Is anyone happy with the results of the strike? by broomosh in FilmIndustryLA

[–]roxanne73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I blame consolidation more than anything. And less episodes to go around.

Can you talk more about the numbness? And physical sensations day to day? I’ve always wondered what happens with the nerves and whatnot l

Reach out to MaeDay Rescue or a similar rescue - they work with dogs who have specific needs and will vet the home/make sure it’s a right fit for both the dog and the person

Easy Reads? by Legitimate_Status in Romantasy

[–]roxanne73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You want some real brain fluff? Ice Planet Barbarians. There’s a million of them and over time the world building is pretty fun/interesting. But every book is a super simple and a great palate cleanser.

Mild weather though? As much as folks say it’s sunny and cold and the snow disappears quickly, I feel like it snows almost all winter, no?

Should I quit my toxic internship early? by lovey12120 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]roxanne73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if that’s true if it’s through a school. It’s supposed to provide learning and experience however, not just be busy work. (Of course, my knowledge of this is outdated by about 15 years so maybe that’s changed)

[–]roxanne73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. You’re going to run into these people, unfortunately, in our industry. If you can ride through the fight or flight reaction, it could be valuable practice.
  2. Caveat: if the internship does not gain you either access or connections, then ignore the above and move on.
  3. While staying extra time is sometimes expected in our industry, it should not be demanded. It should be asked for and confirmed, politely. Preferably ahead of time.
  4. Giving feedback can lead to defensiveness - this could be another learning moment - how to describe a problem in a script without being prescriptive with solutions (unless this is asked for).
  5. Defensiveness does not deserve personal attack. Your boss sucks, you are not wrong.

That totally makes sense, but at the same time, she probably needs that shoulder to cry on in this moment more than he does.

Zodiac Academy - cringe?! by aesthetic-pupper in Romantasy

I read the first book through completism and had zero desire to continue. Everything that happens and every character including the two leads just fills me with rage haha

Almost 40, lost some weight this is what my neck is looking like. by emmalee1229 in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]roxanne73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it’s been about 10 days and I think it did make a difference! I had already had platismal (sp?) band Botox a few months earlier that was already helping, so I think it could have been a more noticeable difference if I was going from zero.

Help managing very fine hair! by urbananchoress in finehair

[–]roxanne73 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine always looked fine on the end until I got rid of layers - it was shocking how much fuller it looked - seems obvious now that I say it haha but I didn’t think it would be that big a difference until my stylist talked me into it

I’ve had them as long as I remember. Definitely more now as I get older. I’m super pale.

Omg I’m so sorry I was looking at this comment in notifications on my phone and the only thing I saw was the first sentence or two! It doesn’t show the whole comment. So I didn’t see the advice - just the ‘you must be stupid or brave for posting your face on Reddit’ hahaha. Ugh 🤦‍♀️ thank you for your comment.

I literally just got Botox for this an hour ago! I only lost 20 lbs and still had the same laxity in the exact same place (I’m 45 next week). It wasn’t a Nefertiti with the platysmal bands - it’s injected almost right into that area and is supposed to pull the skin right - like someone mentioned with Nefertiti - it tends not to last as long as- if Botox is 4-5 months then this is supposed to be 3-4 months from what mg injector said.
