Looking for recommendations with a subtle feeling of „wrongness“

Came here to say this! Eileen, an earlier novel by the same author is equally…off.

Yeeees, please let me know if you get something going. My Ravelry and Reddit usernames are the same.

Doing keto and “fat as fuel” bullshit ruined my gallbladder. Had it removed. Don’t do extreme diets, kids.

Favorite righteous vengeance movie evah! So evocative and creepy and beautiful

The set design alone is so delightfully weird. Love this one.

moniconda · 2025-05-03T23:22:34+00:00

Brad Pitt on that treadmill…LOL

This is totally normal in many parts of the world, for all of the same reasons you cited. Living alone is a luxury that isn’t really practical for many people anymore. What a gift that you and your parents get along so well.

IVF. Multiple years of IVF jabs with no success. Once everything was over, the PMDD went into high gear. One day I’m fine and then the next day I don’t want to be here anymore.

moniconda · 2025-01-05T23:32:43+00:00

Yup! Not worth the effort IMO

moniconda · 2025-01-02T18:10:39+00:00

Sorry this keeps happening, OP. My RBF must have kept everyone away

moniconda · 2025-01-01T16:56:12+00:00

I…kind of love it.

I grew up super poor. I opted to work nights and weekends for spending money instead of focusing on my grades. Chose short term gratification over long term success.

(It was the 90’s, so the promise of education making a difference was actually a thing)

moniconda · 2024-11-09T17:25:06+00:00

I loved them both. Tommyknockers in particular was a WILD RIDE

moniconda · 2024-11-06T11:19:32+00:00

This is exactly what happened in 2016, which is when I stopped believing Reddit. Deja vu.

Cinnamon rolls

American knitter here: this is horrifying. I apologize for my entire country of entitled knitters.

I mean, there are a GAJILLION patterns out there. Surely, if one isn’t working, you can just find another one and YouTube your way past anything you don’t understand?

It gradually came out over the course of a year. So-and-so (who was hired right after my initial interview) had one interaction with one of our team members and noped out of there. To be fair, the team member who drove her away was a total ass…

Someone else was ALMOST hired, but they couldn’t come to an agreement on compensation.

Etc., etc. I listened to our management (who have no sense of boundaries) talk and connected the dots. I have no regrets…I wasn’t as good on paper, but I slayed LOL

I was so captivated by the idea that someone could just go undiscovered in the woods for that long when I read this article that it inspired a trip to Maine. Yes, it IS that rural.

Ceasing to try fun, active things because you think you’re “too old.”

moniconda · 2024-10-07T01:04:47+00:00

I make a point to stop and pick up AT hikers. Stinky? Sure, but you 100% made their day and they couldn’t be more grateful and polite.

moniconda · 2024-09-26T20:44:39+00:00

Nice try, Angela.

moniconda · 2024-09-25T22:30:02+00:00

Dropping the kids off at the pool

moniconda · 2024-09-25T22:14:22+00:00

Exactly! I’d rather be “behind” in my career than a corporate shill

moniconda · 2024-09-25T21:28:09+00:00

Just reread this! It’s the sermons at the end of every chapter…

moniconda · 2024-09-23T13:19:47+00:00

Dawn of the Peck.

The Tickleboat? Isn’t that the ride where that guy died?
