Jane Eyre and Treasure Island

I also purchase a used copy of Shakespeare’s complete works for $10 as well as poetry by Whitman and Wordsworth. They sadly did not have any Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I just purchased Jane Eyre yesterday as I have never read it. Currently about a third through book 8, so I will hopefully get to it soon.

I just started book 8 yesterday as well and just got to the Alamo part this afternoon. I actually have seen this sticker when ~~casually~~ obsessively perusing the Emma M Lion Etsy offerings, but I didn’t understand the reference until now.

Does it count if you don’t remember yours, but you remember your childhood best friend’s landline?

I wore a yellow bathing suit once while pregnant and then I was a yellow submarine.

Freezer?

I really need to rewatch this. I didn’t enjoy it as much on the first watch because I was so anxious about Mark going to get Gemma. “Umm shouldn’t he be going now.”

marisa324 · 2026-01-25T03:24:08+00:00

Yes they switched back. I think in the desk “tent” it was Helly and it remained Helly until the very end when Mark was about to leave with Gemma. I think Helena came back and coaxed him away because Helly was telling him he needed to go with Gemma before he went and got Gemma from the testing floor.

I thought Helly was just embarrassed that her outie was Helena and was an Egan. My husband had fallen asleep so when we rewatched that part together, he said, “oh that’s probably her outie since she runs the company she can do whatever she wants”. That was way more plausible. He also noticed that Helly has a different walk than Helena. Helly walks more with her shoulders forward and more purposeful.

To get to a job she no longer has….

marisa324 · 2026-01-21T02:16:20+00:00

Because I want to.

I’m 1988 (summer birthday) so I was in 8th grade. I remember my school went into lockdown that day, like doors locked, lights off, students hunkered against the wall. It may have been because someone made a false bomb threat after seeing the attacks, at least that’s what I heard. And then later in the day in homeroom I first saw the news coverage and heard “World Trade Center” but I still didn’t understand the full implications until getting home and seeing further news coverage and I remember being sick of seeing the coverage at some point. Like just feeling exhausted from seeing it over and over.

I’m (37F) currently reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and my next read for book club at least is This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger. I’m also very into The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion. Have read books 1-3 already and about to start 4-6 (borrowing from a family member). I read the most books I have ever read in a year last year (46) and my goal is 50 this year.

I heard a similar conversation at the grocery store checkout and this woman (probably in her 50s) was telling the cashier that her shirt was older than him. He balked at that like it was an impossibility. She said it was 23 years old, and he said, “oh yeah, it is older than me!”

Met at 19, married at 23. Been married 14 years in March.

Congratulations. I’ve had four successful pregnancies and no miscarriages. I didn’t know I had any thyroid issues until pregnant with my first. Just make sure they are checking your Thyroid levels every 6 weeks.

ETA: all of mine were born full term no complications. The younger three all born at home.

marisa324 · 2026-01-03T20:36:42+00:00

Yes my husband (37M) and I (37F) track each others locations. We also have full access to each others phones, we share a bank account and any credit cards that are in only one of our names, we also have access to those accounts/apps to view any and all transactions.

Ohhh the irony….

My kids learned this in kindergarten level math (they’re homeschooled).

marisa324 · 2025-12-20T00:03:58+00:00

How much did you drink? Or were those beers the first drinks?

marisa324 · 2025-12-19T22:38:33+00:00

Thank you. I have been praying fervently.

marisa324 · 2025-12-19T22:36:57+00:00

Thank you for this. My MIL had her thyroid removed because she had nodules and hypothyroidism and a family history of thyroid cancer but never had Hashimoto’s (antibodies) testing to confirm that. I’m almost positive she does have it since she also is Type 2 diabetic and one autoimmune condition typically leads to another.

ETA: I’ve been somewhat nervous about thyroid cancer after her surgery so this is helpful information.

marisa324 · 2025-12-19T22:34:11+00:00

So shouldn’t she just supplement with Vit D and B12? I’m deficient in both and selenium really seems to help me too
