A friend suggested I start keto in May, and I have whole heartedly dived into the keto way of eating with no regrets.
I am so lucky, they told me to go straight to the r/keto page where I got so much amazing information. Especially from their frequently asked questions page (I am so glad I managed to avoid the keto flu!).
My weight loss journey since May has been positive: 46/F/167cm/SW89kg/CW75kg/GW62kg. I'm Australian, so not very familiar with pounds unfortunately. lol
I recently stumbled on this amazing, warm, supportive community at r/xxketo! There is an amazing spirit and energy here.
I was tempted to lurk, but the strength of communities comes from it's participating members. So I am inspired to be an active participant. I am not familiar with on-line forums, so this will involve some personal courage. Please be patient with me if I stumble a bit as I find my feet!
Dumbledore was not only referring the exploding letter but the letters they exchanged when Petunia was 12 and when He leaved a letter with BABY Harry. Mind blown!
Another Redditor mentioned that when you move to a new area, your old congregation will send your publisher card and a 'letter of introduction'. What information is included in this letter? Any examples floating around out there? And for that matter, what does a publisher card have on it?
*I'm POMO but wasn't familiar with this process and am curious. Thanks!

Hello, all! I'm writing a letter of introduction that, if accepted, will allow a nonprofit I'm working with to apply for a grant. I found a few pieces of information that I'd like to cite in the letter of introduction. Is there a particular way I should do this? I've been using footnotes with MLA citations.
Thank you!
We would be having our 10^(th) friendship anniversary in April, but I am not going to celebrate.
I've been spending a lot of time lately collecting my thoughts about our friendship. I'm trying to find an answer to the question of where did it all go wrong. I've been considering writing it all out, as a kind of self-therapy, and now here I am after you decided to send me your inane Christmas and New Year's greetings pretty much out of the blue.
I know, I know, our last contact in June was a short message by you to which I haven't answered. But it was a long time coming. This half-year without the strain of our relationship was great and I am not about to go back.
I've been thinking: does our friendship makes sense? (Thanks, Tim Urban!) No, it doesn't, not anymore. We slowly drifted from healthy and enjoyable to unhealthy and unenjoyable. You are often a Non-Question Asking Friend and many times a Non-Character-Breaking Friend I Have to be "On" With. You are most of all a Historical Friend and we have a Non-Parallel Life Paths Friendship.
I've told you many times since my son was born that I cannot bear all the mental work of keeping this friendship alive anymore (not in these words, but that's what it boils down to). I have told you that it would be nice every once in a while if you were to just hit me up with a message like
>hey, I'm available for a beer / boardgame / whatever at this, this, and this time. any of them works for you?
Did it ever happen? No.
So now you decide, after a half-year of unprecedented no-contact, to send me this shit:
>I wish you a Merry Christmas ^_^
a week ago, and
>happy new year buddy :)
this evening.
How about something like:
>How did your daughter's birth go two months ago? What's her name? May I visit? How is life with a toddler and a newborn?
Do you even care?
I miss you, you fuckin' asshole. No, that's not correct. I miss the idea of having you as my designated best friend. I don't actually miss all the shittiness that comes with you.
I know you are salty about not getting picked to be the godfather of my son, but oh god, was it a good decision. I regret enough having you as a best mate at my wedding, but at least that was a one-time occasion. No, you won't be godfather to my daughter either, nor to any future children I may or may not have.
I wish I was able to send you all this, but I can't. Instead, I wi
... keep reading on reddit ➡So I just got two notes, from two totally different profiles and they say exactly the same thing:
"Hello,
I found your description very interesting and I would like to know more and possibly meet if you're interested as well."
I almost fell for it until I realized they didn't address my screen-name, nor any content at all. Then what clinched it is when I got something exactly the same from another user. I guess some new Tumblr posts are making the rounds? lol!
Feel free to post some of your more interesting examples. I hear that SD-wannabe's usually do this, so I was curious about the highlights :-)
