What are the clothing sizes in Italian? I am referring to the Italian words for small, medium etc.

I looked it up but couldn’t find a straight or consistent answer.

Bowie has been a huge influence on my life and Id like to pay homage to him. I like this unique, “retro”name for my soon to be youngest. Thoughts? what would be a good middle name?

hello all! I will be spending a month in Italy towards the end of the year and I would like to be able to communicate (even basically) with locals. I would like the ability to understand where restrooms are, ordering food, casual things like that. I have quite a bit of time before I leave so I’d like to start now. Where should I start? What should I expect? thank you!

I have liked a guy a little older than me for a little over a year and we’re good friends, as are our families. We’re in our VERY late teens/early 20s fyi.

I don’t see him often but when I do he seems to be very intentional and consistent with how he treats me. Always talking to me, maintains consistent and almost over the top eye contact, a little flirty, asks questions, positions himself in my space and (when appropriate) lets himself in on my convos. A friend saw us interact and said if she didn’t know better she’d think he was creepy for how much he looks at me. The only weird thing is that his cousin (my best friend) insists he’s not interested but she also isn’t exactly rooting for us.

Everything seems to check out that he’s interested and attracted, I think I’ve given him enough at this point to get the hint but I GUESS NOT BECAUSE HE NEVER TEXTS ME FIRST. Ive opened the door to talking on iMessages and insta. I’m not clingy, I don’t double text and we barely talk. when we do it’s always me initiating. he’s not dry when he responds, he seems genuine and interested but he won’t keep the convo going.

I hear guys WILL text you when they’re interested and you’d think he’d want to even more considering we live six hours apart and see each other four times a year (typically for a week or weekend at a time) at best. I DONT GET IT HELPPPP.

does anyone know the setlist for the New Haven show? I’m having trouble remembering it

Do we have any writings or reports of the siblings commenting on each others character? I feel we hear the least about them from them.

Apparently I’m INFJ but when I read about other types (usually all i types) I just go “huh. that sounds like me” and proceed to question my mbti for awhile. It’s not that deep ofc and everyone has the potential/ability to fit into multiple types but as I’ve moved past alot of mental health issues and I’ve seen my “true personality“ emerge, I can’t seem to fit into anything properly. not that it matters that much ofc.

anyone else feel this way?

I am an inquirer so forgive me if the question sounds pointed. I’ve been seeing all these beautiful churches and garments worn by priests and patriarchs. While I do believe that we should be making beautiful things for God like churches, why do priest/patriarchs (im not too sure on the terminology) do the same? Are leaders of the flock not called to be humble? Surely they deserve our respect but they aren’t better than the rest of us. Why the pomp? I find it beautiful but I’m just wondering

Hello all! I am currently Protestant but I’m considering joining the Orthodox Church for a myriad of reasons.

My biggest hold up is the baptism policy. I was baptized as a baby in the Lutheran church but as a grew up it held no relevance to me and so I was “baptized again” a year ago.

I am grateful to God that I was able to be baptized not just in a beautiful and meaningful place by someone Godly but also be brought into His kingdom and have the assurance of my salvation in Him!

Since my baptism I have improved my spiritual life and habits and grown closer to God. The past few months I’ve been increasingly drawn to the Orthodox church but I don’t want to be baptized again under the label that my baptism last year was inadequate. I’m hoping to speak to an orthodox priest on the matter soon. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts, advice etc.

Thank you!

P.S.

please avoid the realm of infant baptism, that is not a topic I would like to discuss here.

Hello all! I’m an English speaker and VERY interested in learning Greek. As of right now I know some very basic things and have a pretty good hand at most pronunciation. I would like to reach a point of fluency but unfortunately I am very busy. Regardless, I’m trying to work the Greek language into my day to day routines.

I listen to a lot of music from many different languages and I’m looking for some Greek music suggestions. Anything really to help get it into rotation. Obviously this won’t be my only way of learning Greek but it’s a start. thank you!

Every time I like a guy they end up talking to or dating a girl who looks like me. Same complexation, same hair color and texture, same eye color etc.

Obviously it stings and I’m really sick of it happening to me. Well, right now I’m away for a weekend at a wedding where there is a guy who I like. I’ve known him for awhile, ive liked him for less and less than a year ago he was showing definite interest in me.

I can be hesitant when it comes to giving attention to a guy I like so I havnt been THE most engaging and maybe that’s why it seemed he lost interest. Anyways, last night during a rehearsal dinner I turned around and he was talking and smiling with a girl WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE ME. WHY????

Im so tired of this happening and it makes me feel like such garbage. He‘s said he’s into a certain type so why is he going for then opposite? It just hurts a lot and the wedding is today and I want to enjoy myself but masking the disappointment and pain really sucks. This is the third time this has happened to me.

Any advice? I could use it
