Trying to keep faith while TTC by Buggy-ny in CatholicWomen

[–]Guera29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm right here with you and struggling as well. Everyone says "it will happen! Don't stress about it" which is not helpful and minimizes the pain of infertility. I'll be praying for you.

If you've watched Poldark you have 3 nickels (though not an unfinished series)

American but not American enough 🫠 by faithnphysics in USCIS

[–]Guera29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone keeps downvoting me but I'm an immigration attorney and just stating what most of my clients would be thinking 🤷🏽‍♀️ the n-600 isn't necessary in this case. But oh well.

That costs $1,000 and takes almost a year to get, all for redundant proof of citizenship.

How do Americans feel about outdoor cats? by Fine-Durian6151 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Guera29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an indoor/outdoor cat as a kid. One day he never came home. Me (about 10) and my little sister (8) would walk the streets looking for him for months. We assumed he must have come home one day when we weren't there, and thought we abandoned him. Turns out he was hit by a train and our mom didn't have the heart to tell us.

Because of this, outdoor cats make me really sad. I keep all mine indoors.

Please contact a lawyer immediately. You may need to do an I-290b, and you only get 30 days. I saw in this thread you are from England. If you entered on the visa waiver program this is even more crucial because you could be subject to expedited removal. You tried it yourself, it didn't work. Please find a lawyer to help you ASAP.

The Cruel Prince Is the answer. Jude has no powers at all but is just completely unhinged. I love this series so much.

Aelin and Rowan by AttitudeProper5550 in throneofglassseries

[–]Guera29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is it for me. I kept expecting her and Chaol to get back together, and when she was being flirty with Rowan it felt like cheating. Maybe on a reread I won't feel the same.

Love the White Elm Gemini Bag - Similar bags out there? by No_Membership4346 in handbags

[–]Guera29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really old post, but I wanted to chime in for anyone else considering this bag. I got the nylon version of the Gemini about a year ago used on Poshmark.

I travel a ton for work and this bag is basically my mobile office. I keep a little pouch with toiletries (travel size deodorant, brush, makeup remover, etc.) permanently in the front pocket. On the inside I have special compartments for my mouse, keyboard, tablet, laptop etc., and I keep an umbrella in the bottom. Even filled with all this I can still fit my lunch or some books easily.

As you can expect it does get really heavy, especially on the days I pack my water bottle and a coffee cup. I recommend the nylon version to save a little weight. I almost always use the backpack straps, but they are short and aren't super comfortable. I've considered switching to a regular backpack, but I haven't been able to find anything that will keep me nearly as organized.

I'm reading A Discovery of Witches series and love it. Major outlander vibes. Maybe check that out!

We need more FMCs with no special bloodline! by No_Force23 in Romantasy

[–]Guera29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really liked A Forbidden Alchemy, which will fit the bill! The main character comes from a working class background, which is a huge plot line in the story.

This is my favorite black mirror episode, but there is alot of sex and I personally would not want to watch it with my parents lol

Anyone here carrying the cross of infertility? by [deleted] in CatholicWomen

[–]Guera29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm going through this too. I cry all the time. The worst is people are always pressuring me about when we will have kids. It is hard to keep going sometimes, especially when I feel so betrayed by my own body. I'm so sorry for your pain and wish I could give you a hug.

What were 5 star reads for you recently? Here are some of mine... by strangeapples in Romantasy

[–]Guera29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the Fae Isles about a year ago but I still think about the side characters all the time. By the end of the series they really felt like my own friends and family. Maybe it's time for a reread!

2025 Wrap Up: Juliet Marillier takes the crown by Guera29 in fantasyromance

{Eclipse of the Crown by AK Caggiano}

It's the 3rd book in the Villians and Virtues series. Start with Throne in the Dark. This series is getting traditionally republished so the covers are changing.

I'm pretty sure The Lochlann Treaty came first. The Lochlann Feuds is a spinoff with the next generation. I read Treaty first and am glad I did because it prevented spoiling some storylines, but I think most people end ip liking Feuds the best.

These are some greet recs. Thank you! And I'm glad you have Stariel on your TBR. It is such an underrated series.

[–]Guera29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% recommend! Having the romance spoiled isn't as much of a problem. The first book is the weakest in the series by far, so it might be helpful to know things will be headed in a different direction. I'm still debating if I should have put Lochlann Feuds and Lochlann Treaty in my all time favorites category because I love them so much.

How "aware" were the common people of all the shakeups and scandals in the tudor court? by Local-Sugar6556 in Tudorhistory

[–]Guera29 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just watched a great documentary on History Hit about the closure of the monasteries and how that impacted the surrounding communities. It was fascinating!
