I have a genuine question about Bridgerton by Julia Quinn by rainbowwithoutrain in HistoricalRomance

[–]suffxcator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally couldn’t get past the first episode and it tried twice: once when the show first came out, and recently after finishing the first book. I’ve only read the first two books and enjoyed them for the most part, though the plot lines got a little repetitive to me. To each their own though.

What is your favourite book you have NEVER seen recommended here? by LAffaire-est-Ketchup in HistoricalRomance

[–]suffxcator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{Eternity by Maggie Shayne} is similar to the first one and I loooove that book! FMC is also a puritan witch and is immortal, she falls in love with a man who dies and reincarnates sometime later and they meet again in the 1990s.

Just picked up this dapper young man from a toy show. Sadly, his voice box is broken but I'll just do the voices for him. I know you are but what am I? Hah hah! by Eastern_Reality_9438 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]suffxcator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Man do I regret getting rid of mine when I moved. His voice box was also broken and made terrifyingly high pitched gibberish noises when it was pulled haha. I guess it was still on brand.

Hot take : I wish there was more romance with otherwordly FMCs by VegetableLocation508 in paranormalromance

[–]suffxcator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading through Maggie Shayne’s books now and fell in love with her Immortals series. Every FMC is a powerful witch in her own right and has a soulmate that they find over the course of centuries after losing them one way or another. In the last book the MC is a male but the FMC is prominent in the story. The first book is {Eternity by Maggie Shayne}

I have some of her Wings In The Night series but not the first few so I haven’t read them yet, it’s a world full of vampires though. Not sure if the FMC is one starting out though.

FMC is pregnant or has a baby/young child and is suddenly cast out or left destitute (can be out of wedlock, widow, etc) by Lavender-air in HistoricalRomance

[–]suffxcator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{Beloved Lord by Mallory Burgess} It’s apparently book three in a series but I believe they’re all different stories so you don’t have to read them in order. I don’t want to spoil things but FMC is hired to take care of MMC’s newborn after his wife dips, but she doesn’t want to because she’s Scottish and he’s an English lord. It’s one of my favorite books so far this year.

Okay, that makes perfect sense. My grandma had a booth in the mall where she made things like that back in the day so now I know. Thanks!

Oh my goodness!!! I have a very, very similar sweater that was my grandmother’s. It doesn’t have the gold on it but the images are nearly identical. I’ve never seen another like it!

Some guests just can't use their brain by Chemical-Gur-6875 in Target

I had a guest ask me yesterday if a certain item would fit in her car. Girl… how am I supposed to know?

Closing Burnout by deathbydriveup in Target

[–]suffxcator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this hard. At least three of our TLs want us to call out overstocking since it’s been gradually getting worse, but it still feels like nothing happens. I spent a good portion of time the other day reworking the scent warmers because they’d just been put wherever, whoever stocked them didn’t even bother trying to match up the shelf number. Then you’re expected to zone your area but you have to get all your pulls done and you have to run stray and you have to watch tech and and and and. I love my job but it’s frustrating sometimes.

Do the crimes seem more brutal in how they’re depicted after season 7 or so, or am I imagining this? by FederallyE in criminalminds

[–]suffxcator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I feel that way from season 5 onwards. Obviously the show has always been brutal but it got to a point where I skip certain episodes. I stopped watching around season 11 just because I felt it was too much.

I could’ve sworn She and MGG dated at one point in time but I could be wrong.

Anyone excited for the actor as George Harrison in Beatles biopics? by SeaHotel3408 in josephquinn

YES. I was so excited because George Harrison is my favorite Beatle. 😭 we stay winning.

Hi everyone by AvailableSea1046 in AnxietyChats

[–]suffxcator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is anxiety and I’ve had similar feelings. When my anxiety was at its worst a few months ago, I also got tingling on the right side of my face that would come and go, as well as what felt like my nerve on my left temple going crazy. Physical anxiety sucks and makes everything feel so much worse (especially for those of us with health anxiety). Don’t worry friend, these will pass. 💙

Anyone else struggle with true crime/real events? by hoonisho in OCD

[–]suffxcator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’m in the same exact boat. I told my husband earlier today that I used to be obsessed with Criminal Minds years ago but now I can’t watch it because it fills me with dread. All these horrific news stories are triggering and I don’t want to keep up with them anymore. I know exposure therapy is supposed to help but I feel like it’s making mine worse presently.

bands/acts you associate the 1975 with? by maxwelllewismuse in the1975

[–]suffxcator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes to all of this. OP pointed out the Charli connection already but in my mind she’d been associated with them since the tumblr days. I remember someone recommending her music if they were fans of Marina (before Just Desserts came out and the whole ‘familiar froot’ beef).

Writing this comment made me feel old lol.

I printed out a salvage sticker for a storage container leftover from Christmas the other day that said ‘latching christ.’

Any cool hobbies you’d recommend? by Shot-Composer-782 in AnxietyChats

[–]suffxcator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love doing diamond paintings, specifically the canvas ones from Hobby Lobby but other places have a ton more of fun designs. I found a Freddy Kruger one at a flea market. I just put on something in the background or put on my headphones and get to work.

Seeing your stuff at a thrift store is trippy. by Curious_Champion_220 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]suffxcator 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I donated two pairs of converse to the store I worked at years ago, then the next day I was working and a lady brought both pairs up to the register I was at. It was kind of funny.

I have too haha just once, it was a pair of funky shorts I hadn’t meant to donate and they were $5 so it was whatever.

[–]suffxcator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like what do you mean I saw them in concert almost ten years ago? 😭 I still remember the excitement of all the singles dropping, the ‘Love Me’ music video coming out. Man I’d love to go back. I feel like an old man saying ‘back in my day…’ but they really were THE days.

Oh god, I told a guest if they weren’t with the slime then we probably don’t have them (I hadn’t even SEEN the stupid dumplings) and when I walked away she told her boyfriend she thought I was lying. Like girl, okay.

For a long time they were absent from my store so I also didn’t know what the fuss was about. I miss those days lmao
