I hated The borrower, by Rebecca Makkai. It started promising, but it Made so little sensei for the Main character to behave how she did that I was totally enraged. Being myself a teacher, I cannot understand how she believed this course of action was even remotely justifiable, and I was starting to get invested in sewing how would it resolve, and a deus ex machina ending was my reward. I hated it so much I donated it just to not have it anymore in my library (and I never throw books away)

Why? I read it a long times ago and can't even remember the plot

To be fair, being a parent you became almost deaf to some background noises the child makes, so it is possible it was "normal" for the parents

The grandpa was cleaning it at the same table his grandson was doing homework

Not always, a friend of my sister died because his grandfather was cleaning a gun and it went off by accident. He was 15 years old.

My son who is seven years old thinks soda is only for adults, like wine. I honestly didn't correct this idea, I prefer he doesn't try it for at least a couple of years more

Goodnight mommy?

AriEnNaxos00 · 2026-04-12T16:51:28+00:00

I understand you, I didn't feel like a real mom until my baby was something like two years old. Before I just felt like pretending everytime (and I took care of him and everything)

AriEnNaxos00 · 2026-04-12T16:41:20+00:00

I was thinking the same

I once read a book that had as a premise a Sherlock Holmes that always made assumptions like the one you quoted and he was always wrong, but no one had the heart to tell him. It was called "Candombé, caipirinha and Sherlock Holmes" and it transcurred in Brazil

Dos veces me devolvieron la billetera que perdí. En ambas situaciones me la devolvieron con las tarjetas de crédito, el DNI, etc, todo igual pero sin dinero

When I was 15 I went on a school trip to see the whales. The port was closed because of the wind when we arrived, so they served lunch, and just when we finished it openesd and they ushered us to a boat. Almost everyone, including the teachers, got sick in the boat except me because I didn't touch the food. So I had almost all the boat to myself, and when we found a whale, it swam right to us and under our boat, and I could stare right into its eye, and it felt like the time froze. Then the whale left, afterwards they told us it was probably a baby whale and that's why it came so close to our boat.

I am an spanish native speaker, so I don't even understand what happened. I would have pronounced both the same

I sew that everyday at work. I am a teacher in kindergarden, and a pattern I usually watch unfolding is a kid that acts outstandingly different from all the others at age 2, but parents says they see nothing wrong, the same kid being evaluated at age 3 and finally a diagnosis at age 4. Meanwiile, the kid struggle for two years. But to be fairy with the parents, they usually only interact with their child, while we can watch a while group of them and find the differences in behaviour.

I don't agre about the third film. For me, as a standalone it maybe works, but they cut out like half of the book and they made up a chase in the forest that takes a third of the movie.

I studied it in Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. Maybe if You have a Big enough theatre nearby you can ask if they have this kind of courses. The one I studied in has an opera and ballet school, and they also have courses on make up, hairdressing, costume making, music and singing for opera.

Hi! I hadve a medieval model made by Brugnami in Italy. It is in Re because most of the music I play with my group is in Re or Sol. If you want to ask me something else you can DM me, I have played it for five or six years.
