Hey all!
I just want to write this, because it makes me sad to see so little happy stories even tho I am sure some people have had success stories.
After my first time writing here I have had again as all of you many serious talks with my PA and things with my mental health have gone very bad. He has relapsed a few times after my first post here and one of the times for some reason hurt me so bad I had an accute stress reaction and it was so bad, that I got free days from work. For some reason that time it affected me a lot and I got suicidal, so I went to the doctors and was diagnosed with depression that needs medication and therapy. Around that time my mind was probably on it’s lowest low and I wrote my PA a very lengthy ”letter”. I wrote things that I was thinking that would help him understand where I am standing with our relationship right now. I am not going to write the whole thing here, but I addressed for the first time things such as boundries and my feelings that I feel like boundries are unnecessary, if he is not willing to actually work on his addiction. I also wrote a very emotional part where I said that I will not be staying in a relationship where my boundries are being tested all the time while they feel entitled to their stupid corn. I also wrote that since he is not doing anything we agreed upon (check-ins, no phone to bathroom, not trying to get help, no books -nothing) I don’t think I will be able to continue this relationship for long, even though I love him so fucking much.
I gave him my ”letter” and I honestly for the first time ever feel like he actually started realizing that he has to do a lot of work. Since the talk he started one of the books I had ordered, he called to the doctors and is trying to get professional help, is giving me attention and never takes his phone to the bathroom.
It makes me so so happy to see that he is taking this seriously and is actually trying to confront his fears that nobody in health care is going to take him seriously etc.
I am also getting help for my depression, which feels weird bc I feel like an imposter, even though all of the medical professionals have told me that it sounds like I really need help. The psychiater told me they suspect I have had a depression for quite a long time, but it still should be ”curable” if I take medicine and go to therapy.
So in whole honesty I feel like there might be some light in the end of the tunnel.
Thanks for reading 🙏🏻

2024.05.14 08:34 milimji Blue Moon... Reawakened?
Good evening nerds, after perusing last week’s thread about synergies with Jace Reawakened, I wanted to try to start a more in-depth discussion of the archetype that I think might best leverage his abilities: Blue Moon. While the most obvious place for Jace is slotting into the Mystmin-style Dimir Lurrus control shell (and that’s probably just stronger overall regardless of synergy), I think there are some clear benefits to going in another direction, namely: 3MV sorcery-speed value spells to leverage the plot ability, more situational spells to leverage the loot ability, and snap/bolt to leverage the ult.
Before we get too far in, I should note that I don’t have a meaningful match history to show off here. Results have been mediocre as I’ve tweaked toward this current iteration, and I haven’t tested exhaustively enough to thoroughly map out all the matchups. With that being said, it’s a fairly fun deck to play, and I think it might have enough general quality to be somewhat competitive with a refined list and play. With the disclaimer out of the way, let’s get into the deck:
Jace + plot targets:
- 2-3x [[Jace Reawakened]] - this is the real development in tech for this deck, and it synergizes very well with the rest of the cards that you already want to be playing
- 2-3x [[Blood Moon]] - The namesake of the deck. Fairly strong against domain, which seems decently represented in the meta. Plotting this on turn 4 is pretty late to fully cripple your opponent, but restricting them to one spell per turn is still useful when holding up interaction.
- 3-4x [[Fae of Wishes]] - Obviously a spicy inclusion, but it’s just such a juicy plot target it’s hard to pass up. Also a good blocker in a pinch, and it turns on Flame of Anor. More discussion on wishboard options to follow.
- 2-3x [[Fable of the Mirror-Breaker]] - Fable is everything you want in a generic plot target: great value for cost, not reliant on instant speed (unlike Archmage’s Charm), excellent with snapcaster, treasures can occasionally let you Blood Moon on otherwise sketchy lands
- 2-4x [[Flame of Anor]] - similar to Fable, this hits the spot as a plot target: plays well at instant speed but isn’t reliant on it, gives you great value to recover from a slow start, and synergizes with both of your creatures
Interaction:
- 4x [[Lightning Bolt]] - Generically great removal, and can occasionally close out the game with a Jace ult. Would prefer to run more if possible
- 4x [[Mana Drain]] - No question, best counter in the format. Your plot targets (and Lorien) tend to make great mana sinks for this as well.
- 2-4x [[Spell Pierce]] - Obviously seeing quite a bit of play in such a fast format. Your favorite card against SnT, Natural Order, Minsc, and the like.
- 2-3x [[Stifle]] - Another spicy inclusion. This spell probably isn’t good enough for the format in general, however it does play uniquely well with Blood Moon. First of all, it supports attacking your opponent’s mana base, and stone-raining an early fetch can make an otherwise middling Blood Moon excellent. Once Blood Moon is on the battlefield, Stifle helps defend it against outs like Boseiju, Otawara, or Leyline Binding.
