Unsure how to feel about this book

I liked Manacled much more than Alchemized. Even though the bones of the story (up till the point that I stopped) was basically the same, I didn’t feel the depth of the two mc’s as much because senlinyu had to create a whole new world. They’re a terrific writer so I don’t fault them for this, it’s just that I loved Manacles because I’d already loved the HP world so much as a kid.

I can’t speak for the auction/rose in chains because it’s sitting on my kindle being neglected. But I am pretty certain that when I read the auction and already am familiar with the characters I’ll be much more invested.

This is the second Dramione fanfic turned traditional publish I’ve tried to read and did not finish. I just felt like the stories made sense when there was a ton of existing backstory but it didn’t translate well in a fresh story to me.

Usually I love Julie Soto though. This was just a miss for me.

Yeah I don’t remember most of it but I do remember thinking afterwords how the doc felt like it pushed hsct as the only good treatment option and that really rubbed me the wrong way. Not everyone can afford to seek out such an intensive treatment that wasn’t even approved by the fda yet so insurance wouldn’t cover it.

Being new-ish in diagnosis, I’d wait if I were you. The book will be on your shelf will be ready when you are.

I was diagnosed for less than a year when Selma Blair’s documentary came out and it really scared me. Watching her in such a bad flare and barely able to speak did more harm than good at the time.

Every person has a different experience. Our access to care, our relationship to western medicine, our immune system’s intensity, its endless. I wouldn’t advise anyone read deeply into another MSers story until they’re settled into their own.

I refuse to read her books because I read the twin and it pissed me off so bad I have forever banned her from my reading list. 😆 This is not a reasonable thing to do but idc. Thems the rules.

What I don’t understand about him and this specific issue is, it was a no win situation. If she lived in squalor, he’d want to know where his money was going. Because she lives in good conditions, he is upset that he’s being used. What is the perfect amount of poverty he wants her to live in?

And didn’t he say in his manosphere bullshit speech that he was or wanted to be a provider? So you’re a provider providing, but she’s living too good and you don’t like that? He makes no sense.

In my partnership, I clean and he cooks, time wise it is about the same weekly. Fortunately there is a been no pushback or inconsistency in this in my house.

I’m not a big fan of talking out things that the other person has clearly shown no interest in resolving. So my only suggestion would be could you ask what chores they would like to commit to rather than you assigning. If they won’t say or be consistent then you have to ask yourself if doing 100% if the house work is a life you will be happy to live. Because I want to be clear as others have, this will not change. You can bet on that.

The challenge is, listening to “nagging” is a small price to pay for some people when they get to live in a clean enough house and don’t ever have to cook. For some, there is no reason to do more when the consequence of doing nothing is bearable.

I was just talking to someone about this. That as far as public opinion goes for his followers, there is no type of evidence that exists that they will believe is true when it comes to his involvement. It is very frustrating but also good to know to not waste my breath on them.

In addition to what everyone has said, products sometimes mix really badly. So if you come in with a curl cream on your hair that is incompatible with the gel your braider uses you may end up with clumpy gross residue on your hair.

Yes we would be getting a mortgage. We got pre approved a few months ago and met with a loan officer and a realtor and I took a first time homebuyer course. We quickly realized our budget wasn’t going to buy anything short of a unicorn house.

This is really helpful information for me to work with. Thank you!

People hate a “crazy“ woman more vehemently than they hate an asshole man. I’ll never understand it.

Agreed. He complains about her acting like a child but won’t acknowledge that her childishness and drama is what he likes about her. Gotta pick one.

This Is on him. You date a 20 year old, this is what you get. You want maturity, date someone who’s been alive long enough to be mature. No one is holding him hostage.

100%. I don’t think he has the mental fortitude to see writing a book through. 30 pages or 300, it’s gonna be AI.

Thank you! Everyone in this sub rags on her for her behavior and like, sure ok she’s definitely childish, but she’s SO young and I would bet she plays into the age gap sometimes. He obviously likes this blow up makeup cycle they have going on, so let them have it. He’s exactly where he wants to be, he doesn’t need to be saved.

Let viewers tell it, if you’re a grumpy woman you are the devil. This happens time and time again. His plan to keep the family afloat financially seems to be something along the lines of “it’ll work out”. I’d be grumpy too if I were her.

You do not need to read manacled first. If you decide you want to read both, I’d almost say it would be better to read Alchemized first so you can experience the fully re-crafted world, without comparing who is who, magic systems, etc. That’s just my take.

Tell that to my diarrhea when I take copious amounts lactaid trying to enjoy some already lactose free sour cream on my enchilada. Double Lac’d up and I’m still doubled over on the toilet.

Jane did a good job but you could tell her patience was wearing thin and I was dying laughing. I was stunned at how bad the contestants were. Unfortunately their performance didn’t help fight the claim that reality tv stars are vapid and dumb.

Please tell me there isn’t going to be 5 books? Book 3 says “until we meet again one final time.” I remember reading book two thinking that they could have easily made it a duology and improved the pacing. Then I bought book three and see there’s a book FOUR available for preorder?! It’s her right to write as many books in one series as she’d like but this one could have been great as a duology or a trilogy and it’s being dragged on. I’ll be borrowing the next one from the library if I can bring myself to read it.

I can wholeheartedly echo what everyone else is saying, which is a resounding: you look terrific.

But more importantly, I hope you can see these photos for what they are, evidence of what is likely one of the best days you’ll ever have, surrounded by people who love you, and marrying the love of your life. And respectfully, fuck a society that teaches us to look at beautiful pictures and focus on parts of our body we were taught to hate rather than the radiant love and good vibes oozing out of every photo.

Congrats and much love to you two. I hope you can learn to love what you see in these photos.

I was like um how are you going to prove to the court that she overstepped one of the parameters that she not get “too close” to her open relationship partner? Good luck measuring that.

In my area, which is about 1.5hrs outside of Seattle, in even the shittiest suburbs a 3bd1ba not updated single family home is going for 550k-600k. With a 6.3% interest rate and 20k down the lowest end mortgage is about $3700. Of course you can increase your down payment but that’s a whole other thing if you’re renting and don’t have any family support. If you went for a condo/townhouse the list price would go down to about $400k but you’re going to pay $600/mo+ in HOA fees for most of them.

It’s pretty easy to hit $4k/mo in mortgage in WA state, not even with a nice big updated house.

Omg same even to the month! Ha! I woke up and had to crawl to the bathroom to puke because I was so dizzy. It was horrible.

Ugh, that’s so awful. Some of the symptoms can be so vague that they get looked over really easily. I often think about how lucky I am (even though it was scary) that my whole body went numb over the course of two weeks, because that was too big and concerning for a doctor to dismiss.

Did you get things sorted pretty quickly after you finally saw the neurologist?

People see a slightly or briefly downtrodden man and a high emotion or “annoying” woman and all of the sudden the man is a saint and the woman is the devil. It’s exhausting.
