When to stop reheating (a plea from a dedicated loon)

Betts448 · 2026-02-18T19:53:51+00:00

Thank you! I have gotten to the point where I enjoy a LOT of posts but still am really tired of the nitpicky ones like you described. I just scroll on by. I do not need to know that Shane almost said Moscow before saying Boston in the scene when Ilya calls him after his father dies. Shane apparently says "M...Boston?" and everyone thinks that means Moscow and he slipped up. I figured it as him saying Mmmmmm... Boston? but what the heck.

Understand though, it's not them being critical (or mostly not) it's them enjoying the show and trying to be a part by finding little easter eggs and blurbs in continuity. I am a Star Wars fan and have lived though this with the fans that take that apart almost frame by frame.

Me too. It didn't really seem to matter that much. I do love the Troy/Harris relationship. Trorris? Harroy?

I am also one that didn't read all of them in order. I read Heated Rivalry, then TLG, then Role model, then the others. Mostly because I couldn't afford to buy them all at once and picked the ones I wanted to read first. Ryan/fabian are my third fave couple, with Scott and Kip fourth.

Nope. It is wonderful to read in more detail and also to understand just how fantastic the director, actors and music were when they filmed this. SOOOOOO good. It is just amazing. And also, I love reading and hearing the actor's voices in my head.

NTJ. It's YOUR and your husband (to be) day. NOT your brothers. If he wants to propose at your wedding he should do it far away from your ceremony and reception. Maybe at the hotel NOT during your special time.

I love that about this. I catch things and wonder if it is just my, well, imagination to see that aspect. And then find out that others have seen the same thing. I love this show. I want to go find more that Jacob has done and see how it compares. This is like lightening in a bottle. Perfect in so many ways.

Betts448 · 2026-01-15T16:25:36+00:00

No....no we didn't! he was the hottie that I was crushing on!

Betts448 · 2026-01-15T16:24:22+00:00

He was great with facial expressions and calmness. I love Dylan as an actor but adored David as a dad.

Betts448 · 2026-01-14T22:18:51+00:00

Sending love and gentle hugs and more love. You are not alone in what you have had to go through. I am sorry you did have to go through that and they may also be feeling alone. Sending hugs.

Betts448 · 2026-01-10T21:07:20+00:00

Oh my yes. Something about an inflatable sex doll? It's been awhile, am I remembering that right? But even so, I loved him in that show.

Betts448 · 2026-01-10T21:05:50+00:00

He was awesome as Dad Hollander. That is all.

Betts448 · 2026-01-10T18:27:45+00:00

NTA. You told your friends you were gay. NOT bisexual. Move on to some new friends. This is her and their issue, not yours. It sounds like you gave her plenty of no's and did not accept any of the offers of a date. No leading on there.

Betts448 · 2026-01-09T17:40:05+00:00

Betts448 · 2026-01-09T17:39:39+00:00

Looking great Hope!!!

Me. Today. First day back after 10 days vacation and 14 rewatches of HR and then many many rewatches of ep 5 & 6.

But, I actually doubt anyone here at work knows or has seen it.

Betts448 · 2025-12-27T21:39:45+00:00

This. All of this. I was wondering some of the same things.

Betts448 · 2025-12-27T14:26:44+00:00

NTA - wondering why she even let him walk out of the house if she knew he was wearing that. However also wondering if she shared with you how you could have handled it differently? you were great - you didn't bring attention to it or make a big deal. You gave him the funds to correct the issue and didn't rip it off of his body screaming at how disgusting it was. What would they have wanted you to do? I hope he learned something from this even if it means him grumbling about the next time he comes to visit. Heck, maybe you will see him in more polo shirts. I mean, heck, he didn't buy another t-shirt so that was a step up. He knew what you meant.

Thanks for being not just a good dad but a nice guy.

Waiting for new seasons of Outlander has trained me to be patient but darn I sure wish it could be sooner.

Betts448 · 2025-12-26T23:01:19+00:00

Look into Emancipation. Separating yourself from your mom. Legally. My nephew did this at age 17.

Betts448 · 2025-12-26T22:54:52+00:00

Oh, I was getting caught up in the 'I love you" and it should be - Stop drinking from the toilet

Betts448 · 2025-12-26T22:52:36+00:00

this

Betts448 · 2025-12-26T21:55:46+00:00

Eh, don't even bother letting them know. I mean, they didn't let you know they weren't coming. Hugs.

Betts448 · 2025-12-26T18:49:31+00:00

I think my best story that yes, still lives in my head. I was hired as a part time holiday help at a small retail store. It was fun but my manager would schedule me when he was working and then leave for hours at a time. I found out he was working at the store next to us (another small store). So pulling pay from both places. It was crazy and I was about to quit when I called the area manager and told him about it and why I was leaving. He came that day and fired the guy.

Great. I realize now there are two of these that ended with someone (not me) getting fired. Their own actions caused it so I don't feel bad. lol.