- 1-2 [[Stern Scolding]] - Bowmasters bad, ergo scolding good. Also incidentally hits many non-bowmasters.
Other:
- 2-4x [[Snapcaster Mage]] - Fairly slow card for such a fast format, but that is somewhat mitigated by biasing toward 1MV interaction. Works great with Fable and Flame of Anor.
- 3-4x [[Brainstorm]] - On the upside, find what you need when you need it. On the downside… bowmasters. Probably worthwhile, but I could see trimming here depending on the meta.
- 2-3x [[Lorien Revealed]] - Like a tapped fetch, but more resilient to Blood Moon and synergizes well with snap and mana drain
- ~20 lands - Fairly standard mix of fetches & island duals, heavy on islands to support the Blood Moon. Probably worth running an [[Otawara]] and a [[Mystic Sanctuary]], possibly worth mixing in an additional sanctuary and/or [[Hall of the Storm Giants]] depending on how much you want to tempt fate.
Sideboard:
- Tier 1 wish targets - [[Roiling Vortex]], [[Pithing Needle]], [[Surgical Extraction]], [[Unlicensed Hearse]] - nothing too surprising here
- Tier 2 wish targets - [[Test of Talents]], [[Gaea’s Blessing]], [[Tormod’s Crypt]], [[Brotherhood’s End]], additional Blood Moon - additional support for common scenarios, or options for rarer scenarios. Note that you can put Blessing into your deck with Brainstorm when needed
- Generic advantage cards - this is where the wishboard has felt fairly disappointing to be honest. You really want something disgusting like a Valki to close things out, but I’m just not seeing it. I think [[Narset, Parter of Veils]] may be the best option to push a game from even to ahead, but it’s a bit situational and lackluster. [[Search for Azcanta]] is another cheap option, but very slow. [[Chandra, Torch of Defiance]] is a classic for this slot, but it seems to play poorly with the blue pips and instant speeds among the rest of the deck. It could also be that an additional fable is the best option.
- Normal sideboard cards - [[Molten Impact]] and [[Aether Gust]] as general interaction, probably some additional copies of wish targets for depending on the metagame
Other cards under consideration:
- Other generic control spells - Archmage’s Charm is fairly bad while plotted and very risky with Blood Moon. Counterspell might be good enough as hard counter #5. Expressive Iteration is great value, but I’m not sure it outcompetes the other value cards already included. Dig Through Time might be worthwhile as a 1-of.
- Delirium package - most blue moon decks I’ve seen have been running this, but I feel like it may just take up too much room for what you get. You don’t get the most out of DRC like a more graveyard-focused or aggressive deck would, bauble is a no-go with vortex (and you don’t have a Lurrus to recur it), and heat can largely be replaced by flame of anor.
- [[Tishana’s Tidebinder]] - This is probably the best fit that I don’t already have locked for the main deck. It’s a wizard, it supports the stifle/moon plan, and it’s great with a fable that sticks. The biggest downside is that it’s expensive, and it doesn’t interact particularly well with Jace, but it might be good enough regardless.
- [[Vendilion Clique]] - Another flash threat option similar to Tidebinder. V clique is also a wizard, it plots better than tidebinder does, and it’s fantastic with Narset if you can get there, but on the downside it doesn’t work with fable.
- [[Fury]] - coming soon, this seems like it will slot in very nicely. Helps keep the board free of bowmasters, and it works rather nicely with fable, either early game as pitch fodder or late game with reflection.
- [[Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer]] - a classic rage inducer when paired with a turn 2 Blood Moon, but honestly doesn’t seem to have a great place in the meta. Decent against SnT, but it seems like every other meta deck has T1 removal, blockers, or both. You also don’t really have enough other must-remove threats to make it backbreaking in the lategame, nor play few enough creatures to expect zero removal in post-sideboard games.
- 3rd color splash - Jund can get away with it with Jegantha, both as limitation on pip requirements and as a safety valve when color screwed. Jund this ain’t, with several 2x blue pip spells and only fable treasures to bail you out. With that being said, there are some interesting options if you’re feeling bold.
- In Temur, you have great midrange cards like Jarsyl (incidentally a wizard) and Oko (wishable). You also have Veil as interaction, and several options to shore up your enchantment removal. Going more exotic, reclamation exists, and [[bramble familiar]] gets a steep discount with Jace.
- Jeskai also has some potential. [[Deputy of Detention]] and [[Reflector Mage]] are both wizards as well as excellent reflection targets. T3f is a solid wish option, and you have veto/swords/fragment if you want additional interaction options.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk. I’d love to hear about any experiences y’all have had with blue moon in the current timeless meta, as well as any suggestions for adjustments to the deck.

