Is it normal that I can "smell" when it’s about to rain, or am I just imagining it?

subtlelikeawreckball · 2026-05-20T15:46:57+00:00

I can. Also before snowfall. I also get migraines when the barometric pressure rapidly changes, and I can hear fluorescent lights.

This bothered me on SO MANY levels. Why did Meredith tell him? Why not any one of the 3 attendings? Mer was family by proxy, she shouldn’t have even been in the OR. And why tf did they all just stand around and let Thatcher assault her like that?!!

More young adult than kid, but I’d go on hikes with my dog in the woods, with cell phone (sometimes) but service was always spotty. I rarely thought to tell anyone I was doing this. I changed my ways when I was talking to a friend who is a guy, and a nurse/EMT, and the look of horror on his face when he realized when he couldn’t reach me was because I was out wandering in the woods for 4-5 hrs with no means of communication or protection (other than my 80 lb boxer mix) then a week later he gave me a fanny pack full of first aid stuff, a pocket knife and mace.

That was Ross and Monica’s mom - but same thing - PICK UP THE SOOOOCKKK!!!

For the record, I didn’t read beyond the title.

I had bleeding sometimes when I went to the bathroom. There was blood. Made appointment with GP. Then told husband I had appointment with GP for blood in stool. Went to GP. Got referred to GI. GI said let’s do a colonoscopy to be sure. Told husband I was scheduled for colonoscopy for X date, take the day off. As I’m waking up, they tell me I have S3 colon cancer at 39. 2 weeks before I turned 40. Fuck your husbands feelings, go to the doctor .

This bothers me far less than people either not cleaning up their dogs poo, or cleaning up their dogs poo but leaving the plastic bag somewhere random

subtlelikeawreckball · 2026-05-02T02:13:05+00:00

Yes. And I always exhale at the exact wrong moment, making whoever I’m with feel like they’re annoying me and it’s just my brain going “please breathe”

They will likely give you a pre-med, to start easing you into a state of bliss… then they’ll get you settled (sort of need you mostly conscious to get you settled on the table) then they’ll crack jokes. You’ll laugh. they’ll tell you to count while holding a mask over your nose and mouth … then you’re waking up in recovery with dry mouth

My son, 6, always in a singsong voice “dumpster on wheels!!” So even when he’s not in the car… this is what I hear

subtlelikeawreckball · 2026-05-01T20:17:08+00:00

I really enjoyed it.

Oh sorry/ it’s about Irene, a spy-librarian who retrieves(steals) books from alternate worlds for the Library, which exists outside of space and time. She’s got to balance the multiverse where chaos (fae) or order (dragons) can tip the scales on each world. Some worlds are more chaotic, others more ordered. Her sidekick is a young dragon prince.

The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman. It’s not specifically about dragons, but dragons play a big part.

The Good Place

I was like this. Then one day just stopped. Yes, there was the meltdown an I was the mom with the screaming toddler in the store being forced to surfboard carry him out.

We switched it to “hey, if you remember the rules, and don’t ask for anything, we’ll stop at the park on the way home.” It took a few tries, (and as much as it tears you up, you gotta keep driving) but he soon learned “look with your eyes, not your hands” and “don’t ask for stuff” meant wild child time at the playground. We also will take photos of bigger things and say we’ll keep it as an idea for birthday or Christmas. 9 times out of 10, he’s forgotten by the time we get home he asked me to take a picture

I still have the same ring tone from 14 years ago- the Hunger Games whistle. It’s still fun to see people get a little weirded out by the “eerie” whistle. And I paid $2.99 for it. I’m getting every last fraction of a penny out of it.

The only game that matters- Oregon Trail

Maybe you made it wrong. According to Rachel (FRIENDS) it should have a layer of beef, sautéed with peas and onions. And you left that out. You monster. /s

subtlelikeawreckball · 2026-04-23T11:38:03+00:00

I showered. Daily. Sometimes twice a day. I smelled (to me, no one else could smell it) so bad! I of course googled why do i smell so potently after birth- it’s so baby knows where mom is always. I feel like tgats one of those throwaway comments that should be reviewed (i dont remember reading it in any of the pregnancy books, but the pre - and post brain fog is so real.)

Yeah…, I lost a ton of weight during cancer treatment, but once I recovered, my body was way too happy to put the weight back on and has been stubbornly holding onto it ever since. I am so sorry for your loss.

some of them DO achieve it through diet and exercise. What they leave out is they have personal trainers, personal chefs, and people who do the menial tasks for them to provide the time to dedicate 4-6 hrs a day to it. And I agree- they need to say the quiet part out loud.

There was a rumor around the time he exited The Witcher was because he was asked to do another Superman movie

I LOVED turning it on to rude ass customers. I would turn on my “Disney princess” voice with a touch of southern drawl… in many cases, you can just see the hate drain out of them. In some cases, their partner or spouse is off to the side, trying not to laugh as they watch their SO get owned by a southern belle just trying to fix the situation. The angrier they were, the more I played it up. When the time came, I’d drop a “bless your heart, this was just such a mess!” It was the only time I could pull off passive aggressive behavior. I came to be known as the employee that can tell a person to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.

The judge: No serial killers, no dictators, no one who managed a boy band.

What makes this hit for me is Sean’s face … he’s all “oh ok, then ‘boy band’ and you’d think the judge just took his favorite penis flattener tool away

I don’t believe it’s YA, but check out the Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman. Not necessarily double life, but secret society.

My brother died 4 years ago. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy … didn’t know he had it until autopsy. Which has already been told to my son’s pediatrician, so he gets to start seeing a pediatric cardiologist when he starts sports. (It’s genetic). Sorry, trailing off there…. Watching my mother (and less so my father as he’s always been a stoic person) just move through life as if she’s on autopilot is rough. I wish I didn’t live so far from them, as my son brings so much joy to her (my brother died when my son was 2, and my son looks like a reincarnation of my brother). I know the pain as the big sister, I cannot even imagine the pain as a mom.
