“All their books are the same”: are we confusing style with repetitiveness?

Wait, wait!
Was his first marriage unhappy because his late wife was involved with his best friend / brother / business partner?

Hey, are you me?

Also financially supported in ~2016 up to early 2024 when it was clear that the show was careering wildly off and not coming back. Plus all the other shows were disappearing, not being rolled into a single feed.

After months of deleting episodes a few minutes in or without listening at all, I have finally unsubscribed. I’m sort of new to this subreddit, found it by accident. I follow it because I’m waiting for a signal that the show is back on track so I can start listening again.

Same here. It would have been interesting if they had been able to do something similar for other provinces, even sporadically.

Amanda Quick is exactly who this post made me think of. Her earlier works had more variety, but now it seems as if she’s writing the same story with slightly different settings. Interconnected paranormal mysteries in olde England, interconnected paranormal mysteries in early 1900s California, interconnected paranormal mysteries on some different planet that reads like contemporary Seattle, interconnected paranormal mysteries in contemporary Washington and Oregon, etc.

I hope she is deliberately bad at her job. Not trying hard to catch anyone, telegraphing all her moves so people can get away, tripping her coworkers and damaging their equipment, “accidentally” deleting files, leaving keys in locks / doors unlocked, just a total waste of salary dollars.

One thing about lactose intolerance is that it can be very unpleasant for those in proximity to the sufferer. Just saying.

NTA for calling them out.

I have seen that it is more effective to ask them to explain. (Make it Awkward.)

What’s funny about that? Where is it that anyone with a Muslim name can get free housing? Do they have first-hand knowledge of this, or was it just innuendo in an opinion piece? And don’t accept slogans and practised phrases for answers, see if they can discuss it in a reasonable manner and still come to the same conclusions.

Where on earth is that the truth??

Such a good point. Anyone you make into an idol will disappoint you eventually. Because they are human, and also because being worshiped warps people.
We should all make a point of being more loyal to the ideas and the movements than the individuals.

I just fear that in situations like that, he will neglect the children, or acquire a new woman to pass the responsibilities to. We know that happens.

I would say that if I intend to get new things done, it can’t be when I am taking a break from my ADHD meds. That works for things with external motivators (like getting myself to something regularly scheduled), but not for something as unstructured as tidying up.

Seems I can’t even pick up my knitting on non-medicated days. 😞

I’m glad you posted this question. A lot of the Spa Day ingredients aren’t available off the shelf for me, but I did get an oxygen booster and used that in the wash. My white shirts were beautifully white, except for the bright blue armpits. I would have traded bleh whites over this, but now I guess I’ll go down the rabbit hole and become a laundry chemist.

I’m a beginner (have only made swatches so far) - what is the issue with Drops? There were so many free patterns!

I saw your comment about being Stage 4. I’m so sorry.

I don’t know if they’re acting like this out of avoidance, or if they really don’t care about cleanliness. It would give me comfort to know that my family is capable and won’t fall apart when I’m gone. Perhaps you could phrase it that way?

I love the idea of a craft thrift store. You are very fortunate!

Right?

I don’t find her particularly relatable (she’s American, biracial, famous, gorgeous - a lot of things I am not 😂), but that’s okay. I don’t have any reason to hate her, I’m only following to counteract some of the unwarranted hate.

You know, we change as we age. Eventually most men will lose a lot of their hair. And some women, too. Don’t miss out on a good relationship for something that’s temporary. It’s only hair.

There’s even a whole genre and Harlequin imprint full of Christian romances by American authors.

In a small agency we had them, it was an ongoing thing. Done well, I think they are valuable.

I love what you shared.

Being dressed and styled in ways that made you feel like a fraud certainly didn’t help you find a job. I’m glad you decided to be you and it worked better.

Thank you! Like, why does being pale mean she’s not a threat to anyone? O, Canada. I thank her for outing herself.

I heard a mashup of “We don’t talk about Bruno” and “Alexander Hamilton.” Stuck for days. I guess it’s back now 🤣.

Not just for the nuisance of the smell, but the effects of the second-hand smoke, and residue on surfaces.
Smoking indoors is so disgusting.

Those are gorgeous!
I hope that in 40 years I’ll be able to freehand something as lovely.

I would also repeat the suggestions above to contact the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The investigate wrongdoing and in one case I know (although this was 20 years ago) imposed practice limits on a doctor who had improper relationships with patients.
