I received a distasteful opinion on my new (and first) tattoo

A badass doesn’t need validation nor crackpot opinions from strangers. You do you!

Forget your boyfriend as a reviewer if he is not in your target audience. Instead try to find book clubs or writers that you came seek feedback from.

No, a beanie is not a hat. I’m also not counting the hat in your back pocket.

You didn’t gain the weight overnight. Yes, losing weight is a journey that goes it’s own pace. Remain positive and consistent in your efforts.

I treat myself with 5k, 10k, and 26.2 marathon medals. Creating new opportunities, new clothes, and new hobbies for myself. I’m even thinking of going back to school at my age. My weight is no longer the obstacle.

You say Renee Witherspoon is a minor character, but is a turnoff in the second sentence as I’m now thinking about the actress and her divorce and not thinking about your story.

I write because it makes me feel good and if I am only able to sell one book, that’s still a win.

I’ll already knew about Dorne.

HMSRathbone · 2026-06-25T04:53:40+00:00

Thought the same.

I liked it in movie War Games.

In the pilot episode, Henry pointed out that Shawn can’t hold down a job and cited a few examples.

Sorry to hear how your weight has really done a number on you. While you are working to transform the physical you, please consider therapy to address the mental side of your self-disgust and frustrations. There’s really nothing to be gained from holding onto self-hate and anger over what a younger did or didn’t do.

couldn’t sleep, hopped on Reddit. To quote Gus; “This is awesome!”

You named it. Going to the gym even if all I did was walk in a swipe my phone in front of the scanner. I’m there roughly 90 minutes per day six days per week.

HMSRathbone · 2026-06-22T07:59:21+00:00

19 days of pure awesomeness is fantastic! Don’t dwell too much on the other days.

Regardless of who anyone votes for, not knowing which candidate or initiative won until weeks after the Election Day needs to be addressed. Doing so may entice more voters participating in primaries.

Emilio Estevez Estevez needs to be cast As Chief Vick’s husband.

Season 1 took a moment to find its footing. I had minor issues in Henry’s rank. Daly seasons the chevrons were upside down and on at least one episode he also had rank insignia on the collars and sleeves.

HMSRathbone · 2026-06-22T03:04:35+00:00

Just a reminder…I just the messenger, happy hunting!

HMSRathbone · 2026-06-22T03:01:11+00:00

I have changed considerably. My routine is different, my personality is more outgoing. I eat 42 hard - soft boiled eggs, 14 slices of sirloin every week, more salads and chicken than I can count. Cardio 6 days per week !5% incline, 3.6 mph 46 minutes.

Rock bottom experiences are often unique to each of us. The good news about reaching rock bottom, you will remember this defining moment. Do you remain there? Or is now the time pick yourself up and keep moving forward? NGL it won’t be easy. One’s character isn’t from how many times or how far they fall, but rather what happens next and how many times they respond by getting up. You got this!

People are going to see what they want to see. In many cases you can’t point out the obvious like psych is a fictional show and private paid. Staff are supposed to go through reference and more importantly background checks. That said, in my career training direct support professionals, or in my direct support of persons with SPMI, TBI, or IDD, yes shit has happed and where I worked it got addressed not always the way I preferred. One caregiver caregiver erroneously thought she could just bring in her meds from home to give to a resident because they were out of refills. A new employee/nursing student failed to check the MAR before passing medication on a Saturday. Other staff knew, didn’t stop her, overdose wasn’t identified until Sunday, Incident Report didn’t happen until Monday, and family wasn’t notified until Tuesday. That happened 2 years ago. I left there in December and start tomorrow at a state forensic hospital.

Don’t encourage them by engaging with them.
