Are there any ships from media you've not seen, that looked so interesting it drew you into the fic?

I started reading Jaime/Brienne fanfic after watching a supercut. Didn't watch GoT for years.

I mean, I got into the SIlmarillion by the way of falling for Sauron/Celebrimbor from a couple Hobbit kink meme fics. I've read it now of course, but back then I'd read LOTR once but was really mostly a movie fan.

Beyond that, it hasn't been ships per say but worlds. I've gotten into Warhammer, Warcraft, and Dungeons and Dragons even though I don't play video games or do role play games just because the worlds were so interesting.

What kind of vacations do you like? I realized recently that I really just enjoy laid back ones. I want to go some big city, visit one museum or landmark a day, be back in my room by 6pm, and eat good food the whole time. I want to stay in the touristy areas. I don't want to go to areas where someone is nodding off.

I'm so stressed in my daily life that I like vacations where I essentially put myself into a terrarium and someone else is responsible for keeping me alive. Cruises, all inclusive resorts, etc. I don't want to have to go anywhere, make food, do my bedding or laundry, or have to pay attention to things like prices or bus/rail lines. My last vacation I literally slept for half the day each day, ate whatever I wanted as much as I wanted from the buffet, and watched tv most of the rest of the time. I rarely went out for a stroll and still ended up losing an inch or so around my waist.

It's crazy how much stress hormones bloat the waistline. You don't realize it until you just... don't have to deal with stress for awhile. And it's like, oh. This is what life could be like without a gazillion daily bullets firing from all directions.

Laid back all the way. There are places I'd like to go someday. But my real life is so exhausting, when I'm on vacation, I really just want to sleep, read, and swim. Maybe one or two museums. But mostly rest.

I really mostly do staycations these days.

Same in regards to touristy areas. Spend the $$$ on luxe lodging, good food, and hit a few cheap or free venues/sightseeing.

I also like to rent cabins in relatively rural areas with pretty scenery and nearby low-key parks and scout for the local "it" spots like family-run specialty stores and produce stands.

I used to research, dream, and plan our vacations. That was part of the fun. Finding the hidden gems, mapping backroad routes, designing relaxed itineraries, looking for deals, basically taking my partner on a novel "tour." Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever be able to afford a vacation again.

Not a big city fan. I like peaceful but that can vary from a historic English town complete with funfair (it's a great little funfair!) to very extreme environments. I like to see what's on the other side of the hill.

My favourite towns of my trips to Europe were Luterbrunnen in Switzerland, Prague and Edinburgh, so I tend to enjoy the older style of cities and tiny towns compared to modern utopias. I also like being surrounded by mountains and forests much more than the ocean, even though I grew up pretty much by the water (although that might be why).

Do you have music you love but feel embarrassed about?

I hate AI. I hate the idea of AI. But somehow I've stumbled on this Youtube channel that makes anti-Trump/anti-hate songs (at least pretty sure it is AI), and honestly they are really fun.

Okay, now I'm wondering if this actually is AI? I assumed, but maybe just electronic songs?

Because I need one

SO my GP forwarded my referral to the psych on 22nd of April, they've been having a hard time trying to find me a psych in their office willing to take my case because it was listed as a one off.

so naturally I had to call my GP's office to get them to change the number on the referral and send it through again

I should not have to chase up my own psych and GP why is society like this can't they communicate properly????

A one off means it's unprofitable, right?

So it's not a matter of communication. It's a matter of privatized healthcare. Which is why you needed a referral. And why you needed to follow up. Billable hours.

Not really, a one off means that my doctor underprioritised my mental health which means that despite my sister coming in as back up to ensure I got the referral, he still downplayed what's going on with me.

I'm out of my migraine med. And it has been one headache after another.

I put in the refill almost two months ago, but I was out of refills, and it did the thing it sometimes does with the Walgreens website where if something is out of refills, the system doesn't actually input your request for new refills. It took me a week and a half to realize it was just sitting there and not going through. So I called and got it put in.

Because I switched jobs and thus insurances, I needed a new prior authorization because the insurance requires it for this med. The new insurance tried to fight, saying I needed to try other stuff first (which I've already done). So doctor gave them the evidence that I've already done that, so prior get the new authorization. The pharmacy gets it, it takes a week to get the refill there for me to pick up.

The copay on this med is over a hundred, but there is this savings card you can put in to get it without a copay. I needed a new one of those for the new insurance. And somehow, still unclear to me, there was something wrong between that card and my refill, so they are having to redo everything all over again.

Supposedly I can pick up my med tomorrow. We'll see. I've been surviving on samples from my neurologist, but I just used the last one, and it is a pain to get there as they are a 30 minute drive from either home or work and I just can't really step out of work to get there.

This is basically the only med that can stop a migraine that is starting for me. If I get it early enough, it can either instantly end the migraine or at least, for a bad one, make it only last a day or two. Without it I've had migraines that lasted 2 weeks before. So I really need it.

Oh I hate this type of situation. Best of luck, so frustrating.

I worked office jobs without a gap for 27 years. Have a liberal arts degree.

I've been unemployed for 2 years now, and I've never seen anything like the current job market.

Menial labor positions not posting salaries. Requiring an application, resume, and video recording of prompted questions before you can be considered for an interview. Job postings for positions that don't actually exist, with extensive application processes designed to collect data for shareholders. Hours and hours of labor to get to a real person. For jobs that pay $12/hr.

If you have a full-time office job right now, hang on for dear life, no matter how bad it is. And constantly upgrade your skills and resume just in case. Watch your state's job posting aggregator. Check in at least weekly to see what's out there.

I used to think it was horrid to sit in an office 8-5, doing 2 hours of work a day, coming home to hours of unpaid domestic labor. I would give anything to be in that situation again.

I was a temp for 20 years and only just recently got a full time job. Anytime I feel overwhelmed I just think to myself "this is better than job seeking".

I would literally pay a week's salary for a steady job at Walmart right now. I'd probably accept $10/hr.

This is what I tell myself too. My current job is nothing special but really not too bad. My previous job was really awful and it took a long time to get work again after I left it (due to a family emergency). No matter how overwhelming things can be I'm so grateful that I have a job and the job is overall okay.

I'm so, so sorry. That's awful. I really hope you find something soon and that it is a job where you are at least treated decently.

Thank you.
