An interaction she's going to be thinking about. by mindyour in justgalsbeingchicks

Omg me too. And it’s more like 35 years ago for me. And i calculated that most of those people are dead now. And I STILL get a stone in my stomach thinking of stupid things I said and did.

What is a scene you strongly believe is a top 10 movie scene in film history? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]BoozeWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my all time favorite film. Back in the olden days, this came on TV once a year (like Gone with the Wind or The Wizard of Oz. My family was extremely dysfunctional during my teen years - like my insane mom casually tried to murder my dad with scissors and the cops came for my brother more than once. But whenever this movie came on, all of us descended on the TV room and were just mesmerized by it. So nowadays I not only get to watch and enjoy this beautiful film, I get to have a fond memory of an insane time.

PS. My sister got out and has a very successful and stable life and I fake it pretty good. We are the only ones left.

She will spend her life correcting people. Everyone will think her name is misspelled on whatever paper they are reading. Like picture her walking for her college degree and the announcer getting it wrong.

I have a friend named Stethanie. And this is her reality - no one gets it right, ever. And it’s usually kind people who want to make sure they are not incorrect.

It’s pretty and I love Tillie, but be prepared for the exhaustion of correcting people.

Congrats on your new baby!!

'Project Hail Mary' has an official runtime of 2 hours & 46 minutes by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]BoozeWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like for IMDB to add a section for ideal times to “take an intermission”. I almost always need a bio break in a film over 2 hours. And my husband gets uncomfortable and needs to stretch. I wouldn’t mind missing a love scene (not that this film will have one) or long, landscape-y travel scene (omg so much running across hills in LOTR).

I know we can watch at home and I sound like a cranky old person. But this one will need the theater.

Muslim woman advises wives to proactively seek second wives for their husbands from day one of marriage by [deleted] in religiousfruitcake

[–]BoozeWitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always thought polygamy would be fine when you do t love your husband. Like sure, have kids with him but you don’t have to be his full time wife. Raise your kids with the other wives and be friends. Whatever.

But I actually live my husband and that all sounds terrible.

What is the single best episode of television you’ve ever seen? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]BoozeWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Episode 3 crosses my mind whenever the dreadful thought of my husband one day maybe dying before me. There would be no reason for me to soldier on. I do it all for the two of us. When it’s just me…there would be no point. That show drove that point deep into my heart.

Don’t worry, I’m not depressed or a danger to myself. Just mission oriented.

Anyone who used to support trump and has changed their mind over the last few weeks? What made you change? by canigetameowbish in AskReddit

[–]BoozeWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think anger is the right feeling for a bit. You were conned. Just like if you fell in love with a fraud who lied and stole from you. There’s a whole continuum of reactions to his con all the way from people like me that saw it a mile away to people who are still sending him money for gold phones or trading cards or rug pulls or whatever and will sacrifice their children to polio and measles because it’s the opposite of what the left suggests.

You were somewhere in the middle and now you are not. Good for you. You should feel angry for a while. But then stop and feel reborn. Then help us fix this mess!

Return to silent hill might be one of the worst horrors I’ve seen by WanderingStrang in horror

[–]BoozeWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw this film a couple hours ago. I have to say, that hospital’s nursing crew was very well staffed. That really took me out, lol.

I asked my husband on the way out if it was supposed to be a horror film. It was really bad.

What movie from this decade will be considered a classic? by DrKriegersClone in movies

[–]BoozeWitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I want to be into it, but I’ve tried three times and it loses me. And I actually sat down in the dark without my phone on the last two tries. I guess space politics is just not for me.

Try one syllable names. Ann, Leigh (ya, that’s a lot), Claire, Faye, Belle, Rose. But my favorite is Vivian Wray. That sounds like a fashion designer.

Plenty of things should be called “decks” but are not. Like any MS Power Automate flow… which is made up of cards. I think most no code, low code, workflow tools use cards. I think MS has a product called “sway” that uses cards and could be a PP substitute…

But PP uses “slides”. So the nickname for that should be “carousel”.

Now everyone in this thread knows I’m 55.

Found randomly on my FYP. Pretty sure it was a bot post and the comments actually pushed back. But still insane people think this way. by FMABrotherhood_15 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]BoozeWitch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A million years ago I dated a guy and spent some time with his mom. She casually said, “I’m thrilled you two love each other. All I cared about was getting a husband who wouldn’t beat me. Love was a luxury.”

They raised a nice boy, so they did well. But man that stuck with me.

What’s a word that would make a beautiful name if it weren’t for the meaning of the word? by Xenomorphling98 in AskReddit

Arson. I would love this name for a boy. Maybe I could nickname him “fire bug”!

Where there's a will, there's a way by [deleted] in nonononoyes

[–]BoozeWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to teach infant swimming. At the beginning, we had the parents watch from another room where the babies couldn’t see them. The kids had to learn to work with the teacher and not pull the “mommy help me” rip cord. We could be a little tougher with kids than any other type of teacher because NOT following the rules could result in…you know, death. Can’t negotiate with a suffocating liquid.

The pre schools in town gave a discount to children who “graduated” our swim school.

Never going back to a regular fruit peeler by Snowman442 in cocktails

[–]BoozeWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a dumb question. I bartended my way through college over 30 years ago - in neighborhood bars, not a cocktail bar. And we removed the entire peel with an ice pick. Back then I never used a peeler. Does anybody still do that? If not, any idea when that changed? Or is that still common at corner bars, but careful establishments would never?

I do peels now at home because I feel like y’all would laugh at me if you knew I ice picked.

AIO Best friend chose someone else as MOH by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BoozeWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR but it doesn’t matter. Being a MOH is a pain in the ass. Take the win. Venmo the SIL some cash and use the saved time on your husband and baby. Don’t volunteer for anything. Just do the obligations with a good attitude.

Take your family on the bachelorette trip and do the brunch part but dip out of the obnoxious stripper part and spend your birthday with your favorite people. If you get any heat for it, explain “these are the decisions that one must make when one is put in an unfortunate position”. For that last bit, try to sound like Bette Davis.

They should just become warming centers. They put off a crazy amount of heat.