2024.05.14 08:30 caltexlubricants TECHRON – DOES YOUR FUEL ADDITIVE HAS WHAT IT TAKES?
| As your engine burns fuel, carbon builds up in the fuel injectors and inside the combustion chambers. When you shut your vehicle off, little droplets of fuel will evaporate where they rest, leaving behind minute traces of degraded fuel. This grunge develops over time and depletes your engine’s ability to run efficiently. Fuel system cleaners and specifically fuel injector cleaners removes this grunge and buildup out of your injectors and the fuel system of your engine, increasing your engine’s efficiency and restore lost performance. https://preview.redd.it/arlgyj1i6c0d1.jpg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0799e9d5756d8cdf4157cfe6d1d3486f85852c0c So, if there is one question that is uppermost on the minds of automotive company owners or car owners, it is whether their car be it a test car or used car- are using the right fuel additive that ensures the optimum performance of the car even after running for over a considerable period. This is where it has been proven that Techron concentrate plus can make a difference. Before delving into the benefits of using Techron concentrate plus, it is crucial to understand the problems that automotive company owners or car owners face. While some of the common challenges that these car owners discuss are: poor acceleration; pinging of the car; cold start problems; reduced fuel economy, it is often ignorance that there are no products strong enough to make a difference, especially in cleaning the fuel injectors, combustion chambers, valves, etc. in the engine. Then there is another myth that when you drive your car and can hear the engine making sounds, and can feel that the drive is not smooth enough, there is a tendency to first think of taking your car to a mechanic. Yet more often than not, the problem lies in inferior fuel and fuel without an effective detergent. This problem can be resolved by using a high-performing fuel system cleaner (comment: TCP has been used above & to be consistent, it should be fuel system cleaner). The best thing about Techron Concentrate Plus is that it not only debunks these myths but also delivers more than it promises. This product is a great option when looking to clean your entire fuel system. Not only will it target the fuel injectors, but will also clean and restore carburetors, combustion chambers, and intake valves. The Techron Concentrate Plus formula won’t harm oxygen sensors or affect catalytic converters and is safe for all gasoline engines. Techron Concentrate Plus maximizes your fuel economy by keeping your fuel system free of buildup and deposits. It restores older vehicle horse-power by cleaning the fuel system. Additionally, it conserves your key fuel system engine parts from deposit buildup and enhances cold starts and sustains stored fuel in the gas tank for up to one year. While it resolves engine knocking or pinging and reduces spark plug fouling, rough idling, engine hesitation and engine surge issues, it also lessens vehicle emissions. It is crucial to remember that most modern engines are created with airtight engineering tolerances and designed to be at their best when they are clean and deposit-free. The fuel system is often overlooked during routine maintenance by most car owners and motorists. Stop using other fuel additives in the marketplace, stick to Techron Concentrate Plus formula to clean your entire fuel system regularly. Use with every 3,000 to 5,000 miles to improve fuel consumption for up to a year.

2024.05.14 08:25 PRSJ_13 Fear of breaking bland diet causing worse symptoms?
I just commented this on a post but wanted to see others experiences/ thoughts on this viewpoint- I will give my back story for context
I have been suffering with gastritis for 4 months (also have GERD and have had these symptoms for roughly the same amount of time in Jan last year) GI initially thought I had eosinophilic oesophagitis which was not confirmed by scope. Through trial and error I discovered that gluten triggered my symptoms and stopped eating it for 8 months which resolved my symptoms by around may last year, roughly 3 months into diet. During that time I ate healthy, home cooked everything, ate a wide variety of foods, spices, vegetables + meats and dairy. I mainly restricted processed foods, alcohol, chilli and acidic tomato. (I could eat everything and drink alcohol once healed)
Fast forward to Jan this year, symptoms make a comeback with a literal vengeance but I am GF so no idea what is causing it. Got an endoscopy and confirmed moderate linear gastritis with erosions + mild oesophagitis (non-allergy related and no signs of coeliac but I was gluten free @ the time of scope)
This led me to try to do things differently than last year because I assumed gluten was not the sole cause of this problem and wanted to rid of it forever, plus I had a diagnosis. So this sub reddit (bless it’s fkn soul) was my source for healing and I began the bland diet, cutting out literally everything except for rice, chicken/ organic gf chicken sausages, eggs and salmon (as I went on I included oats and home made almond butte a variety of herbal teas)
I followed an extremely strict supplement regimen without ppi (they caused a nervous breakdown when I tried them the year prior) I used MSM, collostrum, collagen, gelatin, Manuka honey (actually a god send and strongly recommend) and as I went I added coconut kefir, cabbage juice twice a day and aloe Vera juice twice a day.
I literally did not step out of line with this diet for 3 whole months. Not one mouthful, whiff or taste of a food outside of that and diligently took my supplements every day. I saw considerable improvement after the first month and then into the second month I stalled.
This is where it is interesting because I booked a Europe trip in October before relapsing, and I was without exaggerating, absolutely terrified of going over there with this illness. The thought of not being able to control my food/ bring my juicer for the cabbage or find dairy free kefir actually made me feel sick. And I think many of you can relate to that.
