Hi!
I read the Netgalley Booktool Advocate and it mentioned orange pencils being placed next to your review on your dashboard if it was going to be featured. I have two pencils, but one is green and one is yellow.
Does anyone know what they mean?
Both reviews are complete. When I clicked through, it just asked me to submit to Kobo, which I did. Thanks!
I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with posting their review to Amazon and it not showing up? I posted the 28th for We Burned So Bright as that was the publishing date and it is still not up. I didn't mention netgalley "exhchange" as I read amazon does not like that. I can still edit it, but it is not published. I really am eager for it to go up so I can post the link on Netgalley to show the publisher/author that I followed through.
When I wrote my review, there was only one review showing, and now there are about 2 dozen, so someone, or something is actively approving. Just wondering if the delay is normal or I did something wrong?
Thanks!
Hi,
Just wondering if I withdraw my request for a book (I've since seen a lot of 2 star ratings for it so I'm thinking I won't like it) will that affect the publisher's relationship with me? (I have not been approved or declined yet).
Speaking of declines, do they hurt anything? I'm cautious about what I request because I don't want to be declined, but I got to thinking that I'm not sure why I'm worried about that.
Thank you!!
My eating disorder therapist gave me an interesting assignment this week. I’m to write my eating disorder’s origin story — kind of a biography of how it came to be and how it has shown itself over the years.
Trigger warning: I will be discussing weight (increasing) and specific behaviors. If you are not in a safe mental space for reading about those topics, please be kind to yourself and click away.
As a pre-teen and into my early teenage years, I spent Fridays at my grandmother’s house, and she would have one piece of candy and a soda for me. I wasn’t allowed that at home, so I always looked forward to it.
Over time, I started filling up on other things with sugar: cereal with an inc
Hi!
I'm super new and determined to finish everything and rate it. HOWEVER, this book I'm listening to now was framed as an end of the world adventure and it is soooooooo depressing. I'm 40% of the way through and there has been no comedic relief. There is a line of suspense (end of the word and some mission this couple is on before that happens) but otherwise, it is one downer after another.
It reminds me of how I felt when I read The Grapes of Wrath where nothing good ever happens to anyone.
I requested this book so I'm going to finish it, but should I mention in the publisher's note area that the summary led me to believe I'd be reading a different book?
In the meantime
1 ticket through AXS app; message me your email. Grand central balcony, seat 107.

Anyone else? Realm loads, then character load screen hangs, then I DC. Worked fine this morning. Restarted computer and everything else is fine. WoW says Antonidas is up and fine. Just wondering.... Thanks!
TLDR: Figured out who 2 adults you yell, f-bomb, fight verbally outside my window and on their nearby patio are. Best course of action??
I figured out what apartment the fighting neighbors live in. The yelling has increased (both male and female yell, no one seems to be afraid or in danger and I don't hear yelling when I hear the child anymore--from previous post). Now, they are dropping F-bombs on their patio at 7am and multiple f-bombs on Sunday morning when there are kids outside.
I did write the apartment complex about the situation after I posted here the first time and they sent out a general "noise" email asking everyone to keep noise down. Understandable as I couldn't

Hi,
I am a 52 year old female who is having moderate worsening issues singing and rapping (I know, LOL) with minimal worsening with word finding and speaking (mixing up pronouns, saying the wrong words, like looking at a knee and saying ankle). When singing and rapping (Hamilton, of course), although I know the words, I cannot get them out. Long pauses and mispronunciations, wrong letters, etc. Speed is a big issue with this.
I don't need to sing or rap for work as I work in PT as a PTA. I do need to speak, however.
Does this sound like a situation I should speak to my physician about and ask for an SLP referral? Or is this just me getting older?
Not asking for diagnosi
I'm trying to find a sub reddit where I could ask a speech language pathhologist a general question about myself, trying to find out if I should seek out a referral. I don't think this is the right subreddit, and I was wondering if you could kindly refer me to one where that type of question would be appropriate? Not looking for diagnosis or treatment, more of "You should see an SLP or You don't need to see an SLP".
Thanks!
A PTA :)
Shoulders are my favorite. I love manual soft tissue mobilizations and stretches. Posterior mobilizations to help with impingement are a part of my work every day. My right wrist now has: 2 partial ligament tears, torn center of the TFC, 4 ganglion cysts (incidental finding), distal ulna is touching the lunate, and I have scapphoid condromalacia.
Recommendation from Ortho surgeon? Remove proximal row of carpals, distal row will slide down, buy me 5 more years before FUSION of wrist.
I'm not super pleased by that.
My left wrist has a completely torn TFC so I never use it for anything where I have to push down as it just has no stability.
I've been to tons of shoulder courses and I
Cannot sing/rap without MAJOR mistakes unless I knew the song from childhood. I mean major mistakes. Need to know if that's just a flukey thing or a sign of something. r/slp seems to be mainly for SLPs to discuss their craft, not a place for people to ask questions. Thanks!
Since I've been a PTA since 1995, I feel like I'm fairly compensated as my salary has gone up every year. However, I did the math, and my last few raises were 1.2%. They are not merit based. They do an average of all the PTA salaries and then everyone gets the same dollar (or cents) amount raise, so if you are newer, your percentage raise will be higher, if you've been there longer, the percentage is lower.
I'm a bit peeved about that, tbh. Now, there is a NFP hospital in our town where they just moved and realized they couldn't afford the move and new building, so they are getting NO raises and they stopped matching their (not 401K but whatever it is for NFPs). The also asked the emp
