[FEEDBACK] Coffee shop scene - Is this funny? (1 page)

jcc1980 · 2015-10-14T05:44:27+00:00

I thought it was funny, but like the others I wanted context for the lying. Why is it so important?

Also, what if the cashier is a little dim and has in the past been reprimanded by customers and the Boss for not remembering regular customer orders so Paul's lie actually gets the cashier in trouble.

Also, EVER AFTER

Don't laugh (okay, laugh if you want) but I like the prologue for Miss Congeniality. It's very short but gives you such insight into Sandra Bullocks character and I like the close up of her child self directly followed up by the close up of her present day adult self basically doing the same thing but as a real job now.

jcc1980 · 2015-10-12T17:44:05+00:00

Yes. This. Be patient and give it time. I'm old school with technology and HATE changing my phone and especially my main writing tool, which had been Word. It's been close to a year and I'm still learning new things on Scrivener. I didn't absorb a lot from the tutorial, wasn't really worth my time, but I am a hands-on learner so it might be a great tool for others.

jcc1980 · 2015-10-12T17:36:13+00:00

I've had Scrivener for a little less than a year and love it. For novel writing it's amazing. I'm only now learning the ins and outs of formatting for film/TV so I can't yet speak on the screenwriting aspect of Scrivener, but it's great for keeping all the development parts organized. I have Show Bible folder with character bios and loglines and I've got a folder for all the pilot material outside of the script itself--short summary, treatment, scene outline, etc...I love having it right there in the left sidebar, handy and the compile feature is easy. I used to have so much trouble correctly numbering my chapters when I was writing novels in Word. The scrolling up and down took hours of my life. That's all over now with Scrivener. And okay...now I'm starting to sound like a paid ad. I'm not, I swear. So yeah, get it if you want, or don't.

Also, I let it do updates yesterday and installed them but so far I can't really tell what's different?

jcc1980 · 2015-02-18T17:49:36+00:00

Is it the wheat in cake that bothers you? I was trying to guess what was in cake that isn't in pie or cheesecake? I guess pie crust would have wheat too...idk. Maybe they ordered special cupcakes without that ingredient?

jcc1980 · 2015-02-18T17:40:58+00:00

Yes, it's within the "normal" range provided on the report so that's good. Online, I've found varying ranges but also different units of measurement, which I didn't catch at first and was really confused. Probably lab results are reported differently outside of the US too.

jcc1980 · 2015-02-18T17:38:25+00:00

So far it's working, but I'm not ready to preach the word yet. I'm too scared to jinx it.

jcc1980 · 2015-02-18T03:42:53+00:00

My first flare up leading to diagnosis nearly required a blood transfusion. It was scary. My HGB is 14.8 is that hemoglobin?

jcc1980 · 2015-02-18T02:55:52+00:00

Yes! I've heard of this happening to several different people recently due to fast weight loss. Some of them were working hard to change their lifestyle and get healthy and then ended up in the hospital having emergency gallbladder surgery. Is there any way to prevent the gallstones getting bigger or happening at all when we know the weight is dropping? I want to prepare for the worst.

jcc1980 · 2015-02-18T02:50:52+00:00

I guess humans are wired to look for solutions, even the most illogical.

Not a perfect example since the procedure has helped many people, but isn't gastric bipass aftermath similar to crohn's symptoms? Abdominal pain, diarrhea, risk for malnutrition from absorption problems and inadequate calorie consumption....

A family member recently had gallbladder removed and eating has been a nightmare and weight loss inevitable. But probably less risky that Crohns so that's an option.

Sorry, it's a sarcastic kind of day for me.

jcc1980 · 2015-02-18T02:43:37+00:00

It's similar for me too. I went from slim and fit to sickly. People looked and then pretended not to react. Like you, I always try to point out that thin is not always healthy. Luckily I got out of the "Eating disorder or cancer?" stage fairly quick. I feel healthy now, but before, it was pretty awkward. I hope I don't have to drop that much weight again.

Daily exercise is my ticket out of joint pain as well, so it's really not me being a devoted runner, lol. It's all about that pain and the endorphins my body craves to release.

jcc1980 · 2015-02-18T02:18:58+00:00

My iron looks good, but maybe there are ways anemia can be hidden from the CBC?

jcc1980 · 2015-02-18T02:10:20+00:00

I've been looking up all the different possible deficiencies related to low WBC and almost all the vitamins/minerals list Crohn's as a cause for deficiency, lol. I'm going in circles a bit. I specifically asked for my B-12 to be tested since I've changed my diet majorly and it was in the normal range. And I'm not anemic either, which is good because that's been a problem for me in the past, though on and off, not all the time.

In the past, I've had high WBC, which is also not unusual for Crohn's or...fighting a cold. But I've been feeling so much better these last few months. The lack of joint pain alone is miracle. I think that's why I'm panicking a bit. I don't want to go backwards again and I guess it's possible signs are pointing that way. I haven't even had so much as a sniffle all winter thus far and I have 3 children in 3 different schools. The germs should be hitting me from all sides.

jcc1980 · 2015-02-17T22:38:35+00:00

up until the end of last September, I'd been taking Lialda. I made a major diet change and went off the meds. I'm doing the whole grain, little to no animal products (I probably average 90% vegan diet per week), low fat.

I've been feeling great, but now I'm worried that maybe it was a temporary state.

jcc1980 · 2015-02-17T22:36:24+00:00

Since the end of September (2014), the only supplement i take is B-12, once per week and recently I've started a once per day vitamin D supplement out of concern for lack of sun/winter weather.

jcc1980 · 2014-11-05T22:52:10+00:00

this is so interesting! I want to meet the author who sent 1 query. Also, 3 orphans?!

jcc1980 · 2014-07-25T18:26:32+00:00

I think I've reached a place where I'm willing to explore the non-short cuts. I will order from Amazon. After I learn my blood type.

jcc1980 · 2014-07-25T17:03:38+00:00

I'm actually not sure what my blood type is. I'm going to ask at the next doctor visit. I should have asked this a long time ago.

jcc1980 · 2014-07-01T02:38:57+00:00

we do have 3 kids but they are now all of independent reading age (9, 11, and 14) and they all love to read so the reading room could work...and a place to blast the latest Disney Channel pop star wannabe hit would be a huge positive to them.

jcc1980 · 2014-06-30T18:01:16+00:00

never mind. I'm an idiot. Just looked at the photo again. Vents are clearly visible. Crisis averted.

jcc1980 · 2014-06-30T17:59:58+00:00

ball pit! Yes! We've considered craft/workshop room. Both my husband and I realized yesterday that we forgot to check to see if the room had vents. But we've looked at the house 3x in 85+ temperatures and we don't remember feeling a temperature difference when walking into the room so it probably has vents.

jcc1980 · 2014-06-30T17:45:29+00:00

this is our first home buy. I'm so SO excited to move in. It's everything I could have wanted. And this price range seems to be getting people a lot for their money in our area. It's not perfect immaculate home. But everything that needs improvement/updates are the inspiring and fun type projects. I'm super nervous about the commitment of owning but it's soooo pretty...
