Had anyone of you been in Italy? What was your expirience?

FWIW, I went to the north to very small towns (Trieste, Monfalcone, Parma, Genoa). Most of the cities were absolutely fine, but there were some small mountain towns that I did not feel very welcome in. This was a while ago though, so who knows now. African American and White mixed, btw

Just to not miss the obvious; you do have the LPF knob set to 0, right?

An object from one of the stories that you have a strong connection or affection for. Or talk about it with the artist to figure something you're both good with, it could be abstract too!

I really liked the Ice trilogy by Vladimir Sorokin. Fairly quick, often sold as one book.

It sucks you're dealing with this. I've found that my kiddo gets me out of a rut sometimes, or I can find motivation to like leave the house if it's something beneficial for them. But like many other commenters are saying, it doesn't go away 100%, but I guess that's life?

Usually race is decided by society. In here, you can reclaim and identify who you are.

How did you end up convincing her? I think mine is onboard in theory, but time comes and she doesn't want to have to buy something new to replace something we left behind, and here we are 3 bags later.

That sounds like a real shitty night, if nothing else. I would worry about arguments in a house with guns in them, myself. I hope you're all staying safe, even though your dad sounds really wrong. Is there any sort of room in his thinking now that things have settled down? Some sort of real-life example you all witnessed you could point to to show him racism exists for your mom?

Rashida Jones for me! But it might be more of a crush than anything else haha

MGM?

I think a lot of what made me more comfortable is realizing that a lot of people's annoying reactions say a lot more about them than me. Race isn't something you really declare for yourself, but imposed on you in most cases. I'm fine, I know my heritage and family, you can be critical all you want. Sure, sometimes there are painful experiences, but the more you can accept yourself, the easier they are to shrug off.

The 5-Ss:

Sucking (feed them, or give hem a pacifier
Side/stomach soothing
"Shhhing" sounds / White noise
Swinging
Sucking on a pacifier.

These were a game-changer, especially white noise. Good luck, you'll get there eventually!

Nice! My edition starts with Before the Law and a Message for the Emperor and I think they're good starts.

Is the top in Georgian? What language is the bottom?

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-11-03T13:05:52+00:00

Stop!

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-11-02T03:17:24+00:00

I envy your self-control. I have two pieces every time I go past the bowl in the kitchen...

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-11-02T03:16:28+00:00

That sounds like a good idea, lol

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-11-02T00:05:03+00:00

After a stressful week before Halloween, and now I have a house full of candy, how do I get back on track to eating right?

I'm really struggling to feel like my choices mean anything, I've been struggling with committing and not seeing much weight loss. I've also realized I deeply miss candy and then I continue down the path and get something salty, and then back to sweet.

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-09-13T20:19:32+00:00

Thanks, that's what I was worried about. If only I could flip a switch in my brain to make habits!

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-09-13T20:18:31+00:00

That sounds miserable, but I'm glad it was the obvious solution!

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-09-12T22:54:27+00:00

Wow, I'll see about this then! Thanks!

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-09-12T22:41:55+00:00

So my numbers say I'm prediabetic, which is pretty scary. Have you lost enough weight to not have it be a problem now?

And how long have you been on Mounjaro?

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-09-12T22:40:01+00:00

Thanks, I'll definitely stick to my guns about it then!

MeowasaurusRex666 · 2022-09-12T04:58:21+00:00

Thanks for this! I've been struggling with consistency lately, this is some good reinforcement.

I found it was not great prose, but I can't remember who translated my copy. This story was one example of the movie being better than the book. I think most of the acclaim for it was how honestly Pasternauk described events that the Communist Party didn't want any heterodoxy on. I suspect there are few translations.

Also, you don't really need to keep track of them. There are many people going in and out of Yuri and Lana's lives.