Anyway fast forward to 2 weeks before the trip, I’m about 75% better and have good days and bad days, I think it is important to note that the bad days caused significant distress and fear that I was regressing after getting better for the first month. It’s also important to note that I have not 100% confirmed my root cause at this point.
Because my GI told me I am not coeliac and gluten is likely fine, I started incorporating some sourdough toast/ fermented wheat products. Initially I responded absolutely fine to these. Once I decided I needed to break the diet in preparation for my trip I actually ate a donut and had minimal reaction.
About 9 days before the trip I started getting SEVERE lower belly cramping after every meal I consumed. At times I considered going to to the ER, even while I sat a final exam (RIP). At first I thought it was the folinic acid supplement I had incorporated (research on this shows it reverses damage in atrophic gastritis patients over 6 months of use so I thought it would be helpful) and I stopped it immediately but symptoms worsened. I came to the conclusion after the final exam fiasco (had 2 pieces of almond butter sourdough) that I am probably coeliac/ wheat allergy and the scope did not show damage because I had already been GF for 8 months (need to eat a gluten filled diet for 6 weeks for coeliac testing to be conclusive)
So I went back to my GF diet and the symptoms persisted and got worse. During this time my gastritis was also flaring up I think because of the distress from the pain and at this time I incorporated a half dose/ day of esomsprazole (the weakest PPI on the market, honestly for more mental reassurance than anything). And I know this is long as hell but stay with me, the details matter,
I decided I’m just going to have to cop the awful health and go on the trip (I genuinely considered cancelling and staying home because it was so fucked) but I just took a massive gamble and went. I just happened to speak to a naturopath @ work that day who suggested taking digestive enzymes for the trip to aid with the tummy ache (and for those fresh in the gastritis journey I would strongly recommend these, have had a huge impact for me)
This was 4 days ago, I’ve been in Paris for 4 days and it is absolutely impossible to get food that will fit these dietary requirements. I cannot get cabbage juice or straight aloe Vera water, I can’t find an organic butcher and I honestly thought it would be more miserable to subscribe to my frankly militant routine with my eating.
And therein lies the miracle- I chose to accept my health as it was, and accept the situation for the potentially shit reality that it may have been, and I just started eating food and breaking my diet. I started with plain rice and kebab meat with garlic sauce (extremely bold I know) and had some light symptoms that went away very quickly. It is essential to note that I was really scared to eat this meal but knew I needed to do it.
The following day I felt empowered and decided to try some restaurant food that was heavily seasoned, and I had a glass of wine. When I tell you I literally could not believe that I didn’t drop dead from the relapse I thought that would cause, I realised that for me (and potentially some of you long term sufferers) that the anxiety of coming out from under the safety blanket of the bland diet and extreme restriction was keeping me sick. Each day I have felt more emboldened and less scared and therefore have eaten further into my list of fear foods. This includes Mexican food (spicy + citrus) a matcha latte and an enjoyable amount of alcohol.
I genuinely cannot believe that this is how it’s going and it made me wonder what part the psychological damage this condition does to us, has on the maintenance of the illness or worsening of symptoms that cannot be explained by diet/ lifestyle changes.
I absolutely want to acknowledge the real suffering that this condition cause, I have experienced it and we can all agree it’s fucked, but I would be remiss to ignore that it seems my actual (seeming) recovery from this illness was made complete by letting go of the fea anxiety and accepting whatever outcome I got. I genuinely think that the crippling mental health aspect could be responsible for ongoing, indefinite suffering that I see on this sub. Because obviously the bland diet/ supplements and (potentially) confirming root cause had huge impact on my physiological healing and it could not have been achieved without that work,
BUT, I could never seem to shake it fully. It’s like the fear of the illness keeps it going/ stagnated at like 75% or regressing.
I am interested to know everyone’s thoughts. This will obviously not be a method for those early in healing, but may give hope to those long term sufferers
TLDR: I am able to eat all of my trigger foods after deciding to let go of the mental safety net that is bland diet/ gastritis recovery protocol, which leads me to question if psychological distress associated w/ gastritis is keeping us sick

Helena - Courtlady of Lannisport
Part 1
Reddit Account: SunstriderAlar
Discord Tag:
u/SunstriderAlar Name and House: Helena
Age: 22
Cultural Group: Westerman
Appearance:
Helena is a young woman with soft doe-eyes, and unmistakable curling, golden hair. Raised by smallfolk, and Septa’s she wears her hair up and away from her face to ensure she does not let it get wet while cleaning or in her mouth while singing. She has delicate, porcelain, pale skin and cloudy soft blue eyes. No taller than 5’5” and is most often dressed in conservative simple fashions gathered by herself, or more elegant options gifted to her by a doting patron for formal events. Never shy to present her opinion, Helena has seen the world change, and her place in it numerous times. She is unafraid to do what she must, but knows the role of a woman.
