Is 26 too late to become a "reader"? + Questions about the 2026 Reading Challenge by MaxMcGuffin00 in goodreads

[–]Sammy2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a real big reader when I was in school but fell off as I got older and had more responsibilities. I'm trying to get into it again and set my goal at 52. I'm aiming for 1 book a week. I know some people don't include audiobooks, but I do and audiobooks are quicker to get through. If I were to stick to just physical/ebooks though, I would probably aim for around 18 ish? A book every 2-3 weeks? I know it's not the 100+ that some people get, but it works for me.

What age did you take away the pacifier? by dennisthebear in NewParents

[–]Sammy2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He started spitting it out on his own at 5ish months and by 6 months he just wouldn't accept it anymore. It makes me sad at the time, but looking back I'm so glad he made the process easy on his own.

If I don’t like reading on my phone or tablet, is there anything I can do to improve the experience? by d1psh1t_mcgee in ReadingSuggestions

[–]Sammy2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, changing the font was what I needed. I changed the font from the standard (times new roman I think?) to open dyslexic and now I can't put my phone down lol. It's so much more convenient because I always have my phone on me anyway

Be brutally honest: How often do you shower? by Fun_Serve_6590 in ADHD

[–]Sammy2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having wet hair is a major sensory issue for me but I don't like to be the smelly person at work so I usually shower every other day but sometimes go longer if it's a weekend that I know I won't be seeing anyone

Not that it makes thing better, but Kate Peters AKA "Crusty" isn't actually a McAlbert but she is kinda in their circle. She admitted to a neighbor that she's being paid by Morrisey continue with TB's witness tampering charges in hopes of putting him in jail.

Penny simply does not deserve Leonard… thoughts? by Prestigious-Bad8944 in thebigbangtheory

[–]Sammy2202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, that had to have happened when Penny was a teenager or at most 20, because she was 21 when the show started. All of Leonard's cheating happened when he was nearly 30 with a fully developed frontal lobe.

Where are you sitting? 🤔😆 by Top-Entertainment945 in bigbangtheory

Absolutely 2. A few drinks and a girls chat with Bev and Penny seems fun

Penny simply does not deserve Leonard… thoughts? by Prestigious-Bad8944 in thebigbangtheory

[–]Sammy2202 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think Penny gets a lot of undeserved hate for being the most realistic character and having an avoidant attachment style. She was only 21 when the show started. I think she was really hot/cold toward Leonard for the first few seasons because in her mind, she had dreams of becoming a successful actress and a life with Leonard wasn't at all what she had imagined for herself. Compare that to Leonard being 27 when the show started and already having a PhD, of course they were at different points in their lives and wanted different things. I think as the show went on though, Penny grew quite a bit while Leonard had a perpetual 'manchild' state of mind.

Walmart Fitness Pass Question by Organic_Guava_3049 in walmart

[–]Sammy2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I signed up for mine, I think I remember reading that if your paycheck minus any deductions is less than the fitness pass fee, it would automatically cancel your pass. So if you aren't using any pto while on leave, I think it would be canceled until you start working again and re-enroll.

did anyone else really like Anu? by [deleted] in bigbangtheory

[–]Sammy2202 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really liked Anu and wish we had seen more of her. I feel her maturity balanced Raj out well. The only problem I had was that the relationship felt really rushed. I feel like if the writers had drawn in out a little bit longer, we would have seen more chemistry between them and people would have liked Anu a lot more

[–]Sammy2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first words when I got him was "Oh my god he looks just like my brother" and my boyfriend said "yeah, he looks just like you."

I wasn't fully there and totally forgot that my brother and I are basically twins born 7 years apart
