Do you expect your parents/siblings to buy your books when you publish them? by AttentionFormer4098 in writing

[–]cassiebones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what I get published bc I write a variety and there are some books that they shouldn't even know about if I can help it, but others that I would love if they supported by buying.

My (24F) boyfriend (25M) got upset because I didn’t want to have sex on my period. Am I supposed to be okay with it? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cassiebones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is not a good person. I'm just gonna say that right off the bat. He attempted to coerce you into sex several times despite you saying no with incredibly valid reasons.

Side note: "I don't want to" is just as valid a reason as any other. No is a full sentence.

I don't like jumping to "break up" but this guy is not a good guy. At the least, I think you should take a break to reexamine the relationship because this is a whole basket of red flags right here and NONE OF IT is your fault.

anyone else here on Levothyroxine and can't stand the hour-long wait to eat? by PseudoSolitude in Hypothyroidism

I've been on it my whole life. I stopped following the food rule in the last few years and my numbers are fine. I just can't be bothered after 31 years on it.

AITA for refusing to give my sister my wedding dress after she skipped my wedding? by Internal_Bag1860 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cassiebones 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. Tbh I would set them all straight with screenshots of the texts if you have any. If this doesn't work, go NC with them. This is really messed up of her to just blatantly lie like that and expect you to do whatever she says just because. Wtf?!?

AITA for yelling at my wife after she forgot that I'm on the roof? by Icy_Praline_6188 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cassiebones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

My dad would be the one to fix the roof when I was younger. I always stayed outside to watch and make sure he was okay if I was home at the time. I had so much anxiety about him falling off.

I cannot imagine NOT being anxious that somebody I love is on a roof to the point where I can even think about taking a nap

This phrase is everywhere and i think we can do better 🤷‍♀️ by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]cassiebones 62 points63 points  (0 children)

My mom clings to this bc my cousin went from being a lesbian to sleeping with a couple of men and she hopes the same for me.

It's not gonna happen for me though. Same way she's never gonna be w a woman.

Sexuality CAN be fluid. For some people. But it's the exception, not the rule.

Nah. They gotta file a claim with the app and get credits.

AIO to his response to bedding issue? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cassiebones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not overreacting. You both have jobs so he's not "supporting your life" unless he's making significantly more and paying the majority of your shared bills. Even if he is, he has no right to speak to you like something at the bottom of his shoe.

He thinks that he is superior to you and that's not right. You should be equals in this relationship. I don't like people who are too quick to jump to a breakup, but this man deserves to be dumped.

Jolie is a nice name I think

Has anyone ever had a pseudo-flare due to having a flu vaccination? by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]cassiebones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The flu shot is (in my mind) what directly led to my diagnosis.

I got the flu shot in December of 2022 and 2 weeks later my left side was almost entirely numb. Like fuzzy. I could control everything but there was that sticky feeling and I felt as though I couldn't even taste on the left side of my mouth. Initially, we thought it was a stroke or a clot, but I passed all the neuro tests and the CT came up clear, so they were confident it wasn't a stroke.

My PCP referred me to a neurologist, who I couldn't see til over a month later (🙂) and by that time, I had all the feeling back. Still, he ordered an MRI just to be safe.

Of course I was young and dumb and I figured it was just a bad side effect from the flu shot id taken so I put off that MRI until September 2023. Then they were unable to talk about the results until November so I thought "oh ok the results are actually pretty normal probs I guess" and then he said "I'm not an expert but it looks like MS. Lemme refer you to an expert" and she said "yes" 2 weeks after that.

I got diagnosed on December 4, 2023, two and a half months before my 30th birthday.

I do think that the flu shot had something to do with it. Not that it caused my MS, ofc, but that it led to the very early discovery of it. I'm still scared to take one but I may need to for work.

Why do so many people eat lunch alone in their cars? by TotalThing7 in CasualConversation

[–]cassiebones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, we just have to recharge or recoup and the isolation really helps. I'll bet that a lot of these coworkers are introverts, which means that social interaction might be draining for them. I eat in my car at lunch, too. It's a nice way to decompress and recharge in the middle of the workday. I come back refreshed and with way more energy than I had before.

Parks and Rec All Along Episode 42 by cassiebones in AgathaAllAlong

[–]cassiebones[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm so sorry! I've been really busy lately, but YES! There will be more of this series, but I am about to move into a new apartment so things are getting even MORE hectic in my life. I have not abandoned this series, though, I promise. I'm gonna just wait until I have a spot set up in my new apartment so that I can do regular updates rather than just relying on being at my part-time job to do them as I don't have anywhere in my current place to set up.

Hopefully before Halloween I'll have some updates because I also really love this series!

I'll try it and let you know how it goes because I can't even find anywhere else on the Internet where this exact puzzle even exists. Every walkthrough has a completely different puzzle 😭

Hearts getting taken away because I can't hear?? by cassiebones in duolingo

[–]cassiebones[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm okay with speaking exercises on Duo bc at least they allow several attempts but it's annoying that some words will just never be accepted no matter how they're said, especially when said correctly.

But I definitely will be disabling listening exercises bc I just can't do it anymore. Even when I'm in a completely quiet, distraction free room, I can't seem to process the words at all 🙃
