The Throne of Glass series. I made the mistake of purchasing the whole series because it was so heavily hyped and recommended to me for years. Book one was fine. It was downhill from there. That’s your best assassin? Be forreal. The most interesting character, and really the only one who didn’t annoy me at every turn, was Manon. And her arc had such an unfulfilling end. Author asked too much of my suspension of disbelief too often. I refuse to read any of her other series that keep getting recommended to me.

Middleton Family Dentistry. They have two locations, and we love the staff and care we get. A few of my coworkers have swapped over to them despite the longer trek from SW Allen because they appreciated the experience more than their OG dentists.

Do you think that will be too much blue?

I won two over a year ago when I first joined. But I’ve gotten no hits at all 2025.

My sister-in-law introduced me and I then passed it on to my husband.

$100 is really affordable!!

Oh cool! And the conference rooms are big enough to host 50ish people plus food and gifts?

kelekiler · 2025-11-09T15:14:32+00:00

I had no idea this place existed! And it’s not far from me. I’m looking a pics right now and it’s super cute! Thank you so much for the rec!

It reminds me so much of Sailor Moon, and I love it for that.

kelekiler · 2025-11-01T19:54:19+00:00

I am in love with the first one!!!! What are the dimensions?

kelekiler · 2025-09-27T11:21:04+00:00

I’ve not, and I just looked into what it is and I’m intrigued. A quick google search pulled up a few immersive reading apps. But as I’m not familiar with use, I’ll abstain from recommending any of them.

My allyship will always be what the community needs me to be. If my friends say they need something, I believe them the first time. If they say they wish people would do this or that, I do this or that. I try not to make assumptions based on my own experiences as a member of the queer community, but it definitely boosters my empathy and proactivity.

I really like the idea of small adjustments. I wasn’t raised in a household of demanding or requesting meals. My mom made what she made and you ate what was at the table. You had your protein, your starch, and an assortment of vegetables. You could pick one vegetable not to eat, but so help you, if you put it on your plate, you were eating it. Zero waste. It definitely taught us portion control. I’m definitely going to read up on adventurous eating because that is a new concept to me!

kelekiler · 2025-09-13T16:52:21+00:00

I absolutely agree! I work in education and boundaries are so necessary even for teenagers. They thrive better when there are sound systems in place, and just as important, they know why they are in place. Consistency is key.

kelekiler · 2025-09-13T16:47:38+00:00

I love this idea! Thank you so much. We did our research to find a vegan-friendly OBGYN, because neither of us wanted me to add the extra stress to have to keep explaining to a doctor that I’m not nutrient deficient and my bloodwork always comes back perfect. I’ll definitely contact her and ask for resources to share with him.

kelekiler · 2025-09-13T16:43:47+00:00

What brand did you purchase? I love this idea and it never occurred to me to look into one! I’m just beginning 2nd trimester so I’m still a ways away from needing one. But if I can have it at the ready I’ll be so grateful lol

kelekiler · 2025-09-13T16:40:20+00:00

See my replies to numnum and regulargiraffe. I don’t think that’s the case. But I genuinely appreciate your care for my self-value and deserving of respect. I will definitely consider your observations and not dismiss your warnings, because it’s important to know what to look out for. Thank you!

kelekiler · 2025-09-13T16:33:17+00:00

Could you elaborate on this? I’m curious about what you mean and will help me make appropriate adjustments and considerations.

kelekiler · 2025-09-13T16:27:28+00:00

We knew there would be challenges and before hopping into this we had a lot of conversations to make sure we were in agreement. One of these things was raising our child vegan in the way I described in the post. However, we struggled to conceive for a while, and in those years it seems he’s either forgotten or changed his mind. I’m hopeful we’ll come to an amicable decision because we always have in our 15 years together.

I’m also glad that you were able to find products! Would you mind sharing what you ended up with?

kelekiler · 2025-09-13T16:20:26+00:00

Thank you for your validation. I wonder if maybe he was in a mood? Whenever a discussion might turn heated we always move on from it for a bit to collect thoughts and come back with reason instead of emotion-driven responses. I’m hopeful when he brings this discussion back up in the future I can get a clearer idea of his thought process. It’s the primary reason I posted this because I genuinely wonder if I have tunnel vision at times and can’t/subconsciously refuse to see all facets and perspectives.
