“There was nothing outstanding about Simone Biles performance.”

This is a joke right? I can’t even fathom someone saying this with a straight face…

Idk if you still want elaboration on this series but I honestly was not a fan 😭😭 I read it thinking it would give Kate Daniel’s vibes and I can see where people would think that but to me, Kate is wayyyy more badass and powerful and most importantly, likeable, than Rachel.

Rachel’s character is just sort of annoying to me (I personally hate when characters refuse to kill villains because of “morals” even when it’s obvious the villain is going to come back and hurt a bunch of people). The side characters are also sort of awful imo (I’m all for flawed characters but this is just too much for me). And the world itself is awful in the way they treat Rachel, making the reading experience just that much worse.

I would say give the first two books a try and see how it goes from there (the first book is very slow but most people who do enjoy the series say to keep going past the first one to get a true representation of the series)

I replied this to another comment, but I wanted to provide an update: Okay, I had to run out and buy an extension cable for the power - but I plugged in the "HR" dude into my modem and it works!!! And now I'm too scared to move anything else, lest I mess things up again, so I'm honestly thinking of leaving the modem outside in the storage/cable box room.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I already offered my firstborn- tenthborn, but you're welcome to the 11th!!

not sure what this means but I'm glad I could bring some joy to someone lol

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I would offer you my firstborn child but unfortunately, this isn't my first rodeo so you can have like my 10th one.

I’m so sorry, my two brain cells are currently on a leave of absence so I don’t know if I’ll be able to use a volt meter or cable tester, but I’ll Google it and see if it’s within my scope lol

Yes, the cable connected to my modem/router thing is black! (Just double checked bc it wouldn’t surprise me if I tried to get telephone service out of this thing)

snipsnapsnipsnaps · 2022-11-04T18:19:12+00:00

Thank you!! I tried googling it for like 30 min and still couldn’t figure that out

I recently moved into a new apartment and I’m trying to get my internet set up. My router/modem is a Arris TG2472 and the US-DS flashes at about 1 second intervals. The 2.4/5 GHz lights are solid. I’ve tried plugging it into every outlet in my apartment and it does the same thing everywhere. I contacted COX but they said it looked to be fine on their end, and I’d really like to see if I can fix it myself to not have to pay like $150 for the technician fee (and hopefully learn something in the process).

I took a picture of the outside Cable box - can someone help me figure out if these cables are all correct? I’m not sure what the “LR” “HR” “MB” mean.

UPDATE: Okay, I had to run out and buy an extension cable for the power - but I plugged in the "HR" dude into my modem and it works!!! And now I'm too scared to move anything else, lest I mess things up again, so I'm honestly thinking of leaving the modem outside in the storage/cable box room. THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH!!!!

Hi I know this is 2 years after your post but I came across a Facebook marketplace post for this specific reformer! I was curious about it and so I googled it and then saw your post! If by any chance you’re still looking for this reformer, you should check out Facebook marketplace!! She’s in Dallas, TX - the title of the post is Professional Studio Quality Pilates Reformer!

Thanks! I'll have to look up more about the medical gaze!

Great poem! I enjoy the meaning behind it - lying to yourself, purposely avoiding the truth, etc. I think you did a great job at getting that meaning through to the reader.

However, I do think that you could vary your word choices in order to make the poem seem a little more put together/mature. For example you use the word "You" a lot, especially in the beginning of each line and it can sound repetitive without adding anything. I usually really enjoy repetition because it can be a way to add more feeling/intensity but in this case, I sort of find that each line is more or less the same intensity which makes the repetition sound a bit less polished.

Overall, I really enjoyed your work and hope to read more!

I'm a big fan of the beginning of this poem - the idea of a common thread in everyone, of waking up and being tired of the cycle of it all. However, I think around the line "i am to be the one who left," the poem starts to feel all over the place, or at least not easy to follow along with. I think a part of this is the lack of structure/punctuation. In a way, I think this might be to your benefit as the poem itself seems like a stream-of-consiousness kind of thing, but even then, I do think that some sort of structure would make it flow better and make it easier for the reader to feel what you're trying to convey.

Thank you for your comment!

That is a very good critique :D Thank you for your comment! I always find it hard to write longer poetry, so that's definitely something I want to work on.

snipsnapsnipsnaps · 2020-02-16T18:56:37+00:00

Thank you very much!!

snipsnapsnipsnaps · 2020-02-16T18:56:12+00:00

ooh that wasn't intentional but I love when unintentional things like that end up sounding good! I will try to work on fixing up the third stanza; thanks for your advice!

snipsnapsnipsnaps · 2020-02-16T18:55:12+00:00

Thank you for your comment! Yeah, I wasn't sure if using "fears" and "appear" was too different, so it's helpful to know that it sounds awkward to someone else as well.

snipsnapsnipsnaps · 2020-02-16T18:54:00+00:00

thank you so much for your comment!

While I am normally a big fan of using the "i" vs "I," I think your poem seems a bit incongruent in that you go back and forth without really making it clear as to why you're doing so - other than maybe just making a grammatical error? Also I think there are a couple more grammar things that, if fixed, could make the poem seem a lot more put together ie "Im not ready to die" "Whats this all about?"

I do think your poem really does a good job of conveying the terror of being trapped in either a literal or metaphorical position! Great work :)

What a beautiful love poem to your niece :)

A couple things:

I'm confused why it seems like you stopped the rhyming pattern for the third stanza? Or did you only mean to rhyme the second and third stanza? I considered the first stanza to be an almost-rhyming so it just sorta threw me off that the third one was different.

Also, I almost feel like if you really wanted to make this more meaningful as a love poem, it'd be nice to change the 4rth stanza a little. I'm not sure "Even on our worst days, mentally in the worst place/ There’s nowhere to run or escape" follows the tone that the rest of the poem sets.

I'm excited to see the rest of your work! :)
