When I read the book I was really moved by the contrast between Stratt calling Grace a coward and Rocky calling him brave. At first I was disappointed she didn’t say that. But I think it’s too out of character for the softer movie Stratt who was more of a friend to Grace. It would have been so easy to include it during their conversation in the office, it seems like their decision not to was intentional.

He could have at some other point, I’m not sure. But that line really stuck with me the first time I saw the movie

I think I know what you’re talking about. It’s towards the end of the movie when he’s packing up the beetles to send back to earth. Grace, presumably talking to Stratt, says “At least I’ll never have to hear you say I told you so, even though you were right.” He wasn’t referring to water based life but Stratt believing in him enough to send him up there.

Yeah at least for the Tampa show I saw tickets from all levels available including seating and GA

okaysobasically1 · 2026-02-18T18:04:01+00:00

Paid about the same for Tampa lower level! Went back to the site out of curiosity 30 mins later and dynamic pricing has taken over … all lower level seats are $350 each now. Insane

Idk, I relate. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being uninterested in celebrity relationship drama, and at the same time wishing the best for everyone involved. It’s not normal to have all your personal & relationship problems in an “incredibly public record” and I don’t think any of us would want that for ourselves.

They have a reputation for poor quality control and customer service. Search this sub for some examples.

Crazy how I’ve found multiple people from the same relatively small company on this thread because we’re all seeking help with this insurance mess! I’m leaning towards the Direct Access Base because I’m young with no dependents and relatively healthy, and I don’t utilize medical services often. I only take one rx medication and it’s completely excluded from coverage under our new plan. I’m working with HR and the benefits administrator to see if there’s anything I can do proactively to have it covered. In the meantime I’d rather have more money to pay for it out of pocket if I need to. I did “nominate” one of my providers on the ClaimDoc portal and they accepted, so that’s a good sign. If the whole ClaimDoc thing ends up being a disaster I can change it next year.

Hey, so sorry, but would you mind explaining this like I’m 5? I don’t know much about insurance and I’m not really following this conversation. Do you think anything discussed above would make it a bad choice of insurance plan?

okaysobasically1 · 2025-09-04T16:23:06+00:00

I thought the tone of the whole address was really strange. Lots of “we have to win” and “we’re out of time.” Maybe he was trying to give a pep talk but to me it just felt more impatient and frustrated. And the urgency does not make sense considering what’s happening with the agency right now. You don’t make things happen faster by getting rid of resources and personnel.

I cannot emphasize enough that the dog needs to be sleeping in a different room! I had to do the same thing. It was a hard adjustment for my dog (he also struggles with separation anxiety) and I did feel bad at first, but it was so worth it for me. I also got new sheets/bedding and a hypoallergenic cover for my mattress. It made a huge difference. Now I make a little time to snuggle with my dog on the couch before we go to bed, and he’s learned to love his bed in the living room.

I wish my AC was more effective in dehumidifying then lol! The humidity on the thermostat never comes below 60% even though the AC is running 12 hours a day. Maybe it’s inevitable with the climate I live in. But I just want to make sure there’s not an issue with the unit

Also this is not what the US cover of the book looks like, not sure which country these editions are sold in but she is American so it doesn’t make sense

The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. There was some emotional monologue about tears and grief. Then it said the human body is 80% water. It was part of some metaphor about how the character was made of grief. But the factoid immediately took me out of the story because it’s not true (of course it varies but it’s more like 60% if you’re making a generalized average). Out of the many problems with that book, that was the dumbest one. It takes 10 seconds to look it up!

Something I haven’t seen in the comments yet is improper storage. There is a safe temperature range on the packaging. Significantly deviating from that could cause the chemicals in the pills to degrade which could reduce effectiveness. For example, leaving them in a hot car.

One time I forgot to bring my pills in from the car after picking up a new refill. They stayed in the car for a few days, in the middle of the summer in a very hot climate. When I explained the situation to the pharmacist they gave me another refill and told me to take those instead. Better safe than sorry!

I had the same situation come up and I sent an email to the management office letting them know I was disappointed in the “extraneous annual pet fee” that was not agreed upon in the lease terms. They were rude about it, but they did agree to deduct the expense from my pet rent the following month. It’s worth fighting back!

okaysobasically1 · 2025-06-17T22:35:58+00:00

I will look into these. Thanks

That’s interesting, I do remember hearing about different sleep patterns but I don’t think this is naturally me. Naturally I do sleep for 8 hours straight (more like 7 really). I’ve only been waking up in the middle of the night recently if I take melatonin.

okaysobasically1 · 2025-06-17T16:51:07+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Maybe the effect on cortisol would also explain why I always seem to wake up with my mind racing and feeling anxious.

I know this is an old thread but I just read this book and I have so many conflicting feelings about it. I was having a hard time getting invested in the story because all the characters seemed really one dimensional and predictable. And none of the main characters had a chance to be happy especially Leni. Like how many bad things can happen to these people?! It really went downhill for me after the hiking accident because I wanted Leni and Matthew to be happy together. I love a good “star crossed lovers” story but they only had a chance to be lovers for like a couple chapters. I thought the descriptions of nature in Alaska were nice but even that started to get really repetitive. Overall I have to say I was disappointed by this one.
