    That and the "You'll feel some pressure" lie.

    Yeah, no. I know how pressure feels and it is not that!

    I am female therefore many medical procedures that should absolutely use some kind of anesthesia, do not because "it'll be over in a pinch" "it's mild discomfort" etc. IUD insertion is a big fear of mine.

    My car has a touch screen for audio stuff including volume. I HATE not having a knob to turn it up or down. Yes it has two buttons to go up or down on the steering wheel. No I don't like them and I would still rather have the knob thank you very much.

    Oh fuck no! Dark water is a big fear of mine. I like swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling BUT those dark patches in the water make me truly feel paralyzed and electrified at the same time brbrbrbr. One time I went to the Yucatan penninsula to swim in a couple of cenotes and boy did it make my body shiver! Let alone the meaning of cenotes in mayan cosmogony and what not but the pure sheer terror that that black water gave me was like nothing else.

    "The shutter" the original asian one. I remember watching it when it came out and loved it. ETA and the original Halloween of course but I also liked Rob Zombie's version of it.

    Compression leggings for my ashtanga practice. I have had them for years and the texture, grip and colors are still great.

    I like how they don't roll down at the waist and how their length is a tad above the heel of my foot while still covering the ankles.

    They have a Wide range of sizes and designs. luleåmindulf is the brand.

    Thin crust, pesto instead of tomato sauce, frrsh figs drizzled with.balsamic, feta cheese, arugula OR Little C's pepperoni. There is no in between.

    I liked the movie and crime books are my jam so I thought I'd give it a try. So far so good, it is entertaining and helps dull the mental noise at the end of the day.

    It is very interesting IMO. Well lol I want to so this book is wishful thinking mostly. I have a small patch of land where I planted some courgettes and tomatoes but nothing on the scale this book talks about. Maybe one day.

    Galvarino! The fiercest Mapuche warrior. He was captured by the spaniards at the Lagunillas battle, then they proceeded to mutilate him by cutting off both his hands and released him back to his people. There he planned his vengeance against spaniard occupation and became their leader. He headed the Millarapue battle with two machetes tied around where his hands had once been. Talk about badass! He was captured and executed quickly but remained a rebel icon forever.

    It is sad that some parents still have that mindset SMH

    I think your idea of going the not for grade credit is spot on. You are taking care of your students even beyond the classroom while keeping the parents and school system "happy". I wish the whole system was different so we wouldn't have to worry about petty stuff like this. Petty coming from school authorities, not petty coming from you.

    My mother not loving me and saying it to me outloud at an early age. It was a very heavy burden no child should ever carry. Also she would put on a show for other people going on and on about how much she loved her kids and how she loved being a mom while continuing the abuse behind closed doors. It was maddening.

    Taking myself to therapy as a young adult so I could heal, saved my life.

  • ETA: I have read and downloaded many of your recommendations and have had lots of fun reading them! You are such a welcoming enthusiastic bunch. Thanks a lot! Still looking for more suggestions in case someone wants to add to the ever growing list. So far this year I have read twenty seven books. Looking for some good mystery novels/short story compilation, etc. Preferably no sci fi or futuristic stuff, no Stephen King. TIA. FWIW just finished reading "We have to talk about Kevin" by Lionel Shriver. It was OK.

    As stated above. I can go months without eating an egg, for example, and suddenly crave eggs benedict for breakfast everyday. Good thing is my dietitian is aware of this executive dysfunction/quirk/habit and works closely with me to help me out planning meals in a way that works me. Right now I am on a soup kick: Soup, soup, soup everyday, all day. ETA A word
