ITAW for someone who is simple-minded and naïve, but not necessarily stupid?

As the title says, looking for a word to describe someone who is simple-minded, naïve, maybe a little sheltered, and unaware of things, but not necessarily in a stupid or unintelligent way. I’m thinking along the lines of words like “dunce,” “dolt,” or “putz” but those all have implications of being unintelligent. I’m looking more for the oblivious aspect, not stupidity.

Sick to my stomach

Just finished the audiobook, and though I was aware of much of her experiences and events already, hearing everything all at once, I am just sick. To know everything he put her through and did to her and then now see him back in her life acting all chummy together, it’s nauseating. Does she have no self-respect? It was really sad to hear her so apologetic and forgiving of him after everything that to most others would be unforgivable. I just don’t understand. Literally feel sick.

Who else here is a die hard fan?

Hi, haven’t contributed much to this sub but I do lurk. But I’m starting my morning listening to Voyageur, which is one of my favorites. But I know it’s many fans’ least favorites. And it just made me think: I have loved each and every Enigma album in their own ways. Of course, I have certain favorites and certain ones I hardly listen to (sorry Seven Lives) but I don’t think any of them are bad.

I’ve been into Enigma from the start. Their first album came out when I as 7 and I started listening to them then. I don’t think they can ever disappoint me. Does anyone else feel this way? I’m proud to say Enigma is the music I’ve followed the longest even if they may not be my favorite these days. That spot is reserved for Björk. But Enigma is still a favorite for sure!

Help. Found this dead in my kitchen.

Northern Nevada here.

Early yesterday morning I found this thing dead on my kitchen floor, upturned and slightly smashed. I’m thinking I either stepped on it the night before or one of my cats might have killed it. It was about an inch and a half long.

I have never had a roach problem before. Haven’t seen any others now but I’m paranoid there are more. I cannot deal mentally with an infestation. I had bed bugs a few years ago and it was a nightmare. I cannot stand roaches and I will burn my house down if anything like that happens again.

What kind is it, what are the chances there are more, and what should I do? I am clueless and sick to my stomach over this.

Also, how small are newly hatched babies and what do they look like? I saw a tiny bug the other day on my sofa but lost sight of it before I could get a good look. It triggered my bed bug PTSD but now I’m wondering if it was a roach baby.

Would an exorcism work?

I have often wondered something. This can be applied to the general universe, but I know canon and rules, etc have changed throughout, so I’m only going to focus on the first movie and the 2013 remake, for simplicity.

If you took a possessed Cheryl or Mia and strapped them to a bed and tried to give them an Exorcist-style exorcism, do you think it would work? What would happen? Would it be just like what Regan went through, or something different?

Personally, I’d love to see Cheryl or Mia getting exorcised. It would be tons of fun. But the movies make it pretty clear that the only way to rid the demons is dismemberment or fire. So maybe the priests are off the hook?

I made Norma’s hat from Carrie

Hope this is allowed. It’s not self-promotion, I just want to share what I did. I have wanted Norma’s (PJ Soles) hat from Carrie for years and I finally did the thing. It took a few hats and a few patches to get it right. But I finally did it!
