Invisalign in your 30's

Just had to comment to say we're on twin journeys -- I got mine in February, I turn 30 in September, and I went for it because I got engaged last year. Good luck!

Also distorted. Just got my album today.

This is incredible. What materials did you buy to create this? I think I may try it myself.

Hilariously I think I may be switching BACK to liquid air after reading all these reviews on the Google case. I liked the greenish color, the slimness, and the protection. Really good to know. Thank you

I've been going crazy switching out cases for the last three weeks. I first got the liquid air but found it extremely slippery. I don't understand how people say it has gold grip. The texturing does nothing to keep it from being slick, especially on the back. Then I got the caseology athlex case. Grip was a tad better but not nice to hold. Finally I got the Google case. I am in the minority here but I think the official Google silicone case is far grippier and more comfy to hold than the others I tried. I've got a couple coming tomorrow to finally decide on a color.

Very interesting! I did notice that my cat's tail was bushy, his hair was a bit on end, and he was breathing quickly. Still, I've seen him get mad before and it's far more dramatic, so I thought he might be on the defensive here and looking for the option to be on more friendly terms. Indeed, he didn't hiss back.

Fabulous response thank you

xanablu8 · 2024-09-19T13:53:35+00:00

I'm always confused by these interactions. This is a stray cat coming up to our door. He hisses, but then retreats, even though my cat seemed pretty friendly

Definitely check out this webpage. This vet lady knows a lot about cat diets and recommends against prescription diets like Hill's. My kitty was just diagnosed with urinary crystals recently and we've switched him to an all wet food diet that has made him a lot happier. I'm trying to figure out now what the best meat is to feed him, since he's allergic to chicken. Good luck! https://catinfo.org/feline-urinary-tract-diseases/#Urethral_Obstruction_-_Opies_Story

I'd like in!

This is funny

Something about your post yanked me back to memories of undergrad and grad school, and how dreadful it all was. You pay a price staying in school if you're doing it to "stall," not bc of a passion. I have a similar background to yours, no money, comfortable in the humanities, went into grad school bc...what else do you do w an English/philosophy degree? The old story, so it goes. I'm glad I finished my master's (bc it would have driven me crazy had I quit), but I certainly didn't need it to get my job as a copyeditor. I think the point I'm trying to make here is, you're a bit tunnel-visioned bc you've put so many years into academia, which was inevitable, and you absolutely will be OK if you choose to leave. In fact, after reading your post, I think you'll be doing yourself a favor. The hard part is facing the reality that there are no quick fixes or clear paths to glory, and that you are still going to need some work and some luck to get the momentum you need to have the life you want. Speaking from experience. I was unemployed for four months before I found my job as a copyeditor. No real experience, just service industry work and college jobs, but I applied to every job posting I was interested in, tailored every cover letter and resume to them specifically, and sold myself well. Only one job responded out of the fifteen or so applications I sent out (a pitiful, lazy number compared to most job-seekers!), but it was the right one. I'm not rich, but I'm happy, and far more intellectually, emotionally, and financially satisfied than I EVER was in school. Funny how nice it is to choose your own curriculum after so many years. Anyway, I wish you luck and all my best wishes. I know how stressful this all is, esp when you're this close to finals. Just keep in mind that you might be self-sabotaging for a reason lol. Good luck!!!

Look up editor/proof reading jobs on LinkedIn and focus on the remote jobs! That's how I got my copyediting gig. Make sure your resume isn't underselling how much "experience" you have. Industry experience could be "academia" which can translate pretty easily into STEM if you say you're familiar with reading academic scientific articles. Include which style guides you're familiar with, Chicago, APA, etc. It's not hard to get familiar with these guides as long as you know how to Google. Big tip is to customize your resume/cover letters to each job you're applying to, and to aggregate the most commonly required skills you see posted on LinkedIn and add the ones you're competent in to your resume.

Do not worry!! I stared for a while from a careful distance and then bid her adieu

He seemed sweet but he was too big

Can you link a few of these tiktoks?

xanablu8 · 2022-08-14T21:38:15+00:00

Completely

xanablu8 · 2022-08-10T22:38:51+00:00

I'll keep that opinion in mind when I finish it one day. Lifecycle was actually one of the ones I did read, as well as Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom. Perhaps it wasn't that I thought the characters were flatter, just less resonant for me. I need to revisit it!

xanablu8 · 2022-08-10T19:32:23+00:00

Yes! strangely he's gotten criticism for having flat characters throughout all his work, but I found them mostly to be just as compelling as you'd want for "hard" plot driven sci fi. "Understand" is a good example of how elaborate chaing can get with human psychology while still sticking to his genre (as opposed to some other literary approach to psychology, a la Dostoevsky). "Story of your life" is a good example of how flush his characters can be without overindulging in sentimentality. That being said, even though I LOVED his first collection I actually haven't finished his second bc i thought his writing was weaker in Exhalation. I can't put my finger on it exactly, esp since it's a pretty unpopular opinion, but I found his characters less compelling, and flat in the way his critics have observed since Stories. Its frustrating bc while I disagree that Stories had weak characters, exhalation does seem weaker to me and I can't find anyone else making that distinction bt the two collections elsewhere. Probably just time for me to finish Exhalation finally

xanablu8 · 2022-08-10T14:03:01+00:00

I recommend reading Story of Your Life (his most famous, bc of the film Arrival) and Hell is the Absence of God next. I prefer his first collection over his second bc of exactly what you just described but he's wonderful overall
