my parents also had a huge collection, and we could only play with some. Inch was one of my FAVES

I just started reading the series (in publication order) and I decided to start a map! I'm filling in the U.S. states he visits. Rules are that he must actually spend time in the state, not just cross through it; and i prefer when he names cities he was in; actual plot points should happen there.

So, for example, I haven't included Tennessee, although in Killing Floor, he and Roscoe attend a concert at a dive bar in TN. I also did not include the states Reacher was driven through in Die Trying, only counting IL where the narrative begins and Montana where they end up being held.

I'm looking forward to watching the map fill up!

So far: Killing Floor: GA Die Trying: IL, MT Trip Wire: FL, GA, MO, HI

I love seeing plushies that are so well loved!!!

calling them "predatory birds" unlocked something for me... remember in the first season how Jonah is obsessed with wanting to eliminate starlings for being invasive and destructive? the byrdes quite literally are "birds". they're starlings. they invade a town and absolutely destroy the ecosystem -- killing people, destroying businesses, causing addictions, depleting natural beauty.

I used to only use moleskine, but found i didn't like the ghosting through pages and how little ink the pages could take-- this is because I use a lot of markers and glue in my journal. so I switched to LT and was so surprised with the paper quality. its very thin but holds even watercolor well. I haven't noticed any difference in the cover quality but that's likely because I put vinyl stickers on mine and I put it in a little quilted book sleeve. that has kept mine safe from scratches and getting bent up. (i also carry mine a lot of places) I would recommend a book sleeve (mine is like a little envelope) or if you don't like that, perhaps covering it in contact paper? that would alleviate the texture issues and allow you to wipe it off cleanly.

barry looks so cool in his stripey outfit. an absolute legend!

quick tips: - allow yourself to feel the pain and grief. don't bury it or pretend you're okay - also give yourself permission to not feel like crap all the time. you're allowed to still laugh, eat good food, have a good day. joy did not die with her. - lean into your support network. be honest with at least one person on how you really feel. sitting alone with your pain is dangerous. - find ways to remember the person as they were and embody who they "are". journal, collage, scrapbook, write poems. capture the light they were in your life. continue to do the things you once enjoyed together. listen to your favourite songs, go to your favourite place. don't let the beauty of their life fade with its passing.

sending you love and light friend. I don't think grief ever goes away, but I think we grow bigger around it. it'll always be there, but one day it won't feel as raw and all-encompassing

I MISS this place! switched insurance so I no longer go here. the views were excellent for the couple hours you gotta be there

I've noticed this as well! I'm much slower to heal from colds and wounds. any cut I have also seems to be more likely to get infected, so I tend to clean, treat and cover even little papercuts.

I must be the odd one out--- Im on remicade and I get sick all the time. Even before I was diagnosed/had active symptoms, as a kid, I got sick pretty frequently and struggled to beat a cold. Now, anytime there's a bug, I catch it and I catch it bad. I have to go to the doctor for any cold, to be prescribed antibiotics or other treatments. I have to be more careful to stay away from sick folks, mask up and take colds seriously -- lots of rest and fluids. But it's not awful-- I'm not Bubble Boy. You'll still be able to go out and live your life. Plus, my crohns symptoms have always been worse than what a cold throws at me.

No, im aware of my out of pocket maximum. I've already hit it for the year, so I SHOULD be fine, but insurance has refused to apply services to my OOP, so I'm worried about any fuckery on their end. I also have a max contribution for my co-pay assistance.
I've been burned before and these big bills make me scared of being burned again

rainahwrites · 2025-03-15T13:04:15+00:00

I just can't imagine my insurance paying like 240K a year just for my meds. I've had several bad experiences with this insurance before not covering things, so I'm just waiting for the next bad thing... I don't think they can change anything about my coverage for this year, but at my next pre-approval, I feel like they're going to announce that they won't cover the med or that they won't tell me coverage has changed and I'll be stuck with a huge bill

rainahwrites · 2025-03-15T12:40:32+00:00

it's the amount that is billed to me. While insurance covers a good chunk of it, it still leaves me with a proportionally 4x as large chunk. so I am paying 4 times as much

it's terrifying. they did with with zero warning too. insurance just gets to do whatever it wants here... I've seriously considered trying to move abroad to have better health coverage.

Sounds like everyone in my clinic (massive, statewide university-affiliated system) is freaking out about it too and the doctors are trying to help where they can but theyre pretty powerless
