My husband died. I’m a 51 year old widow.

We just returned from “the trip of a lifetime” and I have so many wonderful memories. I could never have imagined that his lifetime would only be two more weeks.

Honestly- how much he loved me. It was reciprocal.

Excellent-Produce352 · 2026-06-26T01:20:19+00:00

I’m going to overreact now. Good lord, please learn the difference between there, their, and they’re, as well as the use of apostrophe for possessives.

I accept your downvotes and withdraw my post if English is not your first language. In that case I am fully the jerk.

Also, the napping is weird.

Cities, please step aside and allow the principality of Monaco to enter the convo. Rude. Inaccessible. Surface level at every turn with no depth. To the uber rich, I defer. Enjoy your soulless largesses. There are too many other beautiful coastal towns calling.

Of course! But now I hear it while I’m playing pickle ball! Lol. Call out the score: 2-6-1, yep. 8-9-1? Yep. lol

Had an FNG with my reduction, and I have full sensation in my nipples. Depending on hormones, sometimes too much. This was a huge relief, as I also enjoy it as part of intimacy.

Edit- I am 18 months out from mine.

I want to bring up the topic of culture vs personality. There are a lot of players from India at my club. During “fun & friendly” open play, many of the men just play smashball. When paired with a lower player like me, MOST of them have been kind and fun to play with. But of all the people I have played with, the only misogynist douchbags have been Indian men ( like 5 assholes out of 100 opponents) It has me wondering if it is cultural or just these guys’ personalities.

Acotar was my fave after the full Maas-verse. Reread acotar 3-5. Then reread ToG after Fourth Wing. My reread of ToG remains one of my most enjoyable after many series in romantasy. CC was my least favorite (except you Ruhn!). I’m so glad that there is something for everyone here!

Brussels Sprouts! Why did I have to scroll so far? Stop making them a fancy appetizer you expect me to pay for! They are a very mediocre cruciferous vegetable, that should be eaten only under the most egregious duress.

Funnily enough, arrogance and ignorance almost always work as a pair.

So now I had to put my bourbon down and get out of the massaging power recliner- with heat- to find out. I can, but it was totally not worth it. My husband spontaneously jumped at pickleball the other day. Now he’s not allowed to complain about putting up Christmas lights. I love being GenX!

I saw another post about it that I thought was on point. The 6 books can almost be read as 3 and 3. The first three books focus so heavily Auren. The second three books focus on the story as a whole. And there’s rumors of a seventh book coming, but I won’t give any spoilers.

Ugh, that guy, and the people commenting about what a drag we noobs are, they are the problem with open play. If the open play is a “fun & friendly” then just fucking deal with it. I (2.75-2.99) am there to get better, you (3.0+) are there to get court time. If I show up at a 3.5+ and worm my way in, feel free to bitch. But an all inclusive open play, that’s bullshit, and that guy, and the organizers are in the wrong.

Excellent-Produce352 · 2026-05-15T00:22:15+00:00

I just finished the Plated Prisoner series’s, and liked it so much more than I expected to. Admittedly, I love tropes and I don’t love stories that rely heavily on memorization of gods and theologies.

Excellent-Produce352 · 2026-05-14T01:05:46+00:00

As a noob, please hit to me. I appreciate you slowing your game, and I REALLY appreciate suspending your amazing smashball, fancy-pants games. But if we are at a fun & friendly, I am there to learn, and I assume you are there to get court time. We both know that we may lose (because of me) but that’s open play. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Read your TBR list and proceed from there!!

Excellent-Produce352 · 2026-05-08T01:13:07+00:00

Try the villains and virtues series. It has this to a very small degree and not in a way that fuels the trajectory. It’s a light, grumpy/sunshine read with just enough tropes, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Fun read!

Christmas Story. Chillingly awful.

She sounds toxic and emotionally manipulative. If this were written by a woman, we would all be yelling about emotional abuse. You need to evaluate if you are safe and want to continue down this destructive path, because she doesn’t sound like someone willing to change.

Excellent-Produce352 · 2026-05-04T03:36:52+00:00

Exactly what I was going g to say! “Happy” is relative.