Helena prefers to wear blue and yellow, the colours of Lord Swyft’s old sigil even though she has not lived in Cornfield for many years, and has no personal attachment to the house. Her real love though is unique broaches, and hairpins, different pins reveal different favours or stylings for different lords. She does enjoy crafting dresses as well, when the rare bolt of fabric comes her way she enjoys sewing and tailoring. She is often seen carrying a unique wooden six stringed lyre, or a three stringed lute; the former the cause for her name the Six Eyed Singer. She daps herself with lavender water most mornings, and cleans her teeth with mint, and rose now that she is employed by the Lannisters of Lannisport. Clean teeth are the hallmark of a charming, easy smile to make hearts of men and women alike flutter.

Part 2: Biography
Swyft Sept (3AC - 15AC) Helena’s early life began in the Sept of Cornfield where her mother begged the Septa’s to take her. Dutifully, though reluctantly, they agreed, for what else were they to do, and where else was the girl to go. To the Governess of Cornfield, under the sanctity of the confessional, the woman, aching from the pain of birth and shame, confessed that the little girl was the bastard of Lord Swyft. The Governess, doubtful but knowing the man was not without vice, kept the secret to herself and allowed the girl to remain. The woman, who’s name was never revealed even to the Septa's, fled into the night shortly after never to be seen again. Helena was then, as promised, raised by the septas and the Governess of House Swyft. She learns basic literacy from the Seven Pointed Star with the Sisters and numbers from the Governess. Alongside her studies, she was put to work on chores like maid work, baking, cooking, cleaning, and serving Lord Swyft.
In 11AC, a travelling minstrel named The Lying Lyre arrived at Cornfield. A dashing young man with a shock of blonde curls that tumbled down his back like a mullet captivated Helena with his songs of far-off lands and noble families. In particular he sang of the Maiden’s Bay Tourney, the feats of House Targaryen, and after some time the Field of Fire and the failings of House Lannister. House Swyft was wealthy, and the Liar’s talents earned him much and more coin from the silver mines.
Helena of an age where curiosity ruled a child’s mind was enamoured with the man and his songs. She took up practising the lyre with him, and discovered that while no maestro, she had deft fingers and a mind for lyrics. Impressed by her interest and talent, the Liar gifted her a lyre before he left for future profits in far off lands. Some years of practice though, and a natural storyteller and rumourmonger Helena combined tales of the Seven Pointed Star and was invited to sing in the sept and even twice for Lord Swyft.
Six Eyed Singer (15AC - 20AC) It was not to last though and following the slaughter in the Kingswood, the line of House Swyft was extinguished. Not wanting to test the new residents of Cornfield, the Warriors Sons and Poor Fellows, after all, all men have vice, she left Cornfield, and took to singing on the road. Going under the name Lyrebird, Helena played and sang for her coin and lodgings, a young girl protected only by being seen when she wanted and an elusive shadow when she did not.
Times on the road were not easy and The Lyrebird drew much attention. This necessitated the need for another alter ego and after a year on the road and towns and villages through the West were soon visited by the travelling Septa Morgan. The Septa heard confessions and sins, gave forgiveness and offered small advice to the poor and needy. She spared coins where she could and allowed Helena to remain covert. It did not matter to most that she was no real septa, she wore the robes, knew the words, and offered as a good moral compass to children. For most in the far flung reaches of the West she was enough.
Being raised in the faith though telling a perpetual lie about being a sister of the cloth was a little too much to bear for Helena. After a year with the reputation of Septa Morgan growing through the small folks of small villages, the Septa soon faded away. Instead Jinny of Aegon’s Rest started coming to smaller castles; Turnbury, Redbramble, Parren Hall, Oldstars and the like. She took on odd jobs cleaning, cooking, teaching a daughter to read or a son to do his numbers. She was after all no threat, knew her letters and numbers herself, and was capable of scheming many a septa or fatherly gatesman to let her in.
Jinny of Aegon’s Rest became a traveller through the keeps of the Westerlands. She heard the tales from children and small folk alike. She had never meant to undertake espionage, but her place inside various courts across the land, and her talent for being in the right place at the right time meant she was an unfortunate witness to many a courtly intrigue. As her small gifts earned her again a broad reputation she would be traded between greater lords. Soon she was playing for the elite, and earning the rewards that came with it. Helena of Cornfield once again took a new name, the Six Eyed Singer, which she quickly used to escape her courtly life and take again to the road as a travelling minstrel.
