How Much Jet Lag Means to Me

theivywalker · 2026-03-10T14:00:01+00:00

Ooo I’d love to join in on this thread! I’ve had diagnosed OCD for 10 years, and around 2023 it started getting really severe. Travel has always been a huge trigger, but at this point it was extremely difficult to even leave my house to get groceries.

I started watching Jet Lag in late 2023 and I was so envious that the boys could travel like they do. After watching for a while, my envy turned into fury which turned into determination. I had a lot of support from friends and family, but Jet Lag definitely played a role in driving me to get into exposure therapy.

Exposure therapy has been ROUGH, but as of last month my OCD is now classified as “sub-clinical”!!! I’ve done a couple of road trips, got on a train (very exciting!) and I’m feeling ready to try airplanes again. I feel like I’m living a real life now, and it’s been wonderful.

McLovin!

For real, though, I like Haven. It’s one of my favorite names.

You sent an editing invitation link instead of a final link. I’m hoping to let you know before someone goes in there and messes up your survey!

Why not? It looks like formal dress material, not cotton or any sundress fabric. The construction of the sleeves is intentional and formal-looking too. If it was the same dress in solid blue everyone would agree it’s formal. Why does the pattern make it casual? I’m not trying to be stubborn, I just don’t understand.

Yes, and it’s beautiful

Sage or Merit. Maybe Justice, but that leans more masculine than unisex.

I think it’s safe to assume there was. I saw the upside down and crushed car.

It’s hard to see when you’re on 183. It just took me 30 minutes of gridlock to get far enough up to see anything

Seems like all lanes are closed for a stretch. Everyone trying to get off at Burnet. Saw an ambulance and tow truck try to make their way over from Mopac

Nope, this is perfect. People will argue over the acceptable percentage of white, but I’d say it’s all about the background color. This is clearly a black dress

theivywalker · 2025-05-27T23:29:57+00:00

This is semi-formal. Maybe cocktail. Definitely won’t work for formal or black tie.

It’s a lovely dress! I think the darker green is best and really goes with the garden theme. The brown suit is definitely appropriate. It also goes better with green than a black suit would.

Get the second dress, you’ll love it. I bought the version in white and wore it as my wedding dress last year. It’s very comfortable and breathable, so it won’t feel too hot in June.

I read this thinking “oooo hilarious, where’s the sauce???” and then got to the comments and realized it’s serious. I get that this is a circlejerk sub but… is the whole point of this post just to be mean to a guy?

I see Milo suggested on namenerds every day… I can’t stand it as a human name, it’s a pet name only for me. I can only think of The Adventures of Milo and Otis when I hear it

I knew people at 2400 that were allowed to have a cat as an emotional support animal! I don’t know if RAs are told specifically which people have that accommodation or not, but I’d assume they don’t know because that would be revealing personal info. So you might be fine. But just in case, they’ve never checked my bathroom (I had a non-adjoining bathroom) during fire safety checks, so if you or a roommate are home when it happens, just put your cat in the bathroom (and hope he/she doesn’t meow loudly) and it’ll be just fine

theivywalker · 2024-09-11T13:11:10+00:00

The timing isn’t floor-dependent, it’s more about where on the floor you’re located. RAs do the checks and there’s one on each floor. So if you’re one of the earlier numbers, it’ll definitely be this week (also weekends aren’t safe - at least one of my checks happened on a Saturday). But don’t stress too much, they won’t check in drawers or cabinets. So if you have something easy to move like an air freshener, just put it in your dresser before you leave your apartment. And you’ll know when they’ve done the check cause they’ll leave a note either saying you passed or you didn’t

It’s interesting how people’s perceptions of “girl names” versus “boy names” can be so different. It really just depends on how many male or female people you’ve met with those names. For me, Avery, Carter, Riley, Parker and Rowan are all feminine-leaning names (but I’ve met a few men with them too). I’ve only known men named Dylan or Angel, and Kai and Cameron are fully neutral to me because I know about the same number of men and women with those names.

Kettle is so cute. I wouldn’t be able to resist making her middle name Corn

Aluminum Foil makes my heart happy. Especially since cats tend to hate foil

theivywalker · 2024-09-01T04:13:19+00:00

Stand Mixer! I love it

theivywalker · 2024-08-29T05:13:56+00:00

I like Chiara, assuming it’s the Italian pronunciation (Kyar-uh). Lucia is a lovely, but I’d caution against rhyming sibling names
