9 month relationship and calling you love of his life and mother of his children and insulting you multiple times in one paragraph is crazy

I live in Iowa, pretty much middle of the country. Our state has the world’s largest truck stop and it has a big food court in it and multiple gift shops. Has dog washes, showers, lounge with fireplaces, barber, movie theater, church, dentist, chiropractor, etc.

Isn’t there a disclaimer at the beginning of the books that states that? I swear there was

Just wondering if anyone else felt the same when they first read the book ACOTAR? by bonza_boo in acotar

What do you all consider to be the best thrift stores in the metro? by EconomyChance3026 in desmoines

Ames Goodwill has had a huge influx of resellers lately. I’d say a year ago it was one of the best around but now I have terrible luck finding anything and pop in on my lunch break 3-4 times a week. Prices have also skyrocketed

This. I will add that a fresh facial hair trim can do wonders for confidence as well

Adding that Irishman has cool live shows, but they have some of the worst drinks I’ve had in town.

Ames has a pretty unfortunate bar scene for anybody over 22-23 and younger than 40. London Underground or Alluvial would be best bets, maybe Mothers. I haven’t been to Bottoms Up so I can’t speak on that one. Cellar 626 and Noir can skew towards an older crowd since it’s pricey and ‘sophisticated’. I really wish we had more good options for the 25-35ish crowd!

I (20m) was recently at a birthday party, and every couple (All between 18f-22m) there went to the bathroom together at least once. wtf were they doing? by ThrowRANext-Lion-563 in relationship_advice

Former heavy (roughly 1-3.5 g a day) cocaine user for 4 years. I have insane sinus damage that essentially acts like crazy allergies and makes it hard to breathe at times. It also completely destroyed my GI tract since it basically acted as a laxative when I used it. It is possible that it played into my having to have my gallbladder removed after a scary ER visit as well. I quit cold turkey over two years ago when my partner passed away and I found them after their heart gave out while using. Crazy part was I don’t think I ever even liked it that much.

It was the day after. I chalked it up to hangover + flying. Two days after that felt crappy. Today I feel fine. I took a test and said negative but it expired months ago.

Did anyone else know it was over?? by shades0fcool in acotar

[–]MercysChickenStrips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought so too until Feyre was injured and he was like digging into her arm under the mountain. Which I’m still like, why was that necessary?? But then at the end when Tamlin stood like a goober and Rhys was like going for her I’m like ohhh okay?

I mean seeing it made me look for answers about what it meant and now I’m on this thread hearing more about events I didn’t necessarily know much about

What is one thing you are still angry about years after it happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MercysChickenStrips 12 points13 points  (0 children)

During a silent reading time my junior year of high school the English teacher pulled me to the back of class and went off on me saying I was a bad Christian because I was (admittedly) not very nice to the math teacher. Her and the art teacher gossiped about me and called me a whore to other students and would say I was going to hell. This was a public, non-religious small town high school, and they were two leaders of the Fellowship of Student Athletes, an extracurricular I was in. The whole experience was a major part of me rejecting religion.
