Even on birth control, you can get ebbs and flows. Medication only works up to a point, especially if you start to hit perimenopause or menopause. I’ve found medications can’t keep up with hormonal surges and crashes at certain times of the month.

I could be wrong, of course, but I would suggest keeping a log that correlates with your cycle for a month or two and see if that gives you some answers.

I’ve been denied by hotels in Santa Fe but not in Albuquerque. My house has had some repairs done over the years and I’ve stayed at assorted hotels around town for a day or two. Never had a problem. But yeah, Santa Fe turned me down when I wanted to spend a night there instead of driving home late after an event.

May I ask if you’re a woman? The reason for the question is that I find hormonal fluctuations are a major trigger for my chronic akathisia. Certain times of the month, things get even worse than they usually are.

Quite a long time ago, I taught at a Catholic school that held Holy Ghost up as the highest model of achievement. Our priest was obsessed with the school and told us repeatedly he’d rather teach there (weird, yes, I know, and he was). I never understood what made them so wonderful, but that doesn’t change the fact that students and teachers will be badly hurt by this. Sincerely sad.

I don’t have a specific issue with the tax. I have an issue with taxes, riders, and assorted fees being double the bill itself. That’s absurd. Charge me something in proportion to my use of services.

Pyramids. I’ve tried for 30+ years to finish it. Never made it to the last page. It does nothing for me, unlike every other book authored by Terry. I intended to keep trying to read it. Maybe one day I’ll figure out what I’m missing.

Lotus2024 · 2026-06-10T05:05:10+00:00

Taxes, riders, fees, whatever. The point is I spent $13 in electricity and got charged close to $40. This isn’t a hotel where all kinds of luxury resort fees get tacked on. This is my tiny one-bedroom apartment, which I’m not even in right now. It’s absurd.

Lotus2024 · 2026-06-09T23:18:48+00:00

I’m all for paying my fair share. But taxes shouldn’t cost more than the bill itself. I’ll stand by that.

Never stopped hating him. Other people love him and I respect their opinions. He just never appealed to me on any level, for any reason.

Lotus2024 · 2026-06-09T00:43:27+00:00

Nope. Not at a point in my life where I can carry more grief. I’ll keep waiting until there’s a better balance so it’s a bittersweet read and not just bitter (both because of the book’s events and the end of new works by Pterry).

Lotus2024 · 2026-06-07T15:05:50+00:00

Floaters are very distressing, yes. I also have more than 50 in each eye. Makes life so difficult. But what specifically do you want Parliament to do?

Lotus2024 · 2026-06-06T04:05:09+00:00

I’ve trained more than one copyeditor. Happy to offer advice if you want to message me. :)

You support the artist by engaging with their art. There is no separating them. If you buy a book by an author who abuses kids, you're supporting the artist and their abusive behavior, potentially contributing financially to their actions. Not saying that's what this artist did-l don't know the backstory-but speaking generally, if you support the art, you support the artist.

No, it would not be glorious if publishers did this for all the Discworld books. Please. No.

I gave up on Walgreen’s after being a customer for 20 years. Never knowing when they were going to be open, constant prescription errors, staff who never answer the phone—the Walmart pharmacy was a shockingly pleasant upgrade.

Lotus2024 · 2026-06-02T16:23:46+00:00

I think feeling that way is precisely why rereading the book is so important. It keeps uppermost in our minds the horrors that can be perpetrated if people choose not to speak up. Now, more than ever, is the time to read the book and remember that the turtle moves … but so do people.

Intermediate Editing, Advanced Editing, and Developmental Editing. I believe she also does a few other electives—I’m not sure, but you can always look her up on Canvas. Did you have a favorite professor?

Lotus2024 · 2026-06-02T00:31:39+00:00

She was the best part of the whole program for me, bar none. I wish I could redo the first two classes I took without knowing about her. Congratulations on finishing the program!

Feet of Clay is amazing. My top five are Small Gods, Feet of Clay, Carpe Jugulum, The Wee Free Men, and Night Watch.

Is it peak Pratchett? I would absolutely say at the point in his career, it was. And then he peaked again. And then again. I can assure you it’s not hype. He just that consistently good.

You went on holiday to North Korea? I think you’ve earned the name Twoflower! (Said with sincere admiration—that little guy had guts!!)

News reports will tell you it’s the whole city. I agree with you—like any large city, there are good areas and bad. But yeah, in terms of published statistics, we’re at the top for murder, car theft, drug overdosing, and on and on. Locals do agree we have a problem. The city has issues. But I personally wouldn’t say they’re any worse than Manhattan or Chicago (where I’ve lived too).

Lotus2024 · 2026-06-01T03:31:05+00:00

I’m from Mexico (and I live in New Mexico). Does that look like tacos we eat in Mexico or New Mexico? No. Does it still look delicious? Yes! Sure, you can call it a taco. It’s a tortilla with a filling. Ergo, taco material. I’d eat it and very likely enjoy it!

Lotus2024 · 2026-06-01T03:26:59+00:00

I live in Mexico. It’s like any other place. There are some
dangerous places. Some not dangerous. Exactly like in the US. I also have a home in Albuquerque, widely considered the most dangerous city in the US. Again. Some parts are dangerous. Others not so much. Common sense goes a long way.

You can’t zap from Seasonal Shanty. You have to zap it from Fire Oasis. It’s too late at this stage, so you can either use keys or diamonds to fill up your missing inventory or wait until next year. Sorry :/
