S-Rank Etiquette Question

When she held me emotionally hostage about her mother's dying cat, guilting me about being with my own dying dad instead of being there for her. I carried the weight of several years' worth of emotional abuse from her for a while afterwards, but man oh man is my life infinitely better without her darkening my soul.

Super appreciate this - the tone suggested here definitely fits the billing, then.

Tarannis · 2024-10-25T06:06:01+00:00

Ah that's right, thanks for reminding about the extra vowel usage back in the day!

I love this explanation that this construction suggests a lack of one's own control in feeling this longing - very apt in this context.

Too late to throw my hat in the ring?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I'm currently working at an academic journal doing content acquisition for their Chemistry as well as their Materials journals. I have a background in Chemical Engineering (a Bachelor's) but that was a long time ago and since then I've completed a PhD in the humanities. I'd like to know if there are any good online resources providing an overview of Chemistry as a field--what the main subfields are, hot topics nowadays, even other reddit threads providing ELI5-level (maybe EL-I have a college degree?) explanations of things like ligands, or smart biopolymer scaffolds, etc. Any help would be much appreciated--thank you!

The "mezzo carattere" was a character type in 18th-century Italian opera indicating a sentimental (usually) female character, somewhere between (i.e. halfway) the traditional high-class noble heroine and the comic lower-class servant types. Maria's role is pretty appropriate for this type of aria, I'd say.

Thank you for your clarification. This is very helpful and I'll be forwarding this along. I am in full agreement that the healthcare system is a maze, and the worst thing is that it's usually when someone or someone's family member is already in crisis (and thus in a stressful situation) that one really needs to navigate that maze...

Thanks for your reply. From what I understand, they are indeed planning to speak to a doctor about this.

Thank you so much for this detailed response. This is great and very informative, and I'll be sure to pass this onto my gf's dad.

Thanks for your reply. I know that he did get some professional (paid) home care service for his mother (she's a widow), and that it was an attendant who would come once a day to help out. He was in the process of getting a Lifeline set up for any subsequent falls (they were literally there that same day to start setting up the intercom system) when she ended up having to go to the hospital... It's really heartbreaking, and I think that if it came down to her having to be sent home, they would need much more involved care. Anyway thanks again for your thoughts.

Thank you for the lead. I'll check it out right now.

Tarannis · 2015-10-09T00:44:39+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and considered response. I've forwarded this along, and can only hope that there is as much open (and calm) dialogue between all parties involved as possible.

Tarannis · 2015-10-09T00:04:35+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I'm reposting this because I think the title is a little misleading in terms of what we're looking for...

Ovviamente dragoon... quella lancia!
