Okay Fine Whatever: The Year I Went from Being Afraid of Everything to Only Being Afraid of Most ThingsThe "hilarious and poignant" story of one chronically anxious woman's quest to become braver by seeking out the kinds of experiences she's spent her life avoiding (Cheryl Strayed). For most of her life (and even during her years as the host of a popular radio show), Courtenay Hameister lived in a state of near constant dread and anxiety. She fretted about everything. Her age. Her size. Her romantic prospects. How likely it was that she would get hit

The "hilarious and poignant" story of one chronically anxious woman's quest to become braver by seeking out the kinds of experiences she's spent her life avoiding (Cheryl Strayed).

For most of her life (and even during her years as the host of a popular radio show), Courtenay Hameister lived in a state of near-constant dread and anxiety. She fretted about everything. Her age. Her size. Her romantic prospects. How likely it was that she would get hit by a bus on the way home.

Until a couple years ago, when, in her mid-forties, she decided to fight back against her debilitating anxieties by spending a year doing little things that scared her -- things that the average person might consider doing for a half second before deciding: "nope."

Things like: attending a fellatio class. She did that. She also spent an afternoon in a sensory deprivation tank, got (legally) high in the middle of a workday, had a session with a professional cuddler, braved twenty-eight first dates, and (perhaps scariest of all) actually met someone who might possibly appreciate her for who she is.

Refreshing, relatable, and pee-your-pants funny, Okay Fine Whatever is Courtenay's hold-nothing-back account of her adventures on the front lines of Mere Human Woman vs. Fear, reminding us that even the tiniest amount of bravery is still bravery, and that no matter who you are, it's possible to fight complacency and become bold, or at least bold-ish, a little at a time.

Best option for Sim Racing Ambient Lighting
Item Package Quantity: 2
I picked up these Light Bars from Govee specifically for my sim racing setup to be used for ambient lighting, and they’ve exceeded expectations. The RGBIC technology is the standout feature. Being able to display multiple colors on each bar at the same time makes the lighting effects far more dynamic than standard RGB strips. During races, the lighting reacts smoothly to telemetry data—RPM, flags, rev limiter, and speed shifts all translate into immersive ambient effects that genuinely add to the experience. Setup was straightforward, but the real highlight was the seamless SimHub integration. Configuration was quick, and the light bars responded immediately once connected. No complicated workarounds, no lag—just clean, real-time feedback. If you're already using SimHub for dashboards or bass shakers, these integrate perfectly into that ecosystem. Brightness is more than enough for ambient lighting without being distracting, and the diffusion along the 31-inch bars keeps everything looking clean and professional—no visible LED hotspots. The WiFi connectivity has been stable, and the app gives you plenty of customization options outside of racing as well. For anyone building a sim rig and wanting that extra layer of immersion, these are absolutely worth it.

GREAT way to view TV
On initial set up and use of just few days I love this little light bar I'm 74 and I set this up in less than 10 min. Playing with Govee App took about same time for basic functions. The backlighting is great and now my room is lighted during night when I sleepwalk to bathroom. I'll decide later if I want to use adhesive pads. Currently it just sits on TV stand behind TV. All in all it's great! I would definitely buy again and highly recommend. Colors in photos are actually less bright in my room. The Govee App allows many many color variations. Just set up and create color palate for favorite colors and patterns. Eezee Peezee

Outstanding TV backlight edition
Item Package Quantity: 2, Item Package Quantity: 2
This is an excellent addition to a TV backlight. If you go into the GOVEE app you can sync this device to a TV backlight with a camera. You can add up to five lights. I recommend this for either a TV backlight or general ambience in the room at night. UPDATE 2025: I actually have 4 of these. 3 of them I synced with the TV strip light/camera using the GOVEE app for TV watching. The 4th one I use is on ambience lamp. These are made very durable/easy to set up. These things are not cheaply made I highly recommend
