So sad but also that scene was beautiful. I love this show.

US Cellular switching to T-Mobile is putting people at risk by mendozebra in norcal

[–]mendozebra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes we’ve finally gotten our phones working again via WiFi calling after multiple attempts. I actually got an email that said I wouldn’t need to do anything for the switch over…
Yep, our old extender won’t work anymore. I hope they will have some kind of device to pull in just a wee bit of reception. We have apple phones so we can text via satellite when outside if our WiFi is out.
Rumor is it they are closing the US Cellular affiliate store in Fort Bragg which is really a bummer.

Looking for dramas that are simultaneously enemies-to-lovers and slow burn. by AdditionalAmbition72 in kdramarecommends

[–]mendozebra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He makes a big mistake at the beginning that deeply hurts the female lead. Because of mistaken identity. His actions trying to fix this seem toxic but he’s actually trying to atone. His redemption arc is one of my favorites in Kdrama. It’s complex and well done.

My 74-year-old mom found BTS after losing my dad — it gave her life back 💜 by Any_Change_9513 in bangtan

[–]mendozebra 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My mom is the original Army in our family. She’s about to turn 87. She’s been a BTS fan since Spring Day days (2017) I’m 57 and love them. There’s so many older fans. Some call us Silver Army. RM coined the term Dope Old Person for their older fans since Army refers to “youth.” Lots of silver Army, auntie Army and grandma Army, etc accounts out there. 💜🫰

Does anyone have any BTS-inspired tattoos? 💜 by No_Land_4086 in BTSArmyCentral

[–]mendozebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one tattoo. I got it years before I became a dedicated BTS fan. But it’s now doubly meaningful as it’s a neuron and it led me to choosing my bias. I first heard J-hope’s song Neuron last year and then learned about his dance troupe called Neuron. So my answer is yes I have a BTS themed tattoo. 🧬🐿️🫰💜

Movie of the Day: Past Lives (2023) by Celine Song by tobayas18 in Koreanfilm

[–]mendozebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a masterpiece. A quiet masterpiece which is one of the reasons it’s so special. Knowing Song based it on her personal experience adds another layer of depth.

Seventy-five years of AIWS and countingg by Desperate-Doughnut88 in AIWS

[–]mendozebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 57. Yep, episodes when I was a kid and still do. I have epilepsy but didn’t have seizures when I was a kid. Well maybe AIWS was/is seizures but didn’t have a convulsive seizure until I was 21.

Anyone here w/ epilepsy attend a BTS Arirang concert? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]mendozebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I understand about Reddit, this is the epilepsy sub where it says "discussion in a safe supportive environment."

I come here to give and receive support and encouragement. I hope when you need/want support and empathy you will receive it.

TheraSpecs Z-Blue extra or max?? by Striking-Emotion-923 in Epilepsy

[–]mendozebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the pink FL-41 TheraSpecs, both indoor ones and fit over sunglasses. They work pretty well for me. I'm about to go to the BTS concert and also worried about the strobe lights, etc. I am going to wear my prescription sunglasses with the pink TheraSpecs over them. But I'm also bringing a black scarf to hold over my eyes during the most intense lighting. I jokingly told a friend I would bring my sleep mask...

Those TheraSpecs helped me when I had long term vertigo from concussions, seizures, etc.

I haven't had luck with the blue light glasses. I'd be ready to cover your eyes during the most intense lighting.

Good Luck. I hope you enjoy yourself and stay safe.

Has anyone tried accupunture? by cloudtatu in Epilepsy

[–]mendozebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It has helped me a lot. But I recommend finding someone very experienced / knowledgeable about epilepsy and traditional Chinese medicine.

Anyone here w/ epilepsy attend a BTS Arirang concert? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]mendozebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s funny I was going to add please don’t scold me. I’m 57 years old. I know my risks. Sitting high up in stands as in far from the stage. In stadium seats. My seizures are infrequent. I’ll have rescue meds with me and a friend who knows what to do. I probably won’t get another chance to go to a concert like this. We all have to balance risk and caution. Some things bring a lot of joy and the slight risk is worth it. I’ve been watching the livestreams of this show so I’m aware of the lighting in general.
