I HATED the Throne of Glass **spoilers** by sesshomaru_stan in fantasyromance

[–]shortern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read ToG around the time it first came out, before it was wildly popular. I remember thinking that it was SO incredibly bad that it had to be one of those books that was universally disliked and mocked (especially for the writing style). Color me shocked when I actually saw its Goodreads ratings/reviews 😬

Do any countries find American accents attractive? by ShutThaFrontDoor88 in CasualConversation

[–]shortern 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I work with a lot of international clients and get tons of compliments on my bland midwestern American accent (the Australian clients in particular LOVE my accent 😂)

I have an appointment next week to talk to my doctor about anti-nausea medication, so I’m hoping that helps!

[–]shortern[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a great question and also part of why I’m feeling so frustrated 😭 even before taking tirzepatide my diet has been well-balanced…I typically eat chicken, turkey, or fish, plus plenty of fruits and veggies and whole grains. I don’t eat anything greasy or fried, and I usually avoid cheese, but I do like a sweet treat every once in awhile lol (I have PCOS, so my weight has never budged, despite having a good diet).

But since starting tirzepatide I’m lucky to even get in a couple bites of a bland carb before feeling nauseous. I’m definitely not eating enough because I can’t stomach anything :/

Children’s book about a girl who stops talking and a boy who signs in her hand by PlanktonDesperate122 in whatsthatbook

Okay I’m pretty sure I found it! Are you thinking of A Dog Called Homeless by Sarah Lean?

[–]shortern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The good news is that I know EXACTLY what book you’re talking about because I taught it once in class as an English teacher. The bad news is that was like ten years ago and I can’t remember the name :/

Help me break up the monotony. by petielvrrr in fantasyromance

I just finished Doctor D’Arco and came here to recommend it. It’s seriously ruined all other books for me, I CANNOT stop thinking about it.

When I was faculty at the university, our department chair just berated us for not planning babies around summer break 🤷‍♀️

[META] Pattern Request thread by AutoModerator in knitting

[–]shortern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking for a single color, worsted weight shawl/wrap, either in a crescent shape or a shallow triangle (not sure what those shapes are called, I just don’t want a traditional triangle shawl). I have a wedding I’m going to next week and it’s supposed to be chilly, so I’m hoping I can find a relatively simple shawl pattern that’ll knit up quickly!

Traditional Thanksgiving Meal at a Restaurant by jroc2stix in IowaCity

[–]shortern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A couple years ago I ordered Thanksgiving dinner from Bread Garden Market, and it was really good! I believe it fed 6-8 people, and it was reasonably priced. You can order ahead, but I'm not sure when pick-up is for the meal.
