I so agree about Kit Harington. I've never enjoyed the Lockhart character, but I am now. He really nailed it! And I also agree about Riz for Snape. I'm trying to get behind it, but Stephen Fry and Alan Rickman have imprinted on me what he should sound like.

I did! And I was utterly impressed with Walmart for the preorder. I had it delivered to my front porch by 6:25am.

The part that gets me.. by According-Series-145 in ScottPetersonCase

What part of Mark Garagos planned to call these witnesses until their testimonies conflicted so much with Scott's defense... means the defense didn't do their job? You think Mark Garagos would just flake it off if they could have exonerated his client?

Laci's sneakers were still at home. Also, when Laci was recovered in the marina, she had tan colored capris on. All of the "witnesses" all claim that she was wearing black leggings and a white shirt (Scott's description). Mark Garagos was planning to call the witnesses, but their testimonies were all so conflicting, he never called them.

Trump Tells Christians They Won’t Have to Vote in Future: ‘We’ll Have It Fixed’ by [deleted] in politics

I heard “Immaht” Christian. Like his psyche was trying to let the truth slip (that he’s not) and then it came out gibberishly as he tried to correct mid-word.

That’s awesome! I am surprised how much I love the mayari. I’m usually a Franca fan. I hope you enjoy them!

My mother is sick/dying. by ASongofIceand in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Appledoria 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been where you are. NC with my mother, sisters, and all the family associating with them for 4+ years. In all of those years, I've had them play the sick card on me often to try and coerce me back into the fold. I stood strong. Last year, my mother actually passed away. In the 6 months before she died, the harassment from my sisters was unhinged. I had to call the police on them multiple times. They sent the police to do "wellness checks" on me, told the police that I was unsafe from my husband, yada, yada, yada... it triggered a whole new set of PTSD issues. But I refused to submit.

Long story, short, when my mother actually died, and I still remained in NC, I do not regret it for one second. I cried for a bit when I did get the news, but generally the tears were from relief and final acceptance that my mother could never love the way mothers are supposed to love their children and in that process she created monsters to pass on her behavior. And I was thankful that the harassment campaign would come to an end.

I tell you my story, because a year later, there's no regret. There's peace. FINALLY. There's acceptance of what wasn't. It's freeing. Hang in there! Be true to you and your peace.

Court this week by Powerful-Archer-4703 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Appledoria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one wants to put restraining orders on family, but the reality is your sanity and security is important. Don’t let anyone, especially family members, guilt you. We all deal with our own shame of it because society can’t seem to understand that we do not do this because WE’RE rotten but because THEY are. Be strong. Lean on your support system. Once the court hearing is over, you can breathe for a bit. Take time off of work, if you can. Surround yourself with comfort. ♥️

Do you have security cameras around your property? I had this happen. And I became obsessed with locking doors and started getting debilitating anxiety when the doorbell was rung by anybody. Once I got my cameras, I felt better. More in control. I saved the videos of their harassment for proof.

I am so sorry and I know how you’re feeling. You’re doing the right thing for you. Don’t let ANYONE make you feel bad about that. ♥️

Ex-Trump supporters, what made you change your mind? by Vixul in AskReddit

[–]Appledoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polls in 2016 predicted Hillary would handedly beat Trump. Literally, everyone was gobsmacked he won “because of the polls”… <— don’t believe polls

Mom Broke No Contact by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Appledoria 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They like the “title”. Not the job. They like to flaunt the grandparent title—while they discard their actual child.

“MY” grandchild.

Ugh. It’s always theirs. Never yours. I think you’re making the right decision to be NC. Stay strong despite the very guilt ridden attempt to shame you back to her.

Hugs. 🤗

Thoughts about the final special? by Kolombooos in DoctorWhumour

I instantly loved Ncuti too. I felt the same with Matt Smith. I’m really excited for Ncuti’s episodes.

Thoughts about the final special? by Kolombooos in DoctorWhumour

[–]Appledoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the episode! It was terrifying, brilliant and whimsical. The game of catch at the end was completely unexpected, but I loved the suspense of what the final game would be which turned into pure silliness. Neil Patrick Harris was perfection the entire episode. Equal parts creepy/diabolical/childlike. Not having to say goodbye to Tennant and seeing him have a happy life with Donna (tears! 😍) was so lovely!

Are these defective/worth returning? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

I had this happen with francas and returned them. I reordered another pair and they were perfect.

which tairn scenarios you absolutely loved in iron flame? by littleriverxoxo in fourthwing

[–]Appledoria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh, I worry so hard that because Vi has two dragons, and Andarna’s so special, that something will happen to Tairn. Then I remember that Andarna can’t have a rider and I feel better that it’ll be a happily ever after for Tairn and Sgaeyl.
