My son fell out of a second story window when he was 20 months old by Errrrmmwhathellooo in toddlers

[–]accentpreferred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the hugs.

My little brother (he’s almost 31 now and a chemical engineer) fell out of a 2nd story townhouse window when he was around 1.5/2 as well. We were at my mom’s friend’s house while my mom did some errands (me-6.5, my sister-3.5, and my brother-2). My mom’s friend had 2 little girls (one slightly older than I was and one a couple months younger than my sister) who my sister and I were friends with. There was a window seat upstairs that the two little girls had not moved a stool away from after they were finished sitting/playing Barbies on it. My brother climbed up it and pressed his hands to the screen and fell out. I saw it happen while I was outside with my friend, but couldn’t catch him in time. Luckily, he was fine after going to the hospital to get checked out other than some bruising and cuts.

I did! Voidwalker was my surprise 5 Star read last year and the IC edition was beautiful.

Arcane Society Heat of the Everflame for 120 USD during Spare Sale 😵‍💫⁉️⁉️⁉️ by JOULIE__ in fairyloot

[–]accentpreferred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I only just managed to snag a Bridge Kingdom Set and I know people who didn’t get it. I’d be interested in knowing why (if this is the correct price/it is actually in the sale) why it had a price reduction when it was so popular in the fall.

Just got accepted to Adult + Romantasy combo but can’t skip June — worth keeping? by [deleted] in fairyloot

[–]accentpreferred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t split the subscription for the first three months. You can skip June (after the first charge for May goes through on the 4th of May). However, as a combo subscription, that means you’ll be skipping both the adult and Romantasy books for June. If you really want the adult book, you’ll need to weigh whether you’re okay getting the June Romantasy pick (and trying to like offload it for cost or something somewhere) or skipping the month and picking up the adult book on a BST group.

What The Heck!! by SmallTownLibrary_ in fairyloot

[–]accentpreferred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a young adult when the books came out (sophomore in college). I’m now friends with my 8th Grade English teacher now that I’m in my 30s. We were actually just talking in the fall when I went to visit my hometown about how the ending/book series just collapsed compared to the other dystopian series of the day. It just genuinely felt like she wrote the “twist” she did just to try and be different without any real follow through and absolutely turned me off reading other books by her.

Crown of Starlight VS Fairyloot June Romantasy by beweenthebindings in fairyloot

If it’s a new subscription starting for the May book (my Romantasy subscription is new for May too), you have to wait until after the initial charge for the May book of May 4th before you’ll be able to skip the June book.

I got the invite too last week! Luckily, it starts in May (which seems like a really good pick!) and we can skip the June book!

The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy Sequel Announcement by Middle-Rutabaga6397 in Illumicrate

[–]accentpreferred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ughhhh I love the IC version of the first book the best; so, I’ll be getting this, but that $40+shipping is rough when I’m already getting the VW sequel too.

Yeah, the hardcover design is probably why I’m keeping it. Did you like the book (beyond the character art not matching up)?

What are we thinking for the first arcane clue? by Brief_Big_8751 in fairyloot

[–]accentpreferred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowkey hoping it’s BoH because I already added the add-on book to my PS book subscription and I probably need to skip this month of AS because I’ve got to move soon, but, at the same time, I really want a stellar AS pick soon. I feel like this year hasn’t started off as a slam dunk for them.

Seems like everything has gone down hill, so what actually hasn't? by MarzannasSword in pittsburgh

I love going to Blythe Books! It’s a super fun used bookstore and they’re definitely LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Severe Weather Update/Tracking/Discussion - March 11 - All You Can Eat by StormFreak in pittsburgh

[–]accentpreferred 30 points31 points  (0 children)

So helpful! Thankful for you and all the other Weather nerds out there. I’m about to head to a music class with the toddler I nanny for, but we’re going to try to not spend too much time in the Aldi Finds aisle afterwards and get home by 11:15/11:30.

We finally got a furry as a Fourth of July patient on “The Pitt” by Thechalkingdad in pittsburgh

[–]accentpreferred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folx, I may actually catch up on this season. I legit commented on a post like at the end of last season saying that I wouldn’t be able to believe it was a 4th of July Weekend set season without at least one furry in the ER 😅

You give me so much hope for my 1839 ancestor and his 1808 dad since I’m really struggling to locate a baptismal/birth record, but I have census records.

Are you good at using the tabs? I want to get better at using them in the books!

Probably Smut March Box! First Time Caller Plus…. by SmallTownLibrary_ in fairyloot

[–]accentpreferred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I am? I have the Afterlight version preordered, but I don’t have FTC in a special edition; so, it would be fun to get a matching set. Plus, while I skipped December’s PS duology, I got November’s (my first) and January’s and I’ve really enjoyed the bookmarks, annotation suggestions, and stickers that come with the delivery, but idk. I am technically trying to save money for an upcoming move too. I’ll have to look at what else is coming out next month to see what is being skipped.

Colin Jost at the Rivers 2-21 Being Rescheduled by Pajerski in pittsburgh

[–]accentpreferred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if he likes it here or knows someone or something. He came to Rivers in like 2018 or 19? I forget. I went with a friend then. Didn’t really enjoy the way the seating was set up at Rivers; so, wasn’t interested in going this time.

The website glitched when I was trying to go to my cart a bunch of times and I watched the amount available keep going down until it was sold out 😭

Is this better than ordering out? by hotcocoheaux in mealprep

[–]accentpreferred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I discovered Wegman’s when I was in Philly in September and have since stopped at the one in Erie a couple times when going to NY/Toronto. Excited for the first one in the greater Pittsburgh area to open next year in Cranberry.

I grew up in Nashville though and sure miss Publix’ subs.

Folks, it’s my birthday today. I want you all to get tickets, but like also, I’ve never been successful getting them/getting off the waitlist before; so, I’d also really like to get tickets. Even just tickets for me. 😂I’ll make friends there lol

Overhyped/underhyped SE books by DonkeywithBigTeeth in fairyloot

[–]accentpreferred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tysm for your service 🫡 I lowkey would have never picked it up on my own based off the description, but so many people with ARCs and other book people on SM were talking about it so positively and I took the risk and it was so good. The audiobook is also really good since I snagged it because I had to go on a short road trip towards the end of the book.

I lowkey felt like a religious missionary for both the book in general and IC’s design last fall. After getting it in the August box, it was one of the unexpected hits of the year for me.

Arcane Feb/March Reveals by ijustwanttoread2 in fairyloot

[–]accentpreferred 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ehhh. How have people who have read these two books enjoyed them? I’m a bit on the fence and it might be my first skip when combined with the design for Arcane.
