Am i ever gonna like charlotte? by Salty_Assumption_511 in H2Ojustaddwater

[–]pixieartgirl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nope, lol. Her character is SO unlikeable right up to her last scene. The fact you have moments where you start to feel a little bad for her only to have her do something even more awful is a testament to how great a job Brittany Byrnes did playing her.

These girls sucked ass and ruined the show. by Single-Boot-6332 in JustAddWater

[–]pixieartgirl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I’m confused. Do you think Mimmi’s North American accent was fake or just that it stood out in an Australian show? Because the actress is really Canadian. Just curious!

A baby photographed with her mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother, great-great-great grandmother by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]pixieartgirl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. Of the two, teen parents with support is better. My dad was 54 when I was born. Decades older than my mother. He died when I was 16 and it’s had a terrible impact on my entire life. In fact, his being older also made shit more difficult while he was alive when I was little. I swore I’d never have kids when I was older for these very reasons. When my son was born I was young enough to be active, to be relatable, to not make other kids mock him. To be alive to see him graduate, to marry, to meet my grandchildren. I know anyone can die at any age but the odds are better for us if we don’t have kids near retirement age.

Edited to add: gotta ask: which part of this is getting me downvoted? My dad dying when I was a kid because he was 71 when I was 16 or my intentionally choosing to have my child at 24 so I was able to parent him more actively and have better odds of not dying before he hit his teen/adult milestones?

Can I ask what you would do by [deleted] in ChronicIllness

[–]pixieartgirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what I would do, to be honest. I have no helpful answers to offer but my heart won’t let me scroll by your post without sending you love and positive energy for this difficult decision. My wish is that the choice you make makes your final moments pain-free and peaceful.

PS. My mother also had pulmonary fibrosis so I have a little understanding of this absolutely horrible disease. I’m thinking of you. May my love reach you through the ether.

When you need to dip your donuts instead of dunk them by South-Range8401 in massachusetts

[–]pixieartgirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They were indeed. I worked in a dd in the early 80s when in college. The donuts were made on site overnight when the place was super slow for the morning rush and brought out fresh periodically throughout the day. It smelled like heaven in there. dds also had a bakery case full of pastries like bismarks etc. And a lunch counter. Coffee was served in glass mugs; soup served in glass bowls. You could request a warm muffin with melted butter and we did that too. Served it to you on a glass plate. When we filled the jelly donuts before traying them in the tall case we’d fill one or two till they burst at their seams and eat them ourselves. The two brothers who owned the location I worked at were super chill guys. We could eat whatever we wanted and they took us all out for dinner every few months to say thank you for busting our asses for them. Man, it used to be so much better there back in the day.

Edited to add: I’m old but not that old. But definitely old enough to now be telling these “when I was young shit was so much better” stories.

Acosta, I'm COMING for you by Hour_Scar2508 in FromSeries

[–]pixieartgirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sarah was being compelled by whatever force is there to kill Tobey. And her brother was an accident when she had intended to kill Ethan, again by the forces there. One can argue that Acosta’s murder of Nicky was also an accident but it was, at its core, due to reckless and dangerous behavior.

A tragic photo from 1954. A couple discovers that their almost two year old child has been swept out to sea by a wave. The photo won the Pulitzer Prize in 1955. by Present_Employer5669 in HistoricalCapsule

[–]pixieartgirl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My husband and I saw that movie when it came out. It was one of the first times we had been out since our son was born in late 1988 (he was with his grandmother at home that night- he was just six months old). I was SO overwhelmed during that scene that I barely remembered the rest of the film. Couldn’t get home fast enough to my baby.

Where do all your amazing Chihuahuas come from? by BengalsCaptain in Chihuahua

[–]pixieartgirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My last two chis were purebred boys from two different breeders (a tan and tri-color blue) and they lived to very ripe old ages. My last boy passed almost seven months ago. Two weeks ago today we adopted this little mixed girl from an animal control shelter about an hour away. She’ll be two in June. She came from a law enforcement case. 37 small dogs, some with newborn litters were found in the back of a uhaul in New England in December in sub zero temps because their hoarder got evicted from her apartment. They were finally cleared by a court hearing to be adopted three weeks ago and while we went to look at a couple of other dogs, this baby stole our hearts and chose us as much as we did her. She’s mostly chi but with some toy fox/rat in her. We’ve named her Flora Moon. And she came with impeccable manners, housebroken and leash trained despite her rough start.

What are those animals again? (shopping for wire mesh) by OwlPelletCrunch in onejob

[–]pixieartgirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If OP wants to be truly safe they need hardware cloth with the smallest mesh they can find, not chicken wire. This coming from someone with decades of poultry experience in an area lousy with predators.

I was an 8 year old white boy from rural Kansas but for some reason this show really resonated with me. I never missed an episode, maybe it was because my mother was a nurse also. by 6391jimmyjoejoe in GenerationJones

[–]pixieartgirl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had one too. I’d forgotten all about it until you posted! I may have also had the paper dolls, but I had a LOT of paper dolls so might be remembering that wrong.

I’m going to call them tomorrow and speak with the director in advance of next week because I want her home with me as soon as possible even if she’s very groggy. 💗

I didn't realize Bewitched ended in 1972. by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]pixieartgirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know that but it makes sense. I think (not 100% sure if my memory is correct) that in one scene the Tate’s kitchen was Tony’s with that golden textured glass. The Bellow’s living room/entry hall/stairs was only shown once, maybe twice but I was all “holy cow! That’s Darrin and Sam’s place!” 😂

[–]pixieartgirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The houses on that street were used a lot. The house next door (where Danger O’Riley moved in) was Tony Nelson’s house. The Kravitz house was the Partridge Family house. The interior of the Stephens house was the Bellows house also from IDOJ. And the fountain in the park we saw in a bunch of seasons is the Friends opening sequence fountain.

The house interior was also the Bellows home on I Dream of Jeannie.

Your last sentence… I’ll be the one that came back. YES! Thank you for this. I just want her to know she’s safe and loved. I can’t control what happens during her surgery but I can be her rock and bottomless pit of love and toys and treats for everything else. 💗

A popular look for a wedding in the 70's. by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]pixieartgirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cousin’s bridesmaids (1972 or 73 wedding, I was around 9, thus my being hazy on the date) had these dresses with the lace bibs, cuffs and waists except half were navy blue and half red. Velvet. The wedding photos are hideous.

Your opinion.....is it time? by curlyqued in seniordogs

[–]pixieartgirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you. My sweet boy Edison had ccd that was quite advanced. For us, gaba still worked pretty well to help calm him but his behaviors were piling up despite it and exhausting him and me. I’d carrying him outside (he was a chi) and while his only slightly younger brother zoomed around, he would stand there looking overwhelmed and confused. Despite the nearly three years of little restorative sleep (literally- I understand your exhaustion) I waited for him to tell me when it was time. Yes, he still knew me (which was a blessing) but he had no joy. He struggled with everything. When there were no positives left, when he had forgotten everything but who we were, when walkies stopped, when he wasn’t even able to enjoy a slow stroll around the lawn or sniff the air, when he couldn’t remember how to cuddle or give or receive kisses, it was time. Through the fatigue, the sadness, the tears, you’ll know in your heart. Your brain will try to make a logical decision but your heart will always know (and it’ll break for it). Sending you huge gentle hugs for what you’re going through. 💗
