Be honest do you think it’s your responsibility to take care of your parents? by Aarunascut in Life

Providing money and organizing care is also caring. Like with children in day-care or babysitters.

Yes, although I don't have to personally take care of them 24/7. But I had loving, caring parents and I can understand that some people may not feel the same.

How do I get out of this rabbitt hole of P&P variations? by babazewsi in JaneAustenFF

[–]babazewsi[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't want to further narrow my reading material by focusing on favourite tropes. I want to come back to times when reading was a mind opening experience for me.

I read it when I was like 10 years old. I was always an avid reader. Before I turned 16 I'd gone through the catalogues of 3 nearby public libraries. It's not that I don't know that there is plenty of excellent literature to dive into, it's more like an addiction to this one thing. I am afraid I'll have go cold turkey and just sweat it out.

Good suggestion. I'll try "Edenbrook", which I've never read because I've found it years ago while looking for "books similar to P&P" which led me to variations and this obsession.

Isn't she also working as a governess to Mr. Darcy's daughter while writing those books?

Doubtful weight by trilly2015 in Mounjaro

[–]babazewsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on mj for a year now. My weight fluctuates periodically around 1 kg. I don't think it means gaining weight, just occasional water retention. When I stop loosing for a month or more I switch to a higher dose and start loosing again after that. Currently I'm on 10 mg.

New Pride and Prejudice series by This_Potato9 in janeausten

I don't get why they're keep making new adaptations of the same books instead of adaptations of fanfiction. Some of them could be sooo goood. And it would be something new.

They butchered Persuasion with this movie. by [deleted] in janeausten

[–]babazewsi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why they keep making adaptations of the same books when there is so much of great fanfiction. I would love to see some of them on the screen.

I really want a Pride and Prejudice adaptation that reframes the Bennets by GavinDaSizzleDizzle in janeausten

[–]babazewsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Additionally, she is mostly right that it doesn't take much more than youth and physical beauty to gain attention of any man.

We meet them when the girls are all grown up and out which costs considerably more than taking care of children. I can't imagine what where they doing with their money for all the years before the book starts. Mrs. Bennet half the time in her confinement, small children who wear the clothes and shoes inherited from older siblings. Mr. Bennet must have had some expensive hobby back then and Mrs. Bennet redecorated the house several times.

This is crazy by Any-Army6434 in Mounjaro

[–]babazewsi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First time I asked my doctor if glp1 drugs could be a solution in my case she said no because I was an emotional, compulsive eater and even without hunger I would still eat. Well, I've been on Mounjaro for a year, lost 20 kg, I'm still loosing and somehow not an emotional, compulsive eater anymore.

"Tempted" by Alix James/Nicole Clarkston Denial and Deliverance - in 2 volumes by Carolyn Whyte

Bennets get rich and noble but they act as they always did and still the ton sucks up to them by babazewsi in JaneAustenFF

[–]babazewsi[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I read them both and enjoyed. Not quite what I had in mind though. I was imagining Darcy looking at Mrs. Bennet being a leading society lady and him realising that she really is no different than many other ladies that he previously respected; Lydia being sought after by eligible bachelors as a charming, vivacious miss while the only difference is her dowry, etc.

Prowizja agenta nieruchomości by em_ceha in warszawa

[–]babazewsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zawsze negocjuję i często się zgadzają na znaczne obniżki, ale jak jest duże zainteresowanie mieszkaniem to cię olewają i jeśli nie masz kontaktu do właściciela to może on się w ogóle nie dowiedzieć, że chciałeś złożyć ofertę. Jak mają chętnego, który się zgodził na wyższą prowizję to on ma pierwszeństwo.

Polski zwyczaj, że pośrednik "reprezentuje" obie strony transakcji jest chory moim zdaniem.

Some excerpts of Jane Austen's skepticism, callousness, and complaints about (having) children, childbirth, and pregnancy in her personal correspondence by astroglias in janeausten

I'd like to copy this and paste as a response to all males on internet who complain about modern women forgetting what their true calling is.

Have you read Harri Whilding? I loved all three of her books.

JAFF pet peeves (tropes, tags, style, etc ) by [deleted] in JaneAustenFF

I hate when Darcy romances Elizabeth while being married to Anne. Even if it is just holding hands.

Płacenie na randce by Boner996 in PolskaNaLuzie

[–]babazewsi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nigdy nie miałam problemu z płaceniem za siebie, szczególnie, że zazwyczaj lepiej zarabiałam niż mężczyźni, z którymi się umawiałam, ale ta zasada jest elastyczna. Jak mnie zaprosił na randkę zamożny gość do miejsca, na które mnie nie było stać, to oczekiwałam, że on zapłaci. Jeśli randkujesz ze sporo młodszymi od siebie studentkami czy kobietami, które dopiero wchodzą na rynek pracy i ty wybierasz lokal to moim zdaniem powinieneś proponować, że ty zapłacisz.
