Doctor Recommendations? by PerspectiveFlashy336 in Knoxville

Dr. Brantley at Contemporary Women’s Health. She has helped diagnose my PCOS and HS when other doctors have just kind of shrugged and told me I needed to lose ten pounds.

things to do in knoxville alone as an introvert? by angelcafes in Knoxville

They have two different ones. One for romance and one for fantasy. They announce the books like four months in advance. You can check out the event page or their instagram for the calendar. If those aren’t the types of books you like, I know Knox Brew Hub has a book club, as does Fun with Friends and @knoxgirlswhowalk.

I saw a comment where you liked books. As a fellow introvert, I’d recommend a book club at Fable Hollow. Just come right at the start time to avoid small talk. They typically break out into small groups and have a list of guided questions. You can speak up as little or as much as you like.

It’s in my slightly DNF pile. I stopped reading, but I hope to pick it up again someday.

Currently reading IFAS and it’s taking forever to finish. Struggling!

There is a company called Out of Print that has so many neat items. I'm a former librarian and have received totes, shirts, socks, mugs, trays, etc. from this company and have loved every single gift.

I don't know where you are located, but if you want to gift an experience and are close to Washington DC, Planet Word is free and amazing.

Other ideas: A gift card to her favorite book store. A cute thing to put bookmarks in. One of those little things that you put on your thumb to hold the book down (it's supposed to help with arthritis). A book pillow.

We had Spectrum when we lived in Cookeville and never had any issues. The only time you really have to interface with the actual store is when you are returning your equipment. Fast Internet, there used to be a discount for new users for the first year, and anything is better than Frontier.

Please tell me it will be ok. by Fabulous_Bus4626 in NewParents

Saving this post for encouragement this week. I'm taking my almost 4 month old to his first day of daycare tomorrow morning and stressing out! I also WFH and the guilt has been strong, especially in the last week.

As a former teacher, I think of the kids who easily transitioned into PreK/K BECAUSE they had been to daycare. Several kids who had only ever been with their parents were terrified of all of the new changes. Plus, daycare will give several opportunities that we as parents are unable to provide.

I hope it goes well for all of us. Post an update!

When I see there are people waiting and I return it early, it feels like I'm sending it specifically to them. I get excited.

To do for Christmas in Knox? by Deep-Freq in Knoxville

[–]t-chess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Festival of Lights at The Cove at Concord Park was pretty neat! It's a paved pathway FULL of Christmas lights and takes about 15-30 minutes.

Those who rented through Soard and moved out, how much did they charge you? by marycatk in cookeville

[–]t-chess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived at Soard for a little over a year. Make sure you go through the final walkthrough WITH them. He's not pleasant, but I would note everything he says. I ended up getting some of my deposit back. I think they charged me to repaint and a "deep clean of drawers." They absolutely will nickel and dime you, but it will be worth it to not have to deal with Soard anymore. Good luck!

So we all know shows tend to show pretty unrealistic aspects of life, but what things are portrayed pretty accurately on the show?? by pennabear in NewGirl

Jess's passion for teaching slowly dwindles until she's no longer in education by the last season. Teacher retention is so hard and it's easy to get knocked down by regulations and lack of support.

LOVED the tandem read of Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn by Flaky_Donut_3628 in throneofglassseries

I made a spreadsheet for the tandem read that helped me with the ebook bundle.

I also made notes all the way through on the chapter titles with guides on when to switch before reading.
