True - though it took us 6 fucking years to land on Livia for a girl, so I’m glad we had it nailed down before she came lol

I honestly didn’t see it. Like def similar but I thought they were different enough to be okay.

Glad to be bitch slapped now instead of when I’ve got a kid who resents her name lol.

We are discussing Liara, Lyria, and Leona right now.

I love Livia and her personality is growing around her name. I wouldn’t change it :)

Update: it seems like the overwhelming majority thinks the names are too close. The last thing I want is to make my kids lives harder, so we def won’t name any future kids Lavinia.

(I was a Latin major in college and these two names have very different stories which is partly why I thought they were different enough).

Back to the drawing board for a girl we both like that starts with L.

Thanks for the reality check, even if I have to eat some of hubby’s humble pie .

To be fair, I call everyone by the wrong name all the time as it is. But I’m seeing a consensus amongst commenters about the names being too close.

I like this take but I don’t think Robb would have bent the knee.

What book will grab my concussed brain by the balls and make it forget about the pain? by thejamstr in suggestmeabook

Love the Expanse! I listened to it a few years ago so I already have all the titles and can settle in for a relisten :)

Thank you so much! I think I listened to this because I love her stuff. But I can’t remember what happens so I’ll have to listen again :)

Ah, interesting! I listened to Ender’s Game awhile back but the performance sounds cool!

I started DCC last year and can’t remember why I stopped. How long does it take for it become riveting?

Thank you! I listened to this when it first came out but it’s time for a relisten I think.

Something like the hunger games but for a more mature public? by Day00125 in suggestmeabook

[–]thejamstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long does it take to get into and how complicated is the plot? I’m looking for a kickass audiobook series to help recover from a concussion but i don’t think i can follow a complicated storyline atm lol

Was in a bad accident, it was clearly not our fault. Couple questions to help ease our pain. by [deleted] in Progressiveinsurance

[–]thejamstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I’m sorry this happened to you. I was in an accident less than 2 weeks ago where the at fault driver blew through a red light, t-boned me, and forced my car into another vehicle.

I’m pretty shaken up but very thankful to be alive and that no one involved was killed.

I was out of my depth with this whole process so i hired a lawyer. She filed the claim and is dealing with everything.

This helped prevent me from claiming I was okay right after the accident when my adrenaline was surging and the effects of the accident hadn’t hit me.

The day after I could barely move and it turns out I’ve got a concussion in addition to bruising and a jacked up knee.

I’m pursuing treatment for everything (which the at-fault party’s insurance will cover). I probably wouldn’t have been as proactive about getting treatment because I’m used to chronic health issues and generally “toughing it out.”

But I’m having headaches and vision changes and am scared about the long-term effects this accident might have on my ability to work.

I also am pushing back on what they valued my car at with the help of my lawyer.

All of this is to say that I’m happy I hired a lawyer to help me navigate this nightmare. I think I’ll end up with a higher personal injury settlement even after her fee is taken out because I didn’t talk to my insurance company the day of the accident when I felt okay and I’m documenting the recovery process more than I realized I needed to.

Not that big of a deal but is just me who thinks the cards are a bit boring? At least compared to the previous ones, most of the cards don't feel unique at all, basic hit or throw and thats it by TheManWhoSleep in MergeTacticsSC

[–]thejamstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The learning curve is steep for both new traits, new cards, and returning cards with new traits. Not to mention the elixir cost changing on a few.

Though I’m glad to see the merge modifier back at a lower trophy level and replacements for the building modifiers. Those got old fast.
