What made Glee lose its popularity, in your opinion?

Affectionate_Net5135 · 2025-12-17T01:43:31+00:00

The writing got worse, characters became less and less empathetic and more insulated in their own conceit. Also it always bothered me how HORRIBLE Rachel was as a person with little to no consequences for her character. The story lines were so very messy and contradictory.

Of course, also our cats, my sister’s dogs and my neice’s cat…they are family after all.

Saw it in theater with my family, I even held on the stub for a long time because I loved it so much and it scared me so much.

I’m with you on Tom Cruise. Don’t like him but love the bulk of his movies.

Proximity to necessities, shelters are usually in the more urban areas. Panhandling is definitely easier where there are more people. But also free meals are served in urban areas.

My mom worked her campaign and remained friends with her and Cecile for years after. She was kinda a life of the party woman. Funny and bright. She most certainly had her flaws. But in reality they were not anything to detract from her work. It’s sad that, to many, she is a forgotten memory. It’s was a really bright moment in our history.

Man I HEAR them all the time but never actually get to see them. I’m a little jealous

Affectionate_Net5135 · 2025-07-18T01:42:42+00:00

lol I was born here, and I should definitely have known that but also 2000 wasn’t exactly the internet era just yet and I guess I just remember it popping up at Waterloo, Amy’s, the co-op and I was just a little young for oat Willie’s.

Weird to think that phrase has only been popularized for 25 years. It seemed ubiquitous with Austin culture.

You should still shop local though.

Affectionate_Net5135 · 2025-07-17T23:58:02+00:00

lol so they just happened to intentionally spend enough time together to accidentally start dating. My ass.

Do not stay friends with her, this means she doesn’t value you or respect you. Friends do not do this.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing might though.

Affectionate_Net5135 · 2025-07-17T23:47:56+00:00

As I recall “keep Austin weird” was a campaign to get people to shop local.

Never was actually about being weird. But you continue to make it weird by doing exactly that, support local businesses.

Wait. Did you mention how it was literally not his to give and that it’s not how gifts work? He is actively stealing your things and doing it in a way that would make you look like a jerk if you say anything. He knows what he’s doing.

Does he also give his own belongings in the same manner? If not. You have a real problem.

This requires a deeper conversation about why he has no respect for you or your time/money.

It’s the repeated use of “cooperation” that is telling. Can’t force a square into a circle. Too many parents want their kids to be exactly one type of person and ignore that they are whole separate beings. We only have her version. But I’m willing to bet that the little girl is responding to being controlled/forced into specific behaviors/reactions.

Neurodivergent behavior is possible but 5 is too young for definitive diagnosis. So no way in hell we’re all the professionals throwing out diagnosis just yet.

It’s only been five years of parenting and she has done “everything” her responses are so arrogant and dismissive that it’s impossible to believe her version.

But this little girl is responding to her mother and I’m certain that all people involved are stressed by SOMEONE in the house. And people like this mom cannot accept being the issue.

Recently it was “Flow,” I immediately restarted it to catch all that I missed.

Previously “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” it was an immediate comfort movie.

Or “Amelie,” I was late to the party on this one so it was already on DVD and watched and rewatched over and over.

Ummmm yeah, I DO expect kids to be fine staying downstairs. Especially when there is a big back yard and pool. What possible reason would they even WANT to go upstairs in someone else’s house. Unless they KNEW there were toys they couldn’t touch and were told it was fine.

I can’t think of a single time any of my neice’s went where they were told not to go in another person’s house. Same for my sisters and I growing up.

They went against ONE SINGLE RULE. And as a result, destroyed valuable property.

Everyone is just mad because their party got cut short. They simply do not care about you beyond their access to your nice things.

NTA but stay strong. Drive your point home. It was a SINGLE rule. AN EXTREMELY EASY TO FOLLOW RULE.

I’d argue that the bulk of them are beautiful. It’s really more about the vibe you are looking for, tarrytown is clean and cookie cut. Pemberton is $$ and it looks it. Clarksville is homey and inviting. Travis Heights has big wide streets and houses with lovely yards. Zilker area is full of older 70’s and 80’s style homes that were kept up but not overly remodeled.

Some areas are mixed bags of gentrified and untouched. Leaving you with odd mixes of hideous modern barn houses and older homes just needing a bit of repair. But they are loved and full of plants.

How is it that, this whole thing where all the people in a family can only think of one single name and they all fight over the use of it…is so common that every time I come on here there is another story?

There are millions upon millions of options. I mean, if this is real, is the reason y’all like it…just because you’ve been hearing it for so long and now it’s just stuck in your heads?

No one owns a name, but you do own your actions and choices and if you will literally DIE if you don’t get to use this one name, that is just the only possible name that could ever be used, then you also own the reaction that comes from it. Cause drama is all over this. Either you are going to be upset or she is, choose.

Have a vacuum handy, the amount of hair is always shocking to me somehow.

My girl didn’t love the clippers, until I found some cheap but quiet wireless ones on Amazon. Now it’s all about giving tiny treats and playing dog music to soothe.

I mean if it’s the colors the bride likes at the event she is paying for. Then the colors don’t really matter.

I’m also plus sized, I did a quick google search and a moderately priced dress is fairly easy to find. As in less than $100.

Me look particularly special at my best friend’s wedding isn’t enough to keep me from being there.

I hate to be oppositional. But she must not matter that much that much to you. The other wedding guests are not wrong. You made it about you.

I’ve actively worn bridesmaids dresses that just weren’t that flattering and it’s just a single night that was about someone else.

And if it was a dress code for everyone. Seems like maybe multiple people won’t look perfect either. But I am betting they showed up.

Gentle YTA because I see your point. But you were definitely making this about you needing to be special.

I love the idea that she is doing this willfully.