The Strawberry Tourney and Ball (20AC - Current) The Six Eyed Singer formed a little bard troupe, nothing extravagant, she wasn’t playing for the Lannisters or the Targaryen’s yet, but enough to provide several shows across the Westerlands, Reach, and former Kingdom of the Trident. Her troupe, much like she had been accidentally, was devious, and while she or they sang, pockets were pinched, and many houses were looted. Her troupe when apart played for all the minor and middle nobles of the Trident and of the Reach too now. She and they were as much a part of the debauchery of the West as any of the wealthy merchants. There was no party too scandalous, no whorehouse unsung, no court too far flung for the right price and the West had gold burning through pockets.
The Six Eyed Singer was not the only bard with a troupe though and soon through the Kingdoms after Aegon’s conquest artisans, bards, and mummers alike filled the world with talent. In 20AC the Songbird made its mark, and with a little bit of fun, a lot of resentment for nobility, and an ingrained childlike sense of chaos, the first of the Songbirds’ letters sang. The voice of the little people flooded across the western coast of the Iron Throne. Lord Belaerys’ dragon had eaten several children whilst growing fat and hungry. Lancel Lannister had claimed the maidenhood of his chambermaid, and sired a bastard all at the age of just fifteen. Lord Frey schemed against his overlord for a free and independent Trident once again. Was all of it true? Impossible to say, but there were enough truths to turn heads, and the songs of the Songbird began to cause chaos in the Westerlands most of all. The Six Eyed Singer and her troupe played through it all, they were bards, but the Songbird was the most famous one of all; not their little merry band.
The Six Eyed Singer though continued her good work, and with her reputation came an invite to participate at the Strawberry Tourney and Ball alongside the other bardic troupes of the West and Reach. She was not so famous as to be alone, merely enough to earn an invite, and a paid job. The planning was years long, and with new songs and tunes came new rumours. While the Six-Eyed Singer played songs such as Fleece-eye, Dornish Sour Grapes, and Lion of the West, the Songbird worked their chaos.
A ripple pulsed through the tourney, first a cheater in the joust was revealed, Ser Byron who was disqualified as a result. Then a second cheater, this time in the melee, then a third cheater again in the joust Lord Payne had accepted a bribe from Lord Reyne to fall early. Cheating in the tourney was just the start, cheating in the bedroom of the ball was the main affair. Here the Songbird revealed three affairs; Lords Serret and Lyden were both fathers to children on women , not their wives. While Lady Serret and Lady Ruskin were bedfriends behind their husbands’ backs. There was one final scandal though, which was revealed to all at the tourney. Septon Karron was no true anointed Septon, and worse there was legitimacy to foulness surrounding young boys who served him.
The chaos broke over the tourney and all the artisans in attendance were forced to flee. Yet, all was not lost, for Lord Gerold Lannister of Lannisport had taken his eye to Helena and her playing. He offered her a job, for he wished to be a great sponsor of art in the new Seven Kingdoms. So it was she came to a courtly position, advising the Lord Lannister on matters of fine art, musicians, mummery, and all manner of artisanal dealings.
Timeline 3AC - Helena is born in the Sept of Cornfield, her mother a woman from Silverhill who begs the septa’s to take the girl in. She reveals her identity to the Governess of House Swyft, and claims the child is Lord Swyft’s bastard. She leaves shortly after giving birth and recovering.
4-10AC - She is raised in the cloister with the sisters, her Septa mothers raising her lessons on reading from the Seven Pointed Star, and numbers from the Governess to ensure that she can do basic arithmetic. She takes basic lessons in scullery maid work, baking, and general service work for old Lord Swyft.
11AC - A travelling minstrel, The Lying Lyre, comes through Cornfield to sing songs of the tourney of Maiden’s Bay, House Targaryen, and the Field of Fire. He takes a liking to the young Helena, and gifts her a lyre. He stays in Cornfield for some time, both because it is lucrative and because he enjoys teaching the young girl.
12-14AC - The Lying Lyre departs Cornfield but leaves a talented and hardworking Helena with the sisters once more. She takes to singing sections of the Seven Pointed Star, and even performs for Lord Swyft a few times.
15AC - The House of Swyft dies out and Helena, unaware of her claimed parentage but with a talent for song leaves the cloister and takes to the road, not trusting the new Warriors Sons or Poor Fellows. She uses the name Lyrebird and sings and plays her lyre for coin to survive.
16AC - After a year on the road Helena takes up the name Septa Morgan and takes to hearing confessions of the poor and needy across the Westerlands. Many of them need guidance and wearing her septa robes she is the perfect person to hear them. She is no real Septa but no amount of explaining the technicality of that stops people asking her to forgive them.
17AC - Her reputation as Septa Morgan grows a little too heavy on her shoulders, and Helena takes to wearing more common clothes, moving from keep to keep and working as a barmaid, scullery girl, and baker amongst other professions. She goes by the name Jinny of Aegon’s Rest.
18AC - Chance takes its favour on her, and Helena with her simple lyre is invited to play at a feast in Lannisport. Dressed now as a travelling minstrel she performs for the gathered nobles and earns herself invitations to other keeps. With her generous benefactors she hires a small troupe to perform her songs across the West.
