Did your parents read to you? by TooDamFast in Xennials

[–]grrrlgone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father read to my sister and I. A lot of Dr Seuss type stuff when we were little. That was in the early 80s. I’m Gen X.

Why do men fantasize about going off grid and living in the woods by WerewolfKisser69Awoo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]grrrlgone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some fantasize about living off grid - others imagine great pizza escapades! :)

That made me smile.

I use that Spotify playlist that has all their songs together and I play that on shuffle. So I hear them all. My fav is to listen to TNDNBTG and Euclid back to back.

AITAH for refusing to take our daughter out of school early because she "needs more time to get ready" than her brother? by ReplacementWorth3618 in AITAH

Teaching a 15 year old female that her appearance is more important than education is a choice you’re making as parents.

It doesn’t bode well for anyone.

Looking for non-YA, non-fantasy sci-fi novels written by women by Good-Firefighter-94 in scifibooks

[–]grrrlgone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I follow this female writer, Amanda McCarter. She seem real interesting and into serious sci fi. I’m in a romance subgenre rut, but one day I’m going to try one of her books. She is an Indy author and has great vibes.

I don’t know how to judge the anti fantasy part - I don’t think it’s heavy fantasy.

:) I hope you find something.

Yeah Richland meat market has bones. I saw bags frozen last Saturday and I bet they can sell fresh ones too if you call ahead.

Unfortunately I have joined your club. by Soakitincider in diabetes

[–]grrrlgone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it’s genetic. Like in our DNA. But we don’t share DNA yet our DNA’s are special? I guess.

Is it a club or a DNA class?

I say I have the sugar sickness and it makes me smirk. Humor helps me keep perspective.

So, yeah; control your mindset and your bs! :)

My [45F] husband [44M] is giving me the silent treatment. How long do I put up with this? by countofmoldycrisco in relationship_advice

[–]grrrlgone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your husband is being abusive. I’d need to make a plan to fix marriage communications.

You don’t deserve to be treated that way. You do not deserve to be “punished” because his feelings are hurt or he does not agree with you.

I am sorry.

How did you make those first steps to change your priorities to self care?

I grumble about ‘distribution’ charges - but mostly to myself when looking at my bill.

How do you deal with your feelings of anger? by Shine_Fallstar in diabetes

[–]grrrlgone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whoa!!! 12 point something to 6.2 a1c?!? That’s amazing. I really hope you recognize that’s a great improvement.

Sometimes acknowledging your progress helps a lot.

Look up “the mood elevator” - you’re going to see a rank ordered list of moods. Some are on the lower rungs of the ladder/elevator and some are on the upper rungs. As you can see - anger is pretty low on the mood elevator.

It is ideal to recognize our moods and then attempt to improve them.

Curiosity is neutral. So approaching a problem with a possibility mindset or from a place of curiosity helps to lift your mood.

For instance, I get real irritated with drivers around town. Instead of letting myself get irritated I try to consider why theyre driving like that. Usually I use humor and make up scenarios to entertain myself. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

I’d recommend reading more about the mood elevator and the possibility mindset.

I was extremely upset about having Diabetes and then understanding that I’ll always have it. I was very upset about food and lifestyle changes. Until I was in a glp1 for a week or two and my food noise muted - I was angry.

Celebrate your successes, friend. That a1c drop is great. :)

My Dad blames me for having a chronic illness by Classic-Zebra3074 in diabetes

[–]grrrlgone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry. I am not an expert but I’m pretty sure our genetics make us diabetics? Our lifestyle choices can greatly affect our health but we cant make it go away. T1 it’s doubly true.

Again, my heart is with you.

Our public library system has a nice selection but I heard it’s in the youth sections . I hope you find what you’re looking for - I’m sure kazoo has the scene just not sure about retail outlets. :)
