This could be me. I first really fell in love in my thirties. Before that I had book boyfriends. Characters who I related to because of how they were written.
I didn’t know what aromantic/asexual was at the time, but they both fit me. I’m now married to a man who is my best friend and who accepts me as I am.
And being aro/ace doesn’t mean that I don’t have feelings. I do. I just have no idea whatsoever on how to express them and still feel like me, I guess?
I see you shiver with antici……

And as this post sorely misses classic romcom:
Came here to answer PTerry too. I cherish his books (going to re-read them all again soon). I love the way he gave the fantasy genre an unadulterated joy. His books are the only ones that can make me cry with laughter, even on trains where I try to behave 😀 Also, he’s the only author who made me want to read footnotes 😂
The world got a little darker when he died.
I’m having a quiet recovery day instead of a day at a barbecue with family. I hate that this latest bug is soooo difficult to get rid of.
He is my best friend
Seconding AdGuard . It’s really working well for me.
I’ve been on namecheap for a long time. They have a sale going on now. But they are really good, hardly ever a problem and if there is, their customer service is stellar.
I find the climate change deniers way more tiring.
I’m so looking forward to this! You can tell from the trailer that the cast had so much fun!
I used a couple of full spectrum bulbs in my old west facing office and the lighting was perfect for my art. Have since then moved to another spot, need to set the bulbs up there too before winter. 😀
I once managed to trip over a 5 cm metal ledge that I only noticed when I kicked into it while walking into a parking garage.
I fell over, fell on a knee that was just healed after another less stupid fall and scraped both hands badly too when I tried to break my fall.
So stupid!
Oh and it was after a concert and there were a lot of people present just watching me get up, crying in pain.
So it was my most embarrassing one too.
There definitely is a difference. A gut feeling aka intuition comes without emotion. It just is like a knowing something for sure but not knowing why.
I trust my gut feelings implicitly. My emotions? Not so much. Emotions are always fleeting. There one minute, gone the next. Anxiety replays old fears time and time again.
When I think about or see rollercoasters for instance, I immediately am afraid. When I ask myself why, I remember instantly what I felt when I had an asthma attack in the middle of a rollercoaster ride. That fear replays as something new but isn’t.
I’ve read a lot about emotions and emotional wellbeing, I guess that’s why I’ve learned to tell the difference
When I look back on my life, I always regret things I did out of fear or anxiety or any other emotions.
Trusting my gut, however, always led to the best for me in the long run.
In your case, did you follow your gut when heading home?
Also, your gut feelings are maybe muddled by emotions about the breakup, which is logical.
So give yourself some time to weigh your options and let your family and friends help you as well?
I agree. Avery Brooks is stellar in the series and one of my favourites of all trek. I really hate that there never was a movie showing if Sisko ever got back from the prophets and what happened to Jake and Cassidy and their unborn child.
It was told beautifully in the season 8 books, but I would have loved to have seen it!
As for episodes Avery is stellar in, I would count Past Tense as well. It’s such an underrated duology and Avery is truly magnificent in it.
I agree. Such an emotional episode and Sisko’s heartbreak in that last scene. Man, I tear up just thinking of it. Such magnificent acting too. The love on Sisko’s face gets me every time.

I’ve had my SE3 for a year and the battery is already deteriorating fast, hope they’ve figured it out for the 4.
I’m actually surprised there will be a 4. I had the idea that apple wanted to stick with large everything.
I have small hands and large phones give me pain issues. Hope they will keep making SE’s now 😊
Ps as for obsidian:
it is said to be comparable, but Obsidian was too confusing and limited for me. Logseq is intuitive for me and that’s what I need for my addled brain 😊
It’s cross platform, for desktop and mobile. I run it on my Linux box, my Mac and my iPhone.
To synchronise you have to pay 5 dollars a month, but it’s worth it, as it’s the first time I found something that just fit with how my brain works.
You can run it stand alone for free on either platform to try it out, that’s how I started. if you would like to know more, don’t hesitate to ask
Same here. Diptic is wonderful.
