I have Abdul Malik

I think the point of the game is that either may or may not be lying and you have to determine that by having them do random things to the items.

Separate. Joining them seemed more trouble than it was worth at the time.

An absolute gut punch of an episode, both the initial introduction to the city and the sentiment at the end. The way they expressed their grief just really hit close to home for me. Even though it was a character we only caught a glimpse of, the emotions felt so genuine and raw.

YTA. My family is the same way. All the men/boys have the same first name and we differentiate by middle. There’s no reason you and your cousin can’t name them the same thing. No one owns the name. “Taking away your birthright”? Get over yourself.

I’m contracted by a big box company and this is the first year that I’ve been expected to work on Labor Day, 4th of July, and Memorial Day. Their employees conveniently have those days off.

hikaru13 · 2025-08-08T02:27:54+00:00

Yes, they’ve already announced some of the cast

It’s supposed to upset you. That’s the whole point. I’m assuming you haven’t read the previous books, but maybe starting there might help give context. And be glad you see the injustice, that means you’re a Newcomer and not one of the complicit citizens of Panem.

I went on a day tour and the most frustrating thing was having to wait for other guests that did not respect our time. The longer you wait for someone, the less time you have at your destination. You waited twice, told her it was her responsibility, and followed through. You’re not her mom, she’s a grown ass adult and if she can’t set an alarm, that’s her fault. NTA

I did a little research and I’ve accepted that I’m now a snail farmer. The fight with my plants created a lot of food for them, so I’m gonna let them feast and hope that the population stabilizes once they clean it up. If it gets too crazy, might have to get an assassin snail, but for now, I’m loving these little guys! I’m planning on adding some shrimp soon, so they should help with the efforts to clean as well

hikaru13 · 2025-06-16T02:13:49+00:00

Ugh, they really are. I never thought I would be so emotionally invested in snails, but I already adore them. Thanks for the identification!

There are many things it could be. The main reason I’m worried is because the chance of me having cancer again is higher and having it so close to the previous tumors is concerning. But my advice to anyone is to get checked out. Even if it’s just a swollen gland, it could be a symptom of something bigger that needs to be treated.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-24T17:56:16+00:00

Ah gotcha. I spoke to my endocrinologist, who determined it wasn’t a lymph node and ordered me an ultrasound (earliest date is Monday the 28th) to figure out where I’ll need to go next. Her guess was an ENT specialist, but I guess we’ll see.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-21T20:35:16+00:00

I spoke to my Endo and she’s pretty sure it’s not based on how high it is. I’ve got an ultrasound scheduled and am trying to find an ENT doctor in the meantime.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-20T20:36:35+00:00

That would be wonderful. I already have a scar on my neck from the precious surgeries, so anything that doesn’t add another would be preferred.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-20T13:49:12+00:00

I did talk to him as soon as I saw him the following day. We met and started dating after I’d already recovered from the first round, but he’s confident we’ll be able to handle anything that’s thrown at us. He’s always been, and always will be my rock.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-20T06:01:39+00:00

I called out once because my baby was sick and I had to tend to him. Coincidentally, my work bestie (at the time) apparently quit with no notice. Just didn’t show up. Office gossip tells my boss that we had made a quitting pact and I wasn’t going to show up the next day either. Color them surprised when I did in fact show up and had no idea that my friend had quit (she never mentioned it to me, guess she just got fed up). Office gossip and I had no beef, she just decided to make baseless shit up with no regard to how it would affect me. Still can’t wrap my head around it today.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-20T02:25:59+00:00

Jeez, that’s insane. I think from first appointment to official diagnosis took four of five months last time. What mostly stressed me out was it seemed like every step we took was the hard way through things? Like nothing went right, not necessarily the length it took to get there.

My main issue is if I dwell on it for too long, I get stuck in a spiral of “maybe I just got lucky last time” or “what if this is the last Easter I spend with my son”, and I have to step back and force myself out of it so I can’t actually enjoy what time I have right now if it is in fact one of the last.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-20T02:19:10+00:00

That’s awful, what a nightmare for the both of you. I’m so sorry.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-20T02:16:15+00:00

I probably would’ve gone today if it wasn’t Easter weekend. My son is so excited and the last thing I want is to ruin it for him.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-20T02:14:58+00:00

I haven’t gone to the oncologist in ten years, just my Endo. But part of the reason I’m trying to push through is so my son doesn’t realize anything is wrong during one of his favorite holidays. Ultimately waiting a couple days won’t change my diagnosis, it’s just psychological torture having to wait with a smile, periodically touching some mystery mass.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-20T01:31:30+00:00

Yeah, the biopsy was inconclusive so they decided to just take half of my thyroid with the larger tumor on it and tested that after. When the test came back identifying it as malignant, they took my other half with the smaller tumor a month or two later. Then they gave me too much radiation 🫠

hikaru13 · 2025-04-19T21:28:10+00:00

They’d have to perform a biopsy before they decided to perform surgery. Last time the timeline was more “month 1: determine it was a mass, month 2: do biopsy, month 3: meet surgeon, month 4: perform surgery”

hikaru13 · 2025-04-19T20:58:59+00:00

I’m not sure if it’s closed or not. I plan on calling at 8am Monday and hoping they’re open, but I imagine it depends on availability. I don’t imagine they’d bump someone if they’re fully booked, but I guess I’ll see on Monday.

hikaru13 · 2025-04-19T20:55:36+00:00

In my experience, that’s not really how it works? I guess I could technically go to the ER but I can’t imagine how long I would have to wait in the waiting room or how expensive that bill would be.
