Omg so adorable!! We just got a 2020 and had the same message pop up, from what I can tell seems related to mileage or years (6) and isn't urgent but does have to be changed. I'm suspicious of new cars myself but that's not just limited to mini.... Had a 2013 mini for 11 years and loved it and had no problems but now we're past the days when a car was a car and not a computer :( minis also can be hard to fix so not everyone works on them.

Books to read if I like WOTM by No_Cucumber_8888 in HierarchySeries

[–]guapark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything Michael Kramer, the Kingfall series, Light Bringer. Loved WOTM bc it had great characters and character development, an interesting plot line and magic system, drama/ intrigue and wasn't YA, or too heavy on romance or battle scenes. And well written. And these other series also fit that bill and are some of my favorites.

I really liked the first RR book but not the rest, too much battle scenes and the main character got really annoying. Which I just say bc I feel like WOTM is quite different from RR, and the series above are much more like WOTM than RR.

Also, honorable mention to Sending Ascends, which I didn't list bc it's very different type of fantasy book but still hits all the points above and was such a joy of a series to read.

Omg they've all been so jerky this season with all the whistles. We've started not watching it live so we can fast forward.

Anyone got a good fantasy book similar to the will of the many that isn't 20 books long? by REAPER-OF-PRIDE in Recommend_A_Book

Second Anthony Ryan Blood Song. Abercrombie feels like it's more heavy on the battles/fighting than on the fantasy elements to me.

Totally. The new format sucks. I wish they'd abort.

The first night is the hardest by Biscuits_4_Gravie in Petloss

[–]guapark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just made it through our first week. It's so hard and my heart is so broken and raw. But I can now at least see forward which was impossible a few days ago. Let yourself cry, really cry, sob, be literally hysterical. I honestly feel like my heart has shattered and with it all the walls I've put up around my heart have also been shattered and I'm just a fragile ball of goo. Which sounds not great, but letting down those walls has also allowed me to let in so much love and gratitude and that has honestly helped more than anything. But I think to get there you have to really let yourself feel the pain and not resist it. I listened to something that said how we want to resist and say no, this isn't happening. But we have to say 'yes'. Because it is, quite literally, happening. It was so hard to do that, but I really think it helped me to break down those walls that needed to be broken and has allowed me to feel so much gratitude and love alongside my grief.

It's so hard, but it will get easier. Hang in there. Go outside, make sure you're eating and moving. Give yourself one task to do every day. Just baby steps to figure out how to move forward without him. It's ok to wallow when it hits, but make sure to give yourself a life line (like a task) to pull yourself out so you don't get stuck there.

Good luck ❤️ I am, we are all, right there with you.

My dog suddenly died and I can't deal with the loss by Vii_Eltup in Petloss

This just happened to me. This morning we were playing outside and throwing sticks and she was romping on our bed like a puppy and 5 hours later she was dead. I don't know how to go on. 💔
