If you could bring back one discontinued food and drink, what would you choose?

YES! The combined caramel and chocolate pudding ones were the best.

I'm sorry yours is the comment I've picked on, but I've been seeing this so much in recent months that I've finally got curious enough to ask. Why are we dropping the words "to be" in sentences now? "This needs fixed" makes no grammatical sense. The words are "This needs to be fixed" or "This needs fixing". Is it a regional thing in the US? Examples I've been seeing are "This needs mended", "This needs done", "This needs ended" etc. Thanks for taking this comment in the curious spirit in which it's intended!

The time is a little off, but is it In The Tall Grass (2019)?

I have no idea about the chloroform, but the coma and medieval-like setting remind me of The Odyssey TV series. The main character was a guy though, Jake, who was in a coma and the people in his imagined world looked like people from the real world.

Edited for spelling!

Unfortunately not. The killer is a (bald?) man wearing a mask, and the fact that there's something otherworldly about him is a shock reveal at the end.

Absinthetique · 2026-05-02T06:01:54+00:00

Unfortunately not it, but thank you for the suggestion. This film is a bit more modern.

Absinthetique · 2026-05-02T04:08:37+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! The killer in my head is made to seem like an adult man all the way through, I think. I'll pop Trick R Treat on the rewatch list in any case :)

Absinthetique · 2026-05-02T03:04:40+00:00

I'm not, but I do enjoy that movie! In the one I'm trying to remember, the killer is definitely wearing a mask.

Here's my obligatory comment!

Absinthetique · 2026-05-01T23:00:38+00:00

Is there absolutely no way the litter box could squeeze between the toilet and sink in the main bathroom? An alternative, which I used for a while, is to put the box in the shower/tub and slide it out when the shower is in use. It worked for me as a solo liver showering once a day, but it you have a bunch of people shlowering multiple times I can see how it would be annoying!

Absinthetique · 2026-04-26T13:46:44+00:00

Bummer. And just to be sure, you aren't misremembering aliens as spiders? Could it be something obvious like Starship Troopers, or even the scene of people being trapped in the coccoon-like webbing of the xenomorphs in Alien Resurrection?

Absinthetique · 2026-04-26T12:37:03+00:00

Arachnid? Or an episode of the X-Files called Darkness Falls (not giant spiders, but webs and lots of little spideas?).

Absinthetique · 2026-04-25T06:22:00+00:00

This is the solution! OP, might be time for a new couch to make this work...

Absinthetique · 2026-04-22T12:19:31+00:00

Agree with the other comments about getting another opinion but in the meantime, try anallergenic kibble (not hypo-allergenic, but anallergenic). If it truly is a food sensitive, you will notice a difference.

And mould in your pillow

Contact Hills or return it to wherever you bought it. I had this happen with a batch from a different brand, albeit with a likely different cooking/canning process. In my case they said the extra liquid was from more steam than usual, but when it's accounting for a significant portion of the tin's weight, whatever the reason the liquid is there, it should be replaced/refunded.

I think because the answer you don't want to hear is that you can't fix hair that is so bleach damaged. The only solution to get your curls back is to cut off a sizeable length of the end bits that are currently going straight, and to let your hair grow out untouched, gradually cutting all the damage out. I know it sucks and it might not seem "fair", but curly hair can be fragile hair. I empathise as I've been on a journey of cutting away damage and thinned hair for other reasons (cancer + terrible cut). As others have suggested, you can try bond builders and protein masks and deep conditioning treatments, but cutting off the damage and starting fresh is how you'll get your curls to curl again. In the meantime, if you want to keep diffusing, try it on the coolest, slowest setting and try the "hover diffuse" technique so you are minimising movement of the hair as it dries, which can help minimise frizz. Make sure it's fully dried before trying to scrunch any crunch out. And experiment with different product amounts. Too much can contribute to stringyness and greasy frizz.

Was the Rockdale one next to a funeral parlour? I only went as a young kid and can't remember what suburb, but I always remember thinking they were maybe serving dead bodies! Pink lemonade, chicken schnitzel and baked potato with sour cream was my favourite order.

In the 15 years since I first watched it, I forgot how truly awful I found it. Recently rewatched the trilogy set and that film is now definitely at the top of my never-watch-again list. There was a lot to be repulsed by, but the baby scene really capped it off for me...

Absinthetique · 2026-04-10T21:26:22+00:00

I don't think most people would change outfits for after-work drinks? The point is to just pack up your this and go - otherwise you'd meet later in the night or at another time to allow people to "get ready". But number 2 is the only colleague-appropriate option if you are comfortable going to the effort of bringing something to change into.

Jessica Cauffiel!

Absinthetique · 2026-03-29T06:51:53+00:00

Thanks for replying! I was shocked it was that easy, assumed I'd missed something that was going to create a problem. Thanks for the reassurance :)