19AC - Travelling the Westerlands, Helena under the moniker The Six Eyed Singer, takes her talents for being present at feasts and gatherings of all sorts.
20AC - Rumour of The Songbird takes hold, and the West is awash in the voice of the little people.
21AC - The Strawberry Tourney and Ball unfolds and Helena’s skills earn her favour with Lord Gerold Lannister.
22AC - Lord Gerold Lannister recognising her many talents picked her up to be one of the primary serving women in his House. His eye for artistic endeavours endeared him to her enough for a comfortable place as a favoured bard, painter, educator, and common court woman.

2024.05.14 07:57 MentORPHEUS We all have opinions and theories, but who has done A/B testing of sales with Free Shipping versus Customer Pay Shipping?
As a longtime buyer and newish seller on Ebay, I've never been fond of "free" shipping, as it always has a cost. Many of the Ebay Selling Gurus and Experts recommend going to free shipping for maximum sales.
What I'd like to hear about is ACTUAL experience running a well stocked Ebay store with the paid shipping model, and the effect on sales of switching most or all of the inventory to "free" shipping, or vice-versa.
Does "free" shipping with the shipping cost built into the item price really outperform the customer-pay business model? What about the compromise model of charging a nominal flat shipping fee below actual cost?

2024.05.14 07:54 littlemachina How bad is ageism in getting hired these days? Is it worth the college debt (US)?
31 F, southern US here. I messed up my 20s badly due to undiagnosed autism and not knowing how to deal with things correctly + no parental guidance. Out of high school I had a free ride to university and dropped out early due to mental health issues. I didn’t know how financial aid worked and was afraid of loans so I just worked various dead-end jobs for years thinking I could never return to school since I lost my scholarships. At 27 I finally got over my fear and went back to community college for an associate’s degree in web development. It was so easy, I graduated with a 4.0 but I legitimately cannot really code at a professional level. I applied to a few places but I quickly lost motivation after receiving some interviews that went nowhere, or receiving coding tests that were extremely above my level.
I looked into getting a bachelor’s degree in computer science only to learn that almost none of my credits would transfer to university. Also my credits from AP tests I took in high school have apparently expired. I have to start from square zero. I have a job and make money but part of me is disappointed that I’ll never be a career woman. I want to be proud I guess. If I start over and graduate at around 36, is it worth the debt to try to get a job nearing 40? I’m thinking of getting into copy-editing since they seem to have a lot of remote work. I’ve honestly lost interest in coding. Please let me know if you have experience with this! Thanks in advance

2024.05.14 07:52 Babelfish112 Some notes about self-researching and symptoms (PV negative)
Hi all,
I'm a male in my early thirties. I just wanted to add my two cents since coming across this subreddit. Let me summarise:
- High range haemoglobin count (hovering around 175-180+, highest was 192) for 3-4 years (blood tests taken roughly once a year)
- Regular blood tests, blood pressure, oxygen all normal
- No symptoms except perhaps tiredness
- Neutrophil count was very low (0.3) recently but came back up to 2+ after checking again after two weeks
I saw a haematologist recently who requested a few more blood tests including the JAK2/mutation test. The test results took two weeks to come back, and during this time I had quite bad health anxiety that it could be PV or something else malignant. I couldn't stop panicking about it due to what I had read online and I was basically self-diagnosing at this point.
Thankfully, the tests all came back completely normal and in fact the haematologist said I don't have polycythemia at all, whereas I believed that it was secondary polycythemia. They also said that the low neutrophil count was typical of a virus that I got over, since it normalised after a while.
I have always snored (sometimes noticeably loudly) and have days where I feel while exhausted, so I will be following up with my GP about possible sleep apnea. I also suffer from tension headaches (not particularly stress-related) which a neurologist 5+ years ago prescribed me Sibelium (Flunarizine) for which I have been taking ever since (head MRI was normal).
I just wanted to say that if you've got here by Googling symptoms and are panicking, please don't try to diagnose yourself or jump to early conclusions. See a haematologist and get the JAK2/mutation test done and rest assured that it is very rare (0.01% or less). If you go in for a blood test, drink plenty of water beforehand since dehydration can elevate the haemoglobin count.
I hope this helps anyone going through health anxiety like I did - please feel free to ask me any questions!

Hola, ¿qué tal? My name is Jhon Pérez, a native Spanish tutor with over 10 years of experience in Spanish homework. I can help you with any type of Spanish assignments: exams, quizzes, tests, worksheets and essays.
I've done many accounts on VHL Central, McGraw Hill, Blackboard, Canvas, MyLabs, Cengage, Desire2Learn, ELEteca, Edgenuity, Contraseña, WileyPlus and more.
Besides being a native Spanish speaker, I have knowledge of vocabulary, functional grammar and the functions of all levels of Spanish (Beginners A1-A2, Intermediate B1-B2 and Advanced C1-C2.)
