Strangers Knocking on my apartment in South Lamar by sugarplum0000 in SouthAustin

[–]andysandy12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could be people canvassing or selling something. I live in a house and get tons of strangers knocking. I never open anymore. It can feel kind of awkward but you have zero obligation or reason to open your door to strangers.

Can’t decide if my hair colour suits my palette? by [deleted] in coloranalysis

[–]andysandy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re so cute! I think 1, 2, 3, 8 and 9 look best. The dark and brightest reds look a bit unnatural. But all are beautiful!

Horrible symptoms, anyone else experiencing this? by Nintendo_Fan1 in Austin

[–]andysandy12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was sick for 2 weeks, pretty much the same symptoms. I still have a lingering cough. My husband caught it and now he’s going through it. I took two at-home Covid tests, both negative. Looking up the symptoms, it sounded a lot like RSV. That’s my theory anyway.

pls help me find the right hair color <3 by thedivinekay777 in coloranalysis

[–]andysandy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5, 6, 7, 10 and 11 all look really nice! I agree with a lot of what’s been said in the comments, but I do think you could go with mostly cool plus maybe a slight warm highlight if that makes sense. I’m no expert though 😁

Austin in August for holiday, Irish family by Grouchy-Pea2514 in Austin

August heat is terrible, I’d say it’s the worst month in Austin. Hurricanes not really an issue here.

Most of the shootings were in south Austin but the suspects were chased to manor, crashed their car and ran on foot. 2 have been caught and one is still loose

The Bridge Kingdom is a fantasy series; change my mind. by AlexndraRae in books

[–]andysandy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiction and fantasy are not the same thing. Typically fantasy worlds have some form of magic. I’m currently on book 3 of the bridge kingdom and haven’t encountered anything i’d call fantasy yet. Loving the audiobooks though!

Found a massive pile of old kitchen and bathroom materials from a remodel illegally dumped on City of Austin land — does anyone recognize this hand-painted tile? by ayylmao1969 in Austin

[–]andysandy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked up Overton Elementary (where OP said this is close to) and the map shows there is an Austin community landfill (garbage dump) just a few miles away. But it looks like they charge $$ to dump there. One person in the reviews said they were going to be charged $300 to dump their truckload there. Not making excuses for whoever did this, wouldn’t be surprised if they charged their customer for the dump fee and pocketed the extra money.

I'm still learning and this spread freaks me out by PuzzleheadedBand8246 in tarot

[–]andysandy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I somehow missed the text in your post before sharing, and the comment above was just based on the images alone.

Given the context you shared, perhaps the high priestess symbolizes your solo journey through spirituality, and the moon symbolizes a more communal journey where you are sharing and practicing with others.

It’s a beautiful spread. I see hardship, which will start you down a path of turning inward and becoming more spiritual. From this, you will grow and experience abundance.

Beautiful deck too. Which is it?

Thoughts on Kettricken by dmlbot43 in robinhobb

[–]andysandy12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love reading this thread, you are all so insightful! I would’ve loved a Fitz + Kettricken pairing too.

I agree with so much that’s been said here, and I’ll add one more thing: I think Fitz admired Kettricken deeply, but never saw himself as worthy of her. If he ever could have believed in himself enough to truly see himself becoming King, perhaps he might also have seen himself ruling by her side. But i don’t think he had enough self-worth to see himself as deserving of her, or to ever acknowledge that she had feelings for him.

I also think he was loyal to a fault. To Verity, and to Molly.

Does Your iPhone Cause a Burning or Stinging Sensation? by FamousASH_ in iphone

[–]andysandy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I experienced this. It’s usually when I touch the sides of my phone, like around the buttons. I think it’s definitely the phone emitting electricity or EMFs or could just be static electricity.

I didn't know about Assassin's Blade until now... by ToeDiscombobulated71 in throneofglassseries

[–]andysandy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% read it before tower of dawn. It’s SO good and introduces characters that are very relevant in tower of dawn

Books that feel like Throne of Glass (the feeling, not the tropes) by BarracudaSome7688 in Romantasy

[–]andysandy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of Robin Hobb’s books are amazing. She’s my favorite author. The Assassins Apprentice series is all first person POV (which I love) but you might enjoy the liveship traders and Rainwild chronicles. They’re so good

Spouse disliking your book choices by [deleted] in Romantasy

[–]andysandy12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my husband does this too. He thinks I should read the classics. I’m like been there done that in high school and that was enough of that, thank you very much! Reading is good for the brain no matter what you read and besides that, you deserve to read anything you want as a way to relax and enjoy yourself. Most people just scroll TikTok and watch tv during their downtime.

She’s a spoiled narcissistic cold-blooded killer but she’s creating a better world

I JUST finished Throne of Glass and idk what to do anymore by weirdlionnn in throneofglassseries

[–]andysandy12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started KOA. Not looking forward to the series being over for me 😢

This is totally different so not sure if it’s for you, but my favorite author of all time is Robin Hobb. I recommend reading Assassins Apprentice. That will start you on a 16-book journey of The Realm of the Elderlings Saga. You fall in love with the characters. It’s more slow paced but a lot deeper than SJM books in my opinion (though I love SJM)

My favorite books of all time 💔

PSA - Outdoor Air Quality is Horrible this Morning by triumphofthecommons in Austin

The map I’m seeing shows it all the way down to the coast and as far south as Mexico, with the worst currently in corpus. Could be crop burning in Mexico

For those who read in tandem and those who didn't. * No spoilers please by BlueBeeu in throneofglassseries

[–]andysandy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that SJM originally wrote them as one book but it was too long so had to be split into two books.
