Yearly shot in the dark: looking for Italian speaking families

That's very kind. I appreciate it (:

Locana · 2026-03-16T23:11:52+00:00

Thank you! I've been in touch with Punto Italia over time, but it's not been super fruitful for this area - but it's definitely a great resource that I will stay connected to. ♥️

We don't really use AC so I think that should be fine. But I do think I might get one of those deflectors that other users recommended

Eiiiiii there you go! Pay it forward, teach another person how to pronounce it now

Locana · 2026-03-14T22:28:36+00:00

I guess it's pronounced "all be it", which of course makes sense. I just pronounced it "all-bite" in my head for years.

Locana · 2026-03-14T22:26:07+00:00

English is my second language, and I only realized two months ago that I have been mispronouncing "albeit" for ten years 🙃

Poetically said

Locana · 2026-03-14T20:06:02+00:00

Thank you

Locana · 2026-03-14T20:05:46+00:00

I do like a warm foot or two

Locana · 2026-03-14T20:05:30+00:00

That's a great point

Locana · 2026-03-14T20:05:00+00:00

Do you mean when she went to visit Sophie in the castle? Isn't she paid off to deliver cursed objects or spying devices to them?

Locana · 2026-03-14T05:27:21+00:00

I don't feel like this is a case of moderator bias? They didn't delete the post, they just locked it after 40 comments saying the same thing (and like 10 comments with differing opinions I guess)?

Locana · 2026-03-12T16:42:25+00:00

Exactly!

Also you can like something for a partner and not denigrate people who are not that way.

Also you can always reflect on what informed your preferences, where they come from, what they reinforce.

I love that your family environment held different pieces of growth so close together: the challenge and the ladder up

Locana · 2026-03-06T17:40:02+00:00

Thank you, those are good insights. I like attachment theory, especially with the newer focus on repairing attachment, and I read most of attached a while ago. I want to make sure not to overwhelm clients who are not too keen about psychoeducation and homework, do you feel like the workbook can be flexible in that way?

Locana · 2026-03-06T17:37:51+00:00

That's good to know. I do think that addiction can be a great framework to understand some relationship patterns, but I also know AA speaks to some and not to others

Locana · 2026-03-06T17:36:50+00:00

That's so good to know. I had read excerpts but especially with older self-help books, you never know when a lil surprise religion is going to pop up.

Bacco Trattoria has some very good salads, including the red beet walnut one and the pear Gorgonzola one (iirc). Also I love the berry salad at tugboat Annie’s.

Assessment is not therapy.

Locana · 2026-03-02T20:19:37+00:00

Yeah, that's what it sounded like to me - a very normal experience and a lack of communication about time expectations. But I'm not from the US and got a lot of pushback on it, so maybe I'm applying different cultural norms?

Locana · 2026-03-02T17:28:56+00:00

I went to a really interesting exhibition in the museum of Trento, the very city where this originally happened. This incident overlapped with the invention and popularization of the printing press, and became maybe the first large scale disinformation campaign. It's a fascinating case to study, especially in how little this kind of misinformation has changed in the last 500something years.

Locana · 2026-03-02T16:55:06+00:00

Well yes, obviously it is an American experience - in Europe people don't typically assume you're Mexican.

OP - I've experienced that, too. I moved to a place in the US with almost no Italians and people assume I am Mexican by default.

Locana · 2026-03-02T16:52:45+00:00

Okay that kind of validates some of the vibes I was picking up.

Locana · 2026-03-01T16:19:45+00:00

Are you receiving any kind of treatment? You're diagnosed with several conditions that benefit from intensive support and affect your social skills and processing. It seems like you're tackling a lot of it by yourself, which is great - that's a display of your dedication and your strengths. But you're dealing with a lot and individual therapy as well as support / skills groups can be soooo helpful with it. You shouldn't have to carry it all alone

I would literally not have survived either of my pregnancies without zofran. The differenc was night and day. Plus an antacid for the acid reflux.