I can work with login, TeamViewer and screenshots. If you choose the latter I will make sure to be online at the agreed time to work with you (you send the screenshots and I send the answers.)
This is not an agency. It's just me, the Spanish tutor, so you don't have to pay double fees (one to the agency owner and another to the tutor.)
Unlike other Spanish tutors, I will provide you with safe, untraceable VPN connection to your closest location and follow your instruction(s) to deliver plagiarism-free Spanish papers.
For tight deadlines I can deliver the same day as long as I am contacted at least 4 hours before deadline.
My rates are pocket-friendly and flexible to fit your budget. You can use milestone payments or pay as you go.
Proof and vouches can be seen on my profile.

2024.05.14 07:47 Trickierbrake78 Just wanna feel heard
This is such a difficult thing to word, Ive been staring at my screen for hours thinking about this.
Months ago, I posted in this thread about feeling sick and going gluten free after a celiac panel that (unbeknownst to me) was a flag for a slightly low IGA. Over the phone, they told me to start eating gluten free immediately (which i dont think i should have done). I went gluten free and felt better with time, thinking that eating gluten free was the reason I felt better. I dont remember much of me being sick now, I think i blocked it out because all I did was lay in bed and go to work when I could, but my girlfriend reminded me that i didnt feel better for months after going gluten free. all foods were making me feel sick. I received blood tests for my thyroid, general blood test, and a genetic celiacs test. My stuff was normal and i did not have a celiac gene. I was scheduled to have a colonoscopy and an endoscopy in June. Fast forward months later and Im honestly feeling a lot better, my 3 month checkup comes by and my doctor is amazed and cancels my procedures and recommends I try to introduce gluten into my diet again to see if I react. I have yet to do that but I stopped caring about cross contact and I havent noticed a difference in my health.
Today, we had tacos with my roommates and flour tortillas were involved. Im almost certain that the spoons for the sour cream, salsa and guac touched flour tortillas and went back into their containers and i still ate from them with no symptoms so far. i feel like roughly one year ago i wouldve flipped my shit about this and if i had eaten from it, i wouldve scared myself into “reacting”. im just so lost. why did i feel sick for so long? was it related to gluten? i have bad health anxiety but i feel crazy thinking thats why i was sick for damn near a year. this all just sucks, i want answers lol

2024.05.14 07:44 Trinchante A few questions
Hi everybody i Just wanted to know some things that are a bit specific and im not sure how to call them for the tittle, so here we are.
Is there a place or way to know about private league that streamers do sometimes other than just being a follower (like now the tuna's mazal league)? Idk like a specific place that everyone make an announcement?
And on the other hand, is there a way to reset the atlas progression to 0 for a clean leaguestart again? Just wanting to test things on a league start scenario.
Thx 4 all and sorry if my english is strange, feel free to tell me if something is bad explained or to give tips! <3

2024.05.14 07:35 John-Miller-OFM I Tested The Best Undress AI Tools To Nudify Images (Free & Paid)
Hello There,
Over the past 5 months I have tested probably around 20 of these AI undressing websites. I wanted to share my experience with you after my comparisons.
AI-Nudes. app: From all the sites I tested I was quite impressed with this one. AI-Nudes had the most realistic results. Compared to the others, it's also the cheapest one. Pro: they allow fully nude undressing without needing to buy premium which the others don’t. :)
Undress. app, Undress .cc, Undress. love and Nudify. online: All of these look like they are from the same owners. They also provide good results, but are more expensive.
Ainude. ai: This one is good for anime style results if that’s what you’re into. Not the most realistic results I was after, but I understand the appeal.
What Do You Guys Think? Let me know

DubaiPetrolHeads Deleted this post
Hello! Geely Owners,
I was at the Geely dealership in Sharjah yesterday and Checked out the Coolray GF 2025.
Pretty Much Blown away by the specs and the interior of the car. Couldnt get a test drive unfortunately.
amazing deal for 87K.
- 5y/150k KM Warranty
- 40k/ 2y Service Pack
- approx 70% Armolan tint (looks like 50% according to the sales guy)
- 1yr free RSA
- Registration Included.
I had a few Questions to the Current owners of Geely Vehicles.....
- Insurance....I cannot find insurance for this vehicle with any company. How do you manage that?
- Overall Quality/performance of the car post purchase
- Maintainence Schedules
- How's the AC for the UAE Weather?
- Service pack for additional warranty or if I want to continue servicing with the Dealer
- How's AGMC overall in post sales service
- Also...Any tips or tricks that I should be aware of If i decide to buy this car. Any freebies/addition things i should ask the dealership when purchasing?
I have asked these questions Mainly for the Coolray.
Owners of Other models are also welcome to post the feedback of their vehicle here.
Hoping that others interested in Geely can also use this post as a reference.
