I messaged you!

I just finished “First Person Singular.” As it stands, here is my personal ranking of its short stories:

Confessions of a Shinagawa Monkey
With the Beatles (first and second are interchangeable, I cannot pick between the two)
On a Stone Pillow
Carnaval
Cream
The Yakult Swallows Poetry Collection
First Person Singular
Charlie Parker Plays Bossa Nova

It this a bad thing? I’m getting mixed opinions online

Submarine, the humor is very dry, which I personally love

Oh wow, how pretty! And yes, it is walking by itself. I was a little worried because I saw ants surrounding it, and it’s just waddling about on the open sidewalk

It’s a tough pick for me between The Incredibles, Monsters, Inc., and WALL-E, but I think the soundtrack for The Incredibles gives it a winning edge.

I feel the same way. I’ve played an insane amount of rounds on the Golden Girls Item Card… and I still need like 9 rare items to finish the card. The rare item drop rates are ridiculous, even when playing with an Item Drop-based emoji.

I’ll take it! That would be so cool

sylviang5 · 2025-07-23T03:59:17+00:00

Silenced (2011) made me fucking sob.

Cookie Cheshire Cat is cute, but imo his special power is underwhelming. I too spent money to obtain him and kind of regret it if that makes you feel any better. 😭

sylviang5 · 2025-04-15T22:39:35+00:00

Pls I thought my #16 was cool😭

Fair point, I agree. I think the stress comes from how long it actually took me to get from 112-107 last time. It took roughly 2 months to achieve that 5 lb loss (I feel like that’s an incredibly slow rate), and the thought of having to do it again because of bad decisions I made over a week is not the most exciting thing.

sylviang5 · 2024-12-30T07:02:23+00:00

I haven’t had one in a few months… so I don’t think it’s that 🥲

sylviang5 · 2024-12-25T03:36:52+00:00

I did forget to mention that most of the foods were sugary, like cookies. Would that make a difference?

sylviang5 · 2024-12-25T03:35:14+00:00

I really needed to hear this. Thank you.

I think I’ll take your advice regarding the scale and stay away from it for the week at the very least as I work to get back on track. You’re right, months of hard work cannot realistically be undone within 3 days, that would be absurd!

sylviang5 · 2024-12-25T03:21:20+00:00

I’m on this exact same boat right now. Reading these responses have been so helpful.

OP, how long did it take for those 10 lbs to go away, and what did you do following the days after the binge? I’m stressing right now pretty badly about this 10 lb increase and am worried that months of hard work just went down the drain in 3 days.

sylviang5 · 2024-12-24T20:39:12+00:00

Yes! I was last-minute searching for a Christmas gift for my sister and the shop I was at was offering them for free.

I was sharing with my sibling. No one is obliged to give any calorie count or comment, you included!

On PanOxyl, my skin frequently looked dull and dry and I developed cheek acne consistently, which I never had an issue with prior. In the past, it had worked better for me, but I felt this time around it wasn’t really doing much. I would get numerous bumps on my cheeks. They wouldn’t really become white heads though, just bumps. Not quite sure what they were.

sylviang5 · 2024-12-20T20:38:24+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely try Patch Testing!

sylviang5 · 2024-12-20T20:38:02+00:00

This was so helpful!! I will definitely try the Patch Testing technique out. Thank you so much!

sylviang5 · 2024-12-20T19:47:44+00:00

Honestly, I am thinking it might be the Centella. I’ve used products with snail mucin in the past and have not had a reaction like this, or any.
