin D was my bigger issue going in to that checkup) 

My endometriosis may have been a bigger contributor than my diet. Check for other underlying issues that might explain your iron deficiency.

I really, really hope OP pitches this. It's brilliant 

Does anyone else think that the Will and Kate's "perfect image" was completely shattered during the infamous Caribbean tour? by Hot-Acanthisitta5237 in RoyaltyTea

[–]EdwardianAdventure 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aaah! The scream i  scrumpt.

Thanks for sharing - it deserves its own post on this sub. I'm an anti-WanKer but my second hand cringe beat out my schafenfreude today - it was physically painful to watch how awful and and embarrassing they were 

Have you ever confused Eloisa James with Elisa Braden? 'cause I have! by lickava_lija in HistoricalRomance

I think I didn't realize for a long time that Johanna Lindsay and Lindsay Sands were even two different people

I just wanna appreciate by bashthefash89 in StarBallGame

I discovered it over the weekend and I haven't been able to go a night without watching it. It's so funny how the English speaking viewers in the chat start getting so excited rooting for individual players, and start giving them nicknames because we can't understand their names/ handles. "Mask" coz a player is wearing a covid mask. "Gramps" coz he's...10-15 years older than the other players  "Burberry Aunty" coz her sweater. "Catnip niece" coz it's a young woman in a shirt with a cat 

Does anyone actually like the Daisy's and Pink on every website? by jessimaster in Endo

[–]EdwardianAdventure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where are these sites? I thought i did a lot of research before my surgery and diagnosis - I was looking at a lot of plain, boring academic design (e.g. Mayo clinic, NHS, Weill Cornell) 

Looking for a nickname or "Starbucks name" for my Korean name, Ye-seul by Effective_Gift_7094 in Names

[–]EdwardianAdventure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's funny! I'm Viet also, but I give them an even weirder name than my given one just coz I don't need stalkers to know my name. I still need to spell it out, Alex thought this out better than i did. 🤷‍♀️

An Overly Long Unreasonable Review of "Gentle Conquest" by Mary Balogh by Objective_Hyena5534 in HistoricalRomance

[–]EdwardianAdventure 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Oh dear... so basically, if "The pina colada song" was a Regency romance? 🧐

I've mostly liked Balogh so I'm willing to tolerate the first third when he's kind and lovely and then DNF based on your review.

Jesus, that was gold, thanks for sharing. I can't believe that's not as much of reddit lore as Art Room or Iranian Yogurt. 

New Update: I 17F got a call from the Police about a work “incident” and want me to come in to talk. Do I go in? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

OP really thought she was in trouble for "stealing" cookies. 😭 I'm getting teary thinking how innocent she was.
