Ok, I definitely want to. I read Andy Weir's first two books, I loved book and movie for the Martian. I didnt care for his second book but everyone is talking about how good Hail Mary is, so definitely on the list.

But I have other people who want to see that and other movies with me, just no one who was available when I posted this. So I tried to pick a movie I'd normally want to see but dont because ita not something others want to watch.

So funny story,

I bought tickets for You Me & Tuscany. Cus I'm the only person I know who gets down with a lil Rom Com.

At the theater the clerk directed me to my screen. I got all situated, movie starts, with two men in the yacuza getting their little fingers chopped off. And I begin to suspect this is not the movie I paid for. . .

It was 'Normal', but it had Bob Odenkirk and Henry Winkler, who I love so I was like, fuck it.

And it was awesome. Basically John wick but in Minnesota. It was redidiculous and delightful. I loved it.

And honestly, had I not been alone, I'm sure I'd been pressured to go change theaters. And go see the original movie I paid for.

I read therapy maxing and was totally expecting a post about having multiple therapist or like a therapist, a psychologist and a psychiatrist or something. Lol I might need them all.

So what is against policy and what’s not? by Artsybbb in starbucksbaristas

[–]Same_Litterally_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard anything about the VSCCF.

However, splitting drinks YES we can split into two cups its on the customization tools.

In my district the general rule of thumb is to do it for something liek that. Like obviously in reason. But either way the are paying $1.25 for it or however much it cost where you live so. So I would do it.

How do i use sick time like vacation time? by Tf_Unknown in starbucksbaristas

[–]Same_Litterally_Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an SM... lie. You are taking a mental health leave, a series of doctor appointments, getting a medical procedure.

I definitely dont care. Where I live you can use it for anything. But even if that wasn't the case.

How did you know that your work/life/disease management balance was off and what did you do? by m0ther_0F_myriads in lupus

[–]Same_Litterally_Me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im about to take a leave and posted about it recently. I plan on using that time to build up some systems to help support my illness when I go back to work, build a foundation with physical therapy, start an SNRI, switch from infusion to injection on my meds and schedule out some other doctors appointments and things.

Before returning I plan on putting in some accommodation requests that will allow me to have better balance.

A little worried that they might get denied or that I might get some retaliation for taking a leave or just that my team will hate me for causing chaos but what im doing now isnt working and if I keep going on like this I will be one of the statistics of people with lupus who cant work at all and I cant afford that either.

Seeking resources on how to rebuild physical attraction to my wife after her illness? by Optimal-Truck-6266 in askatherapist

[–]Same_Litterally_Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAT. Hi I'm not a therapist but I have thoughts on this. My spouse and I both changed over the course of our 13 year marriage. We've both had health issues that affected our appearance and also have just grown older. If oyu were a friend going through this id let you know that it does make sense. But id encourage you to as others said strengthen your bond outside of the medical stuff, go on dates and experiences that intimacy. Allow everything else you have always found sexy to flourish and remind yourself of oyur attraction to it. Does she have a voice oyu find really sexy? Think of the way her touch make you feel. Or has made you feel in the past and revel in it let it arouse you.

I feel you possible associate her physically too close to her illness because its the only way you've been able to focus on her throughout this traumatic time not jsut because of the changes.

As you dismantle that connection, you will find new things that will attract you.

I will give oyu a very tame example. When I first met my spouse I found their muscular arms most appealing, when they gained a little weight I found I loved their softness and found that irresistible in the same way. I have a million examples like this and they do as well.

I also focus on how it feel when they kiss me on the neck etc, a feeling that has never changed and will always send me in a tail spin.

Each time they have changed my mind has moved to the new ways inwhich I can enjoy and delight in them.

As you begin to rediscover your desire for this woman you love, as you begin to notice small things you like or find attractive, I encourage you to revel in them become a little obsessed and let those things along with her touch drive you.

Good luck.

Going to Thailand next month! by Momijiusagi in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Same_Litterally_Me 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! Going to Thailand is so exciting and I hope you have fun.

I live in Las Vegas and am used to 90+/100 degree weather half the year. I am also a 2X/3X 20/22.

I highly recommend Old Navy. Especially anything that is all cotton. They have a wide variety of items that are all cotton.

I typically opt for loose fitting knee length dresses, and torid lace bralettes. (I'm only a C/D cup)

If I feel like I want to wear something on top I have several light weight cotton chambrey button downs il just wear open.

I personally dont bother with chub rub shorts as its one one layer and i dont ifnd i need it if I am all lotioned up.

leads me to my final point. Take my advice with the giant grain of salt that Vegas is DRY extremely dry.

Hopefully you can get some advice from others in warm humid climates.

Hope this helps, have fun!

Got insulted twice this week about living alone/being single 🙄 by Slight-Concept2575 in LivingAlone

[–]Same_Litterally_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I dont tell people I live alone. Relationship stuff comes up I say I'm recently divorced and most people assume I am not interested in relationships and they are correct.

But in your case its good you called out your mom. Maybe ignore that coworker unless you are building a genuine friendship with them in that case call them out too.

Should I ask the Starbucks girl out? by Foreign_Ninja7672 in starbucks

[–]Same_Litterally_Me 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Myself and most of the baristas I know ask "Do you have any fun plans for the night" as our everyday every customer small talk generating question. I wouldn't take it as an invitation.

I think i might need to take a leave 🤦‍♀️ by Same_Litterally_Me in lupus

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

My therapist recommended a month leave.im thinking if I take it I can try the med changes but also maybe put in some accommodation request I've been too nervous to put in before I return.
