So happy that I have my first job.
However, I have T2 Diabetes and am worried how tasting sugary drinks is going to spike my blood sugar.
Any advice about how to bring it up?
Does anyone remember Trader Joes selling this amazing coffee blend from New Mexico?
It was the best coffee I have ever had in my entire life, and I, for the life of me, can't find remanence of the product anywhere. No pictures of the package, nothing. Not even on Ebay! Whenever my family bought it, we called it New Mexican coffee. I miss it so much and hope there are alternatives out there.
It was in stores in Georgia, by the way.
Fell in love with the drama How Dare You and would love to know if there are other dramas with multiple transmigrators in it.
Y'all, I haven't had a show put me in a chokehold since Crash Landing on You all those years ago.
Amazing premise. Amazing set up. Amazing execution!
The company politics had me at the edge of my seat.
For those who haven't been blessed with an amical beating like I have, Reborn Rookie is a workplace revenge fantasy about Hwang Jun-hyeon, a Choiseong FC soccer player, and Kang Yong-ho, the chairman of the Choiseong Group, colliding in the the best way possible, causing them to body swap. With Choiseong being FILLED with corruption, chaos ensues.
The only grip that I have with the show is here.
>!If you are looking for a romance, go find another drama. The revenge plot is the main focus.!<
>!The semblance of a romance made me a bit uncomfortable, like WTF.!<
>!Kang Yong-ho, who is in Hwang Jun-hyeon's body, teams up with his youngest daughter, Kang Bang Geul. Bang Geul crushes on Hwang Jun-hyeon. But the problem is that she is crushing on her dad.!<
>!I don't care if she never found out about the swap. Most of the development, the chemistry was between father and daughter. This kind of incest was not on my bingo card.!<
>!Luckily there was a two year time skip where the actual Jun-hyeon started dating Bang Geul, but still. Yikes.!<
Other than that, everything else was perfect. This is based off of a manhwa of the same name, but they made a lot of changes which I really liked.
Hope I convinced someone to check it out.>!​!<
Love isekai. Been loving it for years, but I had a pretty long break of not consuming it.
Anime, Webnovels/LN, Manga, Manhwa, Manhua, Comic, even Fanfiction. I absorb them all. The medium doesn't concern me.
The only things I refuse to consume is harem and omegaverse.
Much appreciated!
I wrote a Severus x OC fanfiction that I am pretty proud of!

Excerpt:
"My Lilac,
Rejoice now that you are free of me, for I never deserved your devotion.
I damned myself by becoming a Death Eater. Left merely to dedicate my existence to atonement.
Life unburdened by my presence is a blessing. Whatever pain my absence has wrought will inevitably fade. I trust that, in time, you shall efface all memories of me and find solace devoid of my influence.

Got a callus on my Philtrum after I got it waxed in middle school. It refuses to go away. I have tried everything, even going to a dermatologist.
Tried natrual rememdies like oatmeal and salves, over-the-counter drugs like anti-itching cream. Even went to the dermatologiest multiple times where they prescribed steroid creams.
At its worse, it developed leaky wounds that refuse to heal. The steriod cream helped with that.
But the callus persists. It's a coninuous cycle of getting better and worse. Itchy, flaky, iritated.
I can't help but itch it. I rather feel pain than itch. I think I itch it in my sleep as well.
I am at a total loss. At this point, I have lived with the callus longer than I have not.
Just a vent post.
After months of job hunting, polishing my resume, and facing ghosting and the rare rejection, I was finally able to score a screening interview.
Prepared the best I could, studied the company and the interviewer. While researching, I fell in love with the company and was inspired by the interviewer. It was a small business and the interviewer was the Vice President and was also previously the CEO of a nonprofit. Overall, I was just honored to be noticed.
But everything fell apart once I began the interview. The interviewer being of high standing really intimidated me and my mind blanked so many times. Had my resume in front of me for reference with notes, but it didn’t help. I was a deer in headlights. I communicated so well on paper but completed flunked on my verbal communication.
Just couldn’t properly get through the “tell me about yourself” question. I tried to explain but I couldn’t figure out what she wanted to hear. Like there was some subtext I wasn’t getting. She even moved in from questions that I completely blanked on. In the end, she told me how I was very unprepared and that I wasn’t a good fit due to me not being able to properly answer these basic questions.
I told her I understood, thanked her for her time, and ended the meeting. A part of me feels like I humiliated myself and wasted her time.
My older sibling told me how the interviewer must have saw potential in me since she took the time to give me feedback and that this experience was an overall win. That it was my first time, and rarely anyone gets the job on their first try.
Makes sense, but it didn’t stop the pain of rejection and the shame from the obvious mistakes I made. Couldn’t stop myself from crying for hours after.
I am writing one of those OC-Insert where MC reincarnates as Sasuke's older sibling. Unlike many of these fics, MC died when she was 12.
In the story, Sasuke and MC becomes 7 year old Naruto's neighbor. As a fan, MC immediately gives him a hug when they meet.
My problem is figuring out how he would react. Poor Naruto, shunned since birth, is touch starved and does all sorts of stuff for attention. Suddenly, this random person hugs him after meeting.
Would be push away? Have a moment of shock before leaning into the hug.
I know how my MC will react. After her mind catches up to her impulse, she would profusely apologize for invading his personal space.

Not to go into spoiler territory, the Knight Moralis, the police of this world, caught a criminal who was selling magical devices that gave people the ability to see through people’s clothes. It was very refreshing to see a manga treat SA with the seriousness it deserves and not have it be played for gags like a lot of past media. I also love to see content warnings like this in official media. And the fandom treats it with the same seriousness.
It made me think of how many in the Harry Potter fandom treat SA the exact opposite regarding SWM. And how they try to downplay it, trying to get all technical with their mental gymnastics. Calling what was done to Snape not SA.
After 6 years on Ao3, I have reached 1,000 kudos on my account!! I am soo shook!! Never thought of so many people finding and loving my work!
I recently got my labs, done and decided to check my vitamin D levels. Recommend to always get those checked. It showed that it was 75 ng/mL. Very happy with these results. Taking vitamin D supplements daily does help! I did it for about a year.
The took vitamin D3 supplements. Mostly took UpNourish Liposomal D3 K2 MK-7. (You can buy it off of Amazon). The serving size on the packages is one softgel, but I took one with breakfast and one with dinner. So a total of 10,000 IU daily.
Also tried New Elements Vitamin D3 K2 10,000 IU with Magnesium Glycinate 500mg for a time (Also found on Amazon), but it had a lot less softgels.
Now, for maintenance, I take Carlyle Vitamin D3 10000 IU (Also Amazon), one softgel a day with breakfast.
I wish everyone the best on their vitamin D journey! I hope my experience helps.
This makes me want to cry. Severus has gone through so much only to die such a horrible death. I don't understand how people can condone what the Marauders done to him, downplaying this traumatic event.

I rewrote my first Uchiha OC-Insert and renamed it!
"The Ripple From One"
Summary:
Diana Baggarley had her whole life ahead of her, a college freshmen who finally got a job! She never thought she would die in a car crash and be transported into her favorite manga as Itachi's younger sister. Armed with a deal, now Humiya Uchiha has to navigate the dangerous world of Naruto.
Excerpt:
"Diana was so deep in thought that she did not notice the truck hurtling toward her as she drove forward, the driver unconscious on the steering wheel.
If only she saw the truck coming. If only her airbags deployed on time as it slammed into the driver's side. If only she could talk to her family one last time…
Maybe she could have stopped this death if only she looked, but there was never time for what-ifs when reality struck. The only thing that Diana could do was ascend into the blinding light of her memories that engulfed her."
