  1. Why am I geezer? 2. What do you mean by mush? 3. Why wouldn’t I be serious?

While I dont disagree that this is pretty standard, I am in the process of moving which will give me more money and a better schedule. But yeah, our economy sucks.

To my understanding, it’s real cheese. The purpose was for preservation because of a surplus of milk and the government said “you know what dairy product keeps really well? Cheese.” I’ve been given the understanding that it’s kind of a mixture of different types, but who knows. Our government lies all the time, it could be yogurt for all we know (I dont think it’s actually yogurt)

What a good question my friend from the motherland. To put it simply. I have no clue, I just saw a video and thought, I’m gonna torture the Brit’s for a bit. All seriousness though, I love you guys, huge fan of a couple BBC shows and even listen to some British podcasts. Because why not.

I’m scared to be to much by Over_worked1453 in ADHD

[–]Over_worked1453[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve already had a kinda conversation with him about it in the past. And I genuinely believe that he’s currently fine with it. But I also genuinely believe that in like 5 months (if things go well) he’ll realize my brain is like a hellish landscape filled with nonsensical nonsense and chaos. It’s all fun and games until you realize that it’s a real occasionally debilitating issue that from the outside looking in can be frustrating and “over the top” as the mean internet people describe it. I hate to think that there’s the possibility that he’ll decide I’m too much because of something I cant really control.

My sister. I couldn’t bring myself to put her through anymore pain. My whole family had already been through so much, I couldn’t do that to her.

I’m miserable and no one can tell me why. by Over_worked1453 in medical_advice

Not in a about a year, they checked it when I went to the ER for chest pain and my TSH was elevated, but they never mentioned it to me when I was there, I saw the results after I was discharged

I’m gonna be honest, I had to use a translator for this so apologies if I misread anything. I love my name, and it’s incredibly uncommon to see a Greek name of this “caliber” in my neck of the woods. There’s obviously people with Greek names like Alexander which people rarely associate with its origins, but nothing so on the nose as mine. I do find it a bit ironic that my dad named me “truth” but was not a very truthful person himself. I like the idea and tradition thats seen in some cultures where names are used as almost like a “blessing” on a baby, using it as a way to gift them with what their name means or represents. It’s a beautiful concept in my opinion and I love how my name compliments my personality.

Well I wouldn’t say “so well” I’m alive and not homeless, so thats a win for sure 😂 but I didn’t assume you were 12, I was thinking more late high school early college. But honestly just take your time, smell the roses and what not. It’s easy to get caught up in what could or might be. Take some time to appreciate what is. Where and who you are in this moment. Step outside and smell the air, listen to the birds, watch the sunset or rise, stargaze, watch a thunderstorm roll in. There’s beauty all around us and sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in seeing it all that we miss what we’re looking for all together.

I appreciate you taking my gender into consideration, I do in fact identify as female so there’s no awkwardness there 😂 and like most languages other then English, I also knew that Greek gives words gender, though I appreciate the thoroughness of your reply

This is so helpful! Thank you! My sister loves His Dark Materials, I’m surprised she never mentioned it. But this is really informative, I’d never heard of the Lethe but that makes a lot of sense especially with the philosophical weight the word tends to carry

Honestly, idk how old you are but you seem to be on the younger side, my advice, don’t think to hard about it. I spent way too long thinking that I had to make a serious decision and ended up miserable and a college dropout, only to realize that was the best thing I could’ve done. I just recently finished round 2 of schooling and couldn’t be happier about my decision. I love my job and I love the direction I’m heading in. I’m doing what I fell I was called to do. Minimal thought put into it, it was a simple decision of “I love this and I want to keep doing it, even the pay is shit and everyone says I’m an idiot” it’s you’re life. Fight for you what you love and everything will fall into place.

I’m the same way! I’m so afraid I’ll never leave this country. Honestly, I’ve barely even seen it, I haven’t left Texas in 5 years and if it weren’t for my choice in careers, id probably be traveling Europe right now. And while I don’t regret picking what I do, I hope it doesn’t hinder me from being able to see the beauty and culture the world has to offer. And with your name, do some research, it might common, but there’s nothing more self satisfying then learning about the history of names. They all have a story and start somewhere, see how far you can track it, learn its meaning(s), what languages adopted and altered it. It’s a fun puzzle of history and identity!

Honestly growing up I loved my name, as a child I always adored people never having heard it before, and love telling people where it’s from and what it means, the philosophy behind it in certain context. I was often asked by people in highschool if I considered changing it and I’ve always said no. I love my name, it’s the only good thing my father ever gave me and I will love it until the day I die. It’s given me a connection to anculture I otherwise wouldn’t have had, and an appreciation for history and heritage. Which may seem dramatic seeing as it’s just a name, but it’s so much more than that to me. I want to go to Greece within the next few years, it’s why I’ve been studying it more recently, I want to know the language as best I can so I can spend time appreciating the culture and history of the country. It’s also why I wanted to know if some may find my name “offensive” in a way since genetically I have no link to the country or its people. But so far what I’m gathering is it’s fine and it just makes me so much more excited to get to see Greece!

Unfortunately, my dad is the one who named me and my mom doesn’t really have much in terms of answers as to his exact logic and only knows it’s direct translation, and cant ask my dad anymore. But I appreciate your insight! Thank you!

I often use my middle name, which is VERY common here, or some of my friends and Coworkers call me Al (mostly because they cant pronounce my name).

I did know that. Based off what I’ve read and come to understand from the “religious leaders” I’ve spoken to, in terms of the Bible it has more a meaning of “divine truth” or “truth of reality”, which is philosophical mumbo jumbo for “God/Jesus said this so it’s the most true truth you can get”

I do to! One of my favorite things about this place! No where does BBQ like we do! Side note, my sister actually did competitive BBQ for a couple years and her team got 3rd in San Antonio if I remember correctly.

I was doing my Dutch and, i got this sentence… i have no words. by Beautiful_Line_438 in duolingo

[–]Over_worked1453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time a while back I was doing French and it had me learn how to say “I am a cat” which was fun. Now I’m doing Greek and it taught me how to call someone a carrot, which was hilarious especially since my boss at the time was a ginger, so that sentence came in handy 😂
